RECOMMENDATION:

-- J U N 1 4 1999
Five -Year Consolidated
Plan
City Commission Meeting
June 22, 1999
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the following attached
legislation relating to the submission of the Five Year Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years
1999-2004:
A proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit the proposed FY-1999-
2004 Consolidated Plan for the use of funds received by the City from the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to implement the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, Home Investment Partnerships (HOME)
Program, Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program and the Housing Opportunities for
Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Program, authorizing funding categories for the
aforementioned programs in the 25`h Year and further authorizing the City Manager, upon
approval by HUD of said Plan and grants, to accept the same and execute the necessary
implementing agreements with HUD.
A proposed ordinance establishing four (4) new Special Revenue Funds for the HUD
programs identified in the above proposed resolution and appropriating funds for each of
the new Special Revenue Funds.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Community Development has prepared the Five Year Consolidated
Plan in accordance with federal regulations as stipulated in CFR Part 91, et.al. This
statutory requirement consolidates submission of the planning and application process of
the City's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Shelter Grant
(ESG), Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) and Housing Opportunities for Persons
With AIDS (HOPWA) formula programs administered by the Department of Community
Development. ,
The HUD grants are intended to meet the following three (3) objectives:
• Enhance quality housing opportunities by increasing the availability of permanent
affordable housing for low-income residents, retaining the affordable housing stock
and increasing supportive housing to enable persons with special needs to live in
dignity.
• Quality of life enhancements that increase access to quality facilities and services,
improve the safety and livability of neighborhoods, restore and preserve natural and
physical features of special value for historic or architectural reasons and conserve
energy resources.
• Stimulate economic revitalization to create jobs for low-income persons; provide
access to credit for community development that promotes long-term economic and
social viability; and empower economically disadvantaged persons to achieve self-
sufficiency.
The proposed strategic plan defines a specific course of action for the revitalization of the
City of Miami's communities and integrates economic, physical, environmental,
community and human development needs into a comprehensive and coordinated
approach to address these issues. Total population, the percentage of poverty, age of
housing, overcrowded housing, and growth lag determine entitlement eligibility. The
national objectives include:
• providing benefits to low and moderate income families;
• aiding in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and
• meeting other community development needs that have a particular urgency
because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health
or welfare of the community.
PUBLIC PARTICPIPATION
In developing the Consolidated Plan, an extensive. Citizen Participation process was
conducted that included a series of public meetings at the Citywide Community
Development Advisory Board level and District Public Hearings co-chaired by the
Chairperson of the Advisory Board and the City Commissioner representing each of the
City's five (5) districts.
The District Public Hearing concept represents a new approach in the City of Miami's
planning process to develop its five year plan for the allocation of HUD funds. For the
first time, elected officials were involved in the Citizen Participation process from start to
finish, beginning at the neighborhood level and concluding with the Public Hearing
approving the City's Consolidated and Annual Plans. Each Public Hearing included
11817
testimonies from recognized professionals in the areas of Housing, Economic
Development, Public Services and Workforce Development. The Public Hearings also
gave neighborhood residents the opportunity to actively participate in the planning
process to develop community revitalization strategies to positively impact local
neighborhoods.
The District Public Hearings clearly pointed to a Citywide need for affordable housing,
(particularly homeownership), job creation, expanded social services with an emphasis on
programs for the elderly and programs for youth, a concern for public safety, increased
park programs and infrastructure improvements.
COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION DISTRICTS
It also became apparent through the public hearing process and analysis of available data
that the composition of the City of Miami has dramatically changed over the twer ty-four
(24) year history of the City's entitlement Programs. When the City of Miami was
designated an entitlement city in 1974, the initial HUD allocation was based on eligibility
factors determined by the 1970 census. At that time, the City Commission designated
eight (8) areas with the largest pockets of poverty as "CDBG Target Areas". The
designated target areas included: Coconut Grove, Little Havana, Downtown, Overtown,
Wynwood, Allapattah, Edison/Little River and Model City. The City Commission has
chosen historically to allocate these funds to eight designated target areas that have
traditionally represented the most severely stressed areas of the City.
In the twenty-five years since this designation, except for minor modifications, the target
area boundaries have remained basically the same and entitlement allocations have been
restricted to these areas. Through the lifetime of the entitlement program, the state of the
City has dramatically changed. These changes did not occur overnight. In 1999, those
areas that may have been considered middle class in the 1970's have deteriorated through
the 1980's and 1990's. The housing stock has grown old and so has the general
population. The City's population base has also been transient and the homeownership
rate staggers substantially below the national, state and county averages. The City of
Miami has been the center for refugee flight in the 1980's and 1990's from Cuba, Haiti,
and various parts of South and Central America. In the 1980's, the streets of Miami were
also the scenes of civil unrest and riots. Through a combination of these factors, Miami
has evolved into a City rated as the fourth poorest City in the nation according to
statistics derived from the 1990 Census and, according to updated mid -decade data from
HUD, the 1995 poverty rate for the City has increased by 10%. It is time to recognize
those changes and revise the target area funding strategies that have been used in the past.
Through a coordinated effort of the Departments of Community Development, Planning
and Development and Real Estate and Economic Development, a Study Group was
formed and has been operating for almost 8 months. The Group's assessment of the
City's history in utilizing HUD funding resulted in the development of strategies to more
aggressively respond to fulfilling the three goals of quality housing opportunities, quality
of life enhancements and economic revitalization. The Group considered the present
dynamics, demographics and environments of the City of Miami's distressed
neighborhoods in reaching a conclusion. In weighing the strengths and weaknesses
demonstrated in the history of the use of HUD funding, it was determined that there is a
need to reassess and reevaluate the distribution of these funds. The pockets of poverty in
the City have expanded and, twenty-five years later, it is time to also focus on these new
areas that have previously been neglected.
The concept of Community Revitalization Districts was developed to establish a
meaningful investment of the residents through homeownership, which also translated
into the need for goods and services conveniently available in the neighborhood to open a
window for economic opportunity. The use of HUD funding is critical to provide a
catalyst to propel change in the City's most impoverished neighborhoods by reducing
the isolation of income groups within areas by increasing housing opportunities for
low and middle -income persons and revitalizing deteriorating neighborhoods
through quality of life enhancements and economic revitalization. These Districts
will be the focus of intensive efforts to foster economic development, increased home
ownership, and improved overall neighborhood quality.
Specific initiatives within each Community Revitalization ' District will be developed
based on the condition of the housing stock, ownership patterns, clustering potential of
vacant land, market conditions, transportation conditions, and infrastructure and other
needs for both the Homeownership Zone and the Economic Opportunity Zone. The goal
is to engender viable and visible economic revitalization benefits in these Districts and
promote intensive redevelopment to attract and retain businesses. Particular emphasis will
be focussed on businesses that can supply unskilled, low skill and semi -skilled
employment opportunities consistent with the existing and developing skills of the
unemployed and underemployed. This should result in the reduction of unemployment
and underemployment in and around these Districts.
In the appropriate sections of this Plan, recommendations and policies for the disposition
of the identified individual and clusters of properties will be suggested that will
encourage .the development of affordable housing, the revitalization of commercial
corridors and the development of green and open spaces. The Plan also focuses on
encouraging middle -income residents to relocate in the City, especially individuals
employed by the City of Miami. The Plan provides financial incentives aimed at
reintegrating middle -income residents back into the City and into the Community
Revitalization Districts and/or historic districts.
The Plan proposes a proactive approach to address the quality of life issues in the
Community Revitalization Districts. Because of the limited funds available for programs,
service providers will be encouraged to coordinate their efforts and in many instances
provide their services from a central location in the City parks. Cooperative efforts will
t `.E`... 11 - `7
insure that all -available resources will be used to provide quality of life enhancements in
the Districts, such as affordable daycare, access to healthcare, access to early childhood
education, and a substantial reduction in crime through targeted investments in
community policing activities and investments in youth activities. The City will expand
its legislative agenda to include improved transportation, the preservation of open space
and other issues affecting the Districts. The City will also research grant sources for
additional funding for quality of life programs and provide assistance and support to
community based agencies in identifying additional funding sources and assist in the
preparation of the application for those funds.
DOME OWNERSHIP ZONES
The establishment of Homeownership Zones in contiguous, geographically defined areas
within Community Revitalization Districts, together with other physical, social, and
economic development activities, makes a substantial, visible improvement in that
community. The goal is to revitalize distressed areas by converting vacant, abandoned or
blighted land and buildings into dynamic neighborhoods by developing single family
homes for families with a mix of incomes, including low -and moderate -income families.
This creates a foundation for bringing back commercial reinvestment and more, because
new owners create demand for neighborhood economic activities, such as grocery stores
and other retail.
Since the CDBG target areas are no longer the only distressed areas, the Study Group
developed conditions relative to levels of income and the percentage of homeownership
throughout the City to establish the areas where reinvestment would create the most
dramatic changes. Two benchmarks were established to measure these conditions:
1. A household income of less than 50% of the county median
2. A home ownership rate of less than 20%.
Clusters of publicly owned land in the Community Revitalization Districts will be
identified to serve as the starting point for infill housing and commercial development
initiatives, as well as green space/open space initiatives. The development of city -owned
properties, along with an effort to acquire or assist in the acquisition of adjacent
