Florida Housing Finance Corporation received non-recurring grant funds appropriated by the 2013 Legislature for housing for persons with developmental disabilities as defined in s. 393.063, Florida Statutes. The focus of this workshop will be to discuss and take public and stakeholder comments concerning Florida Housing’s proposed approach for a competitive application process to distribute $4 million of the appropriation to be used to fund the development of supportive housing options that serve up to six persons with developmental disabilities. The funding shall be used for the creation of additional housing through new construction, acquisition and rehabilitation, or rehabilitation; as well as the renovation of existing supportive housing already purposed to serve up to six persons with developmental disabilities. The grants must be awarded to private nonprofit organizations whose primary mission includes serving persons with developmental disabilities.
