Housing and Community Development News and Updates

Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez recently announced his plan to reduce the number of County departments.

"“The Public Housing and Community Development Department combines the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Miami-Dade Public Housing Agency and the Infill function of the Department of General Services Administration. This department will administer all of the County's housing programs including rental housing, affordable housing, rehabilitation and revitalization. The combination of these departments will eliminate duplication of administrative support functions and field staff, and as a result, reduced administrative costs will allow the County to dedicate a larger percentage of resources to providing quality affordable housing."
