Affordable housing advocates are pleased to hear Governor Ron DeSantis is proposing to dedicate all of the William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Trust Fund to affordable housing in his budget proposal.
Over the years, state lawmakers have tapped into housing funds created to provide revenue for affordable and workforce housing and reallocated millions of dollars to other state spending ventures.
In 2018 the state legislature passed a House proposed sweep of $185 million from the Sadowski Housing Fund and left $109 million for the state’s affordable housing programs.
