Miami Housing Solutions Lab

ABOUT

The Miami Housing Solutions Lab was created by the University of Miami (UM)’s Office of Civic and Community Engagement (CCE) to provide resources, tools and data related to affordable housing and community development in the Miami metro area. This platform provides community groups, planners, policy makers and affordable housing developers with information on local housing needs as well as housing policies that prevent displacement and promote affordable housing.
