“As we enter a new age in public housing development, this RFP will position Miami-Dade County to better meet the needs of those in desperate need of affordable housing,” Mayor Carlos Giminez said. “As this initiative evolves, it will ensure one-for-one replacement of existing public housing units, the building of new affordable housing on under-developed land, and the creation of jobs during rehabilitation and construction.” [SFBJ]
