Community Home Solutions was established in 1993 to provide affordable housing for persons of low and moderate income and to combat community blight and deterioration by undertaking and assisting community revitalization efforts in Bay County.

Community Home Solutions has three programs to assist in this purpose:  The Homebuyer Purchase/Rehabilitation program, the Acquisition Development/Resale program, and the Neighborhood Preservation Project.  

In addition, homebuyer counseling is available to homeowners and homebuyers.  Pre-purchase education and budget counseling is given to potential homebuyers in the community who participate in Community Home Solutions' and other agency down payment assistance programs.  Foreclosure Prevention counseling is available to homeowners in the area who are facing financial difficulties.

Since 2008, Community Home Solutions has also become the Third Party Administrator to the County Housing Rehabilitation Programs in Bay County.
