BACKGROUND (Why is this Action Necessary, and What Action will be accomplished)
body
Background:
Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) requires certification by the BCC of SHIP Annual Reports of expenditures and encumbrances within 90 days of the expenditure deadline. This Annual Report includes both SHIP and HHR funding for program years 2023 and 2024. The expenditure deadline for SHIP FY23 funding was June 30, 2025. All SHIP FY23 funds were expended by the deadline. HHR FY23 (Hurricane Ian) has an extended expenditure deadline of June 30, 2026, and is encumbered, largely for affordable rental housing rehab and construction. An HHR FY23 Interim Annual Report is also required. SHIP FY24 and HHR FY24 (Hurricane Idalia) funds are encumbered.
SHIP FY23 expenditures have been reconciled with Budget and Administrative Services – Fiscal. HHR FY23, SHIP FY24, and HHR FY24 expenditures are pending fulfillment by the June 2026 deadline, unless extension is warranted. The Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) approved the report and recommended BCC certification at its August 20, 2025, regular meeting.
Provided are the SHIP FY23 Close-out and HHR FY23 Interim Annual Report and the Certification form for Chairman signature.
