GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Florida Housing Finance Corporation (the Corporation) was appropriated $10 million in non-recurring grant funds by the 2013 Legislature for housing for Persons with Developmental Disabilities as defined in Section 393.063, F. S. On October 11, 2013, Florida Housing issued a Request for Applications (RFA) to allocate $4 million of the $10 million appropriation for small properties consisting of no more than four (4) Units. Through this RFA, Florida Housing selected to finance 14 small Permanent Supportive Housing developments for persons with developmental disabilities for a total allocation of $2,016,991. The remaining balance ($1,983,009) of the $4 million allocation will be made available, through this RFA, for the same purpose of financing small permanent supportive housing developments consisting of no more than four (4) units.

The legislation specifies that the Corporation will offer the funding through a competitive grant program to private Non-Profit organizations that have a primary mission which includes serving Persons with Developmental Disabilities. Funding must be used for new construction and renovation of existing housing Units, including Community Residential Homes as defined in Section 419.001, F.S.
