About this story
The Miami-Dade Economic Advocacy Trust launched Welcome H.O.M.E. to create a pathway to ownership for eligible working families. Developed in partnership with JL Brown Development Corporation, the initial program covers three newly constructed homes. Prospective applicants are encouraged to attend an information session before applying. Applications will be accepted online, with one submission permitted per household, and qualified applicants will enter a public lottery determining the order of selection.
Status and timeline
An in-person information session was held August 20, 2026. A virtual session is scheduled for August 26. Online applications open September 1 and close September 30, 2026, or when 200 qualified applications have been received. Three newly constructed homes will be allocated through a public lottery among qualified applicants.
Design highlights
The publicly released announcement focuses on ownership access and selection rather than architectural design. Home designs, precise sites, architects, specifications, and sustainability standards were not identified.
