Federal Grant Award Summary

The County of Miami-Dade, through its Housing and Community Development Division, received a formula grant award of $993,673.00 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office under the Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) program, effective January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2032. This award provides operating subsidies to support the day-to-day operational and maintenance expenses of public housing units serving the Miami-Dade County area, consistent with Section 9 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937, as amended.

The funding supports a comprehensive range of public housing operations, including property management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy cost management, resident supportive services, insurance, debt service, and administrative program implementation expenses. These operating funds are essential to maintaining adequate service delivery and minimum operating reserves for the Miami-Dade Housing Authority's public housing inventory, which serves approximately 1.59 million residents across 902,436 households, including elderly residents and families with children. The award represents Miami-Dade County's ongoing participation in the $5 billion national Public Housing Operating Fund program, which provides operating subsidies to approximately 6,000 housing authorities nationwide.
