Housing Committee · 2026-09-09 · resolution

The document is a legislative item for a resolution approving the Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Five-Year Public Housing Agency Plan (PHA Plan) for Miami-Dade County. The plan covers Public Housing, Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), and other federally subsidized programs administered by the County through the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The plan includes substantial modifications: HCD received multiple awards under the Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) program; the County is creating a County-controlled 501(c)(3) entity (Miami-Dade Attainable Housing Corporation, Inc.) to participate in redevelopment of public housing and other County-owned housing; and HCD intends to utilize County-owned Public Housing land for developing affordable workforce housing and homeownership opportunities. The plan was made available for public review and comments during a 45-day comment period from May 20, 2026, through July 3, 2026. Two meetings with the Resident Advisory Board (RAB) were held: an in-person meeting on June 1, 2026, and a virtual meeting via Zoom on June 15, 2026. The Housing Committee forwarded the item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation following a public hearing on September 9, 2026. The BCC agenda date is October 6, 2026. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to submit the plan to HUD for final approval no later than December 1, 2026, and to make necessary revisions subject to the plan's 'Significant Amendment and Substantial Deviation' definition. The item was introduced on August 19, 2026. The sponsor is Marleine Bastien. The file number is 261477. The approval of this item will not result in a fiscal impact to the County's General Fund.
