On March 15, 2025, Joann Milord of the Little Haiti Revitalization Trust presented a strategic plan aimed at revitalizing Little Haiti amid gentrification challenges. The plan, created with input from Florida International University and local stakeholders, addresses economic growth and cultural preservation. Reginald Liger reflects on his childhood memories, noting significant changes driven by gentrification as families are pushed out for economic reasons. As Little Haiti's identity as a cultural hub is threatened, the strategic playbook seeks community feedback to outline future development and sustain the Haitian diaspora's heart.
"We haven't been able to keep up with that gentrification as a local community. So, it's still Little Haiti, but you kind of see it shrinking in front of your eyes."
"The Little Haiti Revitalization Trust shared its 10-year strategic plan, dubbed the The Little Haiti Strategic Playbook, to address these concerns."
