Description
Florida Housing Finance Corporation administers RFA 2026-212 to finance affordable multifamily rental housing that forms part of a formal local community revitalization plan. The opportunity supports entirely new construction for Family developments (the general population), with a preference for developments in Qualified Census Tracts. Florida Housing expects to use its high-priority allocation of 9% Housing Credits for this opportunity.
The program focuses on localized investment rather than large-scale regional initiatives. Revitalization plans must bring together public and private stakeholders and resources to improve a defined community. Impact scoring considers the applicant’s revitalization experience, how the plan benefits intended residents, and how the development advances the plan through partnerships, services, nonresidential components, and other community assets.
