What government grants are available for real estate investors in Tampa?

Tampa investors can access federal programs like LIHTC tax credits (allocated through Florida Housing Finance Corporation), Opportunity Zone capital gains incentives (18 designated tracts), HUD HOME and CDBG grants through local government, and Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers through Tampa Housing Authority. Local programs also include Tampa CRA Incentive Programs and Florida SAIL Program.

How do LIHTC tax credits work in Florida?

LIHTC credits in Florida are allocated by Florida Housing Finance Corporation. The program provides dollar-for-dollar tax credits over a 10-year period for developing or rehabilitating affordable rental housing. Both 9% competitive credits and 4% non-competitive credits (paired with tax-exempt bonds) are available. Contact Florida Housing Finance Corporation for the current Qualified Allocation Plan and application deadlines.

How many Opportunity Zones are in Tampa?

Tampa has 18 designated tracts. By investing capital gains into a Qualified Opportunity Fund targeting these zones, you can defer taxes on the original gain and potentially eliminate taxes on new appreciation if held for 10+ years. These zones often overlap with areas eligible for other incentives like LIHTC and CDBG funds.

What is the Section 8 payment standard in Tampa?

The estimated 2-bedroom Section 8 payment standard in Tampa is approximately $1,592/month. This is based on HUD Fair Market Rent and your local PHA (Tampa Housing Authority) may set standards between 90-110% of the published FMR. Contact them directly for current rates.

Can I combine government programs with private financing in Tampa?

Absolutely. Most affordable housing projects in Tampa use layered financing — combining LIHTC credits, federal grants (HOME, CDBG), local incentives, and private financing. FundNow Capital specializes in DSCR loans, bridge loans, and portfolio financing that complement government programs.
