Community Redevelopment

Community Redevelopment and Municipal Services Division

The Community Redevelopment and Municipal Services Division (CRMSD) of the Office of Management and Budget is responsible for the oversight and management of Community Redevelopment Areas within Miami-Dade County.

Part 3 of Chapter 163 Of Florida State Statutes, known as the “Community Redevelopment Act of 1969” authorized local governments to establish Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRA) to revitalize areas designated as slum and blight.

Primary Community Redevelopment objectives as defined by the legislation are:

• To address the physical, social, and economic problems associated with slum and blighted areas
• To encourage local government to improve the physical environment (i.e. buildings, streets, parks, utilities) through rehabilitation, conservation, or clearance/rehabilitation
• To convey local community redevelopment agencies the power to expend public funds as a means to improve slum and blighted areas
• To eliminate substandard housing conditions and to provide adequate housing to residents of low or moderate income, particularly the elderly
