Florida’s legislature agreed to dedicate the entirety of the $370 million in a document stamp tax to the Sadowski Trust Fund to affordable housing programs, the first time the state has done so in 13 years. Since 2008, the legislature has diverted a total of nearly $3 billion from the fund’s dedicated revenue to balance the state budget and pay for other priorities. The Sadowski Trust Fund is dedicated to the SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnership) program, which provides low-income families with down payment assistance, and the SAIL (State Apartment Incentive Loan) program, which gives affordable housing developers low-interest loans.
