GAI’s Community Solutions Group (CSG) partnered with local governments from Orange, Seminole, and Osceola Counties, along with the City of Orlando, to launch Central Florida’s first Regional Affordable Housing Initiative. This initiative aimed to study and implement solutions to the region's growing housing shortage, prompting these municipalities to explore a unified strategy.
With guidance and support from our CSG team, the initiative focused on regulatory, financial, and programmatic tools. It culminated in a comprehensive report that outlines affordable housing challenges and proposes shared solutions. Key measures include streamlining approvals, setting standards for accessory dwellings, implementing inclusionary housing requirements, and implementing linkage fees.
