MEMORANDUM
TO: David Harden, City Manager
FROM: Lula Butler, Community Improvement Director tb
THRU: Kendra W. Graham, Community Development Administrator
DATE: January 12,2006
SUBJECT: Approval of Resolution #6-06 amending State Housing Initiatives
Partnership (SHIP) Hurricane Housing Assistance Plan for Fiscal Years
2005/2006,2006/2007, and 2007/2008
ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION
City Commission authorization and approval of and amendment to the City's State Housing Initiatives
Partnership (SHIP) Program, Hurricane Housing Assistance Plan for Fiscal Years 2005-2008 by adopting
Resolution #6-06 pursuant to Title 67-37 of the Florida Administrative Code.
BACKGROUND
Florida experienced the destructive impact of four hurricanes in 2004. The hurricanes created both short-
term and long-term housing needs for Floridians. To implement the February 2005 recommendations of
the Governor's Hurricane Housing Work Group, the Hurricane Housing Recovery program (HHR) was
created for the purpose of providing funds to assist those areas of the state with the greatest housing
damage from the hurricane. The Florida Legislature appropriated one-time hurricane housing recovery
funds which are available through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program administered
by the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC).
The Palm Beach County Housing and Community Development Department received a base allocation of
$6,401,838 with $1,000,000 set aside for the City of Delray Beach. Staff has collaborated with the
Community Redevelopment Agency and the Delray Beach Housing Authority to develop strategies and to
leverage dollars and resources to identify projects that will best serve the housing needs of the very low-,
low- and moderate-income households in the City of Delray Beach. The Disaster Relief strategy allows
for the payment of insurance deductibles and payment for non-insured repairs. Due to the increasing cost
of construction materials staff is recommending that the 2005-2008 Hurricane Housing Assistance Plan
be amended to allow for the maximum award for disaster relief assistance to be increased to $15,000.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the amended Hurricane Housing Assistance Plan for Fiscal Years
2005/2006, 2006/2007 and 2007/2008 by adoption of Resolution #6-06.
