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 introduces a weighted point system for ranking housing applicants, prioritizing groups like homeless referrals and veterans, and establishes a site-based waiting list for Helen Sawyer Plaza Assisted Living Facility. It also updates demolition and disposition activities and aligns Project-Based Voucher (PBV) resident rights with HUD notices. Public comment included concerns about Housing Quality Standards (HQS) enforcement and inspector training from a resident with disabilities, and a commissioner's desire for greater input on the shift to a point-based voucher system, particularly for elderly applicants. The plan was approved after public hearings and stakeholder engagement.
