SUBJECT. FY 1995-96 HUD
Consolidated Plan and
Funding Recommendation
REFERENCES:
City Commission Meeting
ENCLOSURES: March 9, 1995
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached
resolution and ordinance for the City of Miami's FY 1995-96
Consolidated Plan which includes a FY 1995 Action Plan with
funding recommendations for the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) $13,709,000, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME)
$4,038,000, Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) $494,000, and the
Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) $7,906,000
formula programs, authorizing the City Manager to submit a single
grant application for the four (4) formula programs to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and further
authorizing the City Manager, upon approval of said Consolidated
Plan and grants by HUD, to accept the same and execute CDBG
program income of $2,700,000 received from housing, economic
development, and building demolition programs.
The Department of Community Development has prepared the
appropriate legislation for a public hearing on the 1995-96 HUD
Consolidated Plan scheduled for this date.
In addition, staff has anticipated that $2,700,000 in program
income will be received during the coming year in terms of
revenues from various ongoing housing, building demolition, and
economic development revolving loan funds funded with CDBG
monies. As per HUD guidelines, program income generated by
revolving loan funds have to be recycled into the same activity.
Miami Capital Development, Inc. and the City's Housing
Rehabilitation Loan Programs (Multifamily and Single Family) are
the two revolving loan funds that recycle the program income they
generate every year.
This supplement to the City's grant amount brings the total CDBG
funding to $16,409,000 approximately.

The basic goals of the Consolidated Plan are to provide decent
housing, a suitable living environment and expand economic
opportunities. It assesses the City's housing needs, including
public housing and homeless needs, barriers to affordable housing
and community development needs, identifies resources to address
these needs and establishes the structure to implement the plan.
Essentially the new Consolidated Plan process combines the
planning and application aspects of the CDBG, HOME, ESG and
Housing Opportunities for Persons with Aids (HOPWA) formula
programs into a single submission. Funds for the HOPWA formula
program are awarded by HUD to the City of Miami instead of Dade
County. The HOPWA program will therefore, be a part of the
City's submission to HUD. A three to five year plan, with a one
year funded Action Plan, must be developed with the involvement
of the citizens of the jurisdiction, all local governments,
entitlement cities, private sector, for -profit and non-profit
community based organizations and city departments. The
submission of the Consolidated Plan is a prerequisite for receipt
of funds from the four (4) HUD formula programs referred to
above.
Through an extensive citizen participation process and with the
involvement of the public and private sectors, the Department of
Community Development has developed a City of Miami Consolidated
Plan for submission to HUD by April 15, 1995 for the fiscal year
beginning June 1, 1995. This plan reflects the input gathered
from twenty-two (22) neighborhood meetings including those held
with the Citywide Advisory Board.
Funding for the activities proposed in the FY 1995 Plan will come
from the following sources: CDBG, HOME, ESG and HOPWA, each of
which is described below according to project category.
FY 1995 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PRf)[.IRAM
The FY 1995 CDBG Entitlement is $13,709,000. An advertisement
requesting applications for CDBG funding for FY 1995 was placed
in the October 13, 1994 edition of "The Miami Herald". Similar
advertisements were placed in "The Miami Times" and in "Diario De
Las Americas". The deadline for submitting applications was
December 19, 1994. Funding requests (180) in response to these
,advertisements and community meetings in eight (8) low income
areas totaled over $43 million.

