- Miami-Dade County, through the Department of Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) is soliciting applications for its Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAH) Preservation Rehabilitation Loan Program to be funded with Documentary Stamp Surtax (Surtax) Program funds. Naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH) refers to unsubsidized privately owned residential properties that are lower in cost because they are older and usually poorly maintained. The NOAH Preservation Rehabilitation Loan Program provides resources for moderate rehabilitation to owners of existing single-family homes, duplexes and small or midsize rental housing in Miami-Dade County for the purpose of providing moderate rehabilitation. The goal is to preserve affordability by providing Miami-Dade County’s low- and moderate-income households with access to decent housing that is convenient to jobs, transportation, and essential services.PHCD invites you to participate in a virtual NOAH Roundtable discussion for the launch of the Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing Preservation Rehabilitation Loan Program.
