INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Honorable Mayor and Members of the OCT — 6 lOOs

PERSONAL APPEARANCE:
Personal Appearance of Mr.
SUBJECT: Jerry Flick, President of
Affordable Homes by Flick
REFERENCES: Investments, Inc.
ENCLOSURES: City Commission Meeting of
October 13', 1998
Mr. Jerry Flick, President of Affordable Homes by Flick Investments, Inc., has requested a
personal appearance before the City Commission to discuss the participation of his company and
the private sector housing industry in the City's Home Investment Partnership Program (Home
Program).
BACKGROUND:
Since 1993, the City of Miami has been responsible for the implementation and administration of
the Home Investment Partnership Program which is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development. One of the four housing programs which is being administered by the
City under the Home Program is the Homebuyers Financing Program. The Homebuyers
Financing Program provides funding in the form of second mortgage financing to qualified very
low, low and moderate income homebuyers purchasing a new single family home constructed by
a City of Miami certified Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO).
Currently, only City of Miami certified Community Housing Development Organizations
(CHDO's) are eligible to receive Home Program funds through the Homebuyers Financing
Program. Presently, the program guidelines preclude the participation of private sector
developers in the Homebuyers Financing Program.
In order to afford Mr. Flick and/or other private sector developers to participate and receive
Home Program funding through the Homebuyers Financing Program for their prospective
homebuyers, the City would essentially have to modify the program's guidelines to allow the
participation of the private sector housing industry. This would require the City to also amend
the City's U.S. HUD approved Consolidated Plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission authorize and direct the City Manager to amend the
City's U.S. HUD approved Consolidated Plan and the Home funded Homebuyers Financing
Program guidelines in order to afford the private sector housing industry to participate in the
aforementione , �aousing program.
