I. INTRODUCTION <br />Purpose and Intent <br />This document, titled Indian River County Local Housing <br />Assistance Plan, outlines and provides the general guidelines, <br />operating procedures and assistance strategies of the Indian <br />River County Local Housing Assistance Program as established <br />by the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners via <br />Ordinance 93-13 (Please see Exhibit C); pursuant to the <br />requirements of the State of Florida State Housing Initiatives <br />Partnership (SHIP) Program and Rule 91-37.005, Local Housing <br />Assistance Plans, Florida Administrative Code (FAC). <br />The purpose and intent of the Indian River County Local <br />Housing Assistance Plan is to provide guidelines, operating <br />procedures and assistance strategies to be utilized by the <br />Indian River County Local Housing Assistance Program in order <br />to encourage the provision and rehabilitation of decent, <br />affordable housing for the residents of Indian River County. <br />Background <br />The provision of affordable housing has become a significant <br />issue throughout the United States, Florida and Indian River <br />County.
