Fresh Start
Bobolink Street, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32547
In 2008 Okaloosa Community Development Corporation partnered with Okaloosa Coalition on the Homeless,
DBA Fresh Start for Children and Families to form Harbour Place Apartments, LLC in order to fulfill a joint
mission of building a Special Needs Housing Project for homeless families in Okaloosa County.
Okaloosa Community Development ‘s Board of Directors Chairman, Aaron Wentz, and Treasurer, Mike Kent,
hand the Title to Okaloosa Coalition on the Homeless’ President Charlie Brown. The Title was signed over to
Okaloosa CDC during the construction phase of the project.
The project, which was built in two phases over a period of six years encompassed the demolition of the derelict
buildings which had housed the Fresh Start clients since 1984. The project serves the homeless population of
Okaloosa and Walton Counties by providing Transitional housing to homeless children and families and those
who are in imminent danger of becoming homeless to give a “Hand up” to them with the goal of “Renewing
Hope and Rebuilding Lives”.
Community Volunteers
Okaloosa CDC committed and expended $600,000 SHIP dollars, in conjunction with a $500,000 Federal Home
Loan Grant and $150,000 Land contribution by Fresh Start for the construction of the first of these buildings, a
twelve unit apartment building, which was completed in 2009.
The second building, comprised of ten units was completed in February 2013, Okaloosa CDC contributed
$183,200 of SHIP Funds, $722,500 of Federal Home Loan Grant Funds, and a bank mortgage in the amount of
$227,000.
Fresh Start, Construction Phase II
For a grand total of SHIP funds $783,200, Federal Home Loan Grant funds $1,222,5000, donation dollars
$150,000 and the assumed mortgage of $227,000.
The bank partner for both phases was BB&T. In addition the City of Fort Walton Beach CRA refunded
approximately $50,000 in permitting fees and costs so that the Community Services Building could be
reconfigured to provide space for resident services and activities.
Housing is now provided to twenty-two (22) very low income and homeless families. Family counselling, adult
education classes and life skills planning are provided at no cost. This will help to enable the families to move
forward into permanent housing with a base knowledge and a grounded family structure.