privately -held properties and the improvement of existing properties through code
enforcement, community policing and maintenance incentives, will serve as a catalyst in
the revitalization efforts.
POLICYRECOMMENDATIONS FOR QUALITYHOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
• Establish home ownership as a funding priorityfor the allocation of HUD funds
• Prioritize the allocation of HUD funds to projects located in the Homeownership
Zones of the Community Revitalization Districts
9
• Award bonus points to proposals sponsoring homeownership projects
• Modify the Single Family Rehabilitation Program for 'homeowners from a loan
program to a grant program
• Increase the maximum assistance available through the Single Family Rehabilitation
Program from $35, 000 to 40, 000 per household
• Establish a single family owner occupied emergency grant/loan program to meet
immediate urgent household needs
• Prioritize available public land in the first year of the Five Year Plan to develop in -
fill affordable homeownership projects in the Homeownership Zones of the
Community Revitalization Districts
• Establish an Affordable Housing Land Disposition Policy that provides public land at
no cost to develop affordable housing projects
• Establish a lease/purchase program for economically disadvantaged families
• Establish a homebuyer's counseling program
• Establish Homeownership Incentive Programs to attract City employees and middle
income families to relocate in the City of Miami
• Establish an Affordable Housing Finance Committee to explore prospective financing
mechanisms for the production of affordable housing
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ZONES
Considerable effort will be devoted to businesses in the Economic Opportunity Zones. A
wide variety of services will be provided by the City's Business Assistance Center,
including the review of business operating systems, development of business plans,
marketing plans, budget analysis, accounting and risk -management procedures, insurance
and bonding procedures, inventory control, personnel management and customer
relations. The recruitment of new businesses will be a strong focus with up front
assistance in putting together business plans, loan applications, personnel screening and
all other requirements in opening a new business..
Faeade improvement, sidewalk repairs, -new signage, parking and coordination with the
County in road improvements will be provided. A coordinated effort to provide a
"marketing theme" for the business corridor will be explored and the development of a
joint marketing campaign to bring new customers to the Districts will be planned.
Those businesses outside of the Districts who are pledging employment for District
residents will receive financial incentives such as 108 loans, and others.
The City's Office of Workforce Development, through its One -Stop Centers will be the
source for training and job placement. Additionally, a corps of job developers in each
Center is involved in creating jobs for the very low, low and moderate -income residents
in the Districts. The Office.of Workforce Development will utilize the City's First Source
Hiring Ordinance in generating job opportunities for District residents and will work with
the Empowerment Zone Trust in assisting residents living in Districts within the
Empowerment Zone to access the thousands of jobs pledged for Zone residents.
The Five -Year Consolidated Plan recognizes the growth opportunities in the older more
urban corridors of the City and the development of the Community Revitalization
Districts is the focus of that growth potential. The assets of these Districts include
existing infrastructure; the opportunity. for land assembly and residential development;
access to transportation and proximity to jobs; the business and cultural center; an
underutilized workforce; and proximity to the area's natural beauty.
In implementing the strategies of the Five -Year Consolidated Plan, the City expects to
build alliances with a broad range of partners including the business sector, developers,
community -based organizations, government, environmentalists and community
residents. These entities can unify to support a new approach to revitalizing our
communities.
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS TO EXPAND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES
• Provide financial assistance to the City of Miami Public Works Department to
upgrade the infrastructure of the Economic Opportunity Zones
• Work with the Department of Off -Street Parking to meet the parking requirements of
the area, including the acquisition ofproperty to be used for parking
• Provide access to training and entrepreneurial opportunities through the One Stop
Centers, including supportive services leading to self sufficiency
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS TO EXPAND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES
(CONTINUED)
• Provide large scale renovation along strategic commercial corridors by creating
incentives to improve the visual appearance of business properties (fagade
renovation, including painting, signage, awnings, storefront improvements,
landscaping, lighting and other design elements)
• Hire economic development professionals or contract outside consultants to provide
technical assistance to new and existing businesses
• Provide low interest loans for physical improvements to upgrade storefronts, resolve
code violations and purchase equipment for businesses located in the Economic
Opportunity Zones
• Advocate the promotion of public transportation as a legislative priority to access to
job centers located outside of the City
11817
QUALITY OF LIFE ENHANCEMENTS
As the City of Miami develops targeted Community Revitalization Districts to create
homeownership opportunities, economic stability through the strengthening of local
businesses that provide services and jobs for neighborhood residents and skills training to
prepare residents to successfully compete for these jobs, quality of life enhancements
provide the final link to changed lives. This includes public service and capital
improvement projects, such as street repairs, sidewalk replacements, park and public
facilities to complement the physical and economic development activities in the
Community Revitalization Districts.
The City of Miami has been successful in its efforts to increase the 15% cap restriction
for public services. Congress adopted legislation increasing the City of Miami's CDBG
public services cap to 25% for a three (3) year period. The 10% increase in the public
services cap must be used to provide services to persons impacted by welfare reform.
This waiver will increase available funding that may be directed to public services by
approximately $1.2 million annually for the next three (3) years.
In addition to public services, the Plan includes quality of life enhancements through
projects in what have been traditionally classified in the category identified as Public
Facilities in previous Annual Action Plans. This includes capital improvement projects
such as the completion of street repairs, replacement of sidewalks and improvements in
parks and public facilities
These programs must create an environment that addresses the needs of the neighborhood
while simultaneously caring for its aging population and also providing opportunities for
its future generation to succeed. While the piecemeal approach of allocating quality of
life enhancement projects in the past may have been effective at minimally addressing
specific needs in particular target areas, these projects, as effective, successful and
beneficial as they may have been in providing services to the neighborhood, have not
necessarily revitalized the City's impoverished communities.
A comprehensive approach to meeting the quality of life needs in the Community
Revitalization Districts is crucial to complement the physical and economic development
activities to effectively improve the quality of life for the City's neediest residents. The
proposed Community Revitalization Districts have been created to provide opportunities
to make substantive changes in depressed areas of the City. It is essential to develop a
coordinated approach to change the traditional cycle of poverty and maximize the use of
available resources.
A common concern identified in the public hearing process has been that City parks lack
programs. Rather, than providing youth with opportunities to participate in recreational
activities, the programless City parks have created an environment that spawns gang
activity and illegal drug use and distribution. To compound this predicament, bond funds
11817
are available to make physical improvements in the parks and modernize or construct
new facilities, but funding is still not available to provide viable programs in these parks.
Creative approaches must be implemented to resolve this situation and make City parks
places where viable programs are operating, citizens are utilizing these programs and the
criminal element is forced to move elsewhere.
There are obvious quality of life needs and limited funding is available to meet these
needs. At the same time, City parks remain programless. It makes sense to fund social
service agencies that can fill that void. If funds are available to make capital
improvements in the parks, then it is logical to identify community based organizations
providing essential services to operate these programs in City parks. This includes a full
range of services that may include programs for the elderly or programs directed to youth.
Active programs in the City parks will promote community residents to utilize
neighborhood facilities while at the same time serving as a deterrent to crime in the
community. This strategy can be instrumental in effecting quality of life standards in the
Community Revitalization Districts.
The basic concept is to promote proposals that will make the City's parks viable
community based centers of activity. The concept is a win -win situation for the
community -based organizations providing services in the City parks. Not only do these
organizations receive public service funding, but there is also a tremendous opportunity
to reduce operating costs.
HUD funds for capital improvement projects must also be maximized to complete the
quality of life cycle in the Community Revitalization Districts. This includes a strategy
that specifically directs HUD dollars to improve streets, replace sidewalks and improve
public facilities that enhance the quality of life for residents of the Community
Revitalization Districts.
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR QUALITY OF LIFE ENHANCEMENTS
• Allocate the maximum allowable 25% to public service programs
• Award bonus points to Agencies proposing to operate programs in City parks
• Award bonus points to proposals including coordinated services (elderly programs,
youth programs, childcare etc.)
• Award bonus points to proposals establishing partnerships to provide coordinated,
diverse services
• Award bonus points to proposals serving the Community Revitalization Districts
• Prioritize social program proposals to programs for the elderly and youth
• Authorize City Departments to implement capital improvement projects.
• Prioritize capital improvement funds to projects located in the Community
Revitalization Districts
• Leverage CDBG public service allocations to insure maximum use of available funds
11817
0 - a
• Ensure that available Empowerment Zone funds meet social service needs in the
Community Revitalization Districts
• Provide letters of support to community based organizations seeking outside funding
• Refer community based organizations to appropriate funding sources
• Recognize quality of life enhancement needs in developing the City s Legislative
Agenda
• Actively research grant sources for community based agencies to apply for funding
and provide technical assistance to prepare grant applications
• Co-sponsor social service grants with community based organizations
Therefore, it is respectfully requested that the proposed ordinance and resolution be
adopted authorizing the City Manager to submit the FY-1999-2004 Consolidated Plan for
the use of funds received by the City from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to implement the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program, Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program, Emergency Shelter Grant
(ESG) Program and the Housing Opportunities for Persons With Aids (HOPWA)
Program, establishes funding categories for the aforementioned programs in the 251h Year,
authorizes the City Manager to accept and execute the necessary implementing
agreements upon approval by HUD and establishes four (4) new Special Revenue Funds
for the HUD programs as identified above.

