Miami-Dade committee approves FY2025–29 consolidated plan and FY2025 action plan for HUD submission
Summary
The Miami-Dade County Housing Committee approved a resolution to submit the FY2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and the FY2025 Action Plan, which include funding recommendations for CDBG, HOME and ESG programs, after a public comment urging more community input.
The Miami-Dade County Housing Committee approved a resolution to submit the fiscal year 2025–2029 Consolidated Plan and the fiscal year 2025 Action Plan, which contain funding recommendations for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs, for submittal to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The committee opened a public hearing on the item, heard public comment from former state representative Roy Hardiman, and then closed the hearing. Hardiman urged the committee to delay action so the community could review and comment, citing concerns about public housing, grocery access and redevelopment impacts in predominantly Black neighborhoods including Liberty City. The committee then moved the resolution and approved it by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: The consolidated plan and annual action plan guide how federal CDBG, HOME and ESG funds are prioritized and distributed locally. Approval of the plan sends Miami-Dade’s funding recommendations to HUD for the upcoming program year and the multi-year strategy period.
Details: The committee chair read the item title aloud before public comment and the vote. Representative Roy Hardiman said the materials were distributed to the Community Action and Human Services board the night before and argued the community needed more time to comment. The committee proceeded to close the public hearing and approved the resolution by voice vote. The transcript shows no recorded roll-call results or dollar amounts attached to the motion in the committee record.
Next steps: With committee approval, the resolution and attached plans will be forwarded to HUD as the county’s submission for CDBG, HOME and ESG funding decisions for the indicated program year and planning period.
