Description
Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s RFA 2026-212 supports affordable multifamily rental housing integrated into formal local community revitalization efforts. The program uses 9% Housing Credits for high-priority affordable housing developments and is open statewide to new-construction Family developments serving the general population. Rehabilitation of existing units is not allowed.
The revitalization plan must represent a coordinated initiative involving private and public stakeholders investing funding and other resources in the community. It must address economic investment and public improvements within an adopted geographic area. The program gives preference to developments located entirely within HUD-designated Qualified Census Tracts and evaluates developers’ revitalization experience, alignment with local housing priorities, resident benefits, and connections to community services and resources.
