REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about October 30, 2026 the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) will submit a request to the Florida Department of Commerce for the release of Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funds, pursuant to 24 CFR Part 58, under Title I of the Housing and Community Development (HCD) Act of 1974, as amended and Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, to undertake a project known as Largo Station located at 605 Twinberry Lane, Largo, Pinellas County FL 33771. The project, located in an area designated for Hurricane Ian, involves the construction of three Mid-Rise (5-6 Stories) residential buildings consisting of 168 multifamily residential rental units including 17 one-bedroom/one-bathroom, 123 two-bedroom/two-bathroom, and 28 three-bedroom/two-bathroom units, demographic family and persons with special needs. The Largo Station units and common areas will fully comply with all accessibility codes including ADA, UFAS, Section 504 and Fair Housing standards. The residential building will provide a leasing office and will also feature a host of resident amenities, at no cost, including a community meeting room, a computer lab, Wi-Fi connections, a playground, a library, luscious landscaping, and a sport court/shuffleboard. Southport, the developer, is committing to an affordability period for Largo Station that extends to perpetuity (99 years) and ensuring this community will remain available for the low-income residents of Pinellas County for years to come. One-Hundred percent (100%) of the units will be set aside for future residents at or below 60% of the Area Median Income). The approximate construction cost of $54,819,292 is to be funded with a Local HFA Note in the amount of $15,290,000; a regulated mortgage in the amount of $15,400,000; up to $10,000,000 in CDBG-DR funds; Non-Competitive Housing Credits (4% HC) in the amount of $11,715,891; and $2,413,401 in deferred fees/costs. The environmental review, conducted under 24 CFR Part 58, encompasses the entire project.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The FHFC has determined that Largo Station project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at FHFC, 227 North Bronough Street, Suite 5000, Tallahassee, FL 32301-1329, and may be examined or copied weekdays 9:00AM to 4:00PM.
