Standalone affordable housing master plan

Summary

AHAC wants the city to develop its own affordable housing master plan, citing a lack of Fort Lauderdale-specific data. A housing needs assessment component alone ran $60,000 in 2019; Mayor Trantalis questioned spending more money on a study when the crisis is already obvious.
