Workforce Housing Incentive Program (WHIP)

This is for the new Section 8 Landlords only.

Applicants must be landlords who are not currently involved with the program.

Each applicant will be able to receive a one-time $2,000 award upon execution of a lease with a Section 8 HCV household, and a housing assistance contract with the Public Housing and Community Development Department.

The landlord must not be receiving a subsidy for that unit from other government programs.

The program will provide for up to 2,250 incentive awards.

The unit conversion component of WHIP will work with landlords and unit owners with properties in Miami-Dade County that provide quality affordable and workforce housing to households at 30% - 140% Area Median Income (AMI).
