06.09.2026 - Housing Committee Meeting

The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners Housing Committee convened on June 9, 2026, to discuss several housing-related agenda items, including affordable housing initiatives and the use of public land for development. Public speakers expressed strong opinions on agenda item 2C, which involved the proposed sale of public land to a private developer for $10, despite the land's estimated value of $3.4 to $4 million. Concerns were raised about the adequacy of affordable housing commitments tied to the land transfer, the potential displacement of Black and brown communities, and the need for transparency and community benefits. The committee also addressed funding allocations for community development block grants and home investment partnership programs. A motion to approve agenda item 1G1, related to public hearing on housing projects, passed unanimously. The meeting highlighted community demands for equitable housing policies, accessible affordable housing, and responsible stewardship of public assets.
