A Resolution officially endorsing the Advantage Pinellas Housing Action Plan.
Body
Background Information:
As of July 2023, nine municipal and countywide partners have signed the Advantage Pinellas Housing Compact, committing to developing a common set of policies and resources to make it easier to create both traditional affordable housing and diverse market-rate housing that is affordable to households with a range of incomes.
The Housing Compact will be implemented by the Housing Action Plan, which creates a policy framework that will guide the efforts of the participating local governments for the next 10 years. A plan has been developed with the input from Forward Pinellas and other Housing Compact partners and was introduced at the Homes for Pinellas Summit on April 28, 2023.
Following endorsement by the Board, the Housing Action Plan will be forwarded to the other Compact Partner local governments for their endorsement.
As previously set forth in Joint Resolution No. 23-25, the Forward Pinellas Board shall serve as the ongoing forum for coordination, communication and collaborative planning and implementation activities of the Housing Action Plan.
