Leveraging is utilized by the City as an excellent tool to better meet the needs of its low and moderate income persons by increasing the total number of dollars available per person. Broward County has been designated as a HOME Consortium by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and receives an annual allocation of HOME funds on behalf of the thirteen (13) participating Consortium cities. These funds have enabled members of the consortium to expand their initiatives and resources to provide safe, decent and affordable housing to the residents of the participating cities. The City of Tamarac is a part of the Consortium, with the leveraging of HOME funds, the City is able to increase the financial resources available for specific housing needs. As a SHIP grantee, the City of Tamarac has been successful in leveraging CDBG dollars with SHIP dollars to not only increase the total dollars available to the applicant, but to assist certain moderate income persons' not eligible under CDBG income criteria. The City has also established an affordable housing trust fund, which is funded with developer contributions in lieu of an affordable component within a development. Although the grant funds fluctuate and have been limited over the past few years, the City leveraged the following FY 2019/2020 funds to benefit low/moderate income households: • CDBG funds in the amount of $399,552 • SHIP funds in the amount of: $110,215 • HOME funds in the amount of: $135,457 The City currently does not have any funding source that requires matching. The City has assessed its inventory of publicly owned land and a determination was made that the City does not currently own land that is suitable for use as affordable housing. Should the City purchase residential land in the future, the City will maintain a current list showing locations and zoning.

The City will continue to monitor its programs to ensure that the priority needs of increasing the supply of affordable housing units and preserving the current affordable housing stock is continuously met.
