Market and Inventory Characteristics 1. community Description i Background and Trends Change in South Florida, specifically in the City of Miami, ib one of the few things one can always depend upon, however; the nature and impact of the change is often unpredictable. While the refugee/exile population from the Caribbean, Central and South America will continue, it is very difficult to predict the rate of such. A major contributor to this region's almost constant state of flux was the arrival on August 24,'1992 of Hurricane Andrew. Although the City of Miami itself was fortunately spared most of the tremendous destruction which occurred, the storm's repercussions are still quite evident in terms of creating major adjustments in the housing markets,• local/regional economics and transportation patterns. 93- 637 As. more data becomes readily available, from Post - Andrew market studies, it will be interesting to observe whether current trends/projections actually become a reality or rather if it will be necessary for the City to rethink and revise this five year housing strategy and the consecutive years' annual housing goals. . Currently, it is interesting to note that the so- called "outmoded" data utilized in the 1992 CHAS Plan appears to be remarkably similar to the data provided in the U.S. HUD CHAS Databook, and if anything, the projections and trends made in 1992, appear to be coming true. According to the official count from the U.S. Census Bureau, the 199,0 figures reflect a three percent (3%) increase in total population for Miami over the past decade. - The population figures by ethnic/racial group reveal only a marginal increase in the Black population, a 13% change, from 24% of total population in 1980 to 25% in 1990. For the Hispanic population, a 15% change is reflected between the 1980 and 1990 Census counts, thereby increasing the population from 56% to 62% of Miami's total. The most 93- 637 significant change occurring is the reduction in the white population from 67,249 persons in 1980 or 19% of the City's population, to 43,752 persons or 12% of Miami's population in 1990. These figures continue to reflect the "white flight" from the City and the increasing "Latinization" of Miami. While the total Household population declined by 11% between 1980 and 1990, the Non -Household population increased by 14%. Miami's Hispanic population experienced a 15% gain between 198.0 and 1990, according to the Census figures, thus now comprising 63% of Miami's total households. Black households account for the largest percentage of Very Low Income households (0-50% MFI), namely 58%. 47%,o£ all Hispanic households are'Very Low Income (0-50% MFI). A full 85% of the City of Miami's households are considered to be minority households, i.e., Black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian and Pacific Islanders, while 15% are White (non -Hispanic). 59,915 households or 46% of all Miami's households are Very 93- 63'7 3 Low Income (0-50% MFI). 47% of all Hispanic 'households are very low income (0-50% MFI), while 84,663 or 65% of all households in the City have incomes less than or equal to 80% MFI. Miami's median income at $19,725 is substantially lower than that of the.South Florida Region and the Nation. Corresponding to the previous trends as witnessed between 1980 and 1990, it is anticipated that the City of Miami will see an increasing share of Hispanics, a stable slightly increasing share of Blacks and a declining share of non - Hispanic Whites. The continuing influx of persons from Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, has created a unique local climate for Miami, exhibiting the following characteristics: a large number of non-English speaking 'persons residing either legally or illegally within the City; a vast majority of refugees arriving with little or no money; a significant number of persons, who possess limited job skills suitable for urban America; 93 - 637 i i CITY OF MIAMI CHANGE IN HISPANIC POPULATION BY STATISTICAL AREAS 1980 TO 1990 ' PERCENTCHANGE — Yy 5 0 X or Greater (Decrease) 25%-49.9X (Decrease) ®10X-24.9% (Decrease) ❑less Than 10X (No Change) 10%-49.9X (Increase) 50%-99,9% �� (Increase) 100X or Greater (Increase) uFLACL ---- NET Area Boundary SOURCE; U.S. Bureau of the Census, Census of Population and Housing NOTE: Complete data is not available for census tracts only Dartially contained in the city, MI"I [NfM ArIONAL A►RPOBr BISOArNe / 8Ar / _ NJ ro to I co PPoER A It I FISOArNr I I D E 9Ar I� JULIA TUTTLE CAUSEMAT SDI IN 0 CW DTC1P VENETIAN CAUSEUAT 0 .O q�O 17 rXINIA / asr / 4�1 *OP k �k CITY OF MIAMI I BLACK POPULATION l IN 1990 1 NUMBER OF PERSONS ® 0 1 99 ® 100-249 NW 250-499 5 0 0— 9 9 9 MIAMI l AR p Rr OVAL Greater Than 1,000k11" ..

V. e In many cases housing units become overcrowded as extended families, relatives, and/or friends live together to make units affordable; A strain is created upon local governments to provide numerous services necessary to sustain the on -going influx of refugees; Ethnic/racial tensions are exacerbated as intense competition develops for existing housing, services and jobs, especially between lower income Americans and the new arrivals; The massive influx of refugees contributes both directly and indirectly to the increasing numbers of homeless persons in Miami. In June 1990, the City of Miami's Strategic Planning Office produced a report entitled The Pre -Operational ,Strategic Plan. This document's analysis of neighborhood income and poverty provides the following economic and/or income indicators: In the area bounded by Biscayne Blvd. (East), S.W. 8th Street (South), N.W. 37th Avenue (West), and the 93- 63'7 1/ .ti City Limits (North), per capita income levels are below $7,000. The average per capita income for the City as a whole fell by 4.7% from $9,170 in 1979 to $8,756 in 1989. • The 1989 poverty rate for the City as a whole is estimated to be 31.1% (over 123,000 residents below the poverty line). • The lowest income area in the City is bounded by Miami International Airport .(West),, the Miami River (South), the City Limits (North), and U.S. 1 (East). This area has the highest percentage of households headed by single women with children under 18, the lowest home values and a median household income of $10,48i. The latest official Census ..estimates of household income within the City reveal a very disturbing trend. Surveys conducted by the U.S. Census suggest that median family income within the City declined in real terms (after adjusting for inflation) between 1979 and 1983. This decline in median family income impacts the local housing market by contributing to the following: 93— 637 1 a.

Of these 314,796 persons, the largest group represented, 223,964 persons or 62% are Hispanic, while 25% or 88,319 individuals are Black. White (non -Hispanic) represent 12% of the City's population. For purposes of this CHAS, Areas of Concentration are defined as follows: Area of Black concentration = census tracts containing more than 35% Black population 93- 637 /711 Area of Hispanic concentration - census tracts containing more than 65% Hispanic population. The adjoining Map indicates, the City's Black population is heavily concentrated in the northern and central portions of the City, with a small enclave evident to the south. Miami's Hispanic population . tends to be very concentrated along a straight line running due west from the center of the City, with slightly lesser concentrations bordering that straight line. (See -..adjoining Map) . For purposes of this CHAS Plan, Areas of Low Income Concentration are defined as those census tracts containing 51% or more of the population with median household incomes of less than $15,000 annually. A review of the adjoining Map reveals that the low income i i areas tend to be concentrated around the central core of the City with the lowest income areas falling immediately north i and west of the central business district. 93- 637 -1,�; CITY OF MIAMI PERCENT BLACK NON -HISPANIC ORIGIN PERCENT BLACK NON-HISPANIC__MARCH_1991_ F-1 0.0 - 10.0 10.1 - 35.0 lr ® 35.1 - 65.0 xrun 91,�aara 65.1 - 90.0 90.1 -' 100.0 tr tt l -� rt SOURCE: U.S. Bureau of the Census Census of Population and Housing, 1990.

Market and Inventory Conditions i General Market and Inventory HOUSING SUPPLY: AFFORDABILITY AND AVAILABILITY_ As per the 1990 Census data, the City of Miami has 144, 550 year-round housing units. Although Hurricane Andrew was devastating to the southern portion of Dade County, it is not known to have totally destroyed or effectively removed any units from Miami's housing stock. At the time of the 1990 Census, 90% or 130,252 of Miami's total housing stock consisted of occupied units while the remaining 14,298 units, or 10%, were vacant. Based upon the 1990 Census figures for vacant rental and for sale units, a vacancy rate of 8.21% existed for rentals and a 3.36% rate existed for "for sale" units. However, since the occurrence of Hurricane -Andrew in August of 1992, that picture has changed dramatically. According to a survey of Dade County conducted by Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research, Inc., Fort Lauderdale, Florida in May of 1993, the vacancy rate for rental apartments in Dade County was 1.4%. Of Miami's total housing stock, approximately 2/3 or 66% is comprised or rental units, namely 94,951 and slightly less than 1/3 or 44,593 units are owner units. 93- 637 �.9 - •1 In terms of unit size, Miami has a preponderance of smaller units - 54% of existing housing stock consists of efficiencies and/or 1 bedroom units, 29% are 2 bedroom units, and the remaining 17% are 3 bedroom or larger units. The 1990 Census data reveals that for all occupied units 67.E are renter occupied while the remaining 1/3 are owner occupied. As for vacant units, 55% were available for rent, while 10% were available for sale. The remaining vacant units, approximately 35% apparently were not on the market at the time of the Census enumeration. Highlights of the toll taken by Hurricane Andrew, as conservatively reported by the Miami Herald immediately following the storm in September, 1992, revealed the following damage to homes reported on a Countywide basis: Single Family Homes 8,373 Destroyed 37,245 With Major Damage 40,632 With Minor Damage Mobile Homes 8,974 Destroyed 1,100 With Major Damage 519 With Minor Damage 93- 637 14 Apartments 10,719 Destroyed 13,995 With Major Damage 13,889 With Minor Damage Although the storm's major impact area is generally considered to be that portion of Dade County south of S.W. 88 Street, the outmigration of residents has significantly impacted the City of Miami's housing market in terms of increasing housing costs and reducing vacancies in both the rental and ownership markets. According to a recently canducted.Metropolitan Dade County survey on migration of South Dade County's 372,000 pre -storm residents, 101,000 were living elsewhere in January of 1993 - 44,000 in North Dade County (includes City of Miami) and 57,000 in Broward County and beyond. The monthly rent figures provided in U.S. HUD's CHAS Databook appear to be based upon the 1990-1991 Fair Market Rents (FMR's) for'this region as follows: 0 Bedroom $419 1 Bedroom $509 2 Bedrooms $599 3 Bedrooms $749 93-- 637 -2,1 Based upon these figures, the maximum affordable rents for Very -Low Income Households i.e., S 50% MFI would be the following: 0 Bedroom $305 1 Bedroom $349 2 Bedrooms $393 3 Bedrooms $454 While post hurricane real estate market data is still fairly limited, (numerous studies and surveys are currently in progress), Reinhold P.. Wolff Economic Research Inc. in May, 1993 conducted a sample survey of apartment units in developments 18 or more months cld located throughout Dade County with the following results: Unit Size- veraue Monthly Rent O.Bedroom $474 1 Bedroom $603 2 Bedrooms $773 3 Bedrooms $979 In addition, the proposed FMR's for FY 1994 as published in the May 6, 1993 Federal Register appear to substantiate the results of the Wolff company's survey. 93- 637 IL.1 0 Bedroom 1 Bedroom 2 Bedrooms 3 Bedrooms 4 Bedrooms $471 $590 $737 At this point in time, the City of Miami is experiencing a substantial increase in demand which has clearly outpaced the available supply of housing units, thus creating a very tight housing market with very few vacancies and relatively high rents. Although it is neither accurate nor consistent to compare 1990 income figures with 1993 housing costs, it is possible to make, some postulations. Utilizing the 1993 average monthly rental figures (based upon the May, 1993 Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research, Inc. market survey), of $603 and $773 for one and two bedroom apartments respectively, households would be required to have a total annual income of $24,120 for the one bedroom and $30,920 for the two bedroom units, in order not to exceed spending more than 30% of their household income for the monthly rent. These annual income figures would effectively