Such efforts may include determination of their significance and vulnerability, as well as implementation of historic preservation management policies. Potential Policy: The County shall assist in the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of historically significant housing through available technical and economic assistance programs. These efforts shall be coordinated with the State Division of Historical Resources (DHR). Policy 8.1: Technical assistance shall be provided by the County staff to individuals and organizations having individual or collective interests in conserving historic or architecturally-significant structures, neighborhoods, and areas.

The County shall assist property owners of historically significant housing in applying for and using available state and federal assistance programs. Policy 8.2: The cCounty shall maintain and implement its Historic and archeological resource protection Ordinance. (Ch. 933, LDRs). Objective 9: By 2012, Indian River County will have continue to engage in interlocal agreements with the municipalities within the cCounty to provide housing assistance to very low-, low-, and moderate-income households as well as ensure local jurisdictions are able to provide sufficient affordable housing. Policy 9.2: The county will inform the municipalities within the county of the existence of the county’s housing trust fund and of the opportunity for the municipalities to contribute to the fund in order to meet their share of county housing needs. The County shall enter into interlocal agreements with any county municipality which, because of unusually high property values or coastal high hazard area constraints, cannot meet its affordable housing needs within its jurisdiction, and desires to contribute to the Housing Trust Fund. The amount and method of payment will be established prior to execution. [Note: Replaced original policy 9.2 with policy 4.5] PAGE 91
