Agenda 05/27/2025 Item #16D 1 (Budget Amendment to allow continuous operation of the State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program)5/27/2025
Item # 16.D.1
ID# 2025-1383
Executive Summary
Recommendation to authorize a Budget Amendment to allow continuous operation of the State Housing Initiatives
Partnership Program with an anticipated award in the amount of $3,135,160 for State FY 2025/2026. (SHIP Grant Fund
1053)
OBJECTIVE: To support the County’s strategic initiative on quality of place for low- to moderate-income persons by
supporting housing affordability through the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program.
CONSIDERATIONS: The State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program, created by the passage of the 1992
William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act, provides funding to local communities to promote and advance
affordable housing initiatives. Funds are generated through documentary stamp tax on real estate transactions. Under the
SHIP Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) eligible strategies serve as a guideline for the use of all SHIP funds.
Collier County and the City of Naples receive funds from the State of Florida through the Florida Housing Finance
Corporation (FHFC) to undertake eligible strategies.
Historically, the Community and Human Services Division (CHS) receives the funding award from the FHFC during
June/July for the upcoming state fiscal year. To avoid disruption in services and ensure compliance with the grant
service agreement requirements, the upcoming funding has been estimated based on the amount approved during the
State FY 2025 legislative session.
Collier County is estimated to be awarded a total of $3,135,160 in SHIP funding. These funds will be used to implement
SHIP Program strategies outlined in the 2025/2028 LHAP that was approved by the Board of County Commissioners
(Board) on April 8, 2025 (Agenda Item #16.D.10) and have an expenditure deadline of June 30, 2030. When the final
award allocation is received, any necessary Budget Amendments needed to reflect an increase from the estimated
amount will be presented to the Board. Any decrease will be processed administratively.
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of the award amount:

FHFC does not require the Board Chairman to sign a document for the award. FHFC’s estimated award is attached as a
backup to this Item.
To support the County’s strategic initiative on quality of place by promoting housing affordability through the State
Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Budget Amendment recognizes an estimated grant revenue of $3,135,160 that will be available
from the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (of which ten percent (10%) will be used as administrative funds). All
funds will be available in the SHIP Grant Fund (1053), Project 33938. The proposed action does not have an impact on
the General Fund.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Acceptance of these funds will allow the County to expand affordable
housing opportunities for its citizens and further the goals of the Housing Element of the Collier County Growth
Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues and
requires a majority vote for Board approval. -JAK
