Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners amended Ordinance No. 01-47, specifically Section 17-124 of the Code of Miami-Dade County, Florida, relating to the Infill Housing Initiative Program.

An additional one-year extension may be granted in cases of declared emergencies, natural disasters, or other extraordinary circumstances, requiring a two-thirds vote. The amendment aims to promote accountability, ensure program efficiency, and expedite affordable housing production.
