DIAZ, MAYO CORRECTNESSC/ Page 4 of 4 02- 7 r CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission i Qg . Gim ez City Manage' RECOMMENDATION: DATE: JUL - 1 2002 FILE: 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. 02 770 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND THE PROPOSED FY 2002-03 ACTION PLAN FOR THE USE OF HUD GRANT FUNDS BY THE CITY OF MIAMI C F ham' IKON?
