Resolution De -obligating $742,000 in SHIP
Funds and Allocating $900,000 in HOME
REFERENCES: Funds
Car ENCLOSURES: Special City Commission Meeting
City Manager of February 15, 2001
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution that
rescinds Resolution No. 00-90, thus de -obligating $742,000 in State Housing Initiatives (SHIP)
Program funds previously allocated to the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc. and Habitat for
Humanity of Greater Miami, Inc. to finance new homeownership housing units in the
neighborhoods of Edison -Little River and Overtown, and replaces said de -obligated funds with
$900,000 in Home Investment Partnership (HOME) Program funds for the same purpose; further
reallocates said de -obligated funds previously to the City's SHIP funded Single Family
Rehabilitation and Homebuyer's Financing Program.
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of January 27, 2000, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 00-90,
allocating $742,000 in State Housing Initiatives (SHIP) Program funds to the Little Haiti
Housing Association, Inc. and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami, Inc. to finance the
development of homeownership housing units in the Edison -Little River and Overtown
neighborhoods.
The SHIP Program guidelines require that each year's allocation of funding from the State of
Florida must be expended within two (2) years of the award. Based on the SHIP Program's
definition for "expended funds", funds are not considered spent until construction on the housing
units is completed and they are sold and occupied by the eligible families. Due to construction
delays that have occurred on the housing projects planned by the aforementioned developers, the
SHIP funds are at risk due to the two-year spending requirement.
To remedy this situation and expedite the expenditure of the aforementioned SHIP Program
funds, it is recommended that the $742,000 of SHIP funds be reallocated to the City's SHIP
funded Single Family Rehabilitation and Homebuyer's Financing Program. This action will
enable the City to expend its SHIP funds on a timely basis to meet State requirements.

To ensure that the homeownership projects in the Edison -Little and Overtown neighborhoods
can move forward, the proposed resolution also allocates $900,000 in Home Investment
Partnership (HOME) Program funds to the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc. and $400,000
to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami, Inc. to replace the de -obligated SHIP funds. The
additional $158,000 in HOME funds to the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc. is
recommended to cover the increase in the construction cost of the project associated with the
developer's need to comply with the federal labor requirements of the Davis Bacon Act.
It should also be noted that the allocation intended for the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc.
is directed in the proposed legislation to Banyan Townhomes, L.L.C. to accurately reflect the
legal name of the joint venture entity created by the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc. and Al
Townsel, Inc. to develop the Biscayne East Townhomes project planned for Edison Little River.
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the proposed resolution that maintains the
City's commitment to homeownership projects in the Overtown and Edison Little River
neighborhoods and enables the City to expend its SHIP funds in accordance with State
requirements.
