ABOUT US

Mission statement of TBNHS

Established in 1979, Tampa Bay Neighborhood Housing Services (TBNHS) - formerly known as Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services - provides communities across Hillsborough, Pasco, & Pinellas counties a selection of essential services, including education and homeownership assistance, credit counseling, property rehabilitation, real estate development, and other community economic development services. The seeds for TBNHS were planted by a group of concerned residents seeking to address the decline of Clearwater's South Greenwood neighborhood, which at the time had more than 6,600 residents and some of the most historic homes in the city.
