South Florida Community Development Coalition Awards for Excellence in Community Development acknowledges outstanding achievement within the community development field in Miami-Dade County. Nominees may be self-nominated or nominated by others. The awards program was created by South Florida Community Development Coalition to highlight and celebrate exemplary professionals, practitioners, organizations and projects in the community development field. The evening will be a “Who’s Who of Community Development.”

The support of the honorees has enabled South Florida Community Development Coalition to continue to expand the capacity of community development practitioners to develop affordable housing and economic opportunities for Miami-Dade County’s low and moderate income families and neighborhoods in South Florida.