Subject. • City ofAhatni Consolidation Plan: Fiscal Year 1999 2004
Date: July 27, 1999
On Tuesday July 27, 1999, the City Of Miami's Board of Commissioners will vote on the
adoption of the City's five-year consolidated plan. We support this plan and believe that it
reinforces our organization agenda to enhance the quality of life in the Little Haiti
Community in very tangible and concrete ways. While we approve of the plan in general
terms, we would like to take this opportunity to recommend modifications specifically for
the Edison Little River Community Revitalization District.
We Propose that the District be renamed EdisonlLittle River/Litdle Haiti.
We are also concern that new boundaries have excluded areas which have traditionally been
part of that District and which share its general characteristics. The new boundaries are:
NW 79`h street to the North
NE 2°d Ave. to the East (with industrial park to the East)
I-95 to the west
NW 54 5e Street to the South
We propose that the boundaries be redrawn as follows:
NW 79`" to the North
45'h to the south
Biscayne Boulevard to the East
1-95 to the West
Areas South of 54* Street and East of NE 2"d Ave. must be included since the current
residents are still at or below poverty levelx

Home Ownership Zones
The boundaries recommended for the Home Ownership Zone in the Edison/Little River District
are as follows:
NW 79t' Street to the North
NE 2"d Avenue to the East
I-95 to the West
NW/NE 54`' Street to the South
We propose that the following area be added to the recommended zone:
NW/NE 36" to the South
NW 79`h street to the North
North Miami Avenue to the East
I-95 to West
We support the City's goals to build 1000 home during the first year, however, we request that
the City's target for new construction and rehab for this Zone be set at a minimum of 300 homes.
Moreover, we are requesting to be included in the decision making process with regards to the
selection of for -profit and not -for profit developers. We also recommend that an education
program about the right and responsibilities which come with home ownership be included in
any home construction or acquisition program.
We strongly support the City's goals to provide housing services for the elderly. We also intend
to work very closely with the City on this issue.
We strongly support the City's to provide home ownership opportunities for people living with
AIDS.
We support the City's Code enforcement program, however we believe that it should be
implemented in tandem with a culturally sensitive education campaign aimed at informing
residents in their native tongue about Code Enforcement and violations.
Economic Opportunity Zone
We support the City's economic revitalization strategy which aims to:
promote business development in the Economic Opportunity Zones, directed to
the neighborhood retail and services market
promote business development in the Zones directly linked to the regional
economy
improve public transportation access for residents of the Zones to suburban
employment centers
11817
•
The boundaries recommended for the Edison/Little River Industrial Zones are as follows;
NE second Avenue on the West
FEC railroad right- of- way to the East
NE 62"d Street to the south
NE 71 n to the North
We propose that the model be expanded to include an industrial as well as a commercial
zone. The commercial zone would include:
N.E. Second Avenue from 45`h street to 84`h
54` Streeffrom Biscayne to I-95
79`h street from Biscayne to I-95
The proposed boundaries for the Edison/Little River Economic Zone are too narrowly focused on
the industrial zone and do not include the clusters of small business along the commercial
corridors.
Moreover residents of Little Haiti have selected a section a site which lies between 62"d street and
54' Street and have, through a charette process facilitated by the City of Miami's Planning
Department, designated this section as Creole District, a model for economic revitalization. We
are proposing that a feasibility study for the Creole District be sponsored by the City.
Quality of Life Enhancement Strategy
We support the plan's Quality of Life Enhancement Strategy. We support the policy
recommendations which aim to :
• Allocate the maximum allowable 25% to public service programs
• Award bonus points to Agencies proposing to operate programs in City parks
• Award bonus points to proposals including coordinated services
• Award bonus points to proposals establishing partnerships to provide coordinated
diverse services
11817
We at Communities' United would like to ask Commissioner Teele to insure that, the Little Haiti
Revitalization Task farce can work closely with Ms. Gwen Warren to insure that 1000 of the 7000 homes
included in the City of Miami five year Revitalization plan will be built in the Edison, Little Rimer, Little
Haiti, Lemon City area.

Plan Addendum
ROM: REFERENCES:
Donald H. Warshaw City Commission Meeting
City Manager ENCLOSURES: June 22, 1999
The following information is provided as an addendum to the proposed Five Year
Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 1999-2004 previously forwarded to you for review and
approval. It is important to understand that the proposed Consolidated Plan is a "live"
working document that is subject to addendum as a result of public comment and/or
additional information that is pertinent to activities included in the Plan.
Upon approval of the Consolidated Plan at first reading by the City Commission, federal
regulations stipulate that the document be made available for public review and comment
for a thirty (30) day period. The following information will be incorporated as an
addendum to the Consolidated Plan in response to additional input received by the
Department of Community Development in the interim period between the publishing of
the proposed Plan and the scheduled Public Hearing before the City Commission:
Affordable Housing Finance Committee
The proposed Consolidated Plan includes a recommendation to establish an Affordable
Housing Finance Committee to explore prospective financing mechanisms for the
production of affordable housing. Subsequent to the distribution of the proposed
Consolidated Plan to the City Commission, the Department of Community Development
met with Ms. Shalley A. Jones, Director, South Florida Partnership Office of Fannie Mae,
to -further discuss financing strategies to meet the Plan's affordable Housing goals.
As a representative for one of the leading, active financial institutions involved in the
development of affordable housing, Ms. Jones' professional background and
understanding of financial packaging provide invaluable assets and expertise necessary to
effectively meet the challenges facing the Affordable Housing Finance Committee. It is
recommended that the City Commission appoint Ms. Jones as the Chairperson of the
Affordable Housing Finance Committee included in the proposed Consolidated Plan.
Housing Oaaortunites for Persons With AIDS Program (HOPWA)
The proposed Consolidated Plan briefly refers to the HOPWA Program and funding
available to that Program. It is anticipated that the City of Miami will receive
approximately $8,814,000 for the HOPWA Program in FY 1999-2000. As the
jurisdictional entity responsible for the HOPWA Program on a countywide basis, the City
of Miami is currently working with the newly established Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS
Partnership (Partnership) in an effortto better serve the HIV/AID community.
The Partnership was established to encourage effective citizen participation by persons
with HIV/AIDS and their families and to provide a mechanism to devise comprehensive
strategies and coordination by local governments and local AIDS service providers in
meeting the housing, health care and supportive service needs required by persons with
HIV/AIDS and their families. The Partnership serves in an advisory capacity 'to the City
Commission and Commissioner Joe Sanchez currently serves as an ex-officio member of
the Partnership representing the Miami City Commission.
Subsequent to the publishing of the proposed Consolidated Plan, at its June 17, 1999
meeting, the Partnership's Housing Committee developed funding recommendations for
the expenditure of the $8,418,000 available in FY 1999-2000 HOPWA Program funding.
The recommendations, based on the program funding categories, were provided to the
Department of Community Development and are similar to the amounts allocated last
year. The Housing Committee's funding recommendations are as follows:
Housing Committee
Service Category Recommendations
Long Term Housing Assistance
$5,050,800

