A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY TO ESTABLISH A PREFERENCE FOR MIAMI BEACH
RESIDENTS AND WORKERS FOR PRIORITY ACCESS TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS ACQUIRED FROM THE MIAMI
BEACH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION.
WHEREAS, the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation
("MBCDC") was founded in 1981 by the Miami Design Preservation League, initially
focusing on preservation before shifting to developing affordable housing for low-
income residents in the 1990s; and
WHEREAS, MBCDC acquired several affordable housing properties through
funding from private lenders and local municipalities, receiving substantial support from
the City of Miami Beach (the "City"), totaling over $28 million, for the acquisition and
rehabilitation of various multi-family housing properties; and
WHEREAS, however, MBCDC's financial struggles and compliance concerns
prompted a thorough review by the City resulting in the City assuming five properties
from MBCDC in 2014, addressing some financial insolvency issues; and
WHEREAS, additionally, the County conducted an audit in 2021 leading to the
proposal for Miami-Dade County to take over ownership and control of the entire
MBCDC property portfolio; and -
WHEREAS, this initiative aims to preserve the long-term affordability of the
properties, particularly given Miami-Dade County's current housing affordability
crisis; and
WHEREAS, on April 4, 2023, the County issued County Resolution No. 230469
approving terms of and authorizing the County Mayor to execute a Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA)with Miami Beach Community Development Corporation (MBCDC)
to take over ownership and control of the property portfolio of MBCDC; and
WHEREAS, the City recognizes the importance of providing housing
opportunities for residents, particularly those who have worked in the hospitality
industry and are approaching retirement; and
WHEREAS, the City urges Miami-Dade County to establish a preference for
Miami Beach residents and workers to have priority access to the acquired affordable
housing units in Miami Beach, as specific funding requirements and equal housing
opportunities may allow.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and
City Commission hereby urge Miami-Dade County to establish a preference for Miami
Beach residents and workers for priority access to affordable housing units acquired from
the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation.
