CITY OF DORAL, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING THE SOUTH DADE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MILITARY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE'S
ESTABLISHMENT OF A MILITARY HOUSING RENTAL PROGRAM
WITHIN SOUTH DADE TO ASSIST ACTIVE MILITARY MEMBERS,
RESERVISTS, VETERANS, AND THEIR FAMILIES TO OBTAIN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING; PROVIDING FOR TRANSMITTAL; AND
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE
WHEREAS, military personnel relocating to South Dade have expressed a desire to
live in the City of Doral however, the combination of most landlords requiring three-month
rental deposit, the added cost of utility deposits, and other moving expenses exceed military
families' monthly budget and the military's limited moving allowance; and
WHEREAS, the lack of available affordable housing and the high costs of moving
( known as the " affordability crisis") has forced military personnel considering relocation
to Miami-Dade County to obtain housing outside the City of Doral to areas into Broward
County; and
WHEREAS, the City of Doral is the ideal place for military members and their families
to live, work and play; and
WHEREAS, the South Dade Chamber of Commerce and its Military Affairs
Committee("MAC") are working with the Family Readiness Directors at our local military
institutions to establish a Military Rental Property Program ("MRPP" in South Dade; and
WHEREAS, renting to military personnel is a patriotic and gratifying activity and
the rental committees can take action to be " military -friendly" and " military-ready
landlords by offering a variety of affordable housing solutions such as discounted
monthly rent rates; lower initial deposits; flexible lease terms; reduced application and
administration fees; and expedited processing of applications and background checks;
