Live Local: The Future of Affordable Housing in Florida's High-Opportunity Markets

As Florida continues to experience rapid growth, the challenge of creating housing options for residents across income levels has become one of the state's most pressing issues. The Live Local Act was designed to encourage new housing development in areas with strong demand, unlocking opportunities for mixed-income communities while giving developers new tools to address affordability. But writing legislation isn’t the same as getting shovels in the dirt.

Join Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and key voices from across the development and housing landscape for a conversation on how Live Local is reshaping Florida’s housing market. The discussion will explore the policy vision behind the program, how developers are leveraging new incentives, and what implementation looks like in some of South Florida’s most competitive markets.

From luxury neighborhoods and high-demand coastal communities to emerging mixed-income developments, this conversation will examine how public policy and private investment are shaping the next generation of housing in Florida — and the opportunities and challenges that come with creating more attainable housing options without sacrificing quality, location, or long-term value.
