Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust Receives Board of County Commission Support for the Acquisition and Renovation of the La Quinta Hotel for Senior Citizens

“The Homeless Trust is proud to be part of affordable housing solutions in Miami-Dade County. We are grateful to Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, Commissioner Eileen Higgins, and members of the Board of County Commissioners who voted in favor of acquiring and renovating a hotel in South Miami-Dade to provide units of housing to struggling seniors. We want to ensure that vulnerable individuals in their later years can age with dignity. We are also steadfast in our commitment to be a good neighbor. We will work diligently with our partners to meet a critical need in our community and improve the quality of life for all.

The timing of today’s decision is critical. We are on an urgent mission to humanely assist those on our streets as a new law prohibiting public camping and sleeping goes into effect. We are moving with urgency and on a mission to end homelessness in Miami-Dade County.”

- Ron Book, Chair, Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust
