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 Florida State Housing Initiative Partnership Program. Pursuant to Resolution No. 13-0288, adopted July, 25 2013, the Miami City Commission approved the City's LHAP for the period of July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016, allowing the City's continued participation in the Florida SHIP Program. On May 7, 2014, the City was notified by Florida Housing Finance Corporation a distribution of SHIP funds in the total amount of $1,213,631 for State Fiscal Year 2014-2015. This represents the largest allocation amount the City has received in the last 4 years. In 2013-2014, the City received $572,606 and in 2012-2013, the City received only $100,743. The Administration recommends the acceptance of SHIP funds, in the total amount of $1,213,631 for Fiscal Year 2014-2015, for the strategies under the current SHIP LHAP.
