Isaiah Village Affordable Housing Planned Community 

The long-term vision for Isaiah Village is to secure a 5-acre planned community to provide residents, whether permanent or temporary, with independent supportive affordable housing within an inclusive community. 

 

Why the Focus on Housing? 

Affordable housing is essential for mental well-being, community inclusion, and life stability, especially for adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Many rely on Social Security benefits that fall far below market rent, leaving them priced out of housing options. In Pinellas County, an estimated 29,000 residents have IDD, yet only two dedicated housing programs exist, both with wait lists in the hundreds. Isaiah Village is working to change that.
