       Senator Deutch moved the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with directory and title amendments)
    2  
    3         Between lines 231 and 232
    4  insert:
    5         (f)1. A housing element consisting of standards, plans, and
    6  principles to be followed in:
    7         a. The provision of housing for all current and anticipated
    8  future residents of the jurisdiction.
    9         b. The elimination of substandard dwelling conditions.
   10         c. The structural and aesthetic improvement of existing
   11  housing.
   12         d. The provision of adequate sites for future housing,
   13  including affordable workforce housing as defined in s.
   14  380.0651(3)(j), housing for low-income, very low-income, and
   15  moderate-income families, mobile homes, affordable housing for
   16  seniors, and group home facilities and foster care facilities,
   17  with supporting infrastructure and public facilities. Real
   18  property that is conveyed to a local government for affordable
   19  housing under this sub-subparagraph shall be disposed of by the
   20  local government pursuant to s. 125.379 or s. 166.0451.
   21         e. Provision for relocation housing and identification of
   22  historically significant and other housing for purposes of
   23  conservation, rehabilitation, or replacement.
   24         f. The formulation of housing implementation programs.
   25         g. The creation or preservation of affordable housing to
   26  minimize the need for additional local services and avoid the
   27  concentration of affordable housing units only in specific areas
   28  of the jurisdiction.
   29         h. Energy efficiency in the design and construction of new
   30  housing.
   31         i. Use of renewable energy resources.
   32         j. Each county in which the gap between the buying power of
   33  a family of four and the median county home sale price exceeds
   34  $170,000, as determined by the Florida Housing Finance
   35  Corporation, and which is not designated as an area of critical
   36  state concern shall adopt a plan for ensuring affordable
   37  workforce housing. At a minimum, the plan shall identify
   38  adequate sites for such housing. For purposes of this sub
   39  subparagraph, the term “workforce housing” means housing that is
   40  affordable to natural persons or families whose total household
   41  income does not exceed 140 percent of the area median income,
   42  adjusted for household size.
   43         k. As a precondition to receiving any state affordable
   44  housing funding or allocation for any project or program within
   45  the jurisdiction of a county that is subject to sub-subparagraph
   46  j., a county must, by July 1 of each year, provide certification
   47  that the county has complied with the requirements of sub
   48  subparagraph j.
   49  
   50  The goals, objectives, and policies of the housing element must
   51  be based on the data and analysis prepared on housing needs,
   52  including the affordable housing needs assessment. State and
   53  federal housing plans prepared on behalf of the local government
   54  must be consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of
   55  the housing element. Local governments are encouraged to use job
   56  training, job creation, and economic solutions to address a
   57  portion of their affordable housing concerns.
   58         2. To assist local governments in housing data collection
   59  and analysis and assure uniform and consistent information
   60  regarding the state’s housing needs, the state land planning
   61  agency shall conduct an affordable housing needs assessment for
   62  all local jurisdictions on a schedule that coordinates the
   63  implementation of the needs assessment with the evaluation and
   64  appraisal reports required by s. 163.3191. Each local government
   65  shall utilize the data and analysis from the needs assessment as
   66  one basis for the housing element of its local comprehensive
   67  plan. The agency shall allow a local government the option to
   68  perform its own needs assessment, if it uses the methodology
   69  established by the agency by rule.
