BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: August 19, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Elliot Kampert
SUBJECT: FY 2014-2015 SHIP Certifications
DEPARTMENT: Growth Management
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: In order to utilize State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program
funds, it is necessary for the County to certify that funds will be used in accordance with the
strategies provided in the current Local Housing Assistance Plan.
BACKGROUND: On June 17, 2014, the County signed the necessary certifications which
were forwarded to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC). On July 24, 2014 the
FHFC requested that the certification be modified to reflect which SHIP strategies will utilize the
funds set aside for special needs applicants.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
authorize the Chairman to sign the attached certification, and authorize the Contracts and Grants
office of the Okaloosa County Clerk of Circuit Court to transmit the signed certification to the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation.
