ARTHUR MAYS VILLAS, NARANJA, MODELLO II, AND PINE ISLAND PHD

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

This legislative item, File Number 260775, concerns a status report on the Arthur Mays Villas, Naranja, Modello II, and Pine Island Public Housing Developments, and the Kline Nunn, Little River Plaza, and Little River Terrace Public Housing Developments. The original directive was to negotiate lease and development agreements with SG South Miami-Dade Ventures, LLC (SG) and PCSH Little River Development, LLC (PCSH) without a competitive process. However, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) denied the County's request to proceed without a competitive process on March 13, 2026. Consequently, the County is unable to move forward with the direct award of development rights as initially planned. The document recommends initiating a competitive process to resolve the HUD denial and satisfy federal procurement requirements. The Little River developments are part of a $15,000,000.00 grant from the State of Florida, Department of Environmental Protection for resiliency upgrades, addressing 232 public housing units vulnerable to flooding and sea level rise.