require an hourly wage of $11.60 for the one bedroom and $14,87 for the two bedroom apartments. Households solely dependent upon support payments, i.e., AFDC, Social Security, SSI, etc. 93— 637 �% would have little choice but to exceed this 30% figure, as would households supported by minimum wage earners, holders of low paying service jobs and unskilled laborers. Limited data is currently available as to the cost of single family homes in the post -hurricane market. Wolff Economic Research, Inc. via an analysis .of courthouse records of closings determined the median sales price for single family houses in Dade County during the first quarter of 1993 to be as follows: Dade County Used Single Family House Sales for 1st quarter of 1993 Dade County New Single Family House Sales for 1st quarter of 1993 $67,759 median price $105,344 median price Miami's post -hurricane housing market is also just beginning to feel the effects of a tougher South Florida Building Code which was adopted June 1, 1993 by Dade County, in response to the extensive damage caused to residential structures by the hurricane force winds of Andrew. As such builders may be forced to use thicker roof trusses, stronger hurricane clips and more roofing nails. Storm shutters are also expected to become standard on most new houses. Wood frame houses would be built with better lumber or more wall studs, and exterior siding would be thicker. Block houses would, of necessity, be built with more steel and concrete. 93- 637 ,'AA- A recent study completed by the National Association of Home Builders estimates that: these new building code changes could add at least $4,000 to the price of a single -story production home. The Builders' study also estimates that this $4,000 rise in housing prices could knock out about 4%. of potential home buyers from the market. Miami's housing market has also received an unexpected jolt in the form of a building moratorium imposed in central Dade County (includes the City of Miami) di*e to the near collapse of an antiquated sewer system. Effective January 27, 1993 a so-called ban on new sewer hook-ups has been enforced thereby severely restricting any type of new development. As far as residential development is concerned, large developments have the option of building their own sewage treatment plants on site or getting on the County's waiting list for permits to be issued on a case -by -case basis following repairs to and replacement of individual components of the existing sewer network (average -waiting period on list is approximately one year). Presently, there is no delay for hook-ups of individual single family houses provided they are built on sites which previously/already had existing sewer service. All -in -all it is apparent that the supply of affordable housing, in both the rental and ownership markets, has not kept pace with demand. 93- 637 1 in discussing the condition of Miami's existing housing stock, it is first necessary to define the terms Substandard and Substandard but Suitable for Rehabilitation. Substandard - is defined by, the City of Miami as any existing dwelling unit which currently has one (1) or more Housing Quality Standards (HQS) and/or Dade County Minimum Housing Code violations. ,Substandard but Suitable for Rehabilitation - is defined _by the City -of Miami as any dwelling unit which is found to be substandard (as locally defined) and is in such condition as to be both structurally and financially feasible for rehabilitation as defined .by Miami's Single and Multi -Family Housing Rehabilitation Programs. Due to the lack of recent and/or: updated local- housing surveys depicting unit conditions, it was necessary to use existing data to provide a.current estimate of the condition of the housing stock and the percentage of units which are substandard and the percentage of units which are suitable for rehabilitation. A comparison of the current housing stock inventory figures from the U.S. HUD CHAS Databook (1990 Census) with those used in the 1992 CHAS Plan (1988- 93-- 637 1991 Housing Assistance Plan), revealed only minor change to Miami's total housing inventory. Inventory figures from the 1992 CHAS Table 2B specified the number of total year-round housing units as 139,898 while the U.S. HUD CHAS Databook figures specified a total of 144,550 year-round units. This increase of 4,652 units or 3% is partially offset by the fact that in the U.S. HUD CHAS Databook figures, more than 5,000 vacant units are classified as "Other" which places themeotf. the market at least temporarily. A comparison of other key indicators revealed a similar pattern of insignificant differences: U.S. HUD Dousing Stock CHAS Databook 1992 CHAS Plan Difference Total Inventory 144,550 139,898 41652 3% Total Rental Units 94,951 93,003 1,948 2% Total Owner. Units 44,593 46,895 -2,302 5% The 1992 CHAS Plan data was then analyzed to determine the following indicators: 1) the number and percentage of all substandard rental ,I- units = 22,752 or 24% of all rental stock. 2) the number and percentage of all substandard owner units = 6,743 or 14% of all owner stock. 3) the number and percentage of all substandard rental units suitable for rehabilitation = 9,654 or 42% of the substandard rental stock. 93- 637 .r ✓1 t 4) the number and percentage of all substandard owner units suitable for rehabilitation - 2,932 or 43% of the substandard owner stock. Assuming that these percentages remained constant, they were then applied to the U.S. HUD CHAS Databook figures to yield the data requested for Table 1B, section B, Substandard Units: 24% or 22,788 of all renter units are substandard. 42% or 9',571 dt' all substandard renter units are suitable for:rehabilitation. 14% or 6,243 of all owner units are substandard. 43% or 2,684 of all substandard owner units are suitable for rehabilitation. A total of 20% of Miami's housing stock is substandard. LEAD -BASED PAINT HAZARDS In an attempt to estimate the number of housing units with lead -based paint occupied by Very Low Income and Other Low Income households, the following :assumptions based upon national standards were made due to the lack of available local data: i 90% of housing units built prior to 1940 contain some amount of lead -based paint. 80% of housing units built between 1940-1959 contain some amount of lead -based paint. 1. 93_ 637 �,A 62% of housing units built between 1960-1979 contain some amount of:lead-based paint. Applying these national standards to the data obtained from Table 9 - Housing Units by Age of Unit, Tenure and Affordability Group: 1990 from the U.S. HUD CHAS Databook, yields the following: RENTER HOUSEHOLDS # Of Very Low- & Other Low- Percent With # Estimated Age of Unit: Year Built Income Households Lead -Based .Paint with Lead- Based Paint Margin of Error PRE-1940 7,585 X .90 = 6,827 X .10 = 683 1940-1959 211,399 X .80 = 17,119 X .10 1,712 1960'1979 33,534 X .62 = 200,791 X .10 = 2,079 Total Renter Households + Estimated With Lead -Based Paint 44,737 - 4,474 OWNER -OCCUPIED HOUSEHOLDS # Of Very Low- & Other Low- Percent With # Estimated Age of Unit: Income Lead -Based with Lead- Margin of Year Built Households Paint Based Paint Error PRE-1940 2,524 X .90 = 2,272 X .10 = 227 1940-1959 7,818 X .80 = 61254 X .10 = 625 1960-1979 4,686 X .62 = 21905 X .10 = 291 Total Owner -Occupied Households + Estimated With Lead -Based Paint 11,431 - 1,143 93- 637 17-q SUMMARY TABLES ALL HOUSEHOLDS BY AGE OF UNIT Age of Units Year Built_ # of Very Low- & Other Low -Income Households # Estimated With - Lead -Eased Paint Margin of Error PRE-1940 10,109 9,099 - 910 1940-1959 29,217 23,373 - 2,337 1960-1979 38,220 23,696 - 2,370 Totals 77,546 56,168 - 5,617 PRE-1940 HOUSING UNITS AS A PERCENT OF TOTAL HOUSING UNITS # Of Pre-1940 Housing Units 15,134 X 100 = 10% # of Total Housing Units 144,550 PRE-1940 HOUSING UNITS OCCUPIED BY VERY -LOW INCOME RENTERS # of Pre-1940 Housing Units Occupied by Very Low -Income Renters 3,755 X 100 = 25% # of Pre-1940 Housing Units 151,134 93-- 637 1n these tabulations indicate the potential incidence of lead - based paint. The CHAS cannot estimate whetner ieaci-oasea paint hazards actually exist- in any or all of the units identified in the above tables. This CHAS simply reveals the universe of units where lead hazards could arise. These tables suggest that approximately 56,168 housing units sheltering Very Low and Other Low Income households, could contain.lead-based paint. It is further estimated that 25% of Pre-1940 housing units occupied by Very Low Income renters contain lead -based paint. The_HRS-Dade County Public Health Unit in cooperation with Jackson Memorial Hospital participated in a Blood Level Screening Pilot Study in 1992. Approximately 700 children between the ages of 1 and 3 were screened for blood lead levels with the following results: Approximately 85% of the children had normal blood levels. . 12% of the children had blood levels above the CDC's safe limit of 10 ug/dL Slightly more than 3% of the children had blood levels above 15 ug/dL Jay- 637 QI Over 1% of the children had blood levels above 20 ug/dL The Public Health Unit is gathering additional background information on children with lead levels above 20 UG/DL, and it has purchased an x-ray fluorescence instrument for identifying lead -based paint hazards. 41 CITY OF MIAMI h0USING VACANCY BY CENSUS TRACT 1990 TOTAL NUMBEROFUNITS — —— 0— 49 ® 50— 99 ® 100-249 2 5 0 — 4 9 9 500-999 1 00 0 NW 7jH-,and Greater W FLACL� IST, d j � ►" e a cy m y cc H to v, ----- NET Area Boundary SOURCE; U,S.

Public Housing The Dade County Housing and Urban Development Department (DCHUD) currently owns and operates 12,088 units of public housing located throughout Dade County. Of these 12,088 units, a total of 6,728 units are located within the City of Miami corporate limits. Over 70%, or 4,803 are efficiency and one bedroom units while the remaining 1,925 units consist of two, three and four bedroom units. Unit occupancy is currently at 90% with 6,055 units occupied. A total of 8,692 households%persons are currently on Metropolitan Dade County's waiting list for subsidized housing. Although it is not possible at this time to distinguish households for Miami as opposed to the remainder of Dade County, a few points are worth noting. The vast majority of the units needed Are 0-bedroom or efficiency units. More than 45% or 3,928 of all 93- 637 households/persons on the waiting list qualify for this size unit. As far as preference is concerned, Dade County uses the Federal preference system to qualify such households/persons. To date, there are 1,374 or slightly less than 19% of all households/persons currently on the waiting list who qualify for the preference designation, and the vast majority, 62% or 856 households/persons, are in need of efficiency or two bedroom units. While Dade County does not have specific information on the condition of conventional public housing units located within the City of Miami, it is known that during fiscal year 1990-1991, over $10 million in funding' was obligated for the renovation and repair of units located within the City of Miami. In addition, over the next five. years, more than $37 million in CIAP fundsi°are projected to be requested for the rehabilitation of develoments located within the City of Miami. B. Section 8 The Dade County Special Housing Programs Department administers the vast majority of Section 8 assistance 41- 93- 637 programs offered within the City of Miami. Currently, for all the Section 8 programs there are a total of 3,097 units under lease and/or contract. For the Section 8 Existing Housing Program there are 772 units under lease as follows: Vouchers 230 Certificates 305 Hurricane Assistance 237 Total 772 The vast majority of this assistance, more than 89%, is for one and two bedroom apartments, and assistance provided for two bedroom units comprises more than 50% of the total. A breakdown of the other Section:8 programs administered within the City of Miami by the Dade County Special Housing Programs Department includes the following: Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Total units = 11593 57% of the units are one bedroom 93-- 637 4% Section 8 New Construction Total units = 100 100% of the units are one bedroom Section 8 Substantial Rehabilitation Total units = 596 93% of the units are zero and one bedroom Section 8 Shelter Plus Care SRO Total units = 36 100% of the units are SRO units The Section 8 waiting lists are currently closed except for a separate list specifically for hurricane victims. The certificate/voucher waiting list contains 2,146 applicant's with the majority, 52%, waiting for one bedroom units. The waiting list breakdown is as follows: 1 1,123 2 431 3 471 4 105 5 15 6 1 48 93- 637 There is also a moderate rehabilitation waiting 'list containing a total of 1,359 applicants, with almost two- thirds, 64%, waiting for one and two bedroom apartments. C. Other Assisted Housing Affordable Housing Programs operated by the City's Department of Development and Housing Conservation include the following: . Community Development Block Grant Multifamily Rental Rehabilitation - assists investor -owners with loans up to 80% of the rehabilitation cost. More than 3,000 units have been'rehabilitated Citywide. Single Family Rehabilitation - provides low interest loans and grants to low and moderate income homeowners for the renovation of their property. More than 1,200 units have been rehabilitated Citywide. Land Acquisition - the City has acquired seventy- two (72) parcels of land located in the CDBG 93- 637 a Target Areas for the purpose of.' developing affordable housing. To date, $1,420,662 in CDBG funds have been used for these acquisitions. HOME Program The City will be providing HOME funds for new construction projects, multifamily rehabilitation projects, First Time Homebuyer Assistance and Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO's). __.

