Applications for the purchase of the house built as a result of the Building Florence Together partnership between the Town of Florence & the Florence Unified School District, commonly known as the "High School House," are accepted until 5 pm on Friday, July 18th.
The completed home, located at 745 S. Central Avenue in Florence, is sold at a reduced cost to a Florence resident or family through an evaluation process where applicants are scored on 3 characteristics. These characteristics include level of income, number of dependents, & a FICO credit score. The applicant with the highest overall score is awarded the opportunity to purchase the home, subject to qualifying for a traditional loan.
The Building Florence Together project is an innovative partnership where the Town of Florence provides initial financing & administration, & Florence High School provides selected students with an opportunity to learn "real-world" construction skills while receiving supervision & training from local contractors.
Applications are available at Town Hall & need to be completed & returned to Town Hall by the July 18th, deadline. Incomplete or late applications are not accepted. For more information contact Ken Lawrence, Grants Coordinator, at (520) 868-7554 or by email at Ken.Lawrence@town.florence.az.us.
