Creating and Maintaining Quality Housing in the Liberty City Community

Becoming a first-time homeowner is part of the American Dream – and the Liberty City Trust is happy to do all it can to make this dream a reality for you.​ Assisting long-time residents in maintaining quality housing in the community is also critical for us.  Enabling them to upgrade their properties to be in code compliance and resilient to our changing climate in South Florida. 

The Liberty City Trust works with partners such as the City of Miami, Miami-Dade County and other entities to invest in and create housing opportunities for new and current residents.