Since 1978, a major portion of the City's annual CDBG allocation
has been earmarked for the provision of low -interest loans and
direct grants to low and moderate income homeowners for the
purpose of financing needed home repairs. Loan repayments are
rolled over into the program and used to provide additional loans
and grants to the City's low and moderate income homeowners.
In addition, the CDBG funded Multifamily Rehabilitation Loan
Program provides rehabilitation financing for needed repairs to
rental housing projects located in the City's Community
Development Target Areas, at interest rates and terms which would
not require rent increase burdens to be passed on to the low
income tenants.
The Department of Development and Housing Conservation applied
for 21st Year Community Development Block Grant Program funding
for the Single Family and Multifamily Rehabilitation Loan
Programs at the level of $1,500,000 and $2,000,0OO, respectively.
Staff recommends an allocation of $750,000 for the Single Family
Rehabilitation Loan program and $1,500,00 for the Multifamily
Rehabilitation Loan Program. The Citywide Community Development
Advisory Board recommended $2,250,000 in total for both City
housing programs. This request represents a decrease of
$1,110,000 from the previous year's allocation of $3,360,00.
Currently, eleven (11) Community Development Corporations (CDC's)
are receiving administrative funding through the CDBG Program for
undertaking housing related activities in the City. Eight (8) of
the CDC's are presently receiving administrative funding at a
level of $50,000 each , which include the Allapattah Business
Development Authority, CODEC, Inc., East Little Havana CDC,
Tacolcy Economic Development Corporation, Florida Housing
Cooperative, Inc., Little Haiti Housing Association, Coconut
Grove Local Development Corporation and Rafael Hernandez Housing
and Economic Development Corporation. Greater Miami
Neighborhoods, Inc. and the Edgewater Economic Development
Corporation were awarded $100,000 each, while St. John Community
Development Corporation was awarded $90,000.

Honorable Mayor and Members

Both the staff and the Advisory Board agreed on the
recommendation to provide continued CDfl3 funding to ten (10) of
the twelve (12) community developmer corporations presently
receiving administrative funding for ui-oaartaking housing related
activities in the City. Florida Housing Cooperative, Inc. and the
Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation were not recommended
for funding by the Advisory Board.
The Advisory Board recommended Cr3G funding to the
organizations as follows:
1. Allapattah Business Development Authority
2. BAKE Development Corporation of South Florida

The HORSE Program is a federal housing block grant which affords
state and local governments the flexibility to fund a wide range
of low-income housing activities through creative and unique
housing partnerships among states and localities, the private
housing industry and not -for -profit community based
organizations. Moreover, the HOME :grogram is targeted and
designed to provide affordable housing opportunities to those
most in need.

The HOME Multifamily New Construction Program is designed to
provide financial assistance to Community Development
Corporations and for -profit developers in connection with the
production of new rental housing projects having 5 or more units
through a loan, grant, or combination thereof, for all or part of
the project cost.
The financing terms will allow the rents necessary to support the
operations and debt service of the project to be affordable to
very -low and low-income tenants. Approximately $500,000 in HOME
funds are being recommended for the construction of new
multifamily units in the City.
The HOME Multifamily Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program is
designed to provided owners of substandard rental housing with
deferred payment loans to finance the cost of rehabilitation. The
deferred payment loan financing vehicle would further allow the
after rehabilitation rents to be maintained at levels affordable
to low and moderate income tenants. Approximately $500,000 in
HOME funds are being recommended for the rehabilitation of
substandard multifamily housing_ -located throughout the City.
The HOME assisted Community Housing Development Organization
(CHDO's) Development Program is designed to provide financial
assistance to assist, in part, in financing the production of new
housing or acquisition/rehabilitation of the City's existing
housing stock, to be sponsored or owned by Community Housing
Developmental Organizations (CHDO's).
CHDO's are special types of nonprofit housing developers that
have emerged over the past decade to be among the most active
developer of low-income housing. The HOME Program attempt to
promote and expand the capacity of these nonprofit housing
developers by mandating that a minimum of fifteen (15%) percent
of each participating jurisdiction's HOME allocation be set -aside
for investment in housing owned, sponsored, or developed by
CHDO's.

