ANNUAL PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY PLAN

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-476-26, approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Public Housing Agency Plan. The plan includes establishing a site-based waiting list for Helen Sawyer Plaza Assisted Living Facility and standardizing admission preferences using a weighted point system, prioritizing groups like homeless referrals and veterans. It also updates demolition and disposition activities, including provisions for vacant land at former South Miami Gardens, and revises Project-Based Voucher (PBV) resident rights. The plan was submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for approval. Public comment included concerns from Renita Holmes regarding Housing Quality Standards (HQS) enforcement for residents with disabilities and allegations of inspector corruption, which she stated put residents at risk and could lead to litigation if not addressed. The County acknowledged these concerns and discussed compliance measures and preference point systems.
