The Board of County Commissioners is reviewing an amendment to the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) for fiscal years 2026-2029, along with an authorizing resolution. This item is currently pending review and has no fiscal impact. The plan amendment would set the framework for how SHIP funds are used for housing assistance in Polk County over the next several years. While the agenda item does not specify particular construction projects, the approved plan would guide future housing-related work. This could include new home construction, rehabilitation of existing homes, or other housing assistance programs. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers in the residential construction and housing sector should monitor this plan's adoption. Reaching out to the county early, before specific projects are bid, can help businesses understand upcoming opportunities and align their services with the county's housing goals.
