Miami-Dade County will receive $20 million as part of the $208 million
in federal funding going to the state of Florida to help neighborhoods
hit hardest by the housing crisis. The funding was announced Wednesday
by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and is part of the $1
billion being handed out nationally. Broward County will receive $27
million, and Palm Beach County will get $11.2 million from the
government. “The key is to be smart with what we do with the rest of
this money,” said HUD Secretary Ron Sims. [SFBJ]
