With rent prices, property taxes, and insurance continuing to surge, Legal Services of Greater Miami (Legal Services) recently brought together a group of community leaders intent on finding solutions to Miami’s pressing housing problems that is putting pressure on low-income individuals, the workforce, and small businesses.

“Housing instability is affecting everyone in Miami in one way or another,” said Legal Services Executive Director Monica Vigues-Pitan. “These discussions are an opportunity to bring awareness in support of solutions and expand our understanding that we all play a role in resolving our community’s most pervasive issue.”
