DEMOLITION OF ARTHUR MAYS VILLAS PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners deferred a resolution authorizing the County Mayor or designee to submit a demolition application to HUD for a portion of the Arthur Mays Villas Public Housing Development. This portion consists of 147 units 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 is authorized to competitively select and award a demolition contract through the MCC 7360 Plan for up to $2,000,000. The site has been deemed physically obsolete with rehabilitation costs exceeding HUD thresholds, and some buildings have received unsafe structure violation notices. The Department of Housing and Community Development has held multiple meetings with residents and plans further outreach with community stakeholders. 13 units are currently occupied and will be relocated upon HUD approval.
