The Brickell Homeowners Association focuses on key quality of life issues such as crime prevention, traffic safety and beautification, communicating with elected leaders, government officials and the business community when needed. Miami City Hall and Miami-Dade County are monitored to be certain the views of the BHA are weighed in the decision-making process.

Evaluating proposed development to ensure compatibility with the neighborhood's residential character is also an important function of the BHA. The BHA stays abreast of municipal planning and proposed zoning changes, conveying its interests to appropriate elected and appointed officials.
