SUMMARY:
The Sadowski Affordable Housing Act, as approved by the Legislature in 1992, was designed to provide a continuous funding source for the construction, rehabilitation, and/or preservation of affordable housing in Florida. The funds have been made available to each of the 67 counties and most municipalities in the State through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). With approval of the City Council and Board of County Commissioners, the City of Pensacola and Escambia County have jointly received funding and successfully administered the SHIP Program since 1993.
The funds are used to support housing strategies identified in the Local Housing Assistance Plan which is mutually adopted by both jurisdictions. The terms of the agreement shall run concurrent with the distribution of SHIP program funds which are allocated jointly to both jurisdictions and shall continue for the duration of the 2022-2025 Local Housing Assistance Plan.
The SHIP program activities shall be cooperatively implemented by the City through its, Housing Department, and by the County, through its Neighborhood Enterprise Division. Both jurisdictions cooperatively develop program strategies, policies, and procedures required to implement the program.
