Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava pledged to spend more money to tackle affordable housing-related issues that were raised by a coalition of more than 40 interfaith congregations, according to coalition leaders.
Levine Cava addressed the coalition on Monday night during its annual PACT 2025 Nehemiah Action Assembly at Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church in south Miami-Dade. The event drew more than 1,000 people. PACT stands for “People Acting for Community Together.”
In a statement issued by PACT President Rev. Sherlain Stevens on Tuesday, the coalition said Levine Cava told them she would commit $3 million of funding in the upcoming 2025-2026 budget year for the Eviction Diversion Program and champion “a plan to guarantee it as a permanent program.”
