Elderly Housing Management Corporation (EHMC) lives its ministry of meeting the needs of senior citizens by providing quality, affordable housing. Our low-income apartments for senior citizens interested in aging in place are located in Jacksonville Beach, FL.
Pablo Towers opened as a newly built high-rise containing 199 units in 1973 at Jacksonville Beach, Florida. 168 units are Section 8, HUD subsidized, and 31 units are considered market-rate units. The property was managed by a Board of Directors comprised of members who represented the 19 beaches churches that were part of the Beaches Ministerial Association. Pablo Towers is still owned by Beaches Christian Service Corps., Inc, a faith based nonprofit 501, (c) 3 corporation.
In 2002, the Jacksonville office of HUD asked the Board of Directors of Pablo Towers to consider purchasing Cooper Holt Manor, a nearby, troubled property that was in receivership. Beaches Elderly Housing Corp., Inc., a faith based, nonprofit 501,
(c) 3 corporation, was formed by the Board of Directors of Pablo Towers in order to purchase this property, which had 104 Section 8 units. The property was completely renovated into an outstanding facility after its purchase, today known as Pablo Hamlet.
In 2013, Pablo Towers made the final payment to HUD on the 40-year facility construction loan. With the mortgage paid and available funds remaining,
construction began at the site of the original community room, which would develop into a three-story building with a commercial kitchen, offices and 15 non-subsidized apartments. In 2015, the addition became The Suites at Pablo Towers.
The commercial kitchen, which would later become the Pablo Café, provided a new way to socialize and offer healthy lunches for residents.
Elderly Housing Management Corp., Inc. a faith based, nonprofit 501 (c) 3 corporation was subsequently formed in 2002 in order to manage both Pablo Towers and Cooper Holt Manor, now renamed Pablo Hamlet. This was the beginning of the EHMC ministry to care for the lower income seniors in “decent, safe and sanitary housing.” Since that time, EHMC has been in business managing 317 units for the elderly.
Pablo Towers and Pablo Hamlet continue to be owned by their own faith based, nonprofit 501, (c) 3 corporations with EHMC, Inc holding separate management contracts as management agent for each facility.