FY 1999 HOPWA Grant $8,418,000
Since the HOPWA Program funding recommendations proffered by the Miami -Dade
HIV/AIDS Partnership — Housing Committee were not received until Thursday, June 17,
1999, this information could not be included in the proposed Consolidated Plan, but the
policy recommendations are accepted and are now being incorporated in the addendum to
the Plan.
Traditionally, HOPWA Program funds have been utilized to provide assistance in long and
short-term rental, emergency housing, utilities, special needs/moving expenses and
d
0
permanent housing. In accordance with the City's goal to expand homeownership
opportunities for low and moderate -income families, it is further proposed that the
housing strategy also affords HIV/AIDS individuals and their families the opportunity to
become homeowners by utilizing HOPWA Program funding for that purpose.
Unexpended carry-over HOPWA Program funding will be used to create a second
mortgage program to assist individuals with HIV/AIDS in the purchase of a single family
home.
Commissioner Sanchez has been participating with staff in reviewing service delivery
systems of HOPWA entitlement recipients in other areas of the country to create a
program that will most effectively meet client needs in the Greater Miami area. At the
conclusion of this review, the Department of Community Development will forward a
recommendation to the City Commission regarding the restructuring of the HOPWA
Program administered by the City of Miami.
South Florida Housing and Community Development Coalition
The South Florida Housing and Community Development Coalition expressed several
concerns because of deadlines facing City staff relating to the Consolidated Plan, the FY
2000 RFP, time for agencies to submit proposals and staff to evaluate the same,
Commission approval, the development of contracts and submission of the annual Action
Plan. These concerns will be incorporated in the public comment section of the Plan.
In addition, staff will meet with this organization to discuss the identified concerns and
attempt to alleviate them.
The aforementioned information relating to the Affordable Housing Finance Committee,
HOPWA Program and South Florida Housing and Community Development Coalition
will be incorporated as an addendum to the proposed Consolidated Plan.
In addition to the Five Year Consolidated Plan, the Department of Community
Development also proposed legislation that extended the contracts of existing agencies
and allocated funding for those projects to operate through September 30, 1999 based on
program performance during the current contract term. However, a recommendation was
not made regarding Miami Capital Development Corporation.
The Department of Community Development was in the initial stages of an extensive
review of the Agency at the time the recommendations were made. A staff team was
assigned to carefully review Miami Capital Development's records to assess the Agency's
loan processes, financial status, internal controls and compliance with federal regulations.
The staff team is proceeding with its evaluation and this review is anticipated to be a
lengthy process as a result of the voluminous amount of documentation that must be
reviewed.
I� a
Preliminary conclusions indicate that there are significant findings that will require
corrective actions. To complete the staff review and provide an opportunity to allow for
the implementation of corrective actions, it is recommended that the administrative
funding for Miami Capital Development be continued for a three (3) month period through
September 30, 1999. It must be emphasized that the funding extension is for
administrative funding only and that funds are not authorized for use in making or
Processing new loans

HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH AIDS (HOPWA)
At the end of 1998, Florida ranked third among states in the number of reported AIDS
cases. The number of cumulative AIDS cases places the Miami -Dade EMS_ A fourth in
AIDS incidence among all metropolitan statistical areas. As of December 31, 1998, 9,249
persons are believed to be living with AIDS in the EMSA. The number of persons living
with HIV is estimated to be 3,428. It is estimated that in excess of 50% of the HIV/AIDS
population resides in the City of Miami.
The incidence of AIDS among Black non -Hispanics in the Miami -Dade EMSA has
steadily increased. The comparison of cumulative AIDS cases to cases reported in the
last year shows that the proportion of AIDS cases among Hispanics and White non -
Hispanics equally decreased by 4%, while the proportion among Black non -Hispanic
increased by 8%. In 1998, 57% of the cases were among Black non -Hispanics. Cases
reported in the last year demonstrate an upward trend in cases among females compared
to males in that the rate among females increased by 8%.
The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program was authorized by
the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act and amended by the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992. The program is designed to provide states and local
governments with the resources and incentives to devise long-term, comprehensive
strategies for meeting the housing needs of persons with acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome or related diseases and their families. The program authorizes entitlement
grants and competitively awarded grants for housing assistance and services.
The City of Miami serves as the administrator of the entitlement grant -funded HOPWA
program for the entire geographical area of Miami -Dade County. The Department of
Community Development is the entity within the City designated to carry out the
program. HOPWA is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
During the first six months of 1999, 453 persons living with HIV/AIDS were surveyed
regarding their current and previous living situations, economic resources, and housing
needs and preferences. Surveys were specifically targeted to the community to ensure
that survey respondents reflected, as close as possible, the epidemiological profile of
those with HIV/AIDS in Miami -Dade County as reported for 1998. This survey,
commissioned by the City of Miami through the HOPWA Program and the first of its
kind in Miami -Dade, established a baseline housing profile of this population and is
guiding an on -going planning and resource allocation process under the auspices of the
11817
Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership in cooperation with the City of Miami's HOPWA
Program.
Housing Affordability Findings
There is significant need for affordable housing options for persons living with
HIV/AIDS in the Miami -Dade EMSA. Over 60% of the respondents lived in the City of
Miami where 42.8% of all residents live in poverty.
G Nearly 75% of the respondents have incomes of less than $1,000 a month. This is
less than 31 % of median income for Miami -Dade County. 30% of the respondents
support others on their monthly income.
G Over 88% of the respondents receive public benefits, with 72.4% dependent upon
SSI, SSA or SSDI, which offer a monthly benefit of $494.
G Approximately 76% spend more than 30% of their income on rent and therefore
have a housing "cost burden."
G 45% of the respondents spend more than 50% of their income on rent and therefore
have a "severe cost burden" and are considered at risk of homelessness.
G When asked whether they would have to move if their rent increased by $50.00,
42.2% of all respondents reported that they would.
G The majority of respondents live with another person and over 36% of all
respondents live in households of three or more.
G Over 25% live in households with children.
G Over 25% live with someone else with HIV/AIDS.
Average rent in 1995 within the Miami -Dade EMSA was $700, compared to $500 in
1990. Under the 30% affordability rule, a household would require an income of $28,000
-to secure affordable housing. This is 71% of the median family income for the county.
For those dependent upon SSI income, a recent study indicates that 90.9% of a recipient's
monthly SSI assistance is absorbed by monthly rent for an efficiency in Miami -Dade
County and that a recipient would require 114% of this monthly assistance to afford a
one -bedroom apartment.
Only 12.4% of estimated number of persons living with AIDS can be accommodated by
existing housing programs directed at persons with HIV/AIDS (12% of this housing is
directed at homeless persons with HIV/AIDS; 4.5% is comprised of permanent housing
restricted to persons with HIV/AIDS and the remaining capacity is comprised of a rental
subsidy program for persons with AIDS). Approximately 14% of the respondents were
receiving HOPWA assistance, with another 22% receiving other forms of housing
assistance. An additional 32% of the respondents are on a waiting list for housing
4
assistance. While program administrators and case managers reported that most clients
are directed towards housing assistance made available under the HOPWA Program, a
very low number of clients are actually receiving assistance under the Program.
Housing Preferences Findings
The majority of respondents preferred to remain where they were living or move to live
alone. These two housing preferences held true even when respondents were asked to
rank housing options if their health declined. These housing preferences far outweighed
shared or structured housing options. Over three-quarters of the respondents would pay
more rent to live alone than share rent and well over sixty percent would.move to another
neighborhood or town for a less -expensive place of their own than live close to their own
neighborhood in shared housing. Over three-quarters of -the respondents preferred
housing options that did not group persons living with HIV/AIDS into one housing
complex, but rather preferred to live in an apartment building that mixed people with
HIV/AIDS with persons who are not living with HIV/AIDS. Nearly fifty percent of the
respondents also disliked housing designed to house a mix of people with special needs
such as people with mental illness, people with substance abuse issues and people with
HIV/AIDS. Respondents' preference for independent housing is further illustrated by the
nearly 78% of the respondents who would rather live in a SRO building with shared
kitchen and bath than live in a house or apartment with others.
Compared to the current geographic distribution of respondents' residences, nearly 30%
of those living in City of Miami would prefer to live elsewhere (63.5% currently residing
in the City of Miami compared to 35.8% preferring to live in the city). The percentage of
respondents who prefer to live in the City of Miami Beach and in North Dade nearly
doubles for respondents who prefer to live in either geographic area (in the case of the
City of Miami Beach, 12.4% compared to 24.7%; and in North Dade, 8.3% compared to
15.5%).

