Girl Power Rocks (GPR), a non-for-profit organization focused on providing services and housing to young, at-risk women, has partnered with Housing Trust Group on a promising endeavor.
Initially, GPR envisioned a five-story, 45,000-square-foot residential/educational facility that would exclusively serve vulnerable women. But with Housing Trust Group’s partnership, the venture has been revised to also include affordable housing. The project is called “Mama Hattie’s House.”
At the time of publication, our sources did not share the income limits, though Miami-Dade County defines affordable housing as homes intended for residents earning at or below 140 percent of the area median income.

New plans for Mama Hattie’s House call for 95,591 square feet of new construction in seven stories. Sixty covered parking spots would be located on the ground-floor, and the second story would offer on-site educational facilities, including a music room, a healthcare center, and classrooms.
GPR’s 21 homes would be located on the third floor; HTG’s 70 homes continue to the top floor. HTG Girl Power Ltd has the vacant 0.65-acre site in a lease agreement with the City of Miami. Reprtwar designed Mama Hattie’s House. The Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency approved $5 million in funding for the project in 2023. Since then, the project has secured more than $20 million through donations, tax credits, and bonds.
Mama Hattie’s House is slated for 430 NW 9th St, Miami, FL, 33136, in Miami-Dade County.
