SPECIFIC REASONS FOR FINDING AN IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE:

Florida experienced the destructive impact of four hurricanes in 2004. The hurricanes created both short-term and long-term housing needs for Floridians. To implement the February 2005 recommendations of the Governor’s Hurricane Housing Work Group, the Hurricane Housing Recovery program, hereafter referred to as the HHR program, is created for the purpose of providing funds to assist those areas of the state with the greatest housing damage from the hurricanes suffered by the State of Florida during 2004. Program funding is provided for eligible entities to implement a hurricane housing recovery assistance plan that may include grants and loans for homeownership and rental activities, including activities related to manufactured housing.

REASON FOR CONCLUDING THAT THE PROCEDURE IS FAIR UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES:

The Corporation has been granted emergency rulemaking authority under Chapter Law 2005-92, formerly House Bill 1889, “Distributibution of Proceeds from the Excise Tax on Documents.” The HHR rules shall be effective immediately upon filing with the Florida Department of State and shall be valid for a period of 180 days.

SUMMARY:

The rule provides the strategy by which HHR program funds shall be utilized by eligible entities for affordable housing recovery efforts.   Rules incorporated below replace Emergency Rules 67ER05-1 through 7 which will expire December 27, 2005.

THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE EMERGENCY RULE IS:
