Housing development for homeless gains national recognition
Pinellas Countyâs commitment to housing people in the greatest need has been recognized on a national scale for a recent project to help those who are homeless and disabled.
The Sally Poynter Preserves at Clam Bayou in St. Petersburg provides 24 one-bedroom units, with eight set aside specifically for veterans. Each resident receives comprehensive services from Boley Centers staff to ensure their basic needs are met and to help them acquire or restore the skills and support necessary to maintain their independence.
Completing this affordable development required a unique public-private partnership exemplified in an Award of Excellence at the spring 2021 conference of the National Association of Local Housing Finance Agencies.

The Prince William County Board of Supervisors recently approved an application that will be used to explore a cemetery owned by one of the first families of Virginia.
The Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism recently got approval from the Board to apply for a Certified Local Government grant to conduct an archaeological dig at the Berea Cemetery, which resides on the grounds of the Forest Greens Golf Course in Triangle.
