EXPLANATION: Mr. Ryan McKinless, Florida Housing Coalition Policy Analyst, will present an overview of the Live Local Act. The Live Local Act (166.04151, Florida Statutes) is a comprehensive, statewide attainable housing strategy designed to increase the availability of affordable housing opportunities for Florida’s residents who desire to live within the communities they serve. This framework provides historic recurring funding for housing very-low to moderate income households. In addition to a multitude of new programs, incentives, and opportunities, this legislation works to focus Florida’s housing strategy in ways that make housing more attainable.
The Live Local Act became effective July 1, 2023, with the approval of Senate Bill 102. It was amended in 2024 by Senate Bill 328.
