Shalley Jones Horn runs Dade development department with old gaffes to fix and new stimulus money to spend

   In her first year as director of Miami-Dade County's Department of Housing and Community Development, longtime Miamian Shalley Jones Horn has been cleaning up a mess she didn't make.
   The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has its foot on the county's neck, as Ms. Horn once put it, in the aftermath of a well-publicized housing scandal.
   She's been working to document past action left undocumented and spend federal money left unspent while at the same time overseeing a new pot of funds funneled to the county through the Obama Administration's stimulus package.
   Her department is responsible also for economic and community development programs. Juggling it all has been a challenge, Fannie Mae veteran Ms. Horn says, but she came prepared. "I came here with my eyes wide open. I have an opportunity to make a difference in this community…"
   She talked cleanup and community development in an interview with Miami Today reporter Risa Polansky.
