Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-93, authorizing the City Manager  
or designee to execute the agreement with Bright Community Trust, Inc.; to  
administer the Community Land Trust program as authorized by the Local  
Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP)  
Resolution No. 2025-68, approved on July 7, 2025, established the

Background:  
Deltona continues to face a shortage of attainable housing, particularly  
for households earning up to 140% of the Area Median Income, for First  
Responders. High land costs remain a major factor affecting  
affordability. The CLT model helps preserve long-term affordability by  
keeping land under nonprofit ownership and selling or leasing the  
homes to income qualified households through long term ground  
leases.  
The resolution allows the City to convey property to Bright Community  
Trust, with deed restrictions and reverter clauses, for the development  
and maintenance of affordable housing. It authorizes the City Manager  
or designee to execute agreements in accordance with purchasing  
policy.

amendment is necessary to account for unanticipated revenues and  
expenditures that have occurred since the adoption of the original  
budget. These amendments are for both revenues and expenditures of  
operations, capital outlay and capital improvements.  
Background:  
This final budget amendment is always completed in November of each
