Worst non profit!!!! We have been dealing with this horrible, dishonest company for 8 years now and all they have done in our neighborhood is cause problems and take from existing residents. They have taken land from the people it should have went to then built that land up causing other properties to be severely flooded but they still refuse to take responsibility for it. They also placed a drug dealing gang members family in that home who was breeding Pitt bulls and allowing them to run the neighborhood attacking children, other residents, and even the county dog officer. The ceo of Homeport would also try to blackmail us at one point.
They have received millions and millions of federal and state tax dollars to do this to the people in my area and the agencies that are supposed to be insuring Homeport is in compliance are only ignoring problems or just flat up trying to cover them up. This non profit needs to be investigated!!!!!
