Emergency Item - Alliance
for Human Services Grant
It is respectfully recommended that the Honorable Mayor and the City Commission adopt
the attached ordinance to create a new Special Revenue Fund and to appropriate and
expend said funds not to exceed $63,900.00 per year. These funds consist of a three-year
grant beginning July 2001 totaling $191,700 from Miami -Dade County's, Alliance for
Human Services to the Miami Homeless Assistance Program. The services to be
provided are: outreach, assessment, information and referral services to homeless
individuals in the City of Miami. This item is being presented as an emergency because
the grant period begins in July 2001.
BACKGROUND
In February 2000, The Alliance for Human Services announced the issuance of a Notice
of Funding Availability (NOFA) request for proposals for General Social Services to the
residents of Miami -Dade County. One of the components provided funds to develop
housing and social services for homeless persons.
To enhance the quality of life in the City of Miami the Miami Homeless Assistance
Program submitted a proposal. All services proposed are consistent with the Miami -
Dade County Community Homeless Plan, the County's Master Social Service Plan, and
Dade County's Continuum of Care System of Services for addressing homelessness.
In May 2001, the Alliance for Human Services awarded the Miami -Homeless Assistance
Program a three-year grant to provide outreach, assessment, information, referral and
placement services to homeless individuals and families in the City of Miami.
