Chris Ferguson, Ph.D., professor of psychology, was interviewed for a story that aired multiple times on Spectrum News 13 in Orlando and appeared on its Facebook page Aug. 27, entitled "Gamer reacts to deadly Jacksonville shooting." Ferguson said no data can tie together video games and mass shootings. "It's unfortunate that this particular shooting happened at a video game competition, but there's no really nothing particularly crucial, that it happened to be a video game competition that makes it any different from all the other shootings in schools, churches or other places," he said. Stetson's Carlton Union Building was featured in The Daytona Beach News-Journal on Aug. 29 in the story, "Inside Stetson's new and improved $32 million student center."

    FLORIDA HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION Board Meeting January 23, 2020 Information Items FISCAL Information I. FISCAL A. Operating Budget Analysis for November 30, 2019. 1. Background/Present Situation a) The Financial Analysis for November 30, 2019, is attached as Exhibit A. b) The Operating Budget for the period ending November 30, 2019, is attached as Exhibit B. January 23, 2020 Florida Housing Finance Corporation 2 GUARANTEE PROGRAM Information II. GUARANTEE PROGRAM A. Status of the Guarantee Program portfolio 1. Background/Present Situation a) Since the implementation of the Guarantee Program in 1993, 120 transactions facilitating the construction of over 28,000 housing units in Florida were guaranteed. In November 1994, the Guarantee Program entered into an agreement with HUD to participate in the Risk-Sharing Program; characterized by a 50/50 sharing of default risk in connection with the mortgage guarantee. As of 12/31/19, one (1) multifamily development remains in the Guarantee Program portfolio. b) Between November 2008 and April 2010, eight (8) multifamily claims were filed on the Guarantee Program portfolio, representing the total (and only) multifamily claims incurred in its 24-year history. The Guarantee Program experienced a strong 87% foreclosure recovery rate, compared to the 64% national average at that time.1 Currently, there are no foreclosures in inventory and no developments in monetary default in the portfolio. B. Corpus and Portfolio Risk Exposure 1. Background/Present Situation a) The global liquidity crisis of 2008 collapsed the market for the variable rate bonds capitalizing the Guarantee Program corpus, ultimately leading staff to restructure the debt, paying off approximately $89 million and refinancing the remaining $156.2 million in variable rate bonds to a 5-year term loan with Citibank, closing on December 31, 2009.