Housing Stability Findings
Responses to the survey indicate a certain degree of housing instability. Only 18.5% of
the respondents indicated living in fairly stable housing (i.e. public housing; own home;
or HIV/AIDS housing program). Over 14% of the respondents indicated current
residence in a homeless program or being currently homeless. Another 15% indicated
i
living in a single room or doubling up. The majority (51%) lived in a rented house or
apartment. Yet, nearly half of all respondents have lived in their current housing less than
12 months and over a quarter of respondent have lived in their current residence less than
six months. Only 15.7% have lived in their current housing for 3 to 5 years. Over 42%
of all respondents would have to move if rent were to increase by $50. Over a quarter
reported having experienced housing discrimination.
Nearly 42% of all respondents (41.9%) had moved since learning of their HIV status.
Two of the most frequently cited explanations given for moving were directly related to
their HIV status: respondent was asked to move because of their HIV status (30.7%)
and/or respondent moved to receive better or closer HIV/AIDS services (41.8%).. Nearly
41% moved due to eviction or lack of funds for rent. A majority of these respondents
(51.5%) have moved once or twice in the past year and 13.1 % have moved three or more
times. When asked about moves in the past three years, 44.4% reported having moved
once or twice and 49.4% reported moving three or more times.
Close to 44% of all respondents (43.9%) indicated that they had to sleep outdoors, in a
car, a shelter, at a friend's house or trade sex for a place to sleep or rent money since
learning of their HIV status.
Over 45% of all surveyed had experienced homelessness (meaning "without a regular
place to stay the night"). Of those reporting such an experience, nearly 43% had
experienced homelessness once or twice in the last three years, while 22.1 % had three or
more episodes of homelessness. The length of these respondents' most recent period of
homelessness were fairly significant: 20.9% had been homeless for a few weeks to a
month; 28.6% had been homeless for two months to a year; and 25.2% were homeless for
more than a year. The most, common explanations given for the last period of
homelessness were lack of money (43.9%), family, partner or roommate made them move
(24%) and difficulty accessing housing assistance (20.9%).
HOUSING CAPACITY FOR PERSONS WITH HIV/AIDS
In Miami -Dade County, the majority of housing and housing assistance directed at
`persons living with HIV/AIDS is offered through the county's Homeless Continuum of
Care administered by the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust and the local Housing
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS, which is administered by the City of Miami.
The Homeless Continuum of Care housing inventory is comprised of 1,554 transitional
housing beds and 1,279 permanent beds. This inventory is available to anyone who meets
the federal definition of homelessness. The Homeless Trust funds eight (8) transitional
beds for homeless males with HIV/AIDS and forty-five (45) transitional beds for
homeless males and females with HIV/AIDS. Of Trust -funded permanent beds, ten (10)
are directed at homeless males with HIV/AIDS, sixty-one (61) beds directed at homeless
males and females, and thirteen (13) directed at families with a member living with
HIV/AIDS. These beds are funded by a local dedicated food and beverage tax and federal
4
11817
U.S. HUD funds, both of which are administered locally by the Miami -Dade County
Homeless Trust. According to the most recent needs and gaps analysis performed by the
Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust, an additional 653 beds for homeless individuals
living with HIV/AIDS and 323 beds for homeless families are needed in Miami -Dade
County.
In addition, there are fifty-two permanent beds for persons living with HIV/AIDS outside
the Continuum of Care (meaning that one need not be homeless to access these beds).
The local HOPWA program makes available long-term rental assistance to up to 960
persons at any given time as well as short-term rental assistance and emergency housing
assistance.
RECOMMENDED FUNDING FOR 1999-2000 HOPWA FORMULA GRANT
As the jurisdictional entity responsible for the HOPWA program on a county -wide basis,
the City of Miami is currently working with the newly established Miami -Dade
HIV/AIDS Partnership (Partnership) in an effort to better serve the HIV/AIDS
community. The Partnership was established to encourage effective citizen participation
by persons with HIV/AIDS and their families and to provide a mechanism on a county-
wide basis to devise comprehensive strategies and coordination by local governments and
local AIDS service provides in meeting the housing, health care and supportive service
needs required by persons with HIV/AIDS and their families. The Partnership serves in
an advisory capacity to the City Commission with regard to HOPWA formula grant funds
awarded to the City on behalf of the Miami -Dade EMSA. The City of Miami also is
represented on the Partnership.
Traditionally, HOPWA Program funds have been utilized to provide assistance in long
and short-term rental, emergency housing, utilities, special needs/moving expenses and
permanent housing. On the basis of the survey results and accompanying analysis of
current housing conditions in Miami -Dade County, the Partnership's Housing Committee
developed funding recommendations for the expenditure of the $8,418,000 available in
FY 1999-2000 HOPWA Program funding. The recommendations were accepted by the
Department of Community Development and are incorporated into the City of Miami's
Consolidated Plan, as follows:

V
Attached please find the official corrected mines of the C.D. Advisory 'Board meeting
of June 17, 1999. As you will note on Paragraph V, it does not mention that a vote on the
Five Year Plan was ever taken.
As you will remember, during the commission meeting of June 22"d, Ms. Warren,
Director of Community Development, as well as Mr. McKnight, Chairman of the City
Advisory Board, when asked by Commissioner Teele if the Five year Plan had been
approved by the C.D. Advisory Board, erroneously led the commission to believe that it
was, even though I indicated to the Commission that a vote to approve the plan had never
taken place. Unfortunately, this was a public and televised meeting. Many of my family
and friends who viewed this commission meeting, called me amazed and surprised since
my integrity and good name were in question.
On July 1st, the C.D. Advisory Board held another meeting, at which time I asked that the
minutes of June 17`h be corrected. At this time I also made a motion, properly seconded
and approved, to pass the Five Year Plan with some reservations, as stated in my prior
memo to the Commission. This vote was taken in order to correct the record, even
though Ms. Warren indicated that a vote from the C.D. Advisory Board regarding this
matter, was not required.
I respectfully request, in order to clear my good name, that the City M_ ana Ms.
arren o pu icy eetiri from ously
a e commis_ sion on June 22"d that the Five ear P aii had been approved when
this actually did not take place unti my 1st. It is my hope that this action rectifies what
appears to be a wrongdoing.

Chairman McKnight opened Board discussion regarding the proposed Plan by suggesting
that Board members should be identified by name in the acknowledgement to Plan. Ms.
Warren indicated that this could be done. He also stressed the importance of making jobs
available to residents of the Community Revitalization.
Board Member Flor Morales expressed her disappointment that N.W. 7 Street was not
included as an Economic Opportunity Zone. She requested that this area not be ignored.
ids. Warren indicated that a business council was recommended for each District to work
with businesses throughout the area. Ms. Warren indicated that the key was to create jobs.
Board Member Pablo Perez -Cisneros asked if there was information available regarding
age. Ms. Warren indicated that this information was available through census data from
1990. Mr. Perez -Cisneros stated that this information was important to determine who
was able to work in each of the areas. .
OBoard Member Angel Urquiola called the program "perfect", but indicated that
bureaucracy had to be cut and it was important for City employees to live in the City. Ms.
Kluger indicated that it was difficult to move to the City because amenities were not
located there. She stressed the importance of quality schools and encouraged the School
Board to participate. in the process. She also expressed a need for grocery stores and
support services. Ms. Kluger commended staff for the Plan.
0 Board Member Juanda Ferguson agreed with Plan, but indicated that it could be reported
a success when jobs were created and homes built. She endorsed the commercial
revitalization and housing linkages and financing development plans. She said it was
important to accelerate the rebuilding of the City. '. +
Board Member indicated fliat licenses to open businesses in the City were too expensive
and that clean-up activities must be enhanced in commercial areas to promote businesses.
Board Member Iris Cuevas indicated that she liked what she had heard about the Plan but
that she had some concerns about home improvements for the elderly residents of
Allapattah. Ms. Warren indicated ' that the Plan included grant assistance to help
economically disadvantaged senior citizens and also contained streamlined loan assistance
for emergency repairs. Ms. Cuevas also indicated that she "could not approve a book that
she had not read."
Board Member Kluger indicated that it would be good for the Board to attend the Public
Hearing to show its support for the Plan.

VI. Chairman McKnight opened the floor to comment from the general public.
Mr. Roy Hardemon indicated that what has been done in the development of the Model
City area is criminal. He stated that funds were intended for low income persons and not
middle income persons. He commented that the "Negro" community needed help.
Mr. Sam Mason indicated for the record that the Plan had been put together with "delicate
thinking." He indicated that the thesis was defended well and supported it "1,000°io".
Denise Canal spoke on behalf of the Dominican American Foundation. She reported it
had been difficult for her organization to work on its City of Miami projects. She
indicated there was a need for better communication and indicated that there were
"unreasonable" terms in the contract because of "low fiords and high expectations". She
commented that this made the organization's services `generic" and made it difficult to
service its clients. She indicated that the organizations needed to be educated in order to
be effective.
VU. The Chair closed the public presentation portion of the meeting and the meeting was
adjourned at approximately 8:30 P.M.

Attached please find the official corrected minutes of the C.D. Advisory Board meeting
of June 17, 1999. As you will note on Paragraph V, it does not mention that a vote on the
Five Year Plan was ever taken.
As you will remember, during the commission meeting of June 22"d, Ms. Warren,
Director of Community Development, as well as Mr. McKnight, Chairman of the City
Advisory Board, when asked by Commissioner Teele if the Five year Plan had been
approved by the C.D. Advisory Board, erroneously led the commission to believe that it
was, even though I indicated to the Commission that a vote to approve the plan had never
taken place. Unfortunately, this was a public and televised meeting. Many of my family
and friends who viewed this commission meeting, called me amazed and surprised since
my integrity and good name were in question.
On July 1st, the C.D. Advisory Board held another meeting, at which time I asked that the
minutes of June 17`h be corrected. At this time I also made a motion, properly seconded
and approved, to pass the Five Year Plan with some reservations, as stated in my prior
memo to the Commission. This vote was taken in order to correct the record, even
though Ms. Warren indicated that a vote from the C.D. Advisory Board regarding this
matter, was not required.
I respectfully request, in order to clear my good name, that the City Manager asks Ms.
Warren to publicly apologize to me, at the next commission meeting, for erroneously
advising the commission on June 22"d that the Five Year Plan had been approved when
this actually did not take place until July 1s`. It is my hope that this action rectifies what
appears to be a wrongdoing.

