The Rental/New Construction Program is for developers only. However, due to no state funding, this program has been suspended indefinitely.

Competitive Bid Selection Process

Broward County, through the administration of the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program*, will make funds available through a separate competitive bid process. Notice will be advertised in a newspaper of general circulation announcing the County's request for proposal, letter of interest or quotes (RFP/RLI/RFQ). Notice will state the application procedures and application deadline.

The SHIP Rental/New Construction Program was created to expand affordable housing opportunities for renters by constructing new, multi-family rental units to be occupied by income eligible families. Rental/New Construction will accompany upgraded water supply systems, improved drainage, new road pavement, swales, sodding, landscaping, and neighborhood signage. Assistance will be in the form of a 30-year deferred payment loan.

Units are to be occupied by income eligible families upon completion.

(*) The purpose of the SHIP Program is to assist in meeting specific housing needs of very-low, low and moderate income households, to expand the production and preservation of affordable housing.
