Published: Aug 13, 2004
Get full text or downloads
Florida developed a model of affordable assisted living — Helen Piloneo Assisted Living — a 110-unit, 100 percent affordable assisted-living project in Pinellas Park.
The Florida Department of Elder Affairs partnered with the Florida Housing Finance Corp. and the Agency for Healthcare Administration on the project. The Pinellas County Housing Authority served as the demonstration sponsor.
The Pinellas County Housing Authority contracted with MIA Management Consultants to provide the services. (Information in this case study was abstracted from an article by Jenkens, Carder, Maher in Journal of Housing for the Elderly.)
The project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) national program Coming Home™: Affordable Assisted Living.
Key Results
- Coordination and conflicts between state programs were greatly reduced through formal and informal relationship building by Florida Coming Home project staff.
- The Florida Housing Finance Corp. tested a lending program for assisted living through a one-time loan program.
- These program accomplishments have encouraged mission-driven nonprofit organizations, those willing to work with the existing reimbursement, to undertake development projects to expand the availability of affordable assisted-living resources in Florida.
Funding
RWJF supported the project with a grants of $296,618 from February 2001 to January 2005.

Grant Results Reports
RWJF produces Grant Results reports on its funded initiatives. External writers and editors read the entire grant to prepare each report, which is then reviewed by RWJF staff and by the director of the initiative. Any reviewer in the chain may ask for changes in the report to improve clarity or accuracy.
