Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering approving funding recommendations totaling up to $750,000.00 for the Fiscal Year 2025-26 State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Homebuyer Education and Counseling Request for Applications (RFA).

These entities will provide homebuyer education and counseling services across northern, central, and southern Miami-Dade County. Two applications, Oasis of Hope Community Development Corporation, Inc. and Little Haiti Housing Association Inc.
