10.14.2026 - Housing Committee Meeting

The Miami-Dade BCC Housing Committee met on October 15, 2026. The committee unanimously approved an amended FY 2026–27 Annual Public Housing Agency Plan, including corrected public-hearing notices, and authorized its submission to HUD. The chair said the amendment would let the Housing Department explore strategies to preserve and improve public housing without additional fiscal impact. The Housing Department director clarified that the plan’s reference to redevelopment was intended to prepare a property for the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) process, which could bring in funds for renovations and address management issues; he said there was no intent to redevelop the property. Public comments raised questions about transparency, possible demolition language, waiting-list provisions, resident maintenance concerns, and RAD plans. No contract award, vendor selection, or specific procurement was identified.

The committee also unanimously approved an amendment to the FY 2025–29 Consolidated Plan’s Citizen Participation Plan to add a public hearing on the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. The chair said this would provide residents another opportunity to comment on housing and community-development programs and resource administration. The agenda included additional items and a deferral, and members discussed co-sponsorship of item 3E, but the transcript provides no related spending or procurement details.
