Community Residential Home Program

PSL Neighborhoods aerial

Community Residential Homes are 24-hour residential group care facilities for adults licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) or Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD). These facilities are governed by Florida state law, and in the City of Port St. Lucie must adhere to our local ordinances.

Port St. Lucie has around 300 active Community Residential Home’s located in neighborhoods throughout the city that are required to register with the City’s Community Residential Home Program. Our CRH program helps the City make sure that all CRH facilities operating within the City are maintaining proper state licensing, are being monitored for calls for service, and are free of code violations.

It is the goal of the Neighborhood Services Department to help ensure that all residents living in Community Residential Homes in the City are being cared for by properly licensed and registered companies.

  • Failure to re-reserve a property or submit the required licenses may result in removal from the CRH map.
  • In the event a property owner would like to close or change ownership of a CRH facility, the property owner must submit a Termination Application to CRH@cityofpsl.com.
  • Property owners should maintain contact with Neighborhood Services every 30 days if their licenses are under review by a state agency.
  • If a facility is operating on a month-to-month license agreement with the agency, this needs to be communicated with the Neighborhood Services Department.
