Money flowed into the Miami-Dade Housing Agency, the body charged

money was going out, but not a lot of houses were being built.
The Miami real estate market has been booming, but that growth has
left some residents out in the cold. With an innovative tax on
commercial real estate transactions, money was flowing into the
Miami-Dade Housing Agency, the body charged with building
affordable housing. But there was a problem. A lot of money was
going out, but not a lot of houses were being built. In an
investigation one editor described as a "bomb going off in the
city,"reporter Debbie Cenziper went inside the agency's own
records, interviewed dozens of residents and hunted down the money
to expose the mismanagement, pet projects and special favors taking
place at the expense of the very people the agency was supposed to
serve.
