Welcome to the newly developed Special Needs Website of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation. This website is intended to serve as a comprehensive clearinghouse and portal of information about Florida Housing’s affordable housing funding programs resources that serve persons and households with special needs.

 

Special needs households include persons that are elderly, physically disabled, at risk of being or are homeless, and/or have extremely low incomes. These special needs populations may include more specifically defined subgroups such as youth aging out of foster care, survivors of domestic violence, persons with severe and persistent mental illness, farmworkers or persons with developmental disabilities.

 

Getting Started

The Special Needs Website is organized into the subsections using menu links on the left side of this page.  This website also features a variety of links that will sometimes open new windows or websites.  For your browsing convenience, no links will take you out of this site.  Should you choose a link to another website or document this website will remain open, displaying the new website or link in a new browser window.  To return to this screen at any time, simply select HOME from the left menu.
