DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
On April 15, 2025, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approved the Fiscal Years 2025-26, 2026-27 and 2027-28 Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP). The LHAP outlines Marion County’s strategies for using State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program funds to support and strengthen affordable housing efforts in the community.
As required every three years, the LHAP was submitted to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) for formal review. FHFC completed a staff-level review on April 29, 2025, followed by a Final Committee Review on June 4, 2025. Minor revisions were requested, and the updated LHAP was resubmitted and approved by FHFC on June 11, 2025. All revisions were reviewed and approved by the County Attorney’s office. No changes were made to the assistance amounts or to any of the proposed strategies. This final approved LHAP replaces the LHAP presented to the BCC on April 15, 2025.
The approved LHAP is available to the public on the FHFC website.
