​

Palm Beach County is calling on industry professionals to help shape the future of its Workforce Housing Program. Your insights and suggestions are crucial to ensuring that the program effectively addresses the housing needs of the county’s workforce.

Why Workforce Housing Matters

It ensures that people who work in the county, including teachers, firefighters, nurses, and other essential workers, can afford to live close to their jobs. Adequate workforce housing contributes to a strong local economy, reduces traffic congestion, and enhances the overall quality of life for residents.
