- 2022 SHIP and HHRP Annual Reports
The City of Tallahassee's State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Annual Report for state fiscal years 2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022, and the Hurricane Housing Recovery Program (HHRP) Annual Report for state fiscal years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 are now available for public viewing online.
The City of Tallahassee's Housing Division partners with community agencies to build and preserve the inventory of affordable housing within the City, and to provide pathways out of homelessness for vulnerable neighbors. The SHIP Program provides funding to local governments as an incentive to create partnerships that produce and preserve affordable homeownership and multifamily housing. The program is designed to serve very low, low- and moderate-income families. The SHIP and HHRP Annual Reports identify total funding allocated, project expenditures, demographics, and income levels of households served. The reports are submitted to the Florida Legislature each year providing outcomes for expenditures.
