Page 1 of 1 Guidance on the "Certification of Regulatory Reform" Question: On the "Regulatory Reform Certification" page that accompanies the Annual Report, how do we calculate the dollar amounts for Sections 3 and 4? Answer: Section 67- 37.019 (5) of the SHIP Rule outlines the following "Incentive Strategy" requirements for all SHIP jurisdictions: The local government staff or entity with administrative authority for a local housing assistance plan shall provide documented evidence to the Corporation or its designated monitoring agent, that: (a) Permits, as defined in Sections 163.3164(15) and (16), F.S., for affordable housing projects are expedited to a greater degree than other projects; and (b) There is an ongoing process for review of local policies, ordinances, regulations, and plan provisions that increase the cost of housing prior to their adoption. The "Certification for Implementation of Regulatory Reform Activities Required by SHIP" is one main method that the Florida Housing Finance Corporation uses to document a jurisdiction's compliance with this SHIP requirement. Sections 1 and 2: These are simply statements to evidence that the jurisdiction has implemented the incentive Strategies (a) and (b) that are referenced in the SHIP Rule. Section 3: First, enter the Fiscal Year that is ending this June 30. Talk with the group or individual in your jurisdiction that performs the "Ongoing Review" SHIP incentive strategy and ask them about their review process during the 12 months of this fiscal year. Include in Section 3 the group's per unit estimate of housing cost increases for new construction that have resulted from new local policies, ordinances, regulations, and more that were considered during the state fiscal year. If there have been no new policies to increase costs, enter $0. Section 4: . Similar to Section 3, provide in Section 4 the group's per unit estimate of housing cost increases for rehabilitation activities that have resulted from new local policies, ordinances, regulations and more that were considered during the state fiscal year. If there have been no new policies to increase costs, enter $0. NOTE: The SHIP Statute and Rule provide no guidance or method by which a local jurisdiction must determine the cost increase that will result from a new rule, ordinance, fee, etc. Such estimates are a local determination, and the jurisdiction should retain back up material to justify the dollar amounts reported on this certification form, which is signed by the jurisdiction's chief elected official. http: / /www. floridahousing.org /FH -Image WebDocs/ SHIP /OnLineARHelpFiles /OnLineAR... 8/17/2015
