DEMOLITION OF ARTHUR MAYS VILLAS PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Housing Committee · 2026-06-09 · 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 has conducted multiple outreach meetings with residents and plans further engagement with community stakeholders through the Goulds Forward Choice Neighborhoods Initiative. 13 units are currently occupied and will be relocated upon HUD approval.
