Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava delivered her annual State of the County address, outlining her vision for equitable economic growth and how she will continue to invest in the infrastructure and people power necessary for a thriving future. Mayor Cava’s top priorities are economic and workforce development, affordable housing, small businesses, youth, broadband access, public safety, and climate.
Like many other regions facing an affordability crisis, Mayor Cava highlighted the many housing solutions that her administration has put forth over the past two years. This includes her emergency rental assistance program that has helped over 22,000 families, adopting a Tentant’s Bill of Rights, launching an office of housing advocacy, and a new condo and HOA online dashboard to improve transparency.
“As we look back and look ahead, there is still work to do – but Miami-Dade, we’ve proven that we’re ready – and we can tackle any challenge tomorrow brings when we stand together,” said Mayor Cava.
In her remarks, she also highlighted the launch of the Miami-Dade Innovation Authority, a nonprofit which will provide grants to companies working to solve pressing local challenges in climate, health, housing, transit, and more.
