Miami-Dade County has plans to redevelop a shuttered La Quinta Inn into “Hideaways by the Bay,” a community that would offer long-term accommodations for homeless individuals.
The effort will involve updating the hotel’s 107 rooms into those that can serve as residences for those struggling with housing insecurity. Each unit features its own bathroom, and planners intend to add kitchenettes to create studio apartments. Residents will have access to various on-site amenities, including a laundry facility and common breakfast area. They will also benefit from the 24-hour security camera system.
The Homeless Trust emphasizes that this is not a homeless shelter; tenants will sign a lease, pay rent, and must adhere to community rules. Residency would be reserved for those aged 55 and older, with sexual predators, sexual offenders, and felons not allowed. The Homeless Trust notes that this location is ideal because it’s a pedestrian-friendly area, located in the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transition corridor.
At the time of publication, our sources did not indicate when the venture would start construction or welcome its first residents. Hideaways by the Bay will be located at 10821 Caribbean Blvd., Cutler Bay, FL, 33189, in Miami-Dade County.
