DEMOLITION OF ARTHUR MAYS VILLAS PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners deferred a resolution authorizing the submission of a demolition application to HUD for the Arthur Mays Villas Public Housing Development. The project involves 147 units located within a site bounded by SW 214th Street (North), SW 113th Avenue (East), SW 216th Street (South), and SW 114th Court (West). Subject to HUD approval, the demolition of the site is authorized, along with the competitive selection and award of a demolition contract through the MCC 7360 Plan for up to $2,000,000. The resolution also authorizes the County Mayor or designee to execute necessary amendments and agreements with HUD. The decision was deferred, with the last agenda date being 7/21/2026. The Housing Committee forwarded the item with a favorable recommendation on 6/9/2026. The physical needs assessment indicated rehabilitation costs exceeding HUD thresholds, and some buildings have received unsafe structure violation notices. The Department of Housing and Community Development has conducted multiple outreach meetings with residents and plans further engagement with community stakeholders through the Goulds Forward Choice Neighborhoods Initiative. Thirteen units are currently occupied and will be relocated upon HUD approval.
