HOUSING CONFERENCE
Save the Date - Florida Housing Coalition's 25th Annual Conference: The Statewide Training and Technical Assistance Event will be September 10-12, 2012, in Orlando at the Rosen Creek Hotel.
Two-Day Small Scale Rental Development Workshop February 28 and March 6
Holiday Inn Miami Doral Area, Miami
Over 70 percent of the United States’ affordable housing stock consists of small scale rental properties. In Florida alone there are approximately 400,000 units in multi-family developments containing 9 units or less, with the average age of this stock being 40 years old. Until recently, most of the rental development activities in Florida focused on single family homeownership and large tax credit funded new construction. The housing bust, combined with the creation of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program has created opportunities for nonprofit developers to acquire and rehab some of these smaller developments. But this business line is not without its challenges. Click here for more details and to register for this free, two-day workshop in Miami.
