Executive Summary (General Business): Each year, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC) is required to submit an incentive strategies report. The AHAC is specifically directed by the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Statue to consider and evaluate the incentives set out in Florida Statues, Sec. 420.9076 (4) (a) - (k) on a yearly basis. This report includes recommendations by the Committee for at least the eleven distinct areas.
Presentation Information: N/A
Staff Recommendation: Move that the committee recommend approval of the AHAC 2025 Incentive Strategies Report and to recommend submission to the City of Port St. Lucie City Council.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the committee amend the recommendation and approve the updated version of the AHAC 2025 Incentive Strategies Report and submit to City Council.
2. Move that the committee not approve the AHAC 2025 Incentive Strategies Report and provide staff direction for the fulfillment of the State requirements.
Background: During the August 21, 2025, AHAC meeting, the Draft AHAC Incentive Strategies were discussed with the committee. The committee reached a consensus with the existing strategies that were included in the 2024 AHAC Report. The committee did, however, have minor adjustments to the AHAC Incentives Chart. On October 16th the committee approved of the incentives (with the minor adjustments now addressed) to come back before the committee one final time during the scheduled public hearing on November 20, 2025.
Issues/Analysis: The Draft AHAC 2025 Incentive Strategies Report includes the AHAC Incentive Strategies Chart that was approved on October 16, 2025. Should the committee approve of the report, it will be submitted to the Port St. Lucie City Council for their acceptance, and subsequently transmitted to Florida Housing Coalition (FHC) by the deadline of December 31, 2025.
