Background:
The Alachua County Housing Programs uses SHIP funds to support strategies that provide affordable housing programs (including Home Repair, First Time Home Buyer Down Payment Assistance, and others) for low-income residents. The State of Florida requires local jurisdictions that receive State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program funds to form an AHAC. The Alachua County Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) consists of residents of Alachua County appointed by the Board of County Commissioners (“BoCC”).
Annually, the AHAC drafts an Incentives and Recommendations Report (IRR) that examines the regulations, fees, policies, and procedures that affects the development and related costs of affordable housing in Alachua County. AHAC held public meeting(s) to solicit citizen input in drafting the Incentives and Recommendations Report (IRR). Additional public input sought via mail to real estate agents and licensed contractors in Alachua County. This IRR being presented to the BoCC was approved by the AHAC at a public meeting.
