Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County adopted a resolution urging the United States Congress to enact H.R. 6644, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, or similar legislation aimed at expanding the supply of affordable housing. The resolution highlights the county's severe housing supply shortages and affordability challenges. The proposed federal legislation includes measures such as grants for local governments to streamline mixed-income housing, coordination of environmental reviews, updates to FHA loan limits, expansion of HOME program eligibility, allowing CDBG funds for new affordable housing construction, and a pilot program for FHA-backed mortgages under $100,000. The County Commission directed its federal lobbyists to advocate for this legislation.
