Preserving affordable homes and protecting homeownership are essential to building strong, stable communities. Across Florida, families face growing challenges that threaten housing stability, including rising costs, aging housing stock, heirs' property issues, disaster impacts, and displacement pressures. The NeighborWorks Florida Collaborative works with local organizations, public agencies, and community partners to advance strategies that help residents remain safely housed, protect generational wealth, and sustain affordable housing opportunities for future generations.

Why Housing Preservation Matters

Housing preservation is about more than maintaining buildings. It is about protecting families, neighborhoods, and long-term community assets.

Preservation efforts help:

• Prevent the loss of affordable housing
• Support aging homeowners
• Protect generational wealth
• Reduce displacement
• Strengthen neighborhood stability
• Improve long-term housing affordability
• Increase community resilience after disasters
