About the Coalition

The Sadowski Housing Coalition is 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.

The coalition originally came together in 1991 with the goal of obtaining a dedicated revenue source for Florida’s housing programs. Membership in the coalition has grown since and continues to grow today with affordability being a top concern for Floridians.

Currently, membership in the coalition ranges from business and industry groups to faith-based organizations, demonstrating a wide breadth of support from industries across the state of Florida.

Coalition members work collaboratively to support using all the dedicated housing dollars for Florida’s housing program to created needed housing that is affordable throughout the state.
