DEMOLITION OF ARTHUR MAYS VILLAS PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is authorizing the submission of a demolition application to HUD for a portion of the Arthur Mays Villas Public Housing Development. This portion consists of 147 units located within a single site bounded by SW 214th Street (North), SW 113th Avenue (East), SW 216th Street (South), and SW 114th Court (West). The demolition is subject to HUD approval. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to competitively select and award a demolition contract through the MCC 7360 Plan for up to $2,000,000.00. The decision to demolish follows a physical needs assessment indicating rehabilitation costs exceed HUD thresholds and unsafe structure violation notices. The Department of Housing and Community Development has conducted multiple outreach meetings with residents since 2018 and will coordinate relocation for the 13 currently occupied units upon HUD approval. The project is part of a broader initiative to modernize public housing inventory. Previous redevelopment proposals through the RAD program did not result in agreements due to funding gaps.
