Housing Committee · 2026-09-09 · resolution

Miami-Dade County legislative item File Number 261477 is a Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Five-Year Public Housing Agency Plan (PHA Plan) for the Miami-Dade County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Plan applies only to Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and other federally subsidized programs administered by the County through HCD, with countywide impact. It does not relate to programs administered by other housing authorities in the cities of Hialeah, Miami Beach, and Homestead. The Plan includes substantial modifications: HCD received multiple awards under the Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) program; the County is creating a County-controlled 501(c)(3) entity, the Miami-Dade Attainable Housing Corporation, Inc., to participate in redevelopment of public housing and other County-owned housing developments; and HCD intends to utilize County-owned Public Housing land for developing affordable workforce housing and homeownership opportunities. The Plan was available for public review and comments during a 45-day comment period from May 20, 2026, through July 3, 2026. HCD held two meetings with the Resident Advisory Board (RAB): an in-person meeting on June 1, 2026, and a virtual meeting via Zoom on June 15, 2026. The Housing Committee forwarded the item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation following a public hearing on September 9, 2026. The BCC agenda date is October 6, 2026, agenda item number 8K1. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to submit the Plan to HUD for final approval no later than December 1, 2026, and to make necessary revisions subject to the Plan's 'Significant Amendment and Substantial Deviation' definition. The approval of this item will not result in a fiscal impact to the County's General Fund. The Prime Sponsor is Marleine Bastien. The Requester is Housing and Community Development.
