Background of Item:
In July 1992, the State of Florida enacted the William E. 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.
On July 24, 2025, pursuant to Resolution No. 25-0290 the Miami City Commission
approved the City's LHAP, for the period of July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028.
There is a need to amend the LHAP to include changes to the Single Family Emergency
program, and the Single Family Rehabilitation program, as reflected in the LHAP,
attached and incorporated, to remove the require of the repayment of the loan in the
event of the death of the original borrower.
To incorporate these changes in the LHAP an amendment needs to be approved by the
Miami City Commission and later sent to Florida Housing Finance Corporation for
review and final approval.
The City's Administration recommends the amendment of the City of Miami ("City")
Local Housing Assistance Plan ("LHAP") policies, attached, and incorporated, for FY
2025-2028, to modify to the Single -Family Emergency program, and the Single -Family
Rehabilitation program, respectively.
