Housing Justice in the face of climate change

WE ARE CURRENTLY FACING A HEALTH EMERGENCY

This pandemic has placed all of our citizens in harm’s way and is quickly becoming an economic crisis for many households. this emergency has and will continue to exacerbate the housing crisis that residents of South Florida have been fighting against for years.

Miami-Dade County’s low-income and working class residents need immediate assistance, as well as long-term solutions. This is not the first time Miami-Dade County has faced such a challenge, and it will not be the last. For example, due to climate change’s impacts on rising temperatures, mosquito-borne diseases will become more prevalent in south florida. Therefore, we demand the rapid implementation of the recommendations outlined in this report.
