Miami-Dade approves $10 million for households at risk of losing housing
The initiative aims to support at least 1,000 households over three years; individual applications had not opened after approval.
Miami-Dade approved a $10 million allocation for households at risk of losing housing. Resolution R-888-26 was approved by the County Commission on October 20, 2026. Commissioner Marleine Bastien introduced the proposal leading to the measure.
The announced goal is to assist at least 1,000 households within three years. The figure applies to the initiative's full period across several fiscal years. The plan seeks to prevent housing loss among at-risk households.
Funding has two components. Seven million dollars corresponds to Destination: Home, also called Destination: Home SV in the description. The remaining $3 million would come from the local food-and-beverage tax.
Resources will flow through the Right at Home Homeless Prevention Initiative. The planned period covers fiscal years 2026-2027 through 2028-2029. That calendar places execution in a three-year framework matching the household target.
Individual applications were not yet open after approval. Authorization of funds therefore did not mean families could already seek assistance. The household goal and fiscal calendar describe the program's scope and period, while opening applications is a separate stage.
