The Sadowski Housing Coalition
A nonpartisan collaboration of over 40 statewide organizations focused on keeping housing affordable for Floridians by collectively asking the Florida Legislature to use all the dedicated housing dollars in the housing trust funds for Florida’s housing programs – the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program and State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) program.
A nonpartisan collaboration of over 40 statewide organizations focused on keeping housing affordable for Floridians by collectively asking the Florida Legislature to use all the dedicated housing dollars in the housing trust funds for Florida’s housing programs – the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program and State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) program.
Together, the SHIP and SAIL programs help Floridians at all stages of life – from a first-time homebuyer trying to put down roots to a family who needs critical repairs to remain safely in their home.
These programs work. Florida’s SHIP and SAIL programs have proven track records of performance, transparency and accountability, successfully turning dedicated dollars into needed homes that are affordable.
At a time when affordability matters most, fully putting Florida’s dedicated housing dollars to work is the best way to help Floridians find housing they can afford, remain in their communities and build a future in the Sunshine State.
