Resolution Accepting

Shelter Grant
ENCLOSURES: Agenda Item
April 28, 1994
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve
the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept
the 1994 Emergency Shelter Grant in the amount of $368,000 from
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (USHUD) and,
upon approval of said grant by USHUD, to execute the necessary
implementing contracts and agreements; also allocating the
aforementioned amount to the herein named activities providing
services to the homeless and authorizing the City Manager to
enter into agreements with appropriate agencies in a form
acceptable to the City Attorney.
The Department of Community Development has prepared legislation
authorizing the City Manager to accept the 1994 Emergency Shelter
Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(USHUD)in the amount of $368,000 to provide needed services to
the homeless. The proposed legislation further allocates funds
to approved projects for the homeless and authorizes the City
Manager to enter into the necessary implementing agreements with
USHUD and approved agencies serving the homeless.
USHUD notified the City of Miami that it is entitled to receive
an Emergency Shelter Grant of $368,000 as a result of the Stewart
B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act adopted by Congress to
provide services to the nation's homeless population. The grant
requires a one-to-one match which may be met through either cash
or in kind services.
The emergency shelter grant is based on the same formula used to
award Community Development Block Grant Funds to eligible
jurisdictions. The City's 1994 ESG application maintains the
support of the Beckham Hall Shelter ($252,000) for homeless males
and provides funding for the New Life Family Shelter operated by
Christian Community Service Agency, Inc. ($116,000).
The, emergency shelter grant may be used only for one or more of
_the following eligible activities related to emergency shelter
` 4- 290 9-/

Honorable Mayor and Members - 2 of the City Commission
for the homeless:
1. Renovation, major rehabilitation, or conversion of
buildings for use as emergency shelters for the homeless.
2. Provision of essential services (which may include
employment, health, substance abuse, education or food) if,
i. the service is a new service or there is a
quantifiable increase in the level of service from the
prior 12 month period; and
ii. not more than 30% of the total grant may be used for
these services.
3. Payment of maintenance, operation (including rent,
excluding staff), insurance, utilities and furnishings.
4. The development and implementation of homeless
prevention activities (not more than 30% of the total grant
may be used for these services).
Adoption of the proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager
to accept the aforementioned grant, allocates IESG funds to the
aforementioned projects providing services to the homeless, and
further authorizes the City Manager to execute the necessary
implementing contracts with USHUD and enter into agreements with
approved agencies providing services. This is a companion item
to a proposed ordinance appropriating said funds and establishing
a.special revenue fund for said purpose.
