Description
Florida Housing Finance Corporation administers this competitive financing opportunity for affordable multifamily housing in designated small and medium Florida counties. It supports new construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition with rehabilitation, with demographic commitments serving families or elderly residents, including assisted living facilities. This is housing-development financing rather than support for research or scientific work.
The program combines Housing Credit financing with income-restricted housing commitments, extremely low-income unit set-asides, and special-needs housing requirements. Selection includes preferences related to developer experience, development category, proximity to transit and community services, and permit readiness. The RFA also provides for nonprofit applications, Local Government Areas of Opportunity, and a SunRail development goal.
