FY 2026 ACTION PLAN

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

Miami-Dade County is approving its Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Action Plan, allocating over $22.6 million in federal funds for community development. This includes $12,657,029.00 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, $4,722,449.45 in HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) funds, and $1,096,830.00 in Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funds. The plan also involves substantial amendments to previous consolidated plans to recapture and reallocate funds. The allocated funds will support various activities such as public services, economic development, housing, and public facilities/capital improvements, primarily benefiting low- to moderate-income residents and neighborhoods. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to submit the plan to HUD, recapture funds from stalled activities, allocate funds, and execute necessary agreements. Public comment highlighted concerns about disability access in housing developments and affordability pressures on long-time residents in areas like Liberty City, with one speaker citing the Okeechobee Metrorail station project as an example of inadequate accessibility. A scrivener's error regarding the commission district for the Allapattah community resource center facility improvement was corrected from District 2 to District 3.
