South Florida Workforce Housing Best Practices is a companion study to the 2008 South Florida Workforce Housing Needs Assessment. The study highlights the accomplishments of South Florida municipalities that have been proactive in addressing the workforce housing needs of their respective communities. The best practice case studies are the product of a “scorecard” assessment of affordable housing delivery among South Florida’s county and municipal governments. The scorecards were prepared by the Florida International University Metropolitan Center on behalf of the Broward Housing Partnership (BHP) and Housing Leadership Council of Palm Beach County (HLC/PBC) as part of their workforce housing needs assessments. The Municipal Scorecard for Affordable Housing Delivery© (MS-AHD) model was created to monitor and evaluate the progress of local governments in developing and implementing workforce/affordable housing policies and building management and institutional capacities to address these issues in the long term. The MS-AHD implementation in Broward and Palm Beach Counties enabled the MC/FIU to assess the progress of the counties and larger municipalities during the past year. The MS-AHD also enabled the MC/AHD to highlight best practice examples in South Florida for other local governments to emulate and perhaps replicate within their local context.
