WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has recently empanelled a
Workforce Housing Task Force made up of members from throughout the Florida Keys
to address critical housing affordability issues facing the Florida Keys; and
WHEREAS, the State of Florida and all local governments in the Florida Keys
(each subject to Area of Critical State Concern mandates relating to housing
affordability) recognize the need for affordable housing throughout the state and
particularly in the Florida Keys where developable land for housing is extremely limited
and expensive; and
WHEREAS, the challenge of providing affordable housing opportunities in the
Florida Keys is one requiring sensible and responsive use of residential unit allocations,
with due consideration to effective and efficient ongoing oversight and administration of
affordable housing assets, both publicly-owned and private; and
WHEREAS, there are recognized economies of scale and increased effectiveness
where oversight and administrative roles are assigned to organizations that have
experience and staffing suitable to providing effective and efficient monitoring and
administration of affordable housing resources, both public and private; and
WHEREAS, the Monroe County Housing Authority is an agency with
experience and staffing suitable to providing a greater role in affordable housing resource
monitoring and administration, including that relating to privately-owned affordable
housing; and
WHEREAS, based upon recommendations of the Monroe County Workforce
Housing Task Force and upon the consideration and finding of this Board that these
recommendations are sound and merit immediate implementation; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA that:
