BACKGROUND: The Department of Community Development has prepared the appropriate legislation for a public hearing on the 19th Year CDBG program scheduled for this date. This will be the only hearing at the City Commission regarding the proposed allocation. In addition, staff has anticipated that $1,400,000 in program income will be received during the coming year in terms of revenues from various housing ($1,200,000), building demolition, and economic development loan funds. This supplement to the Ci ty's grant amount brings the total CDBG funding available to $13,971,000 . The 19th year grant of $12,571,000, signifies a reduction of 4.5% over the previous year's grant, a loss of $585,000 in CDBG monies when compared to last year's funding totalling $13,156,000. 9►3- 175-1 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page -2- =— As you are this coming _. allocation, community's 1990 Census. aware, Congress has awarded HUD an 18% increase for year for the CDBG Program nationwide. Each entity's however, varied in part to the extent that a poverty data differed from the norm according to the On average, poverty in all metropolitan areas increased by 16% during the ldst ten (10) years, causing an increase in funding for cities above the norm, and a consequent decrease for cities below. In the case of Mi ami , the 1990 Census ref ected a 1 oss of 23,251 poor individuals, or a 20% decrease in the poverty rate. This reduction in poverty rate, in contrast with the national increase, caused the loss of $585,000 in CDBG allocations to Miami. The Ci ty's effort to adjust the Census fi gure has been unsuccessful as the U.S. Census Bureau reaffirmed its decision not to update its head count for people likely to have been uncounted. Thi s was a very di fficul t year due to the 1 oss i n fundi ng and the substantial increase in proposals received by the City of Miami for CDBG assistance. We received 165 proposals for a total of 44 million dollars worth of funding requests for the 19th year CDBG program . In spite of increased community development needs, primarily in low income neighborhoods, and the decrease in federal assistance, the City's CDBG Program is expected to maintain the same level of services, with minor budgetary adjustments, to the community. Attachment 1 is a summary of recommended projects by both the Board and staff. The major difference between the Board and staff recommendations is that staff has sought to maintain funding for existing social programs. The Board, on the other hand, recommended inclusion of nine (9) new social service agencies while substantially reducing funding for existing agencies and eliminating assistance to Lions Home for the Blind. Another difference in recommendation for funding between staff and the Board consists of the Board reducing the City's Housing Programs by $500,000, Administration by $400,000 and Code Enforcement by $200,000 for a total budget cut of $1,100,000. The Board was of the opinion that 93- 175-1. The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page -3- the Ci ty's General Fund, or HOME grant monies, could absorb this cutback in administrative and housing cost, Staff, however, recommended against this action. I. HOUSING Since 1978, a major portion has been earmarked for the di rect grants to low and purpose of financing needed rolled over into the program and grants to the Ci ty's low of the City's annual CDBG allocation provision of low -interest loans and moderate income homeowners for the home repairs. Loan repayments are and used to provide additional loans and moderate income homeowners. In addition, the CDBG funded Multifamily Rehabi1itation Loan Program provides rehabilitation financing for needed repairs to rental housing projects located in the Ci ty's Community Development Target Areas, at interest rates and terms which would not require major rent increase burdens to be passed on to the low income tenants . The Department of Development and Housing Conservation applied for 19th Year Community Development Block Grant Program funding for the Single Family and Multifamily Rehabilitation Loan Programs at the level of $1,500,000 and $2,000,000, respectively. Staff recommends an allocation of $1 million for Single Family Rehabilitation Loan Program and $1 million for the Multifamily Rehabilitation Loan Program. The Citywide Community Development Advisory Board recommended $1,500,000 total for both City housing programs. This represents an increase of $500,000 from the previous year's allocation of $1,000,000. The recommendation of the Board, however, signifies a loss of $1.8 million for the Ci ty's housing programs since this year the City will receive $3.5 million in federal HOME Program funds as opposed to $5.3 million received last year. Staff and the Advisory Board also recommended that a Housing Community Development Corporation (CDC's) Reserve Fund in the amount of $500,000 be established to provide administrative funds for those Community Development Corporations (CDC'$) engaged in housing related activities in the City of Miami. Presently, nine (9) community development corporations are receiving administrative funding through the CDBG Program. Seven R ;a 93- 175.1 IN N W The Honorable of the City Page -4- Mayor and Members Commission (7) of the CDC's are presently receiving administrative funding at a level of $50,000 each, which include the Allapattah business Development Authority, CODEC, East Little Havana CDC, Tacolcy Economic Development Corporation, Florida Housing Cooperative, Inc., St. John Community Development Corporation and the Little Haiti Housing Association. Only the Wynwood Community Economic Development Corporation which was allocated $75,000, and Greater Miami Neighborhoods (GMN) which was allocated $100,000, recieved administrative funding at a higher level. GMN is not your standard community based organization, since it provides project development and technical assistance to other non-profit housing organizations involved in the development of neighborhood housing projects. Staff is recommending that administrative funding be provided only to the ei ght (8) CDC's presently receiving CDBG funding for undertaking housing related activities for specific housing projects which are being planned throughout the City at a level of $50,000 each. Only Greater Miami Neighborhoods, Inc., will be funded at $100,000. The Board and staff agree on no funding for the Allapattah Business Development Authority (project funding), Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation (project funding) , Little Haiti Task Force (project funding) and Model Housing Cooperative, Inc. (administrative funding) . 