Gov. Ron DeSantis’ affordable housing director has been suspended pending the outcome of an inspector general investigation, leaving the Florida agency leaderless as it prepares to assign hundreds of millions of dollars.
Mike DiNapoli, executive director of the Florida Housing Finance Corp., was placed on administrative leave last month, according to interviews the Times/Herald had with current and former state employees. The move comes less than six months after DeSantis chose DiNapoli to lead the organization.
A spokesperson for the corporation has not responded to multiple requests for comment, including the reasons for the suspension. The Times/Herald requested DiNapoli’s suspension letter, but the corporation has not released it.
DiNapoli did not respond to text messages and calls seeking comment. The suspension was first reported by the USA Today Network.
