The Miami-Dade Public Housing Agency's Crime Reduction Initiative is an innovative approach to crime reduction and community empowerment involving a coordinated effort by local law enforcement, social service providers and the Miami-Dade Public Housing Agency.

The goal of the initiative is to reduce crime at MDPHA properties and provide long-term solutions to strengthen positive relationships between residents, management, police, and the community.
