Your rights

Miami-Dade County protects renters from source-of-income discrimination under County Code Chapter 11A — landlords generally cannot refuse you simply because you would pay with a Housing Choice Voucher. Florida has no statewide protection, so this right comes from county law and applies within Miami-Dade County.

Neighborhood

Brownsville sits in northwest Miami-Dade, served by Miami-Dade Transit bus routes and the Metrorail Brownsville station.

For current waitlist information, call PHCD at (786) 469-4100 or the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher office at (786) 654-8440, or visit miamidade.gov/housing. Applications are free.
