PulteGroup and Delray Beach CRA Partner to Help Bridge Residential Affordability Gap in Delray Beach
South Florida is dealing with an affordable housing crisis. Many working professionals are no longer able to afford homes in the communities where they work. Teachers, nurses, firemen, teacher’s aides, nursing assistants, medical technologists, retail staff, government employees, emergency services providers and policemen are the people we rely upon to make every community viable, and they should have the opportunity to live where they work. Pulte is working with local municipalities and non-profit organizations to make the dream of homeownership a reality.
The availability of workforce housing also helps attract new industries to the community and encourages existing ones to expand their operations. Ensuring there are workforce housing options also stimulates economic growth, which leads to a better quality of life for everyone.
At the local level, PulteGroup has partnered with several agencies to provide workforce housing, including the West Palm Beach Housing Authority (Merry Place), and the Delray Beach CRA (Carver Square).

We are Home
Pulte is proud to participate in a new concept that helps keep families in their local neighborhoods and, at the same time, create new affordable housing opportunities. This unique effort helps prevent gentrification, as Pulte helps provide a new home on a lot that a family already owns. As opposed to selling, the family can stay for the long term or pass the new home onto a member of their family.
