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. This plan establishes a site-based waiting list for Helen Sawyer Plaza Assisted Living Facility and standardizes admission preferences using a weighted point system, prioritizing groups like homeless referrals and veterans. It also updates demolition and disposition activities, including provisions for vacant land at former South Miami Gardens and potential de minimis exceptions for certain units. Revisions to Project-Based Voucher resident rights and participation standards are included, aligning with HUD notices. The plan also addresses potential RAD/Section 18 blend options for Naranja, Arthur Mays Village, and Annie Coleman #14 and #16, and revises project configurations for several developments including Rainbow Village/Gwen Cherry, Culmer Place/Culmer Gardens Phase 1, Newberg/New Haven Gardens, Gwen Cherry 06 and 22, Victory Homes, Arthur Mays, Naranja, Pine Island I & II, Modello II (vacant land), Kline Nunn, Little River Plaza, and Little River Terrace. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to submit the plan and any necessary revisions to HUD for approval. Public comment included concerns from Renita Holmes regarding Housing Quality Standards enforcement for residents with disabilities and inspector training/corruption, warning of potential litigation if not addressed. The department addressed concerns about the preference system, data collection, and the de minimis provision.
