5 YEAR PHA PLAN

Housing Committee · 2026-09-09 · resolution

The document is a legislative item for Miami-Dade County, File Number 261477, a Resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Five-Year Public Housing Agency Plan (PHA Plan). The Plan applies only to Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and other federally subsidized programs administered by the County through the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Plan does not relate to programs administered by other housing authorities in the County such as those in the cities of Hialeah, Miami Beach, and Homestead. The impact of the Plan is countywide. The Plan outlines revised goals and objectives to expand the supply of assisted housing. Central to this revision is the establishment of the Miami-Dade Attainable Housing Corporation, Inc., a County-controlled not-for-profit entity, to take a more direct and cost-effective role in the construction, rehabilitation, and management of both multifamily and single-family residential projects. HCD also plans to develop vacant and underutilized County-owned public housing land for the purpose of increasing the stock of affordable and workforce housing for low-income families, while replacing the number of original public housing units. HCD will continue to redevelop, rehabilitate, and modernize existing public housing units, leveraging programs including Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) funding, the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, Section 18/RAD Blends, and Restore-Rebuild (formerly known as Faircloth-to-RAD). The Plan was made 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 BCC with a favorable recommendation following a public hearing on 9/9/2026. The item is scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners agenda on 10/6/2026. The recommendation is to approve the Plan, authorize the County Mayor or designee to submit the Plan to HUD for final approval no later than December 1, 2026, and authorize the County Mayor or designee 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. The document does not state a specific street address, parcel, acreage, number of units, or dollar amount for a specific construction project.
