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 provides a dedicated revenue source for affordable housing and created the Florida State Housing Initiatives Partnership ("SHIP") Program. Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-0204, adopted April 12, 2007, the City of Miami ("City") Local Housing Assistance Plan was approved for the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010, allowing the City's continued participation in the SHIP Program. It is projected that the SHIP funding to the City for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 will be in the amount of $2,216,228. The Administration recommends the acceptance of SHIP funds, in the total amount of $2,216,228, for Fiscal Year 2008-2009, and the allocation of said funds in the amount of $1,994,605 for housing activities, including, but not limited to, the Single Family Rehabilitation, Single Family Replacement Homes, Homebuyers Financing and Homeownership Development Programs, for the implementation of the Local Housing Assistance Plan, and in the amount of $221,623 for program administration.
