Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Five-Year Public Housing Agency Plan (PHA Plan) for Miami-Dade County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), after a public hearing, and authorizing the County Mayor or designee to submit the Plan to HUD for final approval, make necessary revisions subject to the Significant Amendment and Substantial Deviation definition, and submit revisions to HUD. The Plan covers Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and other federally subsidized programs administered by HCD, with countywide impact. The Plan was available for public review and comments during a 45-day comment period from May 20, 2026, through July 3, 2026.
