Foreclosure Prevention strategy: - Rename strategy to "Foreclosure Assistance" as it is more appropriate terminology for the service provided. - Recapture terms: replace "Appraised value" with "Assessed value" - Recapture terms: provide more detailed foreclosure recapture provision and provide priority funding to prior SHIP recipients. Based on the recommendations made in the 2008 AHAC Report, which was approved by City Commission on December 2, 2008, staff recommends the LHAP Incentive Strategies be amended as follows (p.17-19): 1. Strategy A: Amended to include additional language regarding expedited site plan review and permitting process for affordable housing sub-divisions/developments (10 or more affordable units). 2.
