Trey Price, Gunster Government Affairs Consultant and former Executive Director of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, spoke with the South Florida Sun Sentinel about the Live Local Act, a new law that aims to increase workforce housing in Florida. He explained the need for more affordable and accessible housing for essential workers, such as nurses, firefighters and police officers, and the challenges and opportunities that the law presents for developers and local governments.
Within the article, Price announced the formation of the Live Local Alliance, a group that will advocate for the implementation of the law and the collaboration between the industry and the state. Price explains, "We will give a voice to Floridians who believe that we need to do more to help our workforce live their lives how they choose, without spending hours commuting from other towns just to make a living."
