Committee members subsequently moved, seconded and approved an amended agenda by voice vote.

The county attorney told the committee that Exhibit A to item 2c and Attachment E (the Miami‑Dade County rental regulatory agreement) for item 2g were missing from the clerk’s packet and should have been handed out. The attorney also read an amendment to the amended and restated ground lease attached to a resolution: scrivener errors would be corrected (e.g., misspelling and replacing the word “developer” with “tenant” where indicated, and updating department initials from PHCD to HCD). The read amendment also added a new subsection providing that “after the expiration of the tax credit compliance period, the tenant shall convert a maximum of 49 units to be unrestricted market rate units with no limitation on maximum AMI,” and that “in no event will these units reduce the 191 RAD units.” The attorney said those and other scrivener corrections would be made in the lease text.

A motion to set the agenda as amended was made and seconded; the committee approved the amended agenda by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The county attorney then noted that item 3d had been removed from the agenda.

During the public‑comment period, Sarah Harold of the law firm Bills and Sundberg spoke on behalf of the YWCA of South Florida in support of an amendment to a restrictive covenant to allow affordable housing, and offered to answer commissioners’ questions about plans for the property. Renita Holmes, director of Wave of Women in Public Housing Education Finance and Development, said she lives in a high‑violence area and urged the committee to consider frontline experiences when addressing safety and housing, noting gaps in policing response and in access to safe housing.

The meeting later concluded after a motion to adjourn.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Miami-Dade County - Housing Committee - May 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At a May 2025 Miami‑Dade County Housing Committee meeting, the county attorney identified missing exhibits and read substantive and scrivener corrections to an amended and restated ground lease; the committee approved an amended agenda by voice vote.","taxTitle","Miami-Dade County, Florida","taxId",2864,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6557836,"Miami-Dade Commission for Women urges two new domestic‑violence centers, maternal‑health outreach after CEDAW report",311,143000,454000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3286710-06ee541cc31dc1eb9293c7b660c91c8b&start=143&end=454","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3286710-06ee541cc31dc1eb9293c7b660c91c8b/thumbnail_143000.jpg","/articles/6557836/Miami-Dade-County/Florida/Miami-Dade-Commission-for-Women-urges-two-new-domesticviolence-centers-maternalhealth-outreach-after-CEDAW-report","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557836-2afd49e3502136cf0825fb2ebb0fc4d3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170794&Signature=ldhEYDJ6cYAmI9DZjwGS5qhLK440tF5Mclzv4LYA0IyVlO30AuPVyJisBO-Xdban40ABSGIxgmPtpTD0~3hkSGVvfKoPCGwSdYKh0eeUHQffzRCAJkQ6vLFUGsWT47GhD~rdMsLzsu9ckYP7lACkbCX9MvT6kssvoYqAOr6tPsfVrEQlAPGKfhnEXnwrVqLnd6CtlhcmiCC0iQDwJ-pyqNGjxa9oIx1GLu1fh67FTJOifKFwCOx1XvWdOvYFz5xFFMUTqgoVpb19K5mQlVoNLPp47vE5qCiFKQCL1QLiUl4SDYAdwgSNpQ7tJc~OyLCRK9ObVQ1knhjsevcev7Dnbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a Miami‑Dade County Housing Committee meeting in May 2025, the Miami‑Dade County Commission for Women presented its annual status report under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and recommended the county authorize two new domestic‑violence centers, fund a maternal‑health fair and conduct a county workforce pay analysis.

The report, introduced by Josephine Novo, legislative chair and District 13 appointee to the Miami‑Dade County Commission for Women, said the county has seen an “84.7% increase” in domestic‑violence incidents, “over 300 more domestic violence cases” and “286 forcible” offenses in the last year, and recommended two new CVAC centers be established in underserved North and West parts of the county and promoted through a multimedia marketing campaign.

The recommendation matters, Commission for Women officials said, because the county’s data show gaps in prenatal and maternal care and persistent pay disparities that contribute to broader health and safety outcomes. “These services cannot do anybody any good if nobody knows they exist,” Josephine Novo said. “As of right now, we are lacking locations in the north and west parts of the county, underserving these populations and these women at need.”

Rose Martin, executive director of the Commission for Women, told the committee the commission follows the Cities for CEDAW blueprint and is working with partners such as Florida International University, the Human Rights Law Clinic and the Women’s Fund to build capacity and disaggregate data by ZIP code for each commissioner. “We just need, like, your partnership,” Martin said, adding that the commission is preparing outreach events including a disability resource fair for mothers and panels on violence against women.

On maternal health, the report cited partnership data with Florida International University that show only 57% of Black women receive adequate prenatal care and said Black maternal mortality has increased substantially in recent years; presenters said updated FIU figures showed the disparity rising from roughly three times to five times the mortality rate for Black women in childbirth, compared with other groups. The commission recommended the board authorize and fund a maternal health fair to bring local partners and services to residents.

On economic opportunity, the report said the county’s overall wage gap for full‑time female workers is about 18%, an increase since 2011, and that the county employee wage gap is about 16.7%. The report gave median earnings examples: $41,454 for full‑time women versus $50,577 for men, and county median pay of $64,522 for women versus $77,446 for men. The commission recommended the county conduct an analysis of the county workforce to determine why pay disparities exist and to develop a roadmap for internal solutions.

Committee members responded with support and follow‑up questions. Vice Chair Gonzales and several commissioners offered to host outreach events in their districts and invited the commission to present disaggregated ZIP‑code data so each commissioner could see conditions in their area. A county attorney explained procedural options for formalizing the commission’s recommendations, including bringing proposals to the full board or sponsoring items through committee channels.

The Commission for Women noted the county adopted an ordinance in September 2015 that incorporated CEDAW principles locally; the board frequently publishes an annual Status of Women report in partnership with Florida International University and the commissioner auditor’s office. The presenters said the commission would continue outreach and return with additional materials and proposed resolutions following a proposed conference and stakeholder meetings.

The presentation concluded without a committee vote; the commission framed its proposals as recommendations and requests for county partners and commissioners to sponsor or request follow‑up actions.","At a May 2025 Miami‑Dade County Housing Committee meeting, the Miami‑Dade County Commission for Women presented a CEDAW-based status report and recommended two new domestic‑violence (CVAC) centers, a maternal‑health fair and a county workforce pay analysis to address wage disparities and rising maternal mortality among Black women.","actionData","errors"]
