Millions in new federal housing funds are now available to struggling Florida homeowners.
Florida has been appropriated $676 million as part of the Homeowner Assistance Fund, which was created last year through the American Rescue Plan.
The funds are being administered through Florida's Department of Economic Opportunity (FDEO) and aim to prevent the loss of 20,000 homes to foreclosure.
If approved, applicants can use the funds for mortgage payments, utility bills and even home insurance premiums.
