Homebuyer Assistance Program
The City of Port St. Lucie, in partnership with the Community Land Trust of Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast (CLT of PBCTC), launched a new PSL's Homebuyer Assistance Program.
The program is funded by a federal grant through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). It is specifically tailored to support moderate-income buyers who reside and/or work in Port St. Lucie. The program provides substantial financial assistance to help potential buyers purchase a home in Port St. Lucie, which will become part of the CLT of PBCTC.
Current Status: Closed
Online applications opened at 12 p.m. on June 12, 2024 and closed at 5 p.m. on June 17, 2024.