The task force is comprised of elected representatives from the City of Miami, the Dade Legislative Delegation, the Dade League of Cities, the County Manager, the City Manager of the City of Miami, the homeless population, the provider community and the Governor's commission on the Homeless as well as two independent members. For the purpose of the CHAS the following documents were used: Dade County Community Homeless Plan - Dade County Task Force. June 28, 1993 and the Homeless Strategic Plan for Dade County prepared by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and released in June, 1991 (to be referred to as the GMCC Report). i. Needs of Sheltered and Unsheltered Homeless: The homeless population for the City of Miami is estimated to be about 40 percent of the homeless population in Dade County, which is estimated at about 6,000 persons. According to the Dade County Community Homeless Plan, the needs of the homeless population are broad. Most homeless persons report that their primary needs are a place to live and a job. Social Service providers rank substance abuse treatment as a primary need. Health screening and care are also mentioned as paramount needs. 7� 9 - 637 On November 16, 19921, the United States District Court, Southern District of r-lorida, issued an order in Michael Pottinger, Peter Carter, Berry Young, et. al., vs. City of Miami (case No. 88-2046-Civ-Atkins) establishing "safe zones" within the City of Miami to provide space for homeless persons to create shelter and to live without interference from public authorities. The safe zones were a response to the lack of emergency housing facilities for the homeless. The State Legislature recently established a dedicated funding source for homeless programs. This dedicated funding source was established through a 1% tax on food and beverages sold by establishments with gross annual revenue exceeding $400,000. The enabling legislation requires the County to develop a plan for the expenditure of tax proceeds, and also requires that counties and municipalities maintain at least 85% maintenance of efforts to assist the homeless. ii Subpopulations The diversity of our homeless population and its needs. The GMCC Report clearly divides the homeless population into the following categories: 1. About 25% are SITUATIONALLY HOMELESS, i.e., they are homeless for the first time and will remain so, for no more than 90 days, if they receive immediate assistance. There are many families in this group and they generally 93-- 637 need assistance in finding housing, jobs or other such services. They can become self sufficient very quickly with the help of existing programs if these programs are funded at higher levels. 2. The EPISODIC HOMELESS, approximately 30% of the homeless population, represents a far greater challenge. These are usually people who have been homeless periodically over the past few years. They move in and out of housing and the job market. Each episode of homelessness becomes longer and longer. They may have problems with substance abuse and mental illness, but many can, with an extended period of rehabilitation, become reintegrated into the mainstream of the community. In short, their problems are treatable. It will take time ;and more caring assistance from community programs to reflect successful rehabilitation. In Dade County, there are almost no programs that help people for extended periods of time. Unless these homeless have personal resources or their families or friends who will help, they have few alternatives. 3. The CHRONIC HOMELESS are estimated to comprise 30% of the homeless population. These people are usually severely mentally ill, chronic substance abusers or have a dual diagnosis of both problems. This population has generally been homeless for a long time, perhaps a number of years, and they are very likely to have had a previous 19 93- 637 record of institutionalization. This type of homeless person needs managed long-term care and a lot or supervision and the community may have to support .this population permanently since few in this group will ever be able to work for a sustained period of time. The prospect of rehabