SUBJECT: Allocation of 28th Year CDBG
funds for Economic Development
REFERENCESSpeclal City Commission Meeting
ENCLOSURESJuly 8, 2002
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
allocating $2,085,000 of 28th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
funds in the category of Economic Development to the agencies specified herein for the 281h
Year Program Year beginning October 1, 2002; and further authorizing the City Manager to
enter agreement with said agencies for said purpose, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney,
subject to applicable City Code provisions.
BACKGROUND:
Under the entitlement formula, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
has advised the City that the projected Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
entitlement for the 28th Program Year, which commences October 1, 2002, will be $12,856,000.
The Department of Community Development has completed its analysis of 28th Year CDBG
proposals submitted by community organizations competing for available CDBG funds for
economic development activities.
The initial stage of the review process included a sufficiency assessment to determine the legal
qualifications of competing organizations, completeness of proposals submitted, default status
relating to previous financial obligations to the City and the Internal Revenue Service and
compliance issues pertaining to agencies currently under contract with the City of Miami.
As a result of the staff analysis, Attachment A includes those proposals that were initially
determined to be ineligible based on the aforementioned criteria and were eliminated from
further review consideration These agencies were formally advised in writing of the staff
determination and provided the opportunity to appeal their case to an independent, impartial
three (3) member panel comprised of representatives of the Departments of Planning, Asset
Management and Real Estate and Economic Development. Attachment B includes those
Agencies and that were determined to be eligible for funding consideration through the original
staff review and also those agencies which were successful through the appeals process and,
likewise, were determined to be eligible for funding consideration.
U2- 774
The response to the RFP process resulted in funding requests totaling just over $4.2 million from
competing organizations in the Economic Development category. Several proposals were
submitted for capital improvement projects. However, the advertised RFP did not include a
category for capital improvement projects and these activities were eliminated from the
screening process. Due to budgetary constraints, one (1) proposal to establish a commercial loan
fund was also not included in the Administration's recommendation.
In addition, the City Commission provided clear direction to the Administration that its funding
recommendation should be based on the specific needs of each District and must be
representative of the HUD formula allocation distribution by District, which is as follows:
District 1
— 20%
District 2
— 16%
District 3
— 23%
District 4
— 15%
District 5
— 26%
Total
100%
In the Economic Development category, $1,635,000 was available for allocation through the
RFP process and an additional $450,000 was set aside for rehabilitation costs for the Commercial
Fagade Program. The Administration's recommendation is based on a strategy that maintains the
following basic norms, in addition to the basic eligibility criteria previously cited in this
memorandum:
• Existing projects must attain satisfactory performance measures to be considered for
funding
• Capital improvement proposals were not considered for funding
• To be eligible for funding, a proposal must receive a minimum score of 70
• The funding recommendation takes into consideration specific District needs and is
predicated on the HUD formula allocation distribution by District
The Administration's funding recommendation in the Economic Development category is
included as Attachment B. The recommendation includes continued support to the successfully
community based organizations providing technical assistance to businesses and coordinating the
Fagade Improvement Program.
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution allocating $2,085,000
of 28th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds to support
Economic Development activities for the 28th Year Program Year beginning October 1, 2002,
and further authorizing the City Manager to enter into agreement with approved agencies, in a
form acceptable to the City Attorney, subject to applicable City Code provisions.
The proposed Resolution allocates CDBG grant funds and does not have a budgetary
impact on the General Fund.

BRIDGING
THE DIGITAL
DIVIDE IN
MIAMI
THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
Inequality exists between those people
and communities who can use
information technology and those who
cannot. Now more than ever, the
inability to use technology has many
people and communities at a
disadvantage. Many jobs today require
some form of computer experience.
The term "digital divide" refers to this
gap between those who can effectively
use technology and communication
tools, such as the Internet, and those
who cannot. Many people and
organizations are trying to find ways to
bridge the "digital divide."
HSC OFFERINGS
To help bridge this gap, The Human
Services Coalition (HSC) of Miami -
Dade County offers classes that will
allow people the opportunity to learn
how to utilize information technology,
search for jobs on the Internet and
manage their personal finances through
the use of technology. Also, some
eligible residents may receive a FREE
computer.

Information Technology ♦ Web Development ♦ Networking ♦ Teaching
There are many small- to medium- sized companies that cannot afford technical assistance. As a result, they are
not in a position to compete in virtual business world. By initiating the Internships for Undergraduates and
Graduates of Technology, the Human Services Coalition/e-Equality provides technology interns to companies
that need technical assistance in low- to moderate -income neighborhoods while at the same time providing
students with "real-world" work experience.
HSC/e-Equality Industry Internship Program Goals:
Provide students with the opportunity to explore career goals, apply classroom theory in the
workplace, and apply their skills to real-world problems;
Stimulate student interest in future employment with technology companies;
v Facilitate access for technology companies to qualified interns; and,
Foster relationships between technology companies and academic institutions.
Eligibility
The HSC/e-Equality Internship Program is open to rising junior and senior undergraduate students currently
enrolled full-time or part-time at one of seven targeted learning institutions—Miami-Dade Community College,
Florida International University, Florida Computer and Business School, University of Miami, Barry
University, NOVA Southeastern University, and St. Thomas University. Students from other universities may
apply.
Students must be in a program of study in one of the following fields: A+ Certified Service Technician, CAN,
CCNA, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, E -Commerce, Electrical and Computer Engineering,
Graphic Artist, Information Technology, Information Security, Information Systems, Management Information
Systems, MSCE, MSCA, Networking, Technology Instructor, Web Designer, Web Developer, and Webmaster.
While most companies specify preferred fields of study listed in their position descriptions, students from other
eligible fields demonstrating the necessary job skills and requirements are encouraged to apply.
The preferred internship schedule is eight consecutive weeks at 10 hours per week. However, interns and
companies may establish a mutually agreeable schedule that meets/exceeds the required hours. In some
position descriptions, companies are seeking interns to work 12 weeks.
Reporting Requirements
At the completion of the internship, students must submit a one-page written report on their internship
experience. The final written report should be submitted to the HSC/e-Equality and will be used as a measure
of the validity and value of the internship experience. Confidential and proprietary information should not
be recorded in the final report. The report should address the student's general internship experience
including:
• A brief description of the actual internship work and project(s)
• How meaningful, relevant and/or inspiring the work experience and mentoring relationship was
• The impact the internship had on plans regarding employment, and
• Suggestions for change or improvement regarding the HSC/e-Equality Internship Program.