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 nei ghborhoods - 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. Due to a 4.5% decrease in the Ci ty's 19th Year CDBG entitlement, the available amount for public services will also decrease from $1,973,250 to $1,885,650 (a reduction of $87,600). In the 18th n `n s FI 3_ 175•I. The Honorable Mayor and Members of the U ty Cvmmi ssi on Page -5- Year, the City Commission allocated the allowable 15% cap of its C.D. allocation for public services and the recommendations of both the Citywide Advisory Board and the administration support the continuation of this policy. In the 19th C.D. Year, staff received funding requests for public services in the amount of $5,891,399. The 19th Year staff recommendation for the allocation of the allowable $1,885,650 for public services is based on the following rationale: 1. Fund existing food programs at the current 18th Year level. (- d� 2. Due to the decrease in funding, new programs are not recommended for funding. 3. Eliminate the following three (3) public services projects: — t A. Coconut Grove Family Health Clinic ($55,892) - This agency received a $2.2 million grant from the federal government to acquire a new, larger facility to maintain and expand services to the community. The €�- grant covers acquisition costs but not renovation expenses. Staff negotiated an agreement with the Agency to recommend funding of the Agency's $450,000 capital improvement project request to cover '- renovation costs at the new facility in lieu of the t;= request for public services operational funds. .8. End ; Horl d Hunger ($14,235) - Thi s project di d not operate from August of 1992 through mid -January of 1993 and garden club activities continued. This activity is perceived . more as a recreational activity rather than a direct feeding program. C. Miami Coalition for the Homeless ($25,000) - This project was established to coordinate a food distribution system to the homeless among community churches to ensure regular feeding of the homeless. The previously funded project has been completed. It is recommended that the $25,000 allocation still be directed to a homeless project. Funding is recommended to support direct services at Beckham Hall 93- 175•1 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page -6- Homeless Shelter, which is jointly operated by Metropolitan Dade This allocation will help `- County and the City of Miami. p counter a reduction of $94 ,000 in the Ci ty's 1993 Emergency Shelter Grant which supports the operation of Beckham Hall. s 4. As a result of Section 3. above, other existing non- food programs must be reduced by only $32,743. It is recommended that non-food projects initially be� z' reduced proporti onately across the board by approximately 1.4%. To reach the allotted available public services allocation of $1,885,650, it is further recommended that non-food/healthcare/childcare - projects be reduced by approximately additional 9.8%. This maintains funding in the categories of service historically prioritized by the City Commission (food, healthcare and childcare) as close to the current level of funding as possible. - It should be noted that, if other new projects are funded or allocations to existing projects are increased, then such funding 2— must be taken from existing public service agencies. The Staff recommendation differs significantly from the recommendation of the Citywide Community Development Advisory f! Board. The Advisory Board considered each project individually, which resulted in an actual recommendation of $2,839,173 for=- public service projects, which is $953,523 more than the allowable funding of $1,885,650 for public service projects. To reach the 15% cap, the Advisory Board adopted a motion which = reduced projects which it had recommended for funding — proportionately across the board. This resulted in an overall reduction of approximately 33.6% of the funding recommendation for each Agency made by the Advisory Board. Attachment ( ) provides an overview of the Staff and Advisory Board recommendations. 1. The Advisory Board recommends funding the following new _ programs, which are not part of the staff recommendation: 1. Christian Community Service Agency (New Life Family = Shelter) 2. Coconut Grove Cares 3. Grace Methodist Church a. 93- 175•1 M10 h The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page -7- 4 . Little Haiti Youth Development Center 5. New Horizons Community Mental health Center 6. Baccus Learning Centers 7. Ann Marie Adker Overtown Community Health Center 8. Model City Crime Prevention Sub -Council 2. The Advisory Board further concurs with the staff recommendation as outline above in Section 3. regarding funding for End World Hunger, the Coconut Grove family Health Clinic and the Miami Coalition -For Care to the Homeless. 