Affordable housing coming to Riviera Beach

South Florida’s housing crisis continues to impact hard working families, but now there is hope coming to a local city in Palm Beach County.

Riviera Beach broke ground on a new affordable housing complex for low-income families along the revitalized stretch of Broadway Avenue on Tuesday.

It’s called Berkeley Landing, and it will be built on a vacant lot along US-1.

“This is critical,” said Riviera Beach City Manager Jonathan Evans. “This type of development is going to create synergy within the corridor and is going to allow for additional economic development within our city.”
