Housing

is the foundation of a fulfilled life.

When housing is at risk,
everything else becomes harder

We believe everyone should have a home

Ability Housing is a nonprofit developer of affordable housing in communities across Florida. Our tenants include low- to middle-income households, persons living with a disability, and people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We provide our neighbors with the opportunity and support they need so that they can lead fulfilling lives.

For too many Floridians, housing comes at a steep cost.

Wages have not increased at the same rate as property prices. Low- and middle-income households face daunting decisions about how to spend what little is left after rent. Food or medicine? Car repairs or utility bills? Daycare or debt payments? When housing consumes most of your budget, there are no easy choices.

Ability Housing eases this burden by bringing affordability to the forefront of Florida’s rental market.

We develop, renovate, and manage multifamily housing for people who simply can’t pay market-rate rent and make ends meet. We go beyond the traditional landlord-tenant relationship by pairing our properties with resident-focused services that empower tenants to improve their physical, financial, mental, and social health. By leveraging our capabilities gained from 15+ years in the affordable housing sector, we stabilize communities and make a sustainable impact.
