Resident says Southwest Miami-Dade housing applications favor certain groups; calls for fairness
Summary
A resident told the commission he has experienced homelessness and alleged uneven application of housing placement in Southwest Miami-Dade, urging the county to address perceived disparities in approvals and allocation.
Steve Clear told commissioners during the public-comment period that he has been homeless since losing his home to the county and has applied for housing for nearly a decade without success. He said there appears to be a discrepancy in how applications from Southwest Miami-Dade residents are handled and urged the county to rectify what he described as an unequal application of housing resources.
Clear provided his address and asked that the county examine application practices to ensure housing placements are fair across the county. He said he would have more to say on the subject under another agenda item but used his two-minute comment to raise the concern.
The transcript records the comment but does not show a staff response or a formal direction in the excerpt provided.
