WHY: According to a new analysis conducted by the University of Florida’s Shimberg Center for Housing Studies, Miami-Dade County has a severe challenge with access to housing options for low to middle income residents, being one of the country’s most expensive housing markets.
In addressing the housing crisis in Miami-Dade County, Anne Ray, Manager of the Florida Housing Data Clearinghouse at the Shimberg Center stated that, “Rents and home prices are out of reach for workers in the fastest-growing jobs in health care, hospitality, and logistics in Miami-Dade County. These employees can afford housing that costs $650 to 1,000 per month, which is nearly impossible to find in one of the country’s most expensive housing markets.”
The Healthy Housing Foundation, created in 2017 to address the rising housing epidemic happening across the country, has continued its commitment to access to housing options throughout South Florida, with the opening of Broward Village (Broward County), The Village at New River (Broward County) and other communities in development in Miami-Dade County.
