Miami-Dade Public Housing and Community Development administers approximately 19,000 Housing Choice Vouchers. Chapter 11A protects voucher holders from landlord discrimination, and PHCD pays the housing assistance payment directly to landlords each month.
Miami-Dade PHCD operates the federal Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program, with a wait list that historically opens only every several years. Tenants pay roughly 30% of adjusted income toward rent; PHCD pays the balance up to a Payment Standard tied to local fair-market rents. Landlords must pass a Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspection before lease-up and re-inspections occur every one to two years. Chapter 11A makes refusal to participate based solely on voucher status a discriminatory housing practice for landlords with three or more units. PHCD also administers VASH, FUP, and Mainstream voucher programs.
Refusing voucher tenants at properties with three or more units violates Ch. 11A; failing HQS inspections after 30-day cure ends housing assistance payments.