This program would allow the City to provide affordable housing
opportunities to low and moderate income households through the
neighborhood stabilization efforts of such organizations as the
East Little Havana CDC, Tacolcy Economic Development Corporation,
St. John CDC, Florida Housing Cooperative, Inc., Urban League of
Greater Miami and othe7- community based housing corporations.
Approximately $2,134,20C a HOME funds are being recommended for
this activity.
The HOME assisted Homebuyer's Financing Program is designed to
enable low and very low income first-time homebuyers to purchase
a newly constructed or existing home utilizing HOME funds would
be provided in the form of a permanent first or second mortgage
financing to assist very low and low-income families in
purchasing affordable housing units developed under the City's
Scattered Site Affordable Homeownership Development Program or by
CDCs/Developers. Approximately $500,000 in HOME funds are being
recommended for this activity.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development allows up to
ten percent (10%) of the City of Miami's HOME Program allocation
for administrative expenses which include general programmatic
and financial administration, planning, reporting and overall
program compliance activities. Approximately $403,800 in HOME
Program funds are being recommended for this purpose.
In February of 1995, the City of Miami was officially notified by
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development of the
availability of $7,906,000 in HOPWA Program funding for FY 11995-
96. As a result, the City of Miami, acting through the Department
o Development and Housing Conservation will be applying for the
f.:ical year 1995 HOPWA Program funding on behalf of the cities of
Hialeah, Miami, Miami Beach and Dade County. To date, the City
Administration has obtained input from the representatives of the
three (3) aforementioned jurisdictions, various Ryan White
Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency funding recipients, local
area AIDS service providers and persons living with AIDS.

II. PUBLIC SERVICES
Support services which complement the physical and economic
development thrust of the Community Development Program are
essential to assist residents and improve the quality of life in
neighborhoods. The public services programs recommended for
funding are tailored to meet the needs of the particular
neighborhoods and include: meals, elderly services, child care,
primary health care and special needs.
Federal regulations limit available C.D. funding for public
services to a fifteen per cent (15%) cap of the total C.D. grant.
In accordance with the public services cap, a total of $2,056,350
is available to allocate for public services in the 21st Year.
In the 21st Year, the administration recommends that the City
Commission allocate the allowable 15% cap of its C.D. allocation
for public services. While the Citywide Advisory Board reached
an impasse as to allocations of public services monies to
specific service providers during its deliberations, it was
apparent that the Advisory Board supported the administration's
recommendation to allocate the maximum 15% to support public
service programs.
11252
r
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
Page -9-
The Board also alluded to the importance of lobbying federal
legislators to either increase or eliminate the 15% public
services cap.
In the .20th Year, the City Commission allocated a total of
$2,290,609. This amount included the maximum available under the
public services cap as well as an additional $238,459 from
indirect costs from the grant.
In the 21st C.D. Year, staff received funding requests for
public service projects in the amount of $9,087,852. The
original staff recommendation would have maintained existing
programs at the 20th Year funding levels. To accomplish this
objective, it was recommended that several existing projects be
transferred to alternative funding sources as follows:
1. Two (2) currently funded C. D. public service projects
providing'services to the homeless would be transferred
to the City's Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG). Under this
scenario, Better Way would receive $20,000 and the
Miami Coalition for the Homeless $22,610 from the ESG.
i
2. Cure Aids Now would be transferred to HOPWA funding
($29,281) for its feeding program to persons with AIDS.
3. Five (5) currently funded C. D. public.service. projects
providing crime prevention related services would be
transferred to the Police Department's Law Enforcement
Trust Fund. The Alternative Programs would have been
allocated $50,000, Aspira of Florida $45,000, the
Centro Mater Teen Outreach Project $20,000, the Haitian
American Civic Association $76,000 and the Overtown
Optimist Club $40,000. A total of $231,000 would have
been needed from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund.
However, the Chief of Police could not commit to funding the
aforementioned crime prevention projects from the Law Enforcement
Trust Fund and the HOPWA Board did not include food programs for
persons with AIDS among its funding priorities. Therefore,
staff revised its original recommendation for the allocation of
the allowable $2,056,350 available for public services as
follows:
11252
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
Page "10-
1, 8xist,ing projects are recommended to be reduced across
the board by 6.9%.
2. The aforementioned projects providing services to the
homeless would be transferred to the City's Emergency
Shelter Grant (ESG) as outlined above (Better Way's
recommended allocation is $20*000 and the Miami
Coalition for the Homeless recommended allocation is
$22,610 from the ESG).
Despite the recommendation of the HOPWA Board, it is
still recommended that Cure Aids Now be maintained at
Its current level of funding ($29,281) with HOPWA funds
for its feeding program to persons with A.1OS. in
addition, it is recommended that the .Center for Haitian
Studies be allocated HOPWA funds for the first time to
m2ra'te a health screening project at a level of
p 556
It should be noted that if other new projects are funded or
Allocations to existing projects are increasers;, then such
funding must be taken from existing public service agencies.
As previogtly m"tioned, after lengthy debater the Citywide
Advisory Board reached an impasse during its deliberations
rogarding the allocation of public services funds to specific
'se'rvioe Providers. At the beginning of the .discussion, eleven
(11) Board members were present and each was given the
opport(Mity to prioritize public service projects At the
,conc]i�si.ori of this initi,al step, projects tota3:3.ing .$3,324;,B67
were ident i f ie - During the next step of the process to reduce
funding to the l.+evel. of $2-, 056 , 350 available, :intense and heaters
,debate led to frustrations within the Advisory Board, resul-ting
in the eventual departure of £taus (4) members and reducing the
number of active Board members to seven (7) . The downsi.zed Board
reached a consensus to reduce 'funding tto $2 , Z52 , BV , etj=
$596,51.7 above the 151b cap.
1-42)

