County, Pensacola Habitat Host Homebuyer Workshop April 12

I'm your huckleberry

Are you dreaming of homeownership but worried about affordability? Escambia County and Pensacola Habitat for Humanity are joining forces to host a free homebuyer workshop focused on 14 newly constructed single-family homes available for eligible buyers.

Why this matters: This initiative aims to make homeownership accessible to individuals and families at or below 80% of the Area Median Income.
