The "Affordable Housing and Supportive Services Act for Persons with Developmental Disabilities" aims to improve access to affordable housing and support services for individuals with developmental disabilities in Florida. The bill introduces a new section in Florida Statutes that includes legislative findings, definitions, and incentives for developing affordable housing. Key provisions consist of an exemption from ad valorem taxation for eligible properties, a 99-year vested right to this exemption, and tax exemptions for building materials used in qualifying residential units. Additionally, local governments are mandated to waive certain impact fees for these developments. The bill also establishes a tax credit program for businesses employing individuals with developmental disabilities and requires the Department of Children and Families to create a Tenant-Based Rental Assistance Program.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the establishment of Regional Housing and Employment Support Centers to assist individuals in finding housing and employment, as well as a subsidized transportation program. It includes compliance measures such as annual audits and penalties for noncompliance, with an appropriation of $1 million for the 2025-2026 fiscal year to support implementation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and emphasizes collaboration among state departments to enhance vocational training and transportation services for individuals with developmental disabilities.