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
Page -11-
The remaining Board members then agreed to revisit each
identified project and either accept the previously proposed
allocations or completely reject each proposal on an individual
basis. The objective of this action was to reduce the committed
allocation for public services to an amount under the cap. As a
result of this process, the Advisory Board had committed only
$1,102,568, leaving $953,782. After continued discussion
without resolve, another Board member left and the remaining six
(6) members could not agree upon a formula to allocate the
remaining funds. An impasse was reached and the Advisory Board
did not make a final recommendation.
It is the Administration's perception that the downsized Board
resulting from the departure of a significant number of its
members was not representative of the public service interests of
the community as a whole. Therefore, the column for Board
Recommendations under the Public Services attachment has been
left blank. However, in fairness to all projects under
consideration for funding, it should be noted that the following
five (5) new projects received continued support throughout the
entire process:
PS-22 Delphi Institute
PS-23 Dominican American National Foundation
PS-30 Grace Pre -School
PS-60 Regis House
PS-74 World of Children Day Care
During the initial identification stage of the deliberations
process, these other new projects also received Board support:
PS-05 Ann Marie Adker Health Clinic
PS-12 Centre Communitaire D'Education
PS-13 Center for Haitian Studies
PS-20 Cultural Arts Advisory Council of Overtown
PS-26 Federation of Art and Culture in America
PS-29 Just a Good Samaritan
PS-43 Little Haiti Youth Development Center
PS-50 Miami Mega Special Olympics
PS-52 Model City Net

PS-59 Overtown United Recreation Center
PS-61 Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Miami
PS-62 Shoot for the Stars
PS-63 SHARE

It should also be noted that the following currently funded
projects received no Board support at any stage of the
deliberations:
PS-01 Action Community Center
PS-07 Association for the Development of the Exceptional
PS-27 First United Methodist Church
PS-32 HACAD
PS-37 Hispanic Coalition
PS-41 Lions Home for the Blind
PS-42 Little Haiti Housing Association
PS-45 Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade

