The Miami-Dade County Housing Committee's November 10 packet includes a draft resolution that would place two surplus county parcels on the affordable-housing inventory and authorize their conveyance for $10. The parcels are at 1801 Ali Baba Avenue in Opa-locka and 15679 NW 38th Court in Miami Gardens. The $10 is the proposed price for the land transfer to the developer.

Under the draft, completed homes would be sold to eligible very low-, low- or moderate-income households. Household income could not exceed 120% of area median income. The draft calls for development and sale within two years after the county deed is recorded, with a provision for the property to revert to the county if the deed conditions are not met.

The committee packet establishes that the item was on the November 10 agenda. Final approval and a recorded transfer have not been verified. The packet does not announce a buyer application period.
