The Sadowski Housing Coalition
is a nonpartisan collection of over 40 diverse statewide organizations that initially came together in 1991 to obtain a dedicated revenue source for Florida’s affordable housing programs.
The coalition is collectively focused on the protection and enhancement of the funding from the Sadowski Housing Trust Funds, and the programs that it funds, SHIP and SAIL, which are pivotal to the success of affordable housing in Florida. The coalition believes that this funding is the floor, not the ceiling, for affordable housing. While additional funding for housing programs or projects outside SHIP or SAIL to help alleviate Florida’s deficit of housing is welcome, it needs to come from sources other than the Sadowski Housing Trust Funds.
