Affordable Housing coming to Lake Worth beach

$78 million workforce, affordable housing units moving forward in Lake Worth Beach

"Currently, the 13,000-square-foot lot is just dirt and fencing on 2nd Ave. North in Lake Worth Beach — but by the end of 2028, it’ll be nearly 200 workforce and affordable apartments for eligible teachers, nurses and hospitality workers.

The majority of the 164 planned units will be county-assisted workforce housing, while the remaining 31 units will be income-restricted.

In Palm Beach County, workforce housing is meant for households earning 60%-110% of the Area Median Income (AMI), which means a family of four earning roughly between $55,000 and $100,000 a year. Affordable housing is typically for lower-income families.

Aggregate market data shows average rent in Lake Worth Beach is over $2,400 a month. [WLRN]

Lake Worth Beach, through the last decade, has intentionally encouraged poor immigrants/illegals to the city and consequently that's who lives here and who desperately need affordable housing. Only 31 units will be income restricted...nothing is going to change.
