Purpose


As a result of the economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic many low-income residents of Florida are facing unprecedented financial difficulties in meeting their rent obligations. Florida Housing Finance Corporation finds that any rent increases during this Public Health Emergency would create an immediate danger to the public welfare and that creating incentives for owners of properties financed by the Corporation to suspend any rent increases during the emergency would help to alleviate this danger. Florida Housing also finds that it is necessary for the rule to become effective immediately on filing because of the immediate danger to the public welfare.
