Developer and church team up to build affordable housing in Hillsborough

The perception commerce and religion shouldn’t mix, which at least dates back to the story of Jesus tossing the money changers from the temple, is getting tested in Hillsborough County.

That’s where a local church and a Tampa real estate developer have joined forces to build an affordable housing complex for senior citizens in a rural part of the county where the options are scarce, and the need is great. This complex will be built on the church’s property.
