Description
Florida Housing Finance Corporation administers this competitive program using legislative grant appropriations for housing for persons with developmental disabilities, as defined in Section 393.063, Florida Statutes. It supports new construction of smaller permanent supportive housing developments: either a single Community Residential Home or four to six Supported Living Units. Adding space to an existing property alone does not qualify.
The program seeks experienced nonprofit applicants and housing that supports residents’ choice, independence, and inclusion in the community. Proposals must address access to community services, healthcare, and supportive resources, alongside required accessibility, green building, universal design, and visitability features. Community Residential Homes receive funding preference, and funded developments must maintain demographic and affordability commitments for at least 15 years.
