• State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) Program
  Provides low-interest loans on a competitive basis to affordable housing developers each year. SAIL dollars are available to individuals, public entities, not-for-profit or for-profit organizations that propose the construction or substantial rehabilitation of multifamily units affordable to very low income individuals and families. A minimum of 20 percent of the development's units must be set aside for families earning 50 percent or less of the area median income. 
  
  
• State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) Program
  The State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program is the centerpiece of the William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act, passed in 1992. The Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) administers the SHIP Program. Funds are used as incentives to produce and/or preserve affordable home ownership and multifamily rental housing. Jurisdictions must establish a Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) that provides strategies to meet the affordable housing needs of their community.
  
  There will be no new allocation of funding for the 2012-2013 Fiscal Year since the State of Florida has not funded the SHIP program.
