Provides Housing to Eligible Pinellas County Homeless Families

The Family Housing Assistance Program (FHAP) is designed to assist homeless families that have been referred by the Pinellas County Coordinated Entry System (CES). Coordinated Entry is a process developed to ensure that all people experiencing a housing crisis have fair and equal access and are quickly identified, assessed for, referred, and connected to housing and assistance based on their strengths and needs. CES is a standardized process used throughout the country.
