The well-known nonprofit has announced the development of Windhorst Commons, a new housing development in town that will consist of 23 hurricane-resilient homes. All the homes will feature hurricane shutters, hip roofs, and concrete block construction for the first two stories. No wood-framed homes will be built in the new community. The homes are intended to serve families living at or below 80 percent of the area’s median income.
Hillsborough County Commissioner Gwen Myers recently cited the importance of addressing Hillsborough County’s growing housing affordability crisis. She has indicated the county’s long-term commitment to addressing both housing affordability and safety for area families.
Homeowner Michelle Range looks forward to moving into her handicap-accessible home within a few months, which is important for her son. She lost all her possessions in a flood during Hurricane Milton and expressed relief during her address at the groundbreaking:
“Today is my birthday, so this is a major blessing for the groundbreaking to happen on my actual birthday.”
The local Homes for Humanity affiliate, formed in 1987, has helped over 500 Hillsborough County residents build or improve their homes. Business Cards and other printing services are often used to promote real estate developments.
Hillsborough County contributed $1.4 million toward the project for home construction, plus another $600,000 in infrastructure support. The new development is located at 205 West Windhorst Road in Brandon. The first move-ins are expected in early 2026.
