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

Miami-Dade County's Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-476-26, approving the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Annual Public Housing Agency Plan. This plan, submitted by the Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department, includes policy updates such as a site-based waiting list for Helen Sawyer Plaza Assisted Living Facility and a standardized weighted preference system for housing programs, prioritizing groups like homeless referrals and veterans. The plan also addresses demolition and disposition activities, including the potential use of a 'de minimis' exception for certain units, and updates Project-Based Voucher (PBV) resident rights. Public comment included concerns from Renita Holmes regarding Housing Quality Standards (HQS) enforcement for residents with disabilities and inspector training, with a warning of potential litigation if corrective actions were not taken. The department addressed these concerns and others raised by Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc. by explaining existing policies and future initiatives.