City of Miami Board of Commissioners
From: Hattie Willis, President, Communities United
Subject: City of Miami Consolidated Plans: Fiscal Years 1999-2004
Date: July 25, 1999
On Tuesday July 27, 1999 the City of Miami's Board of Commissioners will vote on the
adoption the City's five year consolidated plan. We support this plan and believe that it
reinforces our organizations agenda to enhance the quality of life in the Little Haiti community in
very tangible and concrete ways. While we approve of the plan in general terms, we would like
to take this opportunity to recornmend modifications specifically for the Edison Little River
Community Revitalization District.
The City proposes to create Community Revitalization Districts which include Home Ownership
Zones, Economic Opportunity Zones, as wcll as Quality of Life Enhancement Strategies. This
model proposes to use strategies which will provide intensive and focused assistance to
distressed neighborhoods. We will comment on issues which we have identified in each focus
area:
Edison/Little River District
Our first concern is with the fact the District as been designated as Edison/Little River.
We propose that the District be renamed Edison/Little River/Little Haiti.
We are also concerned that the new boundaries have excluded areas which have traditionally
been part of that District and which share its general characteristics. The new boundaries are:
NW 790s Street to the North
NE 2nd Avenue to the East ( with industrial park to the East)
I-95 to the West
NW 54" Street to the South
We propose that the boundaries be redrawn as follows:
NW 79i° to the North
48t° Street to the South
Biscayne Boulevard to the East
I-95 to the West
Areas South of 54" Street and East of N-E 2"d Avenue must be included since the current
residents are still at or below poverty levels.

name ownersulp zones
The boundaries recommended for the Home Ownership Zone in the Edison/Little River District
are as follows:
NW 79's Street to the North
NE 2,d Avenue to the East
1-95 to the West
NW/NE 54`h Street to the South
We propose that the following area be added to the recommended zone:
NW/NE 36'b to the South
NW 79" street to the North
North Miami Avenue to the East
1-95 to West
We support the City's goals to build 1000 home during the first year, however, we request that
the City's target for new construction and rehab for this Zone be set at a minimum of 300 homes.
Moreover, we are requesting to be included in the decision making process with regards to the
selection of for -profit and not -for profit developers. We also recommend that an education
program about the right and responsibilities which come with home ownership be included in
any home construction or acquisition program.
We strongly support the City's goals to provide housing services for the elderly. We also intend
to work very closely with the City on this issue.
We strongly support the City's to provide home ownership opportunities for people living with
AIDS.
We support the City's Code enforcement program, however we believe that it should be
implemented in tandem with a culturally sensitive education campaign aimed at informing
residents in their native tongue about Code Enforcement and violations.
Economic Opportunity Zone
We support the City's economic revitalization strategy which aims to:
promote business development in the Economic Opportunity Zones, directed to
the neighborhood retail and services market
promote business development in the Zones directly linked to the regional
economy
improve public transportation access for residents of the Zones to suburban
employment centers
Jul 26 99 02:51p Hattie Willis 36756-5467 p.3

The boundaries recommended for the Edison/Little River Industrial Zones are as follows;
NE second Avenue on the West
FF,C railroad right- of- way to the East
NE 62nd Street to the south
NE 71' to the North
We propose that the model be expanded to include an industrial as well as a commercial
zone. The commercial zone would include:
N.E. Second Avenue from 48'b street to 84'b
54'b Street from Biscayne to I-95
79'b street from Biscayne to I-95
The proposed boundaries for the Edison/Little River Economic Zone are too narrowly focused on
the industrial zone and do not include the clusters of small business along the commercial
corridors.
Moreover residents of Little Haiti have selected a section a site which lies between 62°d street and
54'" Street and have, through a charette process facilitated by the City of Miami's Planning
Department, designated this section as Creole District, a model for economic revitalization. We
are proposing that a feasibility study for the Creole District be sponsored by the City.
Quality of Life Enhancement Strategy
We support the plan's Quality of Life Enhancement Strategy. We support the policy
recommendations which aim to:
Allocate the maximum allowable 25% to public service programs
• Award bonus points to Agencies proposing to operate programs in City parks
• Award bonus points to proposals including coordinated services
• Award bonus points to proposals establishing partnerships to provide coordinated
diverse services

Dear Ms Warren:
Woody Victor

Andersen Consulting, N.Y.
DirectofS Office
The purpose of this letter is to inform to congratulate you on the completion of the
City of Miami, Consolidated Plan for 1999-2004 and to introduce the City of Miami to a
very important economic revitalization program that is being implemented in the City of
Miami's District 5. For the past 23 months, the leaders of the Edison/Little Haiti have
been working with the National Credit Union Administration to secure a charter in order
to operate Miami's first Community Development Credit Union. Today, we are very
proud to announce that our mission has been accomplished (see attached letter from
NCUA). We are anticipating opening our doors within 60 days.
Although we are very impressed with the comprehensive nature of the
Consolidated Plan, we would like to offer the suggestion of incorporating the support an
Alternative Financial Institution for achieving "Economic Revitalization" in District 5 as
prescribed in the Plan. Going forward, this model could be implemented throughout
Miami's other Districts as a mean for recycling financial resources in these communities
and attracting additional resources from banks, foundations and other organizations in the
private sector which support community developmentfinancial institutions.
According to both the Federal Reserve Bank's "Neighborhood Area Profile" of Little
Haiti/Little River (December 1998) and the Miami -Dade County Urban Revitalization
Task Force report (May 1998), the proposed Little Haiti -Edison Federal Credit, Union
(LHEFCU) will play a major role in providing the disenfranchised members of our
community with low cost banking services in the wake of several mergers and
11817

