1. Invest $3.6 million in a scattered-site leasing program to serve 200 households. Partner with an experienced provider to implement and operate the program.
2. Use existing affordable housing resources and funding to increase a portion of set-asides for extremely low-income (ELI) and permanent supportive housing in new requests for funding.
3. Utilize available data through the PIT Count, Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and Coordinated Entry to track progress and determine ongoing needs.
Funding ($3.6 million annually for scattered-site program) o Bringing in an experienced PSH developer will expedite Manatee County’s ability to bring PSH online by understanding the right amount of subsidy the County should invest.
• $2 million in annual funding will help serve up to 100 households each year. Beyond that, the County can provide incentives for housing developers to increase the number of units dedicated specifically for PSH.
