Description
Florida Housing Finance Corporation administers this competitive State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) opportunity for smaller permanent supportive housing developments. It finances new construction rather than research. The housing serves persons with special needs who may live in residential facilities, experience homelessness, or lack affordable permanent rental housing in the community.
The program combines housing with assistance maintaining housing stability and accessing community-based healthcare and supportive services. Applicants must follow Housing First principles and provide voluntary, no-charge services coordination. The opportunity emphasizes experienced nonprofit ownership, property management, supportive-services partnerships, accessibility, and long-term operations. Florida Housing also provides technical assistance through development and stabilization to help applicants implement their housing and services plans.
