ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The city of St. Pete just announced an aggressive plan to stave off gentrification and promote affordable housing as development pushes low- to moderate-income families outside the city limits. “Our plan will provide an increased supply of dwelling units, assist those who want to have homeownership, and help keep families in their existing homes so they don’t get pushed out by rising prices,” said Mayor Rick Kriseman. The city’s 10-year plan aims to create and preserve 4,200 multi-family units, add hundreds of workforce units, single-family homes and lots, as well as using grants and city funds to help more than 3,000 homeowners with code violations to help them stay in their homes.
