RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution which
allocates $347,000 of Emergency Shelter Grant Funds to three (3) previously approved homeless
projects, and further authorizes the City Manager to execute agreements with said agencies in a
form acceptable to the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND
On March 23, 1996, the City Commission adopted Resolution 96-208 which authorized the
City Manager to submit the City of Miami's 1996 Consolidated Plan to the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (U.S. HUD)
The Consolidated Plan included an Action Plan reflecting specific projects to be implemented by
the City of Miami through the 1996-97 Emergency Shelter Grant. When the City Commission
adopted the Action Plan, it was anticipated that the City's Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG)
would remain at the previous year's funding level of $494,000. However, when U.S. HUD
released its 1996-97 allocations, the City's grant was reduced to $347,000.
The Action Plan included the following three (3) projects providing services to the homeless
population:
Betterway of Miami, Inc. - This Agency is recommended for funding at the current level of
$20,000 to supplement operational expenses of this homeless shelter for recovering substance
abusers.
Christian Community Service Agency, Inc. - This Agency is recommended for funding at a level
of $80,000 to supplement operational expenses at the Agency's New Life Family Shelter. This
shelter is the only homeless shelter which provides services for intact families. This
recommendation reflects a $20,000 reduction from the 1995-96 Emergency Shelter Grant
allocation from the City.
0
City of Miami Homeless Project . This City operated project is recommended for funding at a
level of $247,000 to supplement operational expenses for this information and referral project
directed to the homeless. This recommendation reflects a reduction of $44,390 from the
project's 1995-96 Emergency Shelter Grant allocation of $271,390.
The proposed resolution effectuates the intent of the approved Consolidated Plan by allocating
$347,000 of Emergency Shelter Grant funds to the aforementioned previously approved agencies
and further authorizes the City Manager to execute agreements with these agencies in a form
acceptable to the City Attorney.
