ITEM BACKGROUND:
These terms are referred to in state statutes and are used as definitions by other housing agencies. Florida
Statue Section 42-0.5095 defines "essential services personnel." The County therefore has a need to define
"essential services personnel" for use in its LDRs. The definition for "workforce housing" is found in Florida
Statute Sec. 420.5095(3)(a) and is another term in the affordable housing guidelines which allow for various
income limitations, in this case 150% of the median income in an area of critical state concern, adjusted for
household size.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION:
The BOCC, on September 20, 2006, by Resolution No. 384-2006, adopted Amendment 2 to the State Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Local Housing Assistance Plan ("LHAP"). Included in the LHAP is a definition
of the term "essential services personnel."
