The City of Miami has a big opportunity to bring affordable housing and more green space to Allapattah now - we can’t miss this chance!
At a time when Miami is the most expensive housing market in the country, the City is planning to redevelop 19 acres of city-owned land near Jackson Health System, known as the GSA lot. We’re asking the City Commissioners to put the community at the center of their decision-making and to consider their views as they ask for proposals for redeveloping it. 


Here’s what we’re asking of City Commissioners: We want to make sure the city’s Request for Proposal for developers will: 

• Prioritize the needs of residents, and include:
  • Publicly-accessible park and green space and
  • Housing priced for the current neighborhood residents, something we’ve seen done successfully in other neighborhoods.
    
    
• Include an Allapattah resident on the evaluation committee;
• Require a second phase of community engagement to create a Community Benefits Agreement, which will outline how the community will benefit from the project. 
  
  
  

Public land belongs to the people, and the people should have a say in how it’s developed.
