It is also a tremendous acknowledgment of the roles that technical support and policy research play in the passage and implementation of state housing policies. We are thrilled to be considered as a Finalist as we continue to work to ensure that every Floridian has access to an affordable home of their choosing"

Why they were selected as an
Ivory Prize Finalist
“The Live Local Act is a transformative piece of legislation in Florida with a unique combination of mandates and incentives for market-driven solutions to workforce housing shortages. The goal of the Ivory Prize is to celebrate the most promising ideas in housing affordability so that others may take notice and bring such ideas back to their own communities. The Live Local Act exemplifies a housing-forward approach that we believe will shape the future of housing policy.”
