Funds are generated through documentary stamp tax on real estate transactions. Under the SHIP Program, Collier County and the City of Naples receive funds from the State of Florida through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) to undertake eligible homeownership and rental-related activities. To prevent a disruption in service, on July 11, 2023 (Agenda Item #16D.2), the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved an estimated award in SHIP funding. These funds are to be used to implement SHIP Program strategies outlined in the 2022/2025 LHAP that was approved by the Board on April 26, 2022 (Agenda Item #16D3).
