The Voice of Trelana Haines

As we reach the middle of hurricane season, it is more important than ever to ensure our neighborhoods are safe, prepared, and resilient. That is why I am thrilled to welcome our next guest, Trelana Haines, MPA, Interim Code Compliance Director for the City of Miami. Known in the community as “Boots on the Ground,” Trelana is always on the move, responding to issues in real time and working closely with residents to make a real impact. In this episode, she shares how code compliance is not only about enforcement, but about education, partnership, and prevention. From addressing graffiti and noise complaints to helping residents in crisis, her department works hand-in-hand with other city teams and community members. They do this through after-hours hotlines, opportunities to resolve violations without fines, and outreach to neighborhood associations, all to keep our neighborhoods safe, clean, and vibrant.