3. The Advisory Board also recommended that funding not be provided to the currently funded Lion's dome For the Blind. It is Staff's consensus that the Advisory Board's recommendation will have an extremely negative impact on existing programs which have been meeting identified critical social service needs. This is particularly the case for food programs which have historically been the City Commission's top funding priority. The Advisory Board has used a "bandaid" approach to provide limited funding to several new projects, while at the same time possibly creating new social service needs which may currently be met by existing projects. It is critical for the City Commission to be aware of this possibility in making its final funding decisions in the area of public services. It should also be noted that the staff recommendation will result in the allocation of more than $1 million of USHUD funds to projects for the homeless. This includes the Ci ty's Emergency Shelter Grant which proposes to direct $193,000 to continue services at the Beckham Hall shelter. The recommendation includes the following allocations specifically for projects to meet the needs of the Ci ty's homeless population: 1. Beckham Hall Homeless Shelter (CD) 2. Beckham Hall Homeless Shelter (ESG) 3. Better Way (direct services) 4. Better flay (capital improvements) 5. Homeless Assistance Center Total recommendation for Projects for the homeless $ 22,610 193,000 9,859 75,000 800,000 $1,100,469 93- 175,1 7 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page -8-- Neighborhoods Jobs Program: The Neighborhood Jobs Program is being recommended for continued funding at $220,000; this will supplement the funding provided by the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium for the operation of the Neighborhood Jobs Program. The Neighborhood Jobs Program is responsible for job placement of over 800 residents per year. III. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Staff is recommending funding of fourteen (14) projects totalling $2,393,450. This figure includes $440,000 in CDBG monies recommended for improvements to facilities in five (5) neighborhood parks: - African Square Park/Model City $75,000 - Dorsey Park Renovation/Overtown $55,000 - Eaton Park Day Care/Edison Little River $150,000 - Town Park Renovations/Overtown $609,000 - Williams Park/Ove rtown $100,000 Under Historic Preservation, the Board and staff are recommending the continued restoration and renovation of the Lyric Theater by the Black Archives Association at a funding level of $150,000. Staff also recommends allocating $800,000 for construction of a Homeless Shelter, $450,000 for a facility for the Coconut Grove Family Health Center, and $100,000 for the Miami Mental Health facility. In addition, staff recommends funding of $100,000 for the YMCA-Allapattah Branch, and Street Beautification activities in Edgewater/N.E. 2nd Avenue and along Biscayne Boulevard, in the Edison Little River target area. The Board's recommendation for physical improvement projects concurs with staff's recommendation, however the board is also recommending additional physical projects listed in attachment 1. 0 IML The rlonorabl a Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page - 9- V. CONTINUING PHYSICAL PROJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH HOUSING XCTIVITY Staff and the Board concur with continued funding for the following five (5) projects: 1. Funding for Code Enforcement, Lot Clearance, and Building Demolition is being recommended by both staff and Board at a level of $300,000, $125,000 and $100,000 respectively. The Board, not withstanding, recommends a reduction of $200,000 for Code Enforcement. 2. Senior Crime Match Security Program, which provides home security improvements for the elderly on a Citywide basis, is recommended at a level of $52,250. j`. 3. Tri-Ci ty Community Association's Home Improvement project is recommended at $25,000, a reduction of $55,000. Staff recommends the agency pursue other funding sources and will assist the agency in this regard. VI. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT City Staff as well as the Board recommended that Miami Capital Development, Inc. (MCDI) receive a $250,000 allocation for administration of the Working Capital Revolving Loan Program and $500,000 to continue funding its Revolving Loan Fund. MCDI serves as the lending arm of the City of Miami and provides, under HUD federal guidelines, low interest loans to small and/or disadvantage businesses located or to be located within the low income target areas of the City of Miami. Both, staff and Board agreed to set aside $800,000 for an Economic De.vel opment Reserve Fund which could include funding for Community Based Organizations (CBO's) for the 1993/94 fiscal year, provided they meet Ci ty's as well as HUD's federal guidelines. Our recommendation to fund or discontinued funding these organizations will be addressed at the City Commission meeting in April. 9 The Honorable Nayor and Members of the City Commission Page -10- Admi ni strati on funding for the Department of Development in the amount of $250,000 to manage the Southeast Overtown Park West project is also recommended as part of the CDBG allocations. In addition, staff and Board concur in funding the Graffiti Removal and the Commercial Facade Programs designed to improve store- fronts of small businesses in low income areas VII. ADMINISTRATION Staff recommends that the level for administration be maintained at 20% ($2,514,200) 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 HUED federal programs (CDBG, HOPE and EMERGENCY SHELTER GRANT). 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. VIII. CONTINGENCY A total of $80,450 in CDBG monies have been earmarked for a Contingency fund to cover unexpected expenses associated with any eligible activities or for funding of any new or existing CDBG projects recommended by the City Commission.
