Committee approves FY2025–29 consolidated plan and FY2025 action plan for HUD funding
Summary
A Miami‑Dade County committee voted to approve submission of the fiscal year 2025–2029 consolidated plan and the fiscal year 2025 action plan, including CDBG, HOME and ESG funding recommendations, to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development after a public hearing and a brief public comment from community representatives.
A Miami‑Dade County committee voted by voice to approve a resolution to submit the fiscal year 2025–2029 consolidated plan and the fiscal year 2025 action plan with community development block grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships, and emergency solutions grant (ESG) funding recommendations to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The plans and funding recommendations were read into the record at the committee public hearing and then moved for approval. The public hearing was closed before the voice vote; the resolution passed on an oral “aye” vote.
Nut graf: The consolidated plan and annual action plan determine how federal HUD funds will be allocated in Miami‑Dade County for housing, community development and homelessness response. Approval signals the county’s intent to submit those funding priorities to HUD for the fiscal year cycle described in the documents.
During the public‑hearing portion of the meeting, former state representative Roy Hardeman, who said he chairs the Bridal City Advisory Board and the Liberty City Democratic Club, urged more community input on recommendations he said were prepared without adequate local representation. “FIU can’t speak for the black community,” Hardeman said in his remarks. He said a recent report had been delivered to a local board overnight and asked the committee to allow more community review.
The record shows the committee moved the resolution after the public hearing and approved it by voice vote. The motion and vote were taken without a roll call, and no formal tally of yes/no votes was recorded in the transcript.
The resolution as read into the record names the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as the recipient of the consolidated plan and action plan. The transcript did not provide a resolution number or a detailed funding breakdown in the public portion of the meeting; those specifics are contained in the consolidated plan and action‑plan documents submitted to HUD.
Ending: The county clerk’s office will include the approved consolidated plan and action plan in the county’s submittal to HUD; the timeline for HUD review and any subsequent public notice in Miami‑Dade was not specified in the committee record.
