Description
Florida Housing Finance Corporation combines competitive 9% Housing Credits with State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) financing to develop permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals and families. The opportunity is open to nonprofit applicants proposing new construction in designated medium and large Florida counties, with a portion of units 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 people living in more restrictive settings because appropriate housing is unavailable. Florida Housing seeks to distribute financing across the state over time. This cycle includes goals to fund at least one homeless development in each of the North and South regions, with a preference for funding both a large-county and a medium-county development.
