Health Care Center for the Homeless (HCCH), Inc. operates a residential healthcare facility that provides care to homeless persons who cannot stay in regular shelters due to health conditions, including communicable diseases.

The City of Orlando has leased property located in unincorporated Orange County at 1518 37th Street to HCCH for a healthcare facility since 2004.

The lease terminated on October 31, 2024. However, HCCH desires to continue operating the facility as a residential healthcare facility for homeless persons who cannot stay in a regular homeless shelter due to health conditions such as active tuberculosis and wheelchair-bound persons who are medically vulnerable. The City of Orlando is agreeable on the terms detailed in the attached lease agreement.

The lease terms are as follows: Annual rent shall be $1.00; the initial lease term will be five years, commencing November 1, 2024, and ending October 31, 2029, with five additional one-year options. After the first year, either party may terminate the lease at its convenience upon ninety (90) days’ written notice.

HCCH must insure the property and maintain the facility in good condition, and failure to do so will be a material breach of the lease. Tenant obligations include, but are not limited to, the maintenance and repair of the roofs, foundations, windows, landscaping, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), electrical and plumbing systems, and interior and exterior of all buildings and improvements on the property. 

HCCH has agreed to renovate the facility within 6–12 months from the lease commencement date, and the City of Orlando may terminate the lease if HCCH has not completed the renovations within one year.
