Re: Amendment to Local LHAP/ Addition of "Essential Services Personnel" defInition
ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION
City Commission authorization and approval of an amendment to the City's State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program, Local Housing Assistance Plan for Fiscal Years
2004-2007 by adopting Resolution #1-07 pursuant to Title 67-37 of the Florida
Administrative Code. This resolution shall add the definition of "Essential Services
Personnel" to the City's Local Housing Assistance Plan.
BACKGROUND
The Community Improvement Department receives funds under the State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program for the development and maintenance of affordable
housing. SHIP funds are generated from a portion of documentary stamp taxes collected
throughout the State and held in the State's Housing Trust Fund. The State requires a
Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) outlining how the City plans to administer the
SHIP funds once they are received. On February 23, 1993, under Ordinance #2-93, the
City Commission established a Local Housing Assistance Program, created the Local
Housing Trust Fund and created the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee to comply
with various sections of Title 67 of the Administrative Code of Florida. Community
Development Division staff has administered the program and under the approved Plans
have assisted Delray Beach residents with homeownership and housing -rehabilitation
opportunities. The current Plan (2004-2007) was adopted by Resolution #31-04 on April
13, 2004 and amended per Resolution #66-05 on September 6, 2005 and again per
Resolution #49-06 on July 26, 2006.
Pursuant to Section 420.907 5(3) (a), FS each county and municipality eligible for the
Community Workforce Housing Innovation Pilot Program (CWHIP) funding shall define
the term "Essential Services Personnel" within its respective LHAP. For the purposes of
CWHIP, "Essential Services Personnel" must meet the income requirements set forth in
the definition of Workforce Housing. Resolution #1-07 shall add the definition of
"Essential Services Personnel" to the City's Local Housing Assistance Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the definition of "Essential Services Personnel" and the
amended 2004-2007 Local Housing Assistance Plan by adoption of Resolution #1-07.
