Innovating Housing Solutions, Inspiring Change

Ending Homelessness Is Within Reach

Solving homelessness requires collective vision, system transformation, and authentic partnerships. Find equitable solutions for your community with Florida Housing Coalition resources. Our commitment to evidence-based practices and actionable guidance provide you with the support you need to make ending homelessness in your community a reality.

Setting You Up For Success

Whether your community needs guidance on new funding opportunities, land use planning, consultation on fair housing, help conducting housing forums, or developing your housing action plans — our team has been assisting local governments build out their housing infrastructure since 1982.

Innovative Practices

We work closely with cities and counties to design and implement land use tools that can significantly increase the supply and preservation of affordable housing. Innovative land use tools such as Community Land Trusts, regulatory incentives, inclusionary zoning, and surplus land policies can be the key to unlocking a future rich in affordable housing. Many local communities realize that restrictive zoning and outdated land-use regulations can not only deter housing supply from being built, but it can drive up housing costs, and in some cases, widen existing racial and economic disparities. Leveraging strategic zoning reforms and easing building (and parking!) restrictions can encourage significant increases in housing supply.

Custom Tailored Solutions

Each community in Florida is unique – your housing solutions need to be custom tailored to your needs. Whether that is stakeholder engagement, drafting ordinances and policies, project specific assistance, or building capacity of the nonprofit sector to carry out mission-based work, we will help you to implement solutions to your housing deficit. And if you are not sure about what you need, the Coalition will help you with jurisdictional level data and best practices to determine what the optimal tools are to meet your needs.

Examining Issues, Offering Guidance

ThisOur research team publishes White Papers on a variety of topics, especially those we consider critical for Florida’s housing supply. One example is the White Paper on using ARPA funds for housing and another is the importance of removing land from the speculative market to maintain affordability in perpetuity.
