BACKGROUND:
This Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) sets forth the three year outline through

420.907 - .9079 Florida Statutes (F.S.) and Chapter 67-37 Florida Administrative Code
(F.A.C.). The legislation includes the creation of the State Housing Initiative Partnership
(SHIP), which is designed to provide for: (i) a sharing between the State and local
governments a portion of the revenue collected from the documentary stamp tax on
deeds, (ii) the establishment of public-private partnerspip to build, rehabilitate and
preserve affordable housing, and (Hi) maximum flexibility to local governments to
determine the use of funds to better meet the responsibilities for affordable housing as set
forth in the comprehensive plan.
All city and county governments in Florida meeting the eligibility requirements will
receive SHIP funds. Each government will receive at least $350,000. Allocations higher
than $350,000 are determined by population. The SHIP allocation to the City of
Clearwater is estimated to be $900,000 for each fIscal year 2003-04, 2004 -05 and 2005-
06. The allocation may increase or decrease each fiscal year depending on documentary
stamp collections. SHIP requires that the cities and counties prepare a Local Housing
Assistance Plan (LHAP), which must be submitted, to the Florida Housing Finance
Corporation (FHFC).
The City of Clearwater, as an eligible municipality, has approved and adopted Ordinance

the bond fmanced loans for eligible households. Loans can be for acquisition of existing
homes, new construction and rehabilitation of existing homes.
The SIllP funds will be provided to the local HFA at zero percent (0%) interest for very-
low, low and moderate income households and be leveraged with their bond funds. The
bond documents will specify the applicant selection criteria for the programs. Recipients
will be selected based on compliance with all eligibility requirements of the SIllP
Program and thereafter served on a first come, first served basis.
The local HF A will assure that all City SHIP files are properly documented to assure
eligibility and compliance with SHIP guidelines, including expenditure guidelines and
also assure that all households assisted with the City's SHIP funds reside in the City of
13
City of Qearwater FY2003-2006 LHAP
Clearwater by providing periodic reports to the City of all Clearwater households
assisted.
SIllP Funds will be repaid to the City when the bond issue meets the Asset Parity Test.
Once the Asset Parity Test is reached (104%) with the bonds, and all premium bonds are
paid off, a portion .of swplus funds generated by mortgage repayments will, at the HFA's
direction, be directed back to the HF A. From those funds, the HF A will repay the SlllP
investors (local jurisdictions) and itself on a pro rata basis until all funds deposited in that
issue are repaid. Repayment will be on a semi-annual basis. The Trustee manages those
accounts and each bond issue must meet it's own parity test and they will occur at
different times depending on the maturity of the issue, the number of prepayments and
other issues.
STRATEGY 8: FORECLOSURE PREVENTION
Funds will be provided to assist households who have been previously assisted with City
of Clearwater SlllP funds in order to prevent foreclosure. The City will provide funds
only one time to bring a household current with their existing fIrst mortgage, up to a
maximum of six (6) payments or the maximum allowable subsidy under this strategy.
The household must have been assisted with City of Clearwater SlllP and/or HOME
funds within the past five (5) years and in order to provide assistance to bring current,
must be very-low, low or moderate income at the time the Foreclosure Prevention
assisted is provided. The amount of the assistance will be added to the borrower's
existing City of Clearwater loan through a modification of mortgage note. The household
must commit to enroll in a credit counselinglbudgeting course offered by an approved
local provider.
Assistance will only be provide where a valid (documented) hardship exist that is the
cause for the delinquency on their fIrst mortgage payments. Such examples of hardship
include, but not limited to:
. Loss of Employment, through no fault ofborrower(s)
· Substantial Decrease in Household Income, through no fault ofborrower(s)
. Death of Spouse
. Temporary or Permanent Disability that Reduces Income
. Recent Divorce that Reduces Income
. Natural Disaster
. Fire
In certain cases where foreclosure on the fIrst mortgage in inevitable, the City may use
SIllP funds to payoff the first mortgage and restructure the loan and/or acquire the
dwelling and sell the property to an income eligible household.

LOCAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING INCENTIVES
The City of Clearwater has adopted a series of incentives to facilitate affordable housing.
Because Clearwater is nearly "built out" new development is typically done on an "in-
fill" basis. The City has worked with numerous developers on major construction in the
past and in those activities, the City facilitated the developer's applications, assisted with
permitting and provided a variety of incentives making projects attractive in the City.
The City of Clearwater continues to address the two required statutory affordable housing
incentives through collaboration between those City departments that are involved in the
preservation and production of affordable housing. The two required affordable housing
incentives are: 1. Assurance that permits as dermed in Chapter 163.3164(7) and (8) F.S.
for affordable housing projects are expedited to a greater degree than other projects
(420.9076(4)(a) F.S.; 2. An ongoing process for review of local policies, ordinanc~s,
regulations, and plan provisions that increase the cost of housing prior to their adoption
(420.9076(4)(i) F.S. The City has utilized the other affordable housing incentives as
contained in 420.9076(4).
In addition to City of Clearwater Staff, the City's NAHAB reviews, monitors and
evaluates the physical envit:onment and lifestyle of very-low to moderate income
households assisted by the programs that the City administers through the Housing
Division. The NAHAB also recommends specific initiatives to encourage or facilitate
affordable housing while protecting the ability of the property to appreciate in value.
Such recommendations may include the modification or repeal of existing policies,
procedures, ordinances, regulations or plan provisions; the creation of exceptions
applicable to affordable housing; or the adoption of new policies, procedures, regulations,
ordinances or plan provisions.
The NAHAB reviews local programs by assessing neighborhood needs, formulating
neighborhood goals and objectives, all in constant consult with the Housing Division.
They also establishing priorities for projects within neighborhoods, and in addition,
monitor and evaluate programs and make recommendations to the City Commission
regarding such programs.
The City of Clearwater holds public hearings and meetings to obtain citizen views and
responds to citizen proposals and questions about proposed activities and program
performance. Citizens and other partners emphasize the need for a broad range of
opinion in the establishment of goals, objectives, projects and priorities and in the
application, monitoring and evaluation of funded programs.
Due to the relatively low numbers of new construction at the "affordable" level, and the
fact that each development needs different types of incentives, projects are handled on a
case-by-case basis.
Typically, the City's Economic Development and/or Housing Division meets with a
prospective affordable housing developer(s) to determine the level of assistance and
15
City of Clearwater FY2003-2006 LHAP
needs of the project. Staff then assists the developer through the Building, Planning and
Engineering departments for plan review and the other various applications needed for
approval. This allows the Housing and/or Economic Development Division to
troubleshoot and provide explanations immediately. Because project needs are
established up front, assistance can be provided seamlessly.
ADMINISTRATION
The State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SlllP) administration shall not exceed
