Agenda 06/11/2019 Item #16D 8 (Budget Amendment - 2019/2020 SHIP Funding)06/11/2019
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a Budget Amendment to allow continuous operation of the State
Housing Initiatives Partnership Program prior to the execution of the 2019/2020 funding award.
OBJECTIVE: To support housing affordability in Collier County.
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 serves 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
FHFC during the month of June for the upcoming grant cycle. To avoid disruption in services, and
ensure compliance with the grant service agreement requirements, the upcoming funding has been
estimated based on amount approved during the state FY19 legislative session.
Collier County is estimated to be awarded a total of $599,670 in SHIP funding. These funds are to be
used to implement SHIP Program strategies outlined in the 2019/2022 Local Housing Assistance Plan
(LHAP) that was approved by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on April 23, 2019 (Agenda
Item #16D1) and have an expenditure deadline of June 30, 2022. When the final award allocation is
received, any necessary Budget Amendments needed to reflect variations from the estimated amount will
be presented to the Board.
The following table provides a detailed breakdown of the award amount:
Program Project Program Funds Admin Funds Grant Total
SHIP 33613 $539,703 $59,967 $599,670
FISCAL IMPACT: The Budget Amendment recognizes estimated grant revenue of $599,670 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 SHIP Grant Fund (791), Project 33613. The
proposed action does not have an impact on the General Fund.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Item has been approved for form and legality and requires a
majority vote for Board approval. - JAB
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.

Housing Initiatives Partnership Program prior to the execution of the 2019/2020 funding award.
