1. REDUCE HOUSING COST BURDEN FOR MIAMI-DADE HOUSEHOLDS

Half of Miami-Dade County households are cost-burdened by housing, meaning they pay over 30% of their income on shelter (MHFA, 2020). This crisis has been worsened by the coronavirus pandemic, as thousands of Miami-Dade County households face foreclosure and eviction. We believe that housing is a human right, and that creating housing stability will lead to improved economic stability in our region.

2. IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES TO PROMOTE MULTIPLE BENEFITS

It is important to preserve the cultural heritage and historical significance of Miami-Dade's vibrant communities. In preventing community displacement, we can also promote solutions that provide environmental and economic benefits.