The Human Services Coalition (HSC/e-Equality)
The mission of HSC is to empower individuals and communities to create a more just and equitable society by
promoting civic engagement, economic fairness, and access to health and human services that address unmet
needs.
HSC and e -Equality aim to reduce the digital divide in Miami -Dade County between high-income people who
have access to computers, the Internet and information technology and those people who do not. Studies have
shown that children living in households with a yearly income less than $20,000 are significantly less likely to
have or use computers than those children from households with a yearly income of over $75,000.
HSC and e -Equality want to provide free public access to computers by establishing computer technology
access centers where they are needed and using existing computer centers when possible. Additionally, we
provide free computer and Internet training, and provide people with the information they need to improve their
lives.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
Program Objective
Fanm Ayisyen Nan Miyami , Inc. (F.A.N.M.) is a non-profit 50103 organization that
has been working diligently for the past ten (10) years to empower Haitian women and
their families socially and economically. FANM understands the objectives of the
Economic Development component as it applies to our program, as one that will create
jobs and/or nurtures and grows businesses. The goal being three -fold, first it assures a
positive shift in the tax base from one of receiving entitlement benefits to that of
contributing to the tax base; secondly it creates jobs, and thirdly it stimulates the Little
Haiti economy with businesses owned and operated by people in the community, created
and two or three multiplier effect. Our food distribution incubator will develop business
operation and ownership skills while turning the participants into organized businesses.
In looking at the Economic Development strategy, we will be primarily focusing on
Objective 3: Business Development and Objective 4: Workforce Development. In
Workforce Development we will specifically target the goal of providing residents with
job opportunities consistent with their skills.
FANM's primary goal, with this program, is to help create self-sufficiency for those of
low wealth and _either receiving welfare benefits or who otherwise would be eligible for
these benefits. This will be our target group. This will help make the transition from
welfare to work or business owner smoother and will serve as a model for similar
programs throughout the state, while also being a model of encouragement for others who
may identify with the target group,
We are located in Little Haiti. According to the 1990 Census, our median income was
half that of the county at $18,736. Eighteen percent of the residents received public
assistance compared with 6.4% for the county, and a staggering 41.8% of the family
households lived below the poverty level compared with an unacceptable 42.4% for the
county. While jobs are available, the pay is not sufficient to maintain a family.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is worst and also has time limits.
Rice and beans are Caribbean staples, which also manifest in the multi-ethnic climate of
South Florida. Even in the worse economic times everyone eats rice and beans. Our
interest is based on our history of advocacy for rights and living wages. Our knowledge
and experience working in Little Haiti; our familiarity with the culture; and the skill sets
possessed in this community. But more specifically, with our commitment and
organizational mission and mandate to empower or facilitating the empowerment of those
who don't want a handout but a hand, guidance, and direction. Undergurding everything
we do is empowerment This k a t�P�= coria,, ,.,o.,+ +, 11

participant involvement. The food distribution incubator does just that. It empowers
future and current business owners, involving them in the process of creating wealth,

along with having the participants take control of their destiny, ease off the welfare rolls,
and become truly self-sufficient.
STATEMENT OF CAPACITY
Organizational Experience
FANM has been existence for ten years. In that time we have made significant strides
with very few financial resources capitalizing on partnerships and collaborations within
the Little Haiti community. During the ten years we transitioned from a volunteer run
and staffed organization to one with paid staff and programmatic funding. In operating
the Food distribution incubator we will be able to benefit from skill sets obtained through
our Haitian Women Worker Empowerment Program and Women out of Welfare: Micro -
loans programs. We are currently funded through Miami -Dade County CDBG for this
program in unincorporated Miami -Dade County. FANM is funded to create 3 businesses.
We have also aided a number of businesses with micro -loans. When F.A.N.M. received
a $2000 seed from Women's Funds of Miami -Dade County in 1995, it loaned $500 seed
money to four women to start small businesses. Not only did F.A.N.M. have a 100%
return rate, (all four repaid the loans) but also 2 of the women still have successful small
businesses 7 years later. The program was so successful, that Enterprise of Florida
awarded F.A.N.M. $25,000 in 1996 to expand it. The women out of welfare program
(W.O.W.) were initiated, to respond to the high unemployment rate among Haitian
women at a time. We realized -that when we -invested in the women, their families
benefited directly from the impact. The $25,000 put 10 more women and men in
business ranging from food distribution, Sewing and clothing retail, art and craft sales,
floral arrangements and hats sales etc. So, F.A.N.M. has created 20 small businesses;
seven are still running very well. Two of the businesses have grown out of the home
environment and F.A.N.M. is seeking other source of funding for these individuals to rent
space. One business owner presented in front of the neighborhood group recently and
stated "F.A.N.M. has given me a tool for life, with the profit I make from the business, I
pay all my bills and I'm now sending my daughter to College."
