The Florida Housing Finance Corporation invites all qualified Public Housing Authorities to submit proposals for consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Request for Proposals (RFP) 2009-07. During the 2009 Legislative Session, Florida lawmakers appropriated $1,000,000 to be allocated to Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to serve as a match to the funds that they received through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. This funding, to be administered by Florida Housing, is to be used to address the rehabilitation needs of the aging public housing stock.

Proposals shall be accepted until 2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on Wednesday, December 2, 2009, to the Attention: Sherry Green, Contracts Administrator, Florida Housing Finance Corporation, 227 North Bronough Street, Suite 5000, Tallahassee, Florida 32301-1329.
