Description
Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s RFA 2027-103 combines competitive 9% Housing Credits with State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) financing to develop permanent supportive housing for homeless households. It is open to qualifying nonprofit applicants proposing entirely new construction in designated Medium and Large Florida counties, with a portion of units also serving persons with special needs.
The program addresses the need for stable housing and coordinated access to community-based healthcare and supportive services, including for individuals living in more restrictive settings because appropriate housing is unavailable. Florida Housing seeks to distribute financing across the state over time. This cycle targets at least one development in each of the North and South regions, with a preference for funding both a Large County and a Medium County development.
