Florida Coalition for the Homeless - ACTION ALERT - CALL ASAP




ACTION ALERT - CALL ASAP

SADOWSKI HOUSING TRUST FUND STILL IN JEOPARDY


House and Senate Conferees are making decisions today. Please pick up the phone as soon as you get this email- contact the offices of the following legislators before NOON today with the following message:


I URGE YOU NOT TO PERMANENTLY REDIRECT THE SADOWSKI HOUSING TRUST FUND DOCUMENTARY STAMP TAX REVENUE INTO GENERAL REVENUE (SB 2154) OR THE PROPOSED SEED TRUST FUND (HB 7205, 7207)

Contact info is below.

Background for you information:

• Section 1 in SB 2154 would permanently redirect doc stamp revenue from the Sadowski Trust Funds to General Revenue. The Legislature does not need to do this in order to use housing trust money to balance the budget.
• HB 7205and 7207 (known as The SEED proposal) is the 'Super Trust Fund' in the House comprised of affordable housing, transportation and other trust fund monies. It permanently redirects doc stamps from the Housing Trust Funds to the SEED Trust Fund. The SEED proposal will make it more difficult politically for the Legislature to balance the budget because it would be easier to sweep the trust funds as they exist now for GR expenditures.
