Historical PerspectiveBoley was founded in 1970 as a 20-bed halfway

house for men.In 1979, Pinellas County (primarily Boley) was

chosen as one of three sites in the State to develop a “deinstitutionalization project.”

As a result, Boley expanded from 31 to 200 beds.

In 1984, Boley purchased its first residential facility.

By 1994, all residential facilities had been converted from rental to agency-owned.

Historical Perspective

In 1988, Boley received its first (of 10) HUD McKinney Act Homeless Grants.

Also in 1988, Boley opened its first HUD 811 funded project - Bessie Boley and Ruth Mosher Apartments. Ten more followed, Two more are pending construction, and one was just awarded.

Then in 1992, Boley initiated a Supported Housing Program.

Section 8 tenant-based rent subsidy vouchers, an award of $1,724,780, for people with disabilities. We now manage 409 housing vouchers with annual budget of over $3,000,000
