The concierge program was designed to streamline the process for affordable housing developments and other qualifying projects. Our goal is to expedite reviews, serve as one central point of contact for applicants and the city departments and work collaboratively to make these projects happen and deliver them into the market sooner. Once the projects are identified, we add them to our list. We start tracking them and we expedite the reviews. We work with the project teams and other city departments via our joint plan review meetings where we have everybody sit together in one room to address challenges in real time. Once the projects are ready for permitting, we encourage the applicants to reach out to us directly. We can even have a pre-submittal meeting where we look at the project before it goes into permitting. Once the project gets submitted, we start tracking it immediately and expediting the process. We continue working with projects through inspections and important milestones, including temporary certificates of occupancy and final certificates of occupancy. With the growing need for affordable housing here in Miami, this work is especially important to us. Our mission is to make the permitting process more streamlined, collaborative, and easier to navigate, remove roadblocks wherever we can, and ultimately help accelerate the delivery of these important projects to our community.
