ABOUT CNHS
Through a partnership approach, Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. (CNHS) was formally established in 1979 by a group of concerned residents who wanted to address the continued decline of the South Greenwood neighborhood, a community of more than 6,600 residents with some of the oldest housing stock in the city. Owing to its success in home ownership counseling, housing development, rehabilitation and small business development, CNHS later expanded its target area of service to include North Greenwood in 1990.
In 1997, CNHS,Inc. expanded its targeted areas again to include Tarpon Springs. In 2009, the East Gateway District (Clearwater) was added as yet another target area for redevelopment. Since its inception, CNHS,Inc.has successfully managed the construction and rehabilitation of more than 900 single-family residential properties, primarily in Pinellas County.
In 1983, CNHS,Inc. further expanded its role in the creation and retention of small business development and lending programs. In 1999, it extended its lending capacity by becoming a Small Business Administration (SBA) micro loan lender.
In 2003, CNHS,Inc. partnered with Bank of America in the renovation of 192 rental units known as the Palmetto Park Apartments, formerly known as the Greenwood Apartments. This residential community had a history of being known as a pocket of blight, coupled with high crime and variety of social ills. CNHS,Inc. led the charge to change these conditions resulting in a $14.3 million public/private partnership.
By 2009, CNHS,Inc. continues to serve the three county area :Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough. It has expanded its services as well, from focusing solely on home ownership to providing educational opportunities, commercial lending, property rehabilitation, real estate development and property management activities. Isay Gulley, President and CEO, has been with the organization for more than 30 years, providing a stabilizing force within the organization. CNHSs Board of Directors is a partnership of residents and business leaders who are fully engaged in the organizations work and have facilitated a number of partnerships.
2011 CNHS,Inc. obtained its Registered Residential Contrators License from the State of Florida. This license is limited to construction, remodeling, repair or improvement of one-family, two family, or three-family residences not exceeding two habitable stories above no more than one unhabitable story and accessory use structures.
CNHS,Inc. was the first Neighborhood Housing Services in Florida to receive its charter from Neighborhood Reinvestment Corporation, now known as NeighborWorks America. Today, CNHS,Inc. is committed to meeting its mission by providing the following lines of business: Existing Homeowners Services, Home Ownership Promotion Services, Real Estate Development and Community Based Economic Development.
