The new report finds that a minimum-wage worker in Florida—earning the state’s minimum wage of $13 an hour—would need to work 96 hours a week to afford a “modest” one-bedroom rental at fair market rate. Assuming you get eight hours of sleep each night, that leaves only 16 hours in the week for other activities.

Florida broadly ranks ninth nationwide in having the highest housing wage, according to the report, behind states like California, Washington, New York and Maryland.

By comparison, in South Dakota, a renter would only have to make $31,910 annually to afford a one-bedroom apartment without being rent-burdened.

Councilmembers voted to include a discussion of the program at a Committee of the Whole meeting. The next Committee of the Whole meeting will take place on Thursday, July 31, according to a July 24 meeting agenda.

Councilmember Richie Floyd told the San Pedro Gazette that they are still seeking clarity regarding the services to assist the unhoused population mentioned by the proponents of the Clean and Safe Program.

“The thing is, unfortunately, the Democratic Party left me a long time ago,” she said when asked by a member of the audience at the Tampa Tiger Bay meeting whether she would have left the Democratic Party if it had held the majority in Tallahassee—something that hasn’t been the case in nearly three decades.

What Valdés didn’t say, though, was that her conversion to the Republican Party in December, shortly following the 2024 elections, came just a week after she lost a bid to chair the Hillsborough County Democratic Executive Committee.
