A new affordable housing complex opens in Kissimmee, Florida

With a great celebration, community leaders and residents enjoyed the inauguration of Cameron Preserve II, an affordable housing complex in Kissimmee that was expanded and revitalized, providing a new home for numerous families in the city and the state of Florida.

Viviana Janer, Osceola County Commissioner, expressed in an interview with a local media outlet during the celebration that this initiative to provide affordable housing rentals for middle- and low-income families also includes a financial commitment of $8.2 million from Osceola County. She said the project’s idea is to move families living in precarious housing to a better, more stable, and safer place for them.

She concluded by saying, “For us, it is crucial to make these investments, which is why we used some of the COVID-19 funds to invest in something that is vital for our families.”

The story of Cameron Preserve began with the construction of Phase 1, which was developed in 2018 and today consists of 100 housing units. Now, with the second phase, 84 units have been developed, and all are already occupied.

David Hall, a board member of the Florida Housing Financial Corporation, said, “This indicates that there is a demand, and it shows that we strive to meet the demand so that people can have a lasting place to live.”

Monica Cabrera, one of the residents of Kissimmee who recently moved into her new apartment, expressed, “The rent price is something I can afford, now I feel in a stable place, and I am very happy because I can finally have my own place.”

But with Cameron Preserve II, investments in Osceola County and the city of Kissimmee do not seem to end, as county officials noted that $43 million has already been committed over the next four years for various affordable housing projects throughout the community.
