ANNUAL PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY PLAN

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-476-26, approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Public Housing Agency Plan. The plan includes establishing a site-based waiting list for Helen Sawyer Plaza Assisted Living Facility, standardizing admission preferences with a weighted point system (e.g., homeless direct referrals 100 points, disabled 50 points), and updating demolition/disposition activities. It also revises Project-Based Voucher (PBV) resident rights and participation standards and allows for de minimis exceptions for demolition under certain conditions. The plan was submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for approval. Public comment included concerns from Renita Holmes regarding Housing Quality Standards (HQS) enforcement for residents with disabilities, citing potential corruption or inadequate training of inspectors and risks to residents. Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc. also provided comments, which were largely addressed by existing policies or targeted for future initiatives.
