| 7 | 420.9072 State Housing Initiatives Partnership |
| 8 | Program.--The State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program is |
| 9 | created for the purpose of providing funds to counties and |
| 10 | eligible municipalities as an incentive for the creation of |
| 11 | local housing partnerships, to expand production of and preserve |
| 12 | affordable housing, to further the housing element of the local |
| 13 | government comprehensive plan specific to affordable housing, |
| 14 | and to increase housing-related employment. |
| 15 | (2)(a) To be eligible to receive funds under the program, |
| 16 | a county or eligible municipality must: |
| 17 | 1. Submit to the corporation its local housing assistance |
| 18 | plan describing the local housing assistance strategies |
| 19 | established pursuant to s. 420.9075; |
| 20 | 2. Within 12 months after adopting the local housing |
| 21 | assistance plan, amend the plan to incorporate the local housing |
| 22 | incentive strategies defined in s. 420.9071(16) and described in |
| 23 | s. 420.9076; and |
| 24 | 3. Within 24 months after adopting the amended local |
| 25 | housing assistance plan to incorporate the local housing |
| 26 | incentive strategies, amend its land development regulations or |
| 27 | establish local policies and procedures, as necessary, to |
| 28 | implement the local housing incentive strategies adopted by the |
| 29 | local governing body. A county or an eligible municipality that |
| 30 | has adopted a housing incentive strategy pursuant to s. 420.9076 |
| 31 | before the effective date of this act shall review the status of |
| 32 | implementation of the plan according to its adopted schedule for |
| 33 | implementation and report its findings in the annual report |
| 34 | required by s. 420.9075(10). If, as a result of the review, a |
| 35 | county or an eligible municipality determines that the |
| 36 | implementation is complete and in accordance with its schedule, |
| 37 | no further action is necessary. If a county or an eligible |
| 38 | municipality determines that implementation according to its |
| 39 | schedule is not complete, it must amend its land development |
| 40 | regulations or establish local policies and procedures, as |
| 41 | necessary, to implement the housing incentive plan within 12 |
| 42 | months after the effective date of this act, or if extenuating |
| 43 | circumstances prevent implementation within 12 months, pursuant |
| 44 | to s. 420.9075(13), enter into an extension agreement with the |
| 45 | corporation; and |
| 46 | 4. Institute financial literacy education and mandatory |
| 47 | first-time homebuyer programs for eligible persons. |
