Project-Based Voucher (PBV) program applications
Miami-Dade Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) is seeking applications from qualified developers and affordable housing operators to develop housing units for low-income families under the Section 8 Project Based Voucher Program (PBV) in a Target Area (TA) bounded by NW 7th Ave, NW 119th Street, NW 32nd Avenue and NW 36th Street, Miami, Florida.
The primary purpose of this allocation is to expedite the rental of units that are safe, decent and sanitary to low income families on the Section 8 wait list. PHCD prefers projects with units of two or more bedrooms.
Proposals received must be in full compliance with all requirements of Resolution R-1416-08, a copy of which is attached herein, including to location of units within the Expanded HOPE VI TA (as described by the boundaries above), and ensuring that former Scott/Carver residents are provided with right of first refusal to rent any Section 8 project based units within the TA.
Preference will be given to applications containing family units of 2 or more bedrooms. PHCD anticipates selecting proposals from multiple sites within the TA.
There is no minimum number of PBV units for an application to qualify; however, PBV assistance is generally limited to 25% of the total number of units in any given development. PHCD anticipates up to 500 total units awarded to multiple proposals received from this solicitation. Eligible units may exist, proposed rehabilitation or newly constructed within the TA.
