Kudos to the Volunteers of America Florida, City of St. Petersburg, and Pinellas County for the recent opening of the new downtown apartments, located in the Innovation District called Innovare. Innovare’s 50 apartments provide stable homes for individuals and families who earn 60 percent or less of the Area’s Median Income (AMI), including many who are transitioning from homelessness. The complex also doubles as the new headquarters for Volunteers of America Florida, which developed Innovare as part of its mission to help struggling people get back on their feet through personal healing and stable housing.
Innovare's location next to workforce apartments, luxury townhomes and a hotel, makes this corner of the Innovation District a great demonstration of how individuals at different income levels and life situations can live side-by-side.
