There may be hope yet for Floridians trying to find affordable housing. President Biden’s administration proposed a budget for fiscal year 2025 that includes $258 billion in housing investments, including an expansion in rental assistance for low-income families.

“That is providing funds to do everything from helping homeless veterans find a home of their own all the way to helping first-time homeowners get access to their first unit. The entire housing ecosystem,” she said.

“And in Florida, HUD, only HUD, we provided $251 million to help build homes and provide rental assistance in the state of Florida,” said Deputy Secretary Todman.
