Recent hurricane seasons created the need for both short term and long term affordable housing needs in Florida. Among the overall housing needs are specialized needs that are not easily met by previously approved hurricane relief programs. To address these needs and to implement recommendations of the Governor’s Hurricane Housing Work Group, the following programs are established: The Farmworker Housing Recovery Program (FHRP) for the purpose of providing affordable housing options for extremely low income migrant farmworkers in Florida; and the Special Housing Assistance and Development Program (SHADP) to provide financing for acquisition, rehabilitation and new construction of developments targeted to hard-to-serve households which include, frail elders, persons with a disability and homeless people.
