Miami-Dade County Government: Learn About Incentives For Building Workforce Housing At Monthly Workshops

Press release from the Miami-Dade County Government:

December 15, 2021

The Miami-Dade County Workforce Housing Development Program is a voluntary program that provides density bonuses and other incentives for the development of workforce housing. New changes to the Miami-Dade County Zoning Code Ordinance No. 19-52 have now made it possible for other Miami-Dade County affordable or workforce housing programs to utilize the Workforce Housing Program incentives. Eligible programs include the Infill Housing Initiative Program, the Documentary Surtax Program, the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP), HOME, and housing created in accordance with sections 125.379 and 125.38, Florida Statutes. The Departments of Regulatory and Economic Resources and Public Housing and Community Development offer workshops on the third Friday of every month to explain how developers of affordable and workforce housing can benefit from these incentives, which include:

• Administrative reviews and approvals
• Flexible intensity and design standards
• Provisions for non-conforming residential lots
