Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan Housing Elements (known as the Consolidated Plan) states:
COST BURDEN (from Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan):
Generally, households needing assistance are those households in the extremely low and very low income categories. Those are households with
annual incomes Tess than $24,999. According to the Census, 14,698 Indian River County households were in those two income categories in 2000.
Because of high housing costs, many of those 14,698 households may have housing affordability problems.
For renter households, housing cost includes contract rent and some allowance for utilities. In 2000, 4,414 (40.30%v) renter households with the
county were paying more than 30 percent of their income for rent. In some cases, this represents an affordability problem, but in other cases this
represents people choosing to spend a higher percentage of their income to obtain better housing.
According to the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, 13,577 Indian River County households paid more than 30% of their income for
housing in 2005. In that same year, 5,066 of those households paid more than 50%n of their income for housing.

• Affirmatively marketing to local non-profit agencies that assist the elderly population;
• Continuing with preferences for the homeless one bedroom elderly population;
Strategy 4: Target available assistance for the disabled by:
• Applying for special-purpose vouchers targeted to assist the disabled should these vouchers become available;
• Partnering and resourcing with local non-profit agencies that assist disabled head of households.
Strategy 5: Coordinate activities to affirmatively broaden fair housing by:

SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS (from Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan) :
In determining housing needs, there are several population categories that warrant particular consideration. These are the elderly, the low income
disabled, and farmworkers. One population category that warrants special consideration from a housing needs perspective is the elderly. The
following table shows the percentage of Indian River County households headed by a person 65 or older as reported by the 1990 census, the 2000
census, and the 2005 Shimberg Center for affordable housing estimate:
Percentage of Elderly Head of Households -Indian River Count
1990 Census 2000 Census 2005 Shimberg
Percentage of Households
headed by a person of 65 or older 28.75% 36.09% 41%
Compared to other areas, Indian River County has a high percentage of elderly households. According to Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing,
elderly households, in 2005 constituted 27% of all households statewide, while elderly households constituted 41 % of all county households.
In Indian River County, future housing needs for elderly households (65+) were projected by utilizing Shimberg Center figures which indicate that,
in 2005, 41% of households were headed by an elderly person. The following table shows the projected number of elderly households within the
county through 2030:
(Current 2013 Shimberg data is available on-line)
Projected Number for Housing for Elderly (65+) (41% of Total Housing Units)
The County targets its housing assistance resources to very low, low, and moderate income elderly households. By targeting assistance to very low,
low and moderate income households generally, the county also provides assistance to elderly households which fall in those income categories and
need assistance.
PROJECTED HOUSING NEEDS (from Indian River County Board of County Commissioners Comprehensive Plan):
Housing need is defined as the number of new dwelling units that must be constructed within a certain timeframe to accommodate a projected
future population. For Indian River County, the University of Florida Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) population projections
are used to project the number of future households and, consequently, the number of units needed to house those households. Assuming a 15% rate
for seasonal and vacant units, the total needed units are then calculated. For years 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030, the total number of additional
units needed was determined by subtracting existing units from projected units. Based on those projections, an additional 26,839 units must be
constructed between now and 2030.
As in the past, virtually all of the housing units needed by 2030 will be constructed by the private sector. As such, market demand will dictate the
pace of housing construction through 2030, and no county policies are needed to ensure that overall housing needs are met. While overall housing
need will be met by the private sector, government assistance will be needed for those households in the lowest income categories.
