SUBJECT: Allocation of 28th Year
Emergency Shelter Grant
Funds
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES: Special City Commission
Meeting of July 8, 2002
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
allocating a total amount of $447,000 of Fiscal Year 2002-2003 Emergency Shelter Grant
(ESG) funds by specifically allocating $433,590 to the City of Miami Homeless Program
and $13,410 for the Administration of grant related activities; and further directing the
City Manager to submit a waiver request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development to increase the percentage of Emergency Shelter Grant funds that can be
used for direct services.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Miami has received notification from the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) that the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) entitlement for the
Program Year October 1, 2002 through September 30, 2003 will be $447,000.
Historically, the City Commission has allocated its ESG funds to support the operation of
the City of Miami Homeless Program, which provides outreach and referral services to
the chronic homeless. It is recommended that the $433,590 of Emergency Shelter Grant
funds available for distribution be allocated to eligible grant activities provided by the
City of Miami Homeless Project.
In addition, federal regulations authorize 3% of the grant to be utilized for administrative
costs to manage grant related activities. The Administration's recommendation includes
the allocation of $13,410 for this purpose.
The program guidelines of the Emergency Shelter Grant Program limit the amount of
funds that can be directed for direct services to 30% of the entitlement grant allocation.
However, as a result of the local sales tax dedicated to homeless programs, the need for
shelter care is met through this source and the need in South Florida is to provide support
services to complement services needed through the continuum of care strategy.
Therefore, in the current Program Year, which began October 1, 2001, the City of Miami
requested, and was granted, an increase in the 30% direct services cap from HUD.
02- 770
The City of Miami will face a similar situation in the next Program Year beginning
October 1, 2002 and there will be a need again to request the HUD waiver to enable the
City of Miami Homeless Program to operate as an outreach and referral program to the
chronic homeless. Therefore, in recognition that there will be an on-going need to target
available homeless funds to provide direct services, it is further recommended that the
City Manager be directed to submit a multi-year waiver letter to HUD to increase the
30% direct services cap.
Funds provided for this purpose are available from the Emergency Shelter Grant
and there is no budgetary impact on the General Fund.
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the proposed Resolution that allocates
$433,590 to the City of Miami Homeless Program and 513,410 for the Administration of
grant related activities; and further directs the City Manager to submit a waiver request to
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to increase the percentage of
Emergency Shelter Grant funds that can be used for direct services.
