According to Chapter 420 of the Florida Statutes, in order to receive certain state affordable housing funds, the City must establish an Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) and the City Commission must appoint AHAC members. According to the statute, to promote representation of diverse stakeholder groups, the AHAC members must fill certain categories. The primary purpose of the AHAC is to review the City's rules, regulations, plans, procedures, and policies that impact the costs of developing affordable housing. Based on that review, AHAC must develop an Incentives and Recommendations Report (IRR) and submit it to the City Commission for submission to the State.