Page 2
acquisitions and neglect of this markdt by mainstream institutions and achieve a greater
degree of self -empowerment in theses communities.
The PROJECT is a multi -faceted Community Development Financial Institution
designed to spearhead the establishment of the Little Haiti -Edison Federal Credit Union.
The proposed Little -Haiti Edison Federal Credit Union will have a low-income
designation from the National Credit Union Administration and as such will enable all
persons who reside, work, worship, go to school or perform public service in the Little
Haiti and Little River neighborhoods to save money in a federally insured depository.
institution and to make loans to each other at reasonable rates of interest. As a financial
cooperative, depositors of the institution are also owners of the institution.
We will also implement various financial literacy programs designed to encourage thrift
and educate local residents about the benefits of a community development financial
institution. In the long -run, the proposed credit union will reinvest in Little Haiti/Little
River and thereby help recipients on public assistance, owners of small businesses in the
start-up phase, and low-income families who need to buy or repair homes, take charge of
their own development, strive for economic independence and build financial assets to
overcome poverty.
LHEFCU will be a soldier fighting on behalf of people who pay their bills with crumpled
currency from cookie jars, people who loose 5 to 10 percent of their wages to check -
cashing joints and pawn brokers, people who do not understand that it is better to deposit
their money in savings accounts rather than underneath their carpets. Special attention
will be given to those who currently are moving from welfare to work.
LHEFCU will be federally insured with low-income designation. LHEFCU will
have a dual mission of serving low-income neighborhoods and promoting local
community development through its lending activity. In addition to having a community
development mission, LHEFCU will be designated "low-income" and will have the
power to accept deposits from non-member depositors-- individuals, public or corporate,
anywhere in the world.
Background on Initiative to Establish Proposed CDCU
In 1996, community leaders in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood established the
PROJECT to bring access to financial services, capital, and opportunity to the city's low-
income, minority and immigrant residents. The mission of the PROJECT is to organize
struggling neighborhoods ignored by financial institutions and government and to assist
low-income and minority people conceive, develop, and implement economic
improvements for their long-term stabilization and growth.
11817
City of Miami — Departme ommunity Development
July 21, 1999
Page 3
In 1997, The PROJECT completed the implementation of its first initiative by
organizing LHEFCU. Credit unions are democratic banks owned and controlled by
community members who pool their money and make loans to each other. The proposed
credit union's Board of Directors is currently negotiating deposit insurance from the
National Credit Union Administration ("NCUA"). We are currently within 60 days from
opening our doors.
The PROJECT has taken all the necessary steps to meet the NCUA's requirements
for chartering a federal credit union for over two years now. Since 1997, we have
accomplished the following tasks:
b secured federal charter from the NCUA for the credit union's field of
membership and low-income designation;
6 solicited substantial support from mainstream civic organizations, small
business and advocacy groups, including the Greater Miami Chamber of
Commerce, Black Business Association and Beacon Council;
6 received endorsements from numerous officials, including the late Governor
Lawton Chiles, U.S. Senator Connie Mack, U.S. Senator Bob Graham, U.S.
Congresswomen Carrie Meek, and Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas;
6 prepared a business plan to assess the feasibility of the credit union, describe
the credit union's business and development strategy, organizational structure and
governance in detail, and identify the management of the credit union by name;
b secured $110,416 in additional pre -development resources from the Charles N.
& Eleanor Knight Leigh Foundation, Ruth Anderson Foundation, William J. &
Tina Rosenberg Foundation, Alex & Agnes O. McIntosh Foundation, Samuel
Huntington Fund, BAC Funding Corporation, Black Business Association, and a
volunteer corp. of 16 professionals and 5 interns;
6 raised $4.2 Million to cover the credit union's initial deposit base including
commitments for $343,060 from community residents, $4.2 Million from
community -based organizations, $100,000 respectively from Chase Manhattan
Private Bank, Citibank, Commercebank, City National and Sogebank.
As a Public/Private partnership, we rely on banks, foundations and other
institutions in the private sector that' have not adequately serve our targeted population to
finance our capital base. To date, we have various financial commitments to the tune of
$4.2 million for our initial deposit base. However, we need also need the help of
government and concerned municipalities to help us finance the operating costs in the
initial stage. According to the National Credit Union Administration, it takes about 3
11817
City of Miami — Departme#-ommunity Development
July 21, 1999
Page 4
years, for a CDCU to become self-sufficient where our operating expenses can financed
from internally generated cash flow.
Support of CDCUs is now recognized by federal regulators as one avenue through
which banks can address their community reinvestment responsibilities under the
Community Reinvestment Act. Because of their common financial services activities,
banks can offer a range of resources to CDCUs:
o Deposits. Banks and municipalities can make low -interest deposits in CDCUs. Such
deposits can, for example, enable the CDCU to make small loans to individuals which the
bank is unable to make. So far, five banks: Chase Manhattan, Citibank, and
Commercebank & City National, and Sogebank have committed to depositing $100,000,
each, in LHEFCU. Banks in New York City, Chicago, and North Carolina, have also
made deposits in local CDCUs. In each case, the bank sees the deposit as a way to meet
credit needs in low-income areas that are not met by other bank efforts.
o Grants. Banks may also make direct grants to CDCUs. In Miami, Chase Manhattan,
which has entered into a partnership with the North Dade Community Development
Credit Union, has made several grants to the credit union including one for $25,000 for
marketing and another in the form of a $35,000 automated teller machine (ATM). Under
the partnership, Chase Manhattan is also offering 97% financing on home mortgages for
those residing in the credit union's service area. Fidelity Bank in Philadelphia, for
example, funds the salary of a staff person for the Borinquen Federal Credit Union.
Grants could also be made for capital equipment, targeted marketing campaigns,
demographic studies and general operations, or to support financial services which the
bank is unable to provide. Also, Miami -Dade County has been providing grants to North
Dade Community Development Credit Union to finance its operations for the first three
years of operation.
o In -kind Donations. These donations can be either property, equipment, or services.
Material donations can range from used computer equipment to former bank buildings
and furniture. Manufacturers Hanover Trust provided the Lower East Side People's
Credit Union with rent-free use of a branch office in the community that had been closed
for years. Eventually, the bank sold the property to the credit union at a below -market
price. In Philadelphia, the Fidelity National Bank donated its former branch building in
the Germantown neighborhood to a local non-profit group with the stipulation that the
SGA Credit Union be offered the opportunity to utilize the first floor.
o Financial Literary Seminars. As banks that want to increase their market share have
realized the importance of participating in various community development activities for
the benefit of the community at large. Some banks have partnered with CDCUs to launch
community development initiatives which include investing time, energy and enthusiasm
into consumer financial education by offering seminars covering topics as the home
11817
City of Miami — DepartmaCommunity Development
July 21, 1999
Page 5
buying process, budgeting and credit maintenance. So far Chase Manhattan and Citibank
have committed to partnering with 'LHEFCU to: furnish details on the products and
services currently offered through its affiliates, highlight special affordable mortgage
related products; provide first home buyer's seminar within the targeted zone of
LHEFCU.
Opportunity for City of Miami/ LHEFCU Partnership
The City of Miami, through its Department of Economic Development, has
particular opportunities and reason to support the efforts to charter LHEFCU. In the past,
banks have been very supportive of the establishment of CDCUs because they provide
financial services that will supplement those available from mainstream financial
institutions and will possibly allow more people to use conventional bank services.
LHEFCU is seeking a public source to partner with for the first three years of operation.
The City of Miami and LHEFCU can have a mutually beneficial relationship.
LHEFCU can be the City's Economic Development piece for District 5.
HOW PROPOSED CDCU CAN ASSIST CITY OF MIAMI BENEFIT
b Provide access to credit for community development that promotes
long-term economic and social viability Economic Revitalization
b To empower low and very low-income persons in federally assisted
and public housing efforts to achieve self-sufficiency Economic Revitalization
b To create jobs accessible to low and very low-income persons Economic Revitalization
d Inform City of Miami about community needs Needs Ascertainment
b Assist in communicating with community Outreach
b Assist in marketing City services Outreach
d Inform residents about community economic devpmnt programs Outreach/Investment
LHEFCU can also assist the City of Miami in reaffirming its commitment to
making the Little Haiti/Edison community in South Florida more viable marketplace. The
City of Miami , in turn, has the unique opportunity to help establish the its first
community development credit union specializing in promoting thrift and providing
development capital to the residents of one of South Florida's most troubled and
impoverished immigrant areas. We hope the City of Miami capitalizes on this
opportunity to develop a more proactive presence in our community in South Florida by
entering into a partnership with LHEFCU to assist LHEFCU in covering its operating
costs, capital equipment, and initial deposit base.

Dear Ms. Warren:

Director's Office
In response to the proposed Consolidated Plan submitted on June 22, 1999 to the City of
Miami Commission, we would like to point out that this plan does not include any
targeting for the new construction of affordable rental housing needed by the City of
Miami's very low and low income residents.
Although home ownership housing opportunities may be the City of Miami's ultimate
goal, this plan ignores the needs of those families and individuals that need affordable
housing, but can not afford or prefer not to purchase their own homes(as you know, even
the most subsidized affordable home ownership housing programs require individuals
with some sort of repaired credit, employment history and Buyer down payment equity).
This plan excludes any possibility of setting aside minimal amounts of resources to attract
funds from the very successful Federal Housing Tax Credit Program. This program,
which is administered and monitored by the State of Florida, has been successful in
producing over 160,000 units in the State of Florida over the past 13 years. This
program, annually awards over $180 million in equity to be invested only in affordable
rental housing. Unlike unsuccessful housing programs like Section 8, the tax credit
program is heavily regulated by the State, which monitors the owners and management
companies of these new construction rental communities. The Tax Credit program is
extremely competitive, which insures that only the most qualified companies are
successful in developing, owning, and operating these communities.

The Gatehouse Group, Inc. has been successful for the past 9 years in developing Low
Income Tax Credit communities throughout the State of Florida, Massachusetts,
California and Rhode Island. This year, we will begin construction on a City of Miami
Tax Credit community in the Lummus Park area of Overtown called Miami River Park
Apartments. This community will consist of a new fourteen story hi -rise with 211 rental
apartments, with rents that range between $334 and $610 per month. This community
will have a new parking facility, community center, equipped exercise room, security
access, laundry facility, tot-lot/playground, volleyball court, and picnic/barbecue area.
As you know, Overtown hasn't seen any new construction development in over 15 years,
and this would not have been possible without the resources of the Tax Credit program
and a City of Miami "Local Government Contribution".
Examples of communities with similar features and amenities which are part of this same
program include: West Brickell Apartments, The Congress Building and The Olympia
Building.
None of these communities could have been built without the assistance of the Low
Income Tax Credit and none of these communities could have been successful in getting
the Low Income Tax Credit, without the assistance of the City of Miami or Miami -Dade
County; because the State requires a "Local Government Contribution" of $1,000,000 or
more in order to get the State allocated tax credit. Although, the local contribution may
only equal less than 10% of the total development costs (i.e. all of these developments
cost in excess of $10,000,000), the State will not award their funds (which usually pay for
over 60% of the development costs), without the minimum Local Government
Contribution.
In order to see the quality of this program, we urge you to visit these communities and
compare them to their surrounding depreciated housing neighbors and other
communities that the City of Miami has awarded funds to in the past. You will see that
there is no comparison, that the powerful resources of this program should not be ignored
but should in fact, be given a priority within the Consolidated Plan.
We believe, as residents and property owners in the City of Miami, that an emphasis on
affordable home ownership housing is a valued objective, but it should not be the only
objective. A consolidated plan that incorporates home ownership programs without
rental programs, would exclude state and federal matching funds that target and produce
new affordable rental housing communities (developed by quality developers) for very
low and low income individuals/families that can only afford to rent their homes.

