Florida experienced the destructive impact of four hurricanes in 2004. The hurricanes created both short-term and long-term housing needs for Floridians. To implement the February 2005 recommendations of the Governor’s Hurricane Housing Work Group, the Rental Recovery Loan Program, hereafter referred to as RRLP, is created for the purpose of providing funds to assist those areas of the state with the greatest housing damage from the hurricanes. Program funding is provided to enable eligible entities to build and rehabilitate affordable rental housing.
