DEMOLITION OF ARTHUR MAYS VILLAS PUBLIC HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

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

Miami-Dade County Commission 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 is authorized, with a demolition contract to be competitively selected through the MCC 7360 Plan for up to $2,000,000. 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 resident meetings since 2018 and plans further outreach. 13 units are currently occupied and will be relocated upon HUD approval. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to execute necessary documents with HUD. The Housing Committee forwarded the item to the Board with a favorable recommendation.
