Compared to other states in the nation, Florida enjoys access to an incredible source of funding for housing: the Sadowski Local Housing Trust Fund. At the time of this report’s publication, the Florida Legislature was working to appropriate Housing Trust Funds for housing in Florida. At the same time, community leaders and residents across the state have called out for help in the face of soaring housing costs and a shrinking supply of housing that is affordable. In addition, the private market alone, which functions based on market dynamics and demand, cannot accommodate the housing needs of various workers, seniors, and people with disabilities. With an escalating demand for Florida's vibrant cities, the supply of new homes has been inadequate. This has led to inflated prices, making even modest homes unattainable and leading to the replacement of more affordable units with upscale alternatives. Consequently, numerous individuals, including low-wage workers and fixed-income earners, face difficulties in securing suitable and reasonably priced housing.

Compared to other states in the nation, Florida enjoys access to an incredible source of funding for housing: the Sadowski State and Local Government Housing Trust Funds. At the time of this report’s publication, the Florida Legislature is considering the appropriations for FY 2021-22, including whether to use all the Housing Trust Funds for housing in Florida. At the same time, community leaders and residents across the state are calling out for help in the face of soaring housing costs and a shrinking supply of housing that is affordable. The COVID-19 pandemic brought a dramatic increase in the cost of homeowner housing while tens of thousands of Floridians fell behind on their rent or mortgage payments. In addition, the private market alone, which functions based on market dynamics and demand, cannot accommodate the housing needs of various workers, seniors, and people with disabilities.

The state boasts abundant funding opportunities through the Sadowski State and Local Government Housing Trust Funds, which received a noteworthy allocation of over $362 million for affordable and workforce housing in the latest fiscal year—a 15-year high. Furthermore, the American Rescue Plan Act introduced the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF), offering local governments a rare chance to address the pressing affordable housing crisis. However, these positive strides are counterbalanced by soaring housing costs and a diminishing supply of affordable homes. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated homeowner housing expenses, while a significant number of Floridians struggled to meet rent and mortgage payments. Although the private market alone cannot accommodate the housing needs of various workers, seniors, and people with disabilities, it functions based on market dynamics and demand. With an escalating demand for Florida's vibrant cities, the supply of new homes has been inadequate since the Great Recession of 2008. This has led to inflated prices, making even modest homes unattainable for essential workers and leading to the replacement of more affordable units with upscale alternatives. Consequently, numerous individuals, including low-wage workers and fixed-income earners, face difficulties in securing suitable and reasonably priced housing. Addressing this market failure necessitates financial incentives that encourage private developers to invest in housing, fostering partnerships between lenders, real estate professionals, non-profit organizations, and governmental agencies.
