About Us

The Miami-Dade County Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) serves as the County’s official Public Housing Agency (PHA) and Community Development (CD) office. As the County’s housing department, we are responsible for the development, preservation, and operation of housing and community development programs that support residents across Miami-Dade County. 

In our role as the PHA, HCD manages approximately 6,500 public housing units and provides rental assistance to more than 19,000 households through the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, commonly known as Section 8. In addition, the Department owns and operates more than 1,700 non-public housing units throughout the County, expanding access to affordable housing options beyond traditional public housing. 

Our housing portfolio also includes assisted living facilities for elderly residents, ensuring seniors have access to safe, supportive environments, as well as self-sufficiency programs designed to help residents build economic stability and long-term independence.
