Proposed Amendment to 2026 Annual PHA Plan
St. Petersburg Housing Authority
Amendment to the 2026 Annual Plan
The St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA) is amending its Annual PHA Plan to include provisions related to projects that are undergoing or will undergo a Restore-Rebuild (formerly known as Faircloth-to-RAD) conversion or a standard RAD conversion.
SPHA is seeking to amend its 2026 PHA Annual Plan to insert new provisions into the following Annual Plan sections:
50075-HP, Section B.1, Revision of Existing PHA Plan Elements
Statement of Housing Needs and Strategy for Addressing Housing Needs
SPHA may pursue Restore-Rebuild (f/k/a Faircloth-to-RAD) projects throughout our jurisdiction. This involves the creation of new ACC public housing units under Mixed-Finance and a subsequent conversion to project-based Section 8 (either PBRA or PBV) under RAD. We may designate projects as family, elderly, or elderly/disabled under public housing and may also have these occupancy preferences upon conversion to Section 8. However, we may also have projects with a different occupancy preference under RAD Section 8 than the initial designation under ACC public housing. We may provide rent augmentation to our Restore-Rebuild projects, funded with Section 8 HAP reserves and/or any other HUD-approved rent augmentation sources. These projects may involve new construction, rehabilitation, and/or acquisition.
50075-HP, Section B.2, New Activities
Mixed Finance Modernization and Development
Public Housing
SPHA may pursue Restore-Rebuild (f/k/a Faircloth-to-RAD) projects throughout our jurisdiction. This involves the creation of new ACC public housing units under Mixed-Finance and a subsequent conversion to project-based Section 8 (either PBRA or PBV) under RAD. We may designate projects as family, elderly, or elderly/disabled under public housing and may also have these occupancy preferences upon conversion to Section 8. However, we may also have projects with a different occupancy preference under RAD Section 8 than the initial designation under ACC public housing. We may provide rent augmentation to our Restore-Rebuild projects, funded with Section 8 HAP reserves and/or any other HUD-approved rent augmentation sources. These projects may involve new construction, rehabilitation, and/or acquisition.
Clearview Park
The Clearview Park redevelopment will be comprised of an approximately 22-unit rehab of an existing public housing building paired with an approximately 48-unit new construction project, both on the Clearview Park site, to create a 70-unit affordable housing project. The project will be financed with tax-exempt bonds, LIHTCs, and local soft loans and grants. All units in this project will be project is subject to LIHTC restrictions. A portion of the assisted units may have tenant selection preferences, which will be administered in accordance with RAD Program requirements.
The approximately 22 units known as Clearview Park that will be rehabilitated are existing public housing and are part of a 134-unit AMP (FL002-00002). As such, this will be a partial AMP conversion under a Small PHA RAD/Section 18 blend conversion. SPHA will apply for replacement TPVs prior to the RAD conversion and will project-base those vouchers in the project. Project plans may include the demolition of approximately 4 of the 22 units. If this demolition occurs, the units will be replaced in the adjacent new construction project. Resident relocation may be required as part of this redevelopment project.
In addition to the rehab and RAD conversion of existing public housing, an approximately 48-unit new construction project will be developed on excess land at Clearview Park. It is currently anticipated that all units in this building will be PBV units created under HUD's Restore-Rebuild program. This involves the creation of new ACC public housing units under Mixed-Finance and a subsequent conversion to Section 8 PBV under RAD. SPHA plans to designate this project as general occupancy under public housing, subject to change. However, this project will ultimately have an elderly occupancy preference under Section 8 PBV. SPHA plans to provide rent augmentation to this Restore-Rebuild project, funded with Section 8 HAP reserves and/or any other HUD-approved rent augmentation sources.
The details of the Restore-Rebuild new construction project are as follows:

Bay Pointe Tower
SPHA proposes to utilize our Faircloth limit in a Restore-Rebuild (f/k/a Faircloth-to-RAD) project called Bay Pointe Tower. This involves the creation of new ACC public housing units under Mixed-Finance and a subsequent conversion to Section 8 PBV under RAD. SPHA plans to designate this project as general occupancy under public housing, subject to change. However, this project will ultimately have an elderly occupancy preference under Section 8 PBV. SPHA plans to provide rent augmentation to this Restore-Rebuild project, funded with Section 8 HAP reserves and/or any other HUD-approved rent augmentation sources. This project involves new acquisition, rehabilitation, and temporary resident relocation. This project also involves the termination of an existing PBV Section 8 contract on 105 units.
The details of the Bay Pointe Tower project are as follows:
Public Housing Development selected for RAD under Restore-Rebuild
Name of Public Housing Project: Bay Pointe Tower
PIC Development No.: TBD
Conversion Type: PBV under RAD
Transfer of Assistance: No
Pre- RAD Unit Type: General Occupancy
Post-RAD Unit Type if different: Elderly Preference
Total Units: 210 (1)
De Minimis Reduction: N/A
Capital Fund allocation of Development: (Total Annual Capital Fund allocation divided by total number of public housing units in PHCD, multiplied by total number of units in project) $0

(1, 2) Subject to change - fewer units may be placed under this program than currently anticipated.
