Florida Housing Hardest-Hit Fund (HHF) Update

Florida Housing Hardest-Hit Fund (HHF) Update

Florida Housing expects to move forward with the statewide implementation of the Florida Hardest-Hit Fund Program in mid-April, pending approval from US Treasury. Troubled homeowners in all 67 counties who want to apply for HHF assistance will be able to do so via this website. We will announce the exact date approximately two weeks prior to statewide rollout.

The pilot in Lee County concluded at 5:00 p.m. on March 18; however, Lee County homeowners who have not previously applied for HHF funding may do so when the process opens statewide next month.

IMPORTANT ALERT

Please be reminded that the single point of entry for the HHF program is the OFFICIAL Florida Hardest-Hit Fund website at www.FLHardestHitHelp.org. Florida Housing has identified several “imposter” and “copycat” websites posing as HHF application sites. Once the application process opens, we strongly encourage applicants to verify that the website they are using is, in fact, the official Florida HHF website BEFORE providing personal information. If applicants are suspicious about a website, they should contact the HHF Information Line toll-free at 1-(877) 863-5244 to verify the website address. Application for the Florida’s Hardest-Hit Fund program is FREE-OF-CHARGE and applicants will not be asked to pay for any eligibility determination services in conjunction with applying for the Florida HHF program.
