Housing Advocacy Group Applauds Likely End To Affordable Housing Sweeps

Panama City officials tour one of the city s new steel panel homes in Glenwood on Friday, Nov. 13, 2020. State lawmakers this year permanently slashed the affordable housing trust fund s revenue share, while also passing a guarantee that housing dollars would never again pay for other expenses. “It’s going to be recurring revenue not subject to sweep,” said Jaimie Ross, director of the Florida Housing Coalition, which has advocated for an end to lawmakers’ tradition of diverting dollars away from state and local affordable housing trust funds. “And that actually is a very big win for housing.” Still, the amount the legislature allocated to housing programs - $209 million - has some advocates displeased. That’s because they’d originally asked for twice that amount. Gov. Ron DeSantis’s proposed budget included $423 million to fully fund the state’s affordable housing needs.
