The FloridaHousingSearch.org website was launched in June of 2006, and is sponsored by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation . The website was developed with support from a number of nonprofit and government organizations in Florida.

This service currently provides detailed information on affordable rental housing that has been financed by Florida Housing Finance Corporation and/or counties choosing to particpate in the service. Our goal is to make this locator service the primary source for affordable rental housing in Florida. Over time, we hope this service will grow to include all subsidized and affordable rental housing throughout the state of Florida. The site currently allows for the listing of affordable rentals in:

• Florida Housing funded developments in all counties
• Hillsborough County
• Dade County
• Pinellas County
• Sarasota County

The housing locator service allows people to locate available housing that best fits their individual and family needs. The service can be accessed online 24 hours a day and is supported by a toll-free, bilingual call center M-F, 9-6 EST. Individuals can easily search for housing using a wide variety of search criteria with special mapping features and receive apartment listings that provide a multitude of important information about each unit. In addition, the site connects people to other housing resources through website links and provides helpful tools for renters such as an affordability calculator, rental checklist, and renter rights and responsibilities information.

The site uses software created by Socialserve.com, a national non-profit provider of housing locator services. Socialserve.com is responsible for maintaining the site and providing toll-free call center support. For additional information, contact Socialserve.com at 1-877-428-8844 or info@socialserve.com.
