REFERENCES: City Commission Agenda Item ENCLOSURES: December 7, 1999 It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the designation of the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc., a not -for -profit housing corporation, to develop twenty-one (21) new single family homes on seventeen (17) vacant city -owned residential parcels located in the Little Haiti neighborhood. The attached resolution further rescinds certain development rights previously awarded to Housing Initiatives Group, Inc. and Palmetto Homes of Miami, Inc., pursuant to Section 2 of Resolution No. 96-576, adopted July 25, 1996. Moreover, the attached resolution further authorizes the City Manager to convey the subject city - owned parcels at no cost to the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc., subject to certain terms and conditions. BACKGROUND The Department of Community Development recommends approval of the attached resolution designating the Little Haiti Housing Association; Inc. to undertake the construction of twenty-one (21) new single family homes on seventeen (17) city -owned vacant residential parcels in the Little Haiti neighborhood. CDBG Program funds were used by the City to acquire the subject parcels several years ago to develop new single family homes for purchase by qualified low and moderate income families under the City's Scattered Site Affordable Homeownership Development Program. The Program is no longer being implemented by the City and the subject parcels are now considered surplus property. In December 1996, the local Fannie Mae South Florida Partnership Office established the Neighborhood Infill and Stabilization Program (NISP) in an effort to respond to the problem of promoting affordable housing in distressed neighborhoods and urban areas. It is anticipated that NISP will serve to create a model that will enable the construction of new or the rehabilitation of existing single family housing stock in areas where market values do not support the actual cost of construction or rehabilitatiorr-and/or the purchase price of the housing unit. The Pilot PWgram has focused on the construction of new single family homes on vacant parcels in the Little Haiti and Overtown 99- 9r-9 neighborhoods of the City of Miami as well as Homestead and Florida City, in South Miami -Dade County. The developers selected to participate in the program are neighborhood based non-profit organizations or community development corporations (CDCs), which include the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc., Greater Miami Neighborhoods, Inc., St. John Community Development Corporation, BAME Development Corporation of South Florida, Inc., New Washington Heights CDC, Centro Campesino, Covenant CDC, and the Nehemiah Project of Homestead. Funding in the amount of $3 Million from Fannie Mae and $1 Million in Documentary Surtax Program funding from Miami -Dade County has been allocated to this program. In July of 1996, through Resolution No. 96-576, the City Commission approved the designation of Housing Initiative Group, Inc. and Palmetto Homes of Miami, Inc., to develop ten (10) new single family homes on nine (9) city -owned parcels located in the Edison -Little River and Model City neighborhoods. Due to the developer's lack of performance, it is recommended that the City Commission rescind Section 2 of the aforementioned resolution and direct the City Manager to convey the subject city -owned parcels to the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc. Several of the subject city -owned parcels have title problems and the Little Haiti Housing Association, Inc. has agreed to accept all the parcels, including those with the title defects, and "rill assume the responsibility of defraying the cost of securing good and marketable title for each property prior to the commencement of construction. The attached resolution authorizes and directs the City Manager to convey the subject parcels at no cost to the aforementioned corporation. In addition, the organization is required to commence construction on the subject city -owned parcels within twelve (12) months from the date of conveyance by the City or said parcels wrill revert back to the City. The City is in a position to assist the private sector in the development of new homeownership housing affordable to very low, low and moderate -income families in the Little Haiti neighborhood by making seventeen (17) parcels of vacant land currently under City -ownership available for such development. In an effort to further promote the development of new single-family homes in the Little Haiti neighborhood, City Commission adoption of the attached resolution is respectfully recommended.
