St. Petersburg Housing Authority Proposes 47-Unit Affordable Senior Housing Expansion at Clearview Park Apartments
The St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA) has proposed an expansion of Clearview Park Apartments, which includes a new four-story, 47-unit building designed to provide affordable housing with a leasing preference for seniors. The project, located at 3200 37th Avenue North, also involves renovating the existing affordable family housing units. This initiative aims to address the significant need for elderly housing identified by SPHA President and CEO Michael Lundy, based on the agency's waiting list. The current Clearview Park Apartments consist of 22 garden-style units built in 1982 on a 3.12-acre site. The plan involves renovating 18 existing apartments and demolishing four to create road access for the new building, ultimately increasing the total number of apartments to 65, a net gain of 43 units.
