State of Florida, Dadef County Bond Programs, and HUD: We have=made a careful study of the housing need for low and moderate income families in the City of Miami.and there is a shortage of over 35,000 of new and remodeled units. t ti T We have found that while there is a large number of units and land available, the actual direct financial requirements are over and above the possibilities of the low and moderate income families,and that the most practical solution is the Cooperative Housing Ownership with the help of the Federal Government, State and County, and with the assistance at the same time of the City of Miami and National Cooperative Hank, as in this way the ' interst available and the closing cost will be within the reach of the low and moderate income families. This is the right time to develop the market for cooperative housing and' is the City of Miami the pioneer for the State of Florida to meet the challange of other cities and homes, in accordance with the program of HUD Secretary and the President of the United State.
