Welcome
to Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s Green Building homepage. We
have established this webpage to provide information and resources on green
building to the affordable housing development community.
Professionals
in virtually every industry are talking about going green. “Green” is a term
used to describe environmentally sustainable and healthy practices, on both a
large-scale societal level, and a personal level. Green building involves the
elements of home construction and design that have a minimal impact on the
environment and promote the health of residents. In addition to environmental
sustainability, resource preservation, and health benefits, green building can
also be cost-effective for residents, property managers, and developers.
Florida
Housing incentivizes the inclusion of green building features in affordable
homeowner and rental homes financed by most of our programs. To find out more
