Sadowski Affordable Housing Act ("Sadowski Act"), which provides for the allocation of a portion of new and existing documentary stamp taxes on deeds on real estate transactions to local governments for the development and maintenance of affordable housing. The Sadowski Act provided a dedicated revenue source for affordable housing and created the State Housing Initiative Partnership ("SHIP") Program. Pursuant to Section 420.9072(2)a of Florida Statute, a county or eligible municipality must submit to the corporation its local housing assistance plan describing the local housing assistance strategies to be eligible to receive funds under the program. The City's current LHAP will expire on June 30, 2010. The Administration is recommending approving the City of Miami LHAP, attached and incorporated, for the period of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2013.
