About Us

Florida Home Partnership is the largest builder of USDA Mutual Self-Help Housing, east of the Colorado River!
Florida Home Partnership, Inc. is a not-for-profit, 501(c) 3 housing developer that provides affordable housing opportunities through the USDA Mutual Self-Help Housing Program. This program, also known as “sweat-equity housing,” allows first-time homebuyers to exchange 600 hours of unskilled and semi-skilled labor for a down payment on their home.  Founded in 1993, our organization, formerly known as Homes for Hillsborough, has helped hundreds of clients under 80% of the area median income build their own homes through the mutual self-help method.

Developing Sustainable Communities
