More About the Legislation: 

Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law Senate Bill 102, known as the "Live Local Act," a groundbreaking piece of legislation aimed at addressing the critical issue of workforce housing in Florida. The bill, which encompasses a range of provisions, aims to enhance access to affordable housing solutions for hardworking Floridians, empowering them to live in proximity to their workplaces.

The Live Local Act represents a significant milestone in the state's commitment to supporting the well-being and prosperity of its workers. By prioritizing the availability of affordable housing options near employment centers, the legislation seeks to foster economic growth, improve quality of life, and reduce commuting burdens for Florida's workforce.

One of the key provisions of the Live Local Act is the allocation of an additional $100 million in funding for the esteemed Hometown Heroes housing assistance program. Effective from July 1, 2023, this increased investment will bolster the resources available to Florida workers seeking housing support, particularly those who have made significant contributions to their communities.

Governor DeSantis expressed his enthusiasm for the Live Local Act, stating, "This groundbreaking legislation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to our workers and their families. The Live Local Act will revolutionize the way we approach workforce housing in Florida, ensuring that hardworking individuals have the opportunity to live where they work and thrive in their communities."

Through the Live Local Act, the state of Florida has taken a proactive stance in confronting the challenges faced by its workforce in accessing affordable housing options. By combining strategies to promote workforce housing with a substantial investment in the Hometown Heroes housing assistance program, the state government is spearheading efforts to create a more inclusive, prosperous, and sustainable Florida for all.
