On 10th Street in Holly Hill, just north of Daytona Beach, the doors of Fox Pointe are open. The new community holds 70 apartments. Thirty-five of them — half — are set aside for people and families coming out of housing insecurity.
The $25.9 million development is a partnership between Housing Trust Group and HfH Supportive Housing. Rents run from about $300 to $1,889 a month, serving households at 22, 30, 60 and 80 percent of the area median income. There are 36 one-bedroom, 24 two-bedroom and 10 three-bedroom homes, along with a pool, playground, picnic pavilion and on-site resident services.
What turns an address into a fresh start is the work behind the keys. HfH connects people through referrals from local shelters, case managers and community organizations, including the Volusia/Flagler Counties Coalition for the Homeless. Leeanne Sacino, the organization’s president and CEO, said the individualized services are meant to address the barriers to housing stability and help residents build independence.
It is the second such partnership for the two groups, following Orchid Lake Apartments in Cocoa in 2024. The 2025 Point-in-Time Count recorded 1,083 people experiencing homelessness across Volusia and Flagler counties. Against a need that large, 35 homes is a beginning rather than an ending — but it is a real one.
Scripture speaks of welcoming the stranger, and sometimes that welcome looks like a lease, a front door and neighbours who are glad you made it.
