operation of the City of Miami Homeless Program, which provides outreach and referral services
to the chronic homeless. Federal regulations also allow for the use of ESG funds for the
rehabilitation of buildings that are being used as emergency shelters for the homeless, for the
payment of certain operating expenses and essential services in connection with emergency
shelters for the homeless and for homelessness prevention activities.
It is recommended that Fiscal Year 2003-2004 ESG funds in the amount of $426,800 be made
available for distribution through the RFP process for the following eligible grant activities:
(1) Renovation and rehabilitation of buildings being used as emergency shelters for
homeless individuals and families,
(2) Shelter maintenance, operation (cost of staffing may not exceed 10% of the grant),
rent, repairs, furnishings, security and food supplies, and
