From The Editor
WHY? Because in this time of hyper-appreciation (see map on page 3), our state and local housing trust funds dedicated to providing affordable housing, have either been used for other purposes or simply not appropriated for any purpose. It is stunningly inexcusable. |
Florida can boast the best housing trust fund in the nation. But we are steadily and quickly losing ground in the fight for first-time home ownership, housing our essential first-responder workforce, and providing for our most vulnerable citizens.
