These include multifamily apartment buildings, quadplexes, duplexes, and accessory dwelling units.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/miamimovershub.com\/?p=886\">Tax Collector announces reform of tax certificate sale process<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The alliance brings together public, philanthropic, nonprofit and development-sector partners to create a more coordinated pathway for small-scale affordable housing development in Miami-Dade County. Participating stakeholders include Miami-Dade County, City of Miami, community-based organizations, The Miami Foundation, Health Foundation of South Florida and Enterprise Community Partners.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative includes a new online intake and information portal, www.buildaffordablemiami.org, the first step for a local property owner or emerging developers to connect to the alliance\u2019s resources, which include technical assistance, workshops, and development services to help them navigate the entire development process, from predevelopment through construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMiami\u2019s future growth has to include the communities that built Miami in the first place,\u201d said Annie Lord, executive director, Miami Homes for All. \u201cYou can\u2019t tear out the roots and still be Miami. The people, neighborhoods and cultural communities that shaped this city are part of what makes Miami economically dynamic and globally unique. This initiative is about creating pathways for longtime residents, nonprofits, local landowners and mission-aligned emerging developers to participate in that growth instead of being displaced by it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The alliance was developed following several years of work alongside local property owners navigating the affordable housing development process. Organizers say the effort is intended to simplify and coordinate what can otherwise be a fragmented and difficult process for first-time or small-scale developers, whether they are breaking ground on a new build or rehabilitating an existing structure. Support spans the full development arc, from zoning and financing to construction, with each participant receiving a personalized roadmap for their project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes this effort unique is that we are connecting the different pieces that property owners typically have to navigate on their own,\u201d said Lisa Martinez, director of Small-Scale Development for Miami Homes for All. \u201cWe\u2019re creating a coordinated entry point where landowners can better understand their options, connect with trusted support systems and begin exploring what development could look like for their property and community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This program is expanding countywide, but initially focused on neighborhoods experiencing significant displacement pressures and rapid gentrification, including Little Haiti, Allapattah, Brownsville, Liberty City, North Miami and Overtown.<\/p>\n<p>Among the early projects supported through the initiative are a four-unit rehabilitation project in Allapattah led by local property owner Vaughan Johnson and \u201cCasa Lynda,\u201d a planned 20-unit affordable housing development by local landowner Lynda Harris on a formerly vacant lot.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers say the alliance is designed not only to support affordable housing production, but also to help local owners remain invested in the neighborhoods they helped shape.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/miamimovershub.com\/?p=885\">Tax Collector on Property Tax<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information about the Small-Scale Affordable Development Alliance or to explore participation opportunities, visit www.buildaffordablemiami.org.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Miami Homes for All<\/strong><br \/>\nFounded in 1985, Miami Homes For All\u2019s mission has been to ensure that everyone in Miami-Dade has a safe, affordable place to call home.<\/p>\n<p>We are especially concerned with households earning less than $75,000 per year, because we\u2019re missing over 90,000 units priced for those households.
