67-59.001. Purpose and Intent

In 2010, the United States Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”) created the Housing Finance Agency Innovation Fund for the Hardest Hit Housing Markets (“Hardest Hit Fund”) and allocated funds under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”) to Florida and other states. Florida Housing was directed by U.S. Treasury to create and administer foreclosure prevention assistance programs and to use a portion of these funds specifically for targeted unemployment programs that provide temporary assistance to eligible homeowners. Florida Housing’s use of these funds is governed by written agreements with U.S. Treasury. The Agreements, FHHF-01 Rev 8/13, (http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-03411), are hereby adopted and incorporated by reference. Copies may be obtained at no cost, by contacting Florida Housing, HHF program at [phone].
