"GOULDS, Fla. – In just two weeks, Brenda Thomas will be one of the residents moving into the new affordable housing community of Meridian Point by Preservation of Affordable Housing, or POAH.
“I thank you guys for making it possible to have a new start,” said Thomas.
“This is part of the HUD investment plan and we are in partnership with a wonderful national organization called POAH,” added Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.
The new housing is located near a transit hub, the county bus stop at the Southwest 216th Street Station near the intersection of US-1, in south Miami-Dade’s historic Goulds neighborhood.
“It is also a transit-oriented project,” said Levine Cava. “It is right next to a transit line, it is near retail. It is not just about the house, it is about an investment in the neighborhood and a lifestyle.”
“My spirit is uplifted on a day like today to see something beautiful that comes online that is going to help many, many families and help to transform a neighborhood,” she added."
