Florida’s affordability gap continues to expand with the price of housing growing at a faster rate than incomes. At the same time, the cost to produce housing continues to rise and expiring affordability periods for most funding sources leads to the potential loss of affordable units that will be more difficult to replace. Community land trusts, ground lease programs and shared equity models are tools to preserve investments and create a permanent stock of affordable housing.
The Florida Housing Coalition’s Permanent Affordability programs and services support planning, strategy design and implementation and advocacy efforts to establish affordable housing as a permanent community asset primarily though the removal of land from the speculative market. Concurrently, we work with local governments, nonprofit organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure that housing built on that land remains economically viable and accessible for the long term.
Our expertise in action
- Florida CLT Institute Training and Certification Program: We believe in the power of Community Land Trusts (CLTs) as a cornerstone of preserving affordability. Through our Basic Individual Training and our CLT organizational technical assistance and incubation, we guide stakeholders to achieve individual professional and organizational CLT certification, effectively empowering them to become stewards of community-driven, enduring housing solutions.
- CLT Startup for Nonprofits: For nonprofits seeking to embark on the impactful journey of CLT initiatives, we offer comprehensive support and guidance from inception to implementation, ensuring a solid foundation for lasting affordability.
- Permanent Affordability Program Design for Local Governments: Tailoring solutions to grow the inventory of permanently affordable housing units while meeting the unique needs of local governments is our specialty. We collaborate to design Permanent Affordability Programs that stand as a community pillar and a model.
- Preservation Plans: Every community has its unique story, and our Preservation Plans are the narrative thread that weaves through time, ensuring the ongoing vitality of affordable housing units.
- Compliance Monitoring Plans: To safeguard affordability standards, we meticulously craft informed Compliance Monitoring Plans, creating a framework that ensures continued, long term adherence.
- Land Acquisition and Disposition Plans: Securing the foundation for tomorrows affordability, our land acquisition and disposition planning services endeavor to support establishment of local policy that navigates the complexities of strategically acquiring and disposing of publicly and institutionally owned land, converting it into livable and resilient housing initiatives that are affordable into the distant future.

Join us in the pursuit to impact Florida to the benefit of our future generations. Together, let us preserve housing and weave a tapestry of enduring communities across Florida, that centers around a legacy of affordability for generations to come.
