HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
In 2008, City Council adopted, by Resolution No. 37-08, the Affordable Housing Incentive Plan. Florida Statutes Section 420.9076 requires the AHAC to evaluate the implementation of the Affordable Housing Incentive Plan and submit a report to the local governing body to include recommendations on the implementation of the incentives in specific identified areas. The AHAC met and reviewed the City and County incentive strategies and evaluated the implementation of the plans for both jurisdictions.
On Tuesday, November 1, 2022, the AHAC held a public hearing and voted to recommend to City Council and the Board of County Commissioners, respectively, the approval of the 2022 Affordable Housing Incentive Plan Review reports. Completion of this review process and adoption by the local jurisdictions is a requirement for the City and Escambia County to continue to receive State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program funds from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation.
The City and Escambia County jointly administer the SHIP program through an Interlocal Agreement; therefore, the reports require approval by both jurisdictions.
