Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s Statement on the 2019 Budget
Statement from Executive Director Trey Price on the 2019 Budget:
We applaud Governor Ron DeSantis, the House, and Senate for their commitment to affordable housing and are grateful for funding statewide housing needs including funds to assist the families devasted by Hurricane Michael. In the wake of 2004 and 2005 hurricanes, we saw similar programs assist the urgent housing needs of Floridians who were impacted by the storms.
Florida Housing works every day to help Florida families obtain housing options that are affordable to them. With the resources that are entrusted to us, Florida Housing will continue to provide assistance to respond to Florida’s growing and diverse needs.
Florida Housing was created by the Legislature more than 35 years ago. We are the state’s housing finance agency (HFA) that administers state and federal resources to help provide affordable homeownership and rental housing options for the citizens of Florida.
