Florida Housing was created by the Florida Legislature over 20 years to help our fellow Floridians obtain safe, decent housing that might otherwise be unavailable to them. Florida Housing's Board of Directors and staff are continuing to work to increase affordable housing opportunities for Floridians, ensure that Florida Housing's programs are well matched to the housing needs of Floridians, and communicate the importance of affordable housing to Florida's communities.
