Miami-Dade Code Chapter 33 §33-193.7 offers density bonuses to developers in unincorporated areas who provide workforce housing units affordable to households earning 65 to 140 percent of area median income.
The Workforce Housing Development Program (WHDP) under Code §33-193.7 allows additional residential density and reduced parking for projects in eligible zoning districts that include workforce units. Required workforce-unit set-asides typically range from 12.5 percent of total units, with affordability covenants of at least 30 years recorded against the property. Projects must comply with design standards comparable to market-rate units. Developers also leverage Florida Live Local Act bonuses (FL 166.04151) for sites zoned commercial or mixed-use. The Public Housing and Community Development Department monitors income certification and resale restrictions.
Failure to maintain workforce-unit covenants leads to penalties, demands for repayment of bonus value, and potential foreclosure under recorded restrictive covenants.
