Multi-Tenant Housing Units (MTHUs)

Multi-Tenant Housing Units (MTHUs) is an innovative housing concept to help solve the affordable housing crisis in Palm Beach and Broward County.

MTHUs provide clean, safe, and affordable housing to people with annual income under $35,000.

MTHUs are Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units with 21st Century enhancements to internal and external features of the building. Rooms are 100-120 square feet (the size of an apartment bedroom). Residents share private, single-occupancy bathrooms with proposed upgrades to shared kitchens and elevators for seniors and disabled tenants. The communal design lowers costs while providing tenants with a better living experience…all while keeping monthly rent in the $600 range. MTHUs do not require any tax breaks or government subsidies. 

We changed the name of our affordable housing concept from MCHU (Micro-Communal Housing) to MTHU (Multi-Tenant Housing Units). We learned that the City Council in Toronto, Canada recently adopted Multi-Tenant Housing city-wide. Toronto uses the MTHU moniker and we want to ensure consistency with this proven housing concept and regulatory structure.