Re: Proposed FY 1999-2004 Consolidated Housing Plan for the City of Miami
Dear Commissioner Plummer:
For the past three years, our firm, Affordable Neighborhoods, Inc., has been active
in the construction of both homeownership and rental housing in the City of Miami.
We built, or are building, in low-income areas such as East Little Havana, Allapattah
and Wynwood. From our experience, we believe the City's plan to allocate 100%
of its housing resources (HOME, CDBG, SHIP, etc.) in favor of only homeownership
initiatives is not consistent with developing a well balanced and comprehensive
housing plan for the City of Miami.
Although homeownership, particularly first time homeownership, should be strongly
encouraged, many people are simply not ready for homeownership and as such
rental housing is a critical component to any affordable housing program. Please
consider the following.
• The single largest source Hof affordable housing subsidy is through the Federal
Housing Tax Credit Program that is administered by each state.
• The State of Florida, through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation, awards
annually over 180 million dollars of tax credits statewide to successful rental
housing developments.
• This Housing Credit program, by Federal law, is for rental housing only.
• To compete successfully for Housing Tax Credits, the State of Florida requires
that each development secure a one million -dollar ($1,000,000) local
government contribution to ensure the development enjoys strong support from
its local housing agency.
• The City of Miami historically provided HOME funds to worthy rental
developments seeking this tax credit financing.

For example, in 1999, two developments received Housing Tax Credits in the City
of Miami totaling almost 400 units of affordable, urban in -fill rental housing as
follows:
The City of Miami allocated $1,175,000 of HOME dollars which will
produce over $40,000,000 of new construction. This 40 to 1 leverage
of the City's investment is unparalleled in financing affordable housing in
the State of Florida.
These two developments will also provide over $5,000,000 of new ad
valorem taxes during the next fifteen years alone.
® During construction, an estimated 125 new jobs will be created.
Post construction, an estimated 20 new jobs will be created.
Currently, there exists many rental housing units in the City. However, most
of these affordable rental units are both substandard and over priced for the
working families living in the City. As such, the Housing Credit program
represents a unique opportunity to replace deteriorating rental housing stock
and revitalize our urban core communities.
After much discussion and analysis, The Florida Housing Finance Corporation is
finally placing a greater emphasis on urban, in -fill housing with a special view
toward needy cities like Miami. It would be imprudent and inefficient to not take
advantage of the Housing Credit program. Consequently, we believe the City
should maintain a portion of its housing funds for new rental developments to
.achieve some of the benefits described in this letter.

Ms. Dena Bianchino
Assistant City Manager
City of Miami
444 SW 2nd Ave
1 Od' Floor
Miami, FL 33130
Dear Dena:
As you know, we are affordable housing developers based in Coconut Grove. I am the general
partner of 15 affordable housing projects totaling more than 2,200 units, with an additional 7 projects
totaling more than 1,100 units in various stages of pre -development. The developments are in nine
Florida counties and Georgia, with eight of the developments located in l fiami-Dade County. One
of these was the historical renovation and conversion of the Olympia building into housing for low
and moderate income renters.
In recent years, the City of Miami has allocated most of its available affordable housing subsidies
(SHIP, HOME, SURTAX, CDBG) to home ownership programs, with a smaller percentage allocated
to multifamily rentals. Currently, we understand, the City may be considering a 5-year Housing Plan
that calls for 100% of these funds be allocated to home ownership, eliminating any aid whatsoever
to multifamily affordable housing.
While it may be true that home ownership is the "American Dream", eliminating all aid to multiple
affordable housing is inappropriate and misguided for the following reasons:
1. Not everyone wants, or is suited to home ownership.
Given today's mortgage rates, anyone with good credit and $1500 - $2000 can own
a home. If they don't own, it's either because their credit is hopelessly ruined, they
can't or won't save any down payment, or their lifestyle is simply not suited to a long-
term commitment to housing. Most national studies indicate that under the best of
circumstances, 20 to 30% of the population will always choose to rent.
2. Most City of Miami Rental Housing is at either economic extreme.
We have the very high rents of Coconut Grove, Brickell, and the waterfront, or the

Dena Bianchino

substandard inner city tenements. We build rental apartments for low and moderate
income renters that fill the gaping void for decent, affordable housing.
3. The Federal Housing Credit Program is the most productive source -of high
quality affordable housing in Florida and the entire U.S.
This program produces more that $250 million of affordable housing each year in
Florida, and is only available for rental housing under Federal law. These are
developments with large units, wall to wall carpets, central A/C, and amenities such
as swimming pools, clubhouse, security gates, day care centers, etc. They are in every
way equal to or superior to market rate rental projects.
4. The Housing Credit Program provides 90% or more of the financing for
affordable projects, but requires local matching funds of up to only 10%.
For example, there were two successful City of Miami applications for this funding
in 1999; River Park Apartments and Wynwood Tower. These two developments
represent 397 urban irM units, development costs of nearly $40 million, and required
a total of $1,175,000 in low interest HOME loans from the City.
Thus the City has leveraged its funds nearly 40 to 1, and will have 387 high quality
affordable units serving low and moderate income families at a loan cost of less that
S300 per unit.
5. Single family affordable units, because there is no similar Federal housing credit
program, require much greater subsidy.
Attached is Status of City of Miami Affordable Housing Projects for 1998-2000,
prepared by the City of Miami Department of Community Development. Home
ownership projects total 874 units at an estimated development cost of nearly $87
million. The City required subsidies amount to $16,545,000.
Therefore, the City is leveraging its funds at a ratio of less than 6 to 1, as opposed
to 40 to 1 for the rental projects, and is loaning nearly $19, 000 per unit, as opposed
to $300 per unit for the rentals.
6. Housing credit financing is provided by tax credit syndicators and national
financial institutions, primarily based in New York or Boston. Financing for
single family projects comes from local banks and City or County programs.
Using the examples above, the rental developments will provide nearly S40 million
Dena Bianchino
Page 3 of 3
July 8, 1999
in investment flowing into local jobs and local businesses from outside the State,
whereas the single family projects will simply be a recirculation of local funds.
7. The City gets much more in ad valorem taxes from its loans to multi -family
developments.
In the examples above, the multifamily rental loans will be repaid within three years
from increases in the ad valorem taxes on these projects, while the home ownership
loans will require more than 8 years to repay the loans.
No one opposes home ownership; but it's not the solution for everyone all the time. In terms of
leveraging scarce City funds, multifamily rentals provide much more benefit for every City dollar
invested. I hope you will include these comments in any recommendation you submit to the City
Commission.

Subject: City of Miami Consolidation 5 - Year Plan
Dear Ms. Warren:
Received - City of Miami �
Dept. of Community Development
JUL - 6 1999
Director's Office
Congratulations on the above product, I feel certain that you are moving the Department
in the right direction.
However, as a point of observation as I reviewed the plan, I noticed that on page 84,
Overtown Home Ownership Zone, the boundaries exclude the only new construction
single family project that is even close' to occurring, "New Hope Overtown" 40 Unit
Project ( our request to pull permits. is in the City's system.). Additionally, it appears that
the large vacant parcels north of NW8`h Street, between NW 3`d and 6`h Avenues ( I don't
know who owns them ) are ideal parcels for single family units.
Since I am on the subject of the plan, allow me to share a few more thoughts. Page 76
states that subject parcels of City property should be made available to developers at no
cost - which is good. However, according to my research, there are other incentives that
could really push this program, i.e.,
1. A dedicated Neighborhood Reinvestment Program whereby local lenders
commit to offer products and services specifically for affordable housing
- dollar commitments should be several hundred million to over a billion
dollars - consortium.
2. Fannie Mae could provide local bank, savings and loans, and mortgage
companies with additional funds to make loans to prospective buyers.
3. City should offer tax abatements on property taxes, i.e. 10 year abatement
on all new housing, and 15 year abatement to owners of homes in subdivision
or developments totaling 25 or niom housing units,
4. A lease to purchase program would be interesting.
1181
C7
5. An outright grant of $10,000. - $15,000. in mortgage assistance would be nice.
6. Insuring that the properties ( lots ) are environmentally clean and developers
can process paperwork in a timely fashion, coupled with the above
recommendations, your 5 year plan could be reduced by as much as one-half.
Mind you, these are just some suggestions, - still friends - I hope.
Sincerely,
illiam G. Mauzy,
Executive Director
