Relief for Homeowners and Renters in Miami-Dade & Broward County

We wanted to share with our friends, family & customers that Miami Dade & Broward Counties will both receive $7,500,000 in housing aid for both homeowners and renters.

The Fla. Housing Finance Corp. will send the first round of federal funds for coronavirus-related housing relief to individual counties and cities for distribution. Altogether, $120M will go to renters and homeowners hurt by the pandemic “through no fault of their own.”

“As Floridians continue to struggle with the negative economic impacts of COVID-19, (FHFC) remains committed to providing renters and homeowners with housing assistance,” says Trey Price, executive director of FHFC. “We are proud to stand with the governor to ensure affordable housing remains a top priority, and that families have the necessary assistance to remain in their homes during these difficult times.”

Homeowners and renters can apply for the following assistance through a local State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program housing office:

  • Rental and mortgage assistance payments for persons who experienced a hardship

  • Emergency repair

  • Rehabilitation and new construction-related specifically to a need caused by COVID-19
