NEW UPDATES:
 4 / 08 - "SOLD ON LARGO" FUNDING NOW AVAILABLE
The City of Largo has released additional funds for the "Sold on Largo" Assistance Program. Tampa Bay CDC can again accept applications for Largo assistance.
4 / 08 - SEMI-MONTHLY LENDER/REALTOR SEMINARS
DISCONTINUED AT CLEARWATER LIBRARY
Tampa Bay CDC will no longer offer the semi-monthly Lender/Realtor Orientation Seminars at the Clearwater Main Library. Over the past several months, more than 75% of the confirmed attendees have not shown up on the day of the seminar, and as a result, CDC has been training less than 10 people at each Seminar (after having prepared and expected 40-50 attendees). If you have a small group of no more than 10 people, you can contact our Office to schedule a training meeting at our N.E. Coachman office. If you have a group of 30 or more, we would be happy to conduct a Training Seminar at your Office.
Call (727) 442-7075 for more information.

2007 UPDATES:
10 / 3 / 07 - TITLE COMPANY LOCATION RESTRICTIONS:
Effective Immediately, Tampa Bay CDC will not close any assistance loan with a Title Company that is located outside of Pinellas, Pasco or Hillsborough County. We have experienced many difficulties recently with Title Companies located out of the area and out of the State, and in some cases, this has jeapordized our ability to be reimbursed by our Funding Sources for the assistance funds we advanced at closing.
Effective October 1, 2007, The City of Clearwater will only provide
assistance to households who earn below 80% MFI. We can no longer
provide assistance to moderate income households, regardless of
whether or not they purchase in a target area.
Effective August 8, 2007, Pinellas County will no longer permit their
assistance loans to be in third position behind any other assistance
programs.
