- Miami-Dade County Affordable Housing Needs Assessment
The FIU Metropolitan Center’s Miami-Dade County Affordable Housing Needs Assessment provides a current market perspective on the key demand and supply factors impacting the production and availability of affordable housing in Miami-Dade County and its municipalities. The insight provided by this research provides policymakers and the public with a detailed background on these key market factors and conditions through a data-driven platform upon which the policy recommendations of the subsequent Miami-Dade County Affordable Housing Blueprint can be implemented on both a short- and long-term basis. The Needs Assessment has been written to help expand the terms of the housing debate — to recognize that affordable housing is also critical to Miami-Dade County’s economic resilience and the quality of life of its residents.
In the post-recession economic recovery period since 2012, significant changes have occurred that have impacted rental housing supply and demand and overall affordability in Miami-Dade County. The contributing factors and conditions include a trend toward high-end, multi-family housing development, a lack of affordable housing production, low vacancy rates, and depressed household incomes. Escalating rent prices fueled by a rental housing shortage are significantly impacting working families and households. The vast preponderance of county workers earn wages in service sector occupations, including retail trade, leisure and hospitality, and educational and health services. The household incomes of these service sector workers limit housing choices to affordable rental housing opportunities, where available. The Miami-Dade County Affordable Housing Needs Assessment provides a clear understanding of the scope and scale of the county's affordable housing issues.
- Little Haiti Community Needs Assessment
The FIU Metropolitan’s Center’s Little Haiti Housing Needs Assessment provides a current market perspective on the key demand and supply factors impacting the production and availability of affordable housing in the Little Haiti Neighborhood of Miami. A basic premise of all housing markets is the need to create and maintain a spectrum of housing choice and opportunity for local residents. This axiom establishes that housing choice and needs differ in most communities due to a variety of factors including: household income, population age, proximity of employment and mere preference. A spectrum of owner and rental housing choice and opportunity is particularly important in supporting the range of income groups that reside in the city. An understanding of the shifting demands for housing is critical for the creation of effective housing policies and strategies. The increasing demand for worker housing has magnified the importance of providing a wide spectrum of owner and renter choice and opportunity with respect to affordability, location and access to jobs.
Target 11.2 Improve transport systems
By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons

- Transportation Landscape of South Florida Report
FIU's Metropolitan Center has conducted an assessment of the Transportation Landscape of South Florida. The region's declining inflation-adjusted wages, high cost of living, and significant immigrant population indicate a need for increased public transit. However, the region’s geographical sprawl, conservative political economy, political fragmentation, and low education attainment are likely detractors. FIU's review of South Florida’s public transit institutional framework reveals multiple agencies responsible for planning, financing and delivering public transit. These agencies produce and update long-range plans. However, they lack concrete performance metrics, suffer from co-dependent rollout, and lack an overarching dedicated regional funding stream. Public transit ridership is declining across South Florida. But growing ridership on the I-95 Express buses suggests timely, frequent, and accessible transit may wean drivers from their autos—a difficult task in the U.S. and around the world.
The research provides insight into how South Florida could develop a comprehensive and sustainable public transit system. The report suggests employers and elected officials should encourage transit usage as means to improved quality-of-life for the region’s residents. The report also suggests a broader approach to public policies in terms of land use, real estate development and access to economic opportunities. Comprehensive solutions to South Florida’s transportation challenges will require cohesive planning and implementation efforts that go beyond just engineering options, technology solutions and typical transit operation measures such as cost and timeliness, but incorporate considerations for community and economic development.

- Hurricane and Tropical Cyclone Forecasting
FIU's hurricane-focused research advances the science behind storms and suggests pragmatic strategies to protect human life. Their work is informing efforts at the National Hurricane Center and the U.S. Navy's Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
FIU meteorologists are investigating hurricane intensity, intensity change and structures of inner-core convection and precipitation. They are engaging satellite remote sensing techniques to study hurricane rainfall, convection, winds, and warm-core structures. As part of their work, they have developed long-term satellite-based tropical cyclone databases and used these tools to study the climatology of hurricanes and to develop algorithms for estimating current intensity and predicting rapid intensification of tropical cyclones.
FIU scientists are also working to improve existing forecast and modeling tools like the Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System. This new multi-scale operational model for tropical cyclone prediction fails to capture the intense turbulent mixing in eyewall and rainband clouds due to a poor estimation of static stability in clouds. Recent FIU research proposes a solution to this issue which could improve overall storm track and intensity predictions.
Our scientists are also tackling storm surge from these intense storms, developing a reliable model for predicting surge to assist communities in evacuation-decision strategies.
- Improving Resilience for Underserved and Neglected Populations
For decades, FIU researchers have worked to enhance the hurricane resilience of underserved and neglected populations. Recently, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded the university nearly $8 million to address hurricane risks and develop resilience strategies in Latin America and the Caribbean — focusing on land-use management, building codes and preparedness.
For Haiti and the Dominican Republic, FIU scientists have helped develop a storm surge database that is guiding decision-making of local officials for evacuations in storm events. And the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has funded efforts to map and forecast flooding throughout the Caribbean to improve storm surge monitoring and warning for island nations and Central American coastal areas.
Closer to home, the Andrew Mellon Foundation has supported FIU efforts to address the disproportionate impacts of hurricanes on low-income communities in South Florida. With 45 percent of the U.S. population living in hurricane-threatened states, the work being done in South Florida serves as a model for strategies all across the country.
