(1) Administer the Application process, determine bond allocation amounts and implement the provisions of the Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bond (MMRB) Program authorized by Section 142 of the IRC and Section 420.509, F.S.; and

(2) Administer the Application process, determine Non-Competitive Housing Credit amounts, and implement the provisions of the Housing Credit (HC) Program authorized by Section 42 of the IRC and Section 420.5099, F.S.

The intent of this Rule Chapter is to encourage public-private partnerships to invest in residential housing; to stimulate the construction and rehabilitation of residential housing which in turn will stimulate the job market in the construction and related industries; and to increase and improve the supply of affordable housing in the State of Florida.

SUMMARY:

Prior to the opening of an Application process, the Corporation (1) researches the market need for affordable housing throughout the state of Florida and (2) evaluates prior Applications to determine what changes or additions should be added to the Rule and/or Application, and the Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP). The proposed amendments to the Rule and adopted reference material include changes that will create a formulated process for selecting Developments that will apply for Non-Competitive Housing Credits, or a combination of MMRB and Non-Competitive Housing Credits.