PS-49 Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged
PS-68 Southwest Social Services
PS-73 Los Viejos Utiles (Useful Aged)
For the first time, the $494,000 available under the Emergency
SY, er Grant (ESG) is also included in the Consolidated Plan and
fu.:1-,.ng from this source was considered by the Citywide Advisory
Board. The emergency shelter grant is based on the same formula
used to award Community Development Block Grant Funds to eligible
jurisdictions.
The Citywide Advisory concurred with the following staff
recommendation:
1. As previously discussed, currently funded C.D. projects
providing services to the homeless were transferred to
the ESG. Under this recommendation, Better Way's
allocation would be $20,000 and the Miami Coalition for
the Homeless allocation $22,610.
2. The New Life Family Shelter operated by the Christian
Community Service Agency for homeless families would be
continued at a funding level of $100,000 and funding
for City staff providing essential services at the
Beckham Hall Shelter for homeless males would be
$80,000.
11252
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
Page -13-
3. The City of Miami Homeless project operated by Ms. Livia
Garcia would be funded at a level of $271,390.
It should be noted that the aforementioned recommendation does
not include funding to Metropolitan Dade County for operating
costs at the Beckham Hall Shelter. City support at this facility
would be exclusively in the form of City staff providing direct
services at the facility.
44z10i V \
Staff is recommending funding of eight (8) projects totalling
$2,080,000. This figure includes $1,150,000 in CDBG monies
recommended for improvements to facilities in low income
neighborhood parks.
Staff also recommends allocating $70,000 for landscaping and
street improvements in the West Grove area, $100,000 for
construction of a new daycare facility at the San Juan Daycare
and Neighborhood Center, $85,000 for the Greater Miami Services
Corp. Inc., to involve 12 young adults (18-23) in community
projects, $300,000 for the Little Haiti Housing Association to
carry out street improvements and beautification in the
Edison/Little Haiti area; $25,000 to the Downtown Development
Authority for an environmental and public art improvement
project; $250,000 for the renovation of the Tower Theatre; and
$100,000 for street improvements and landscaping along Biscayne
Boulevard in the Edison area.
The Board's recommendations for physical improvements projects
concur with staff's recommendations except that the Board
recommends a reduced allocation of $100,000 for the Little Haiti
Housing Association; and increased allocation of $170,000 for
Greater Miami Services Corp.; a reduced allocation of $1,000,000
for improvements of neighborhood parks;
$10,000 for the Tower Theatre, and no funding for Biscayne
Boulevard Street Improvements and Landscaping in the Edison
area. The Board is also recommending the following
additional physical improvements projects:

Neighborhood Jobs Development Program, $100,000 for Tacolcy
Economic Development Corporation, to assist in the construction
of its Edison Marketplace project and set aside $713,750 for an

The major difference between staff and Board recommendations is
that the Board supports funding of $125,207 to the Better Way of
Miami, Inc. for the start-up of a for -profit meal catering
service and funding of the Haitian Organizations of Women (HOW)
in the amount of $166,893 for establishment of a revolving loan
fund for small Haitian business. The proposed project will
unnecessarily duplicate services provided by MCDI. The financing
needs identified by H.O.W. can be met through the combination of
MCDI's existing RLF fund and the new Micro -enterprise Citywide
RLF program. In addition, the Board also recommends $200,000 to
Miami Dade Community College to set up a landscaping training
program for Overtown residents.
Staff recommends funding for the Department of Development in the
amount of $150,000 to manage the Southeast Overtown/Parkwest
project, and $202,100 for a new Code Compliance Assistance
Program, to provide a financial source from which businesses can
draw, to bring buildings up to City code standards. Also, it is
recommended that $150,000 be allocated to the Latin Chamber of
Commerce Hemispheric Congress and $50,000 for business assistance
to the Miami -Dade Chamber of Commerce.
V. ADMINISTRATION
Staff recommends that the level for administration be maintained
at 20% ($2,741,800) which is what HUD's federal guidelines allows
for general programmatic and financial administration, planning,
reporting, compliance, indirect costs and overall monitoring of
the various HUD federal programs. This allocation also includes
$50,000 in funding for. HOPE (Housing Opportunities Project for
Excellence), a non-profit agency which promotes fair housing
loans and investigates housing discrimination complaints. Both
staff and Board agreed on funding this program.
