Florida Realtors license plate raises $260K
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Feb. 11, 2011 – Florida’s “Support Homeownership for All” license plate – a project initiated by Florida Realtors – collected more than $260,000 by Dec. 31, 2010.

The license plate project collected about $260,000 that was used, in part, to help 15 low-income families secure an affordable home. License plate money goes to a separate nonprofit organization, Homeownership for All Inc., within Florida Realtors. The organization’s board of directors manages the funds and supports affordable housing programs.

Local Realtor organizations and affiliated groups that received license plate funds include:

• The Realtor Association of St Lucie Attainable Housing Foundation
• The West Pasco Board of Realtors’ local Habitat for Humanity chapter
• The Realtors Care Foundation of the Greater Tampa Association of Realtors
• Habitat for Humanity Orlando
 
“Support Homeownership for All” license plates can be ordered through the mail, online or at any county tax collector’s office. The license plate costs an additional $25 beyond the state’s fees for a tag. Tags purchased online include a convenience fee of either $2 or 2.95 percent of the tag’s total cost.
