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, serving either families and the general population or elderly residents, including assisted living facilities. This is housing development financing rather than research funding.
The program combines geographic funding allocations with income-restricted housing commitments and development-readiness requirements. Selection considers local government Area of Opportunity support, proximity to transit and community services, permit readiness, developer experience, leveraging, and Florida job creation. Funding goals also address SunRail locations, family developments in Geographic Areas of Opportunity or HUD-designated SADDAs, and qualifying nonprofit applications.
