BOCC AGENDA ITEM


Item Title:Amend Resolution 2022-106 Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP)
Date:9/26/2022
Department:OMB/SHIP
Background:
At the Essential Housing Advisory Committee (EHAC) meeting on July 27, 2022, the committee recommended to increase the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Rehabilitation Award from $85,000 to $125,000 due the rising cost of materials and labor in Nassau County.  The increase in rehabilitation is economically feasible with the funds provided to the County from the State of Florida Housing.  This recommendation will assist the County in meeting the requirements of the SHIP Program and has created a need for a technical revision to the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP).
Request:
Approve a Resolution revising the Local Housing Assistance Plans (LHAP) for Fiscal Years 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 to increase the rehabilitation maximum award from $85,000 to $125,000 and allow staff to submit to Florida Housing for review and approval.
Financial/Economic Impact to Future Years Budgeting Process or Effect on Citizens:
SHIP Rehabilitation assists low income homeowners in repairing their home to meet code violations and prevents the home from being deemed uninhabitable.
Action Requested and Recommendation:
Approve a Resolution revising the Local Housing Assistance Plans (LHAP) for Fiscal Years 2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024 to increase the rehabilitation maximum award from $85,000 to $125,000 and allow staff to submit to Florida Housing for review and approval.
