Affordable housing is a key driver in Florida's economic recovery.
LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP
The last edition of the Housing News Journal focused on the essential role that affordable housing plays in Florida’s economic recovery. Our two priority issues for the 2009 legislative session were repeal of the cap on the trust funds and appropriation of the housing trust fund monies for housing. The Florida Housing Coalition, the Sadowski Workforce Housing Coalition, and housing advocates around the state made the case that to accelerate economic recovery and avert the imminent increase in homelessness caused by the recession, we needed to restore the state and local housing trust funds.
