PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. â The red hot housing market shows no signs of slowing down and when combined with the population density in Pinellas County, it s easy to see why so many people are having problems getting a home right now.
That conundrum has led Pinellas County, its 25 city governments, and Forward Pinellas to band together to tackle the critical shortage of affordable housing.
âThe price of housing is really through the roof, and it just continues to rise, Whit Blanton, Forward Pinellas Executive Director said.
