When it comes to affordable housing, Florida has seen both triumphs and ongoing challenges in 2018. Compared to other states in the nation, Florida enjoys access to an incredible source of funding for housing, the Sadowski Local Housing Trust Fund. At the time of publication of this report, the Florida Legislature was working to appropriate Housing Trust Funds for housing in Florida. At the same time, community leaders and residents across the state have called out for help in the face of soaring housing costs and a shrinking supply of affordable housing. The housing landscape was only worsened in 2018 by the hurricane season.
