IT’S not often that pro athletes give back to their surrounding community.
However, former Miami Heat and three-time NBA champion Udonis Haslem is helping the community in a way he’s never done so before.

Haslem, who retired from the NBA after the season, is now partnering with Magellan Housing to build a 200-unit affordable housing project.
The project will put apartments and townhouses for sale in the North Miami region.
The former power forward released an announcement on his social media pages, including Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter.
Reports are that one building will consist of 174 apartments, with 26 townhouses dispersed amongst the rest.
Plans are still in the works, although the company expects the apartment complex to be eight stories.
The number of townhouses is still up in the air, as well.
The households will target individuals and families earning no more than 60 percent of the area median income, which is $74,700 annually.
So, the maximum income a single household can make is $43,380, $49,560 for a two-person, and $55,740 for a three-person household, according to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation.
The company also revealed how much the spaces would cost, too.
One-bedroom units will list for $1,161, $1,393 for two-bedroom units, and $1,610 for three-bedroom living spaces.
With the news, it seems the Miami native is moving on from his playing days and eyeing a different career venture post-retirement.
When announcing his retirement, he said: “I consider myself extremely blessed to say I can leave this game with no regrets.
“The championships, the accolades, the brotherhood, man it’s hard not to be at peace.”
This summer, Haslem also bought a sports team.
He announced a partnership with the World Jai-Alai League, the world’s fastest ball sport.
He shared on X: “New chapter means a new venture as a @JaiAlaiLeague team owner.
“Honored to be part of a sport with deep-rooted history here in my city and to me personally through memories of my dad.
“Excited to be doing it for Miami, for the players and for the fans around the world.”
