Tampa is however missing two crucial components. To ensure successful projects, Tampa needs to continue a proactive planning practice and also develop specific station area plans. Tampa has unique state funding programs, such as the State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) program, the State Apartment Incentive Loan (SAIL) program and the Elderly Housing Community Loan (EHCL) program, at its disposal that can further support its community members through housing and transportation expense reductions. Tampa also makes a point the projects should be held accountable for their schedules and expenses, and that green building practices should be sought out when constructing or renovating affordable housing units. The findings suggest that Tampa's policy makers have worked hard to develop the schedule of programs currently outlined and that the city is aware of the connectivity of the crucial elements that drive a community's sustainability.
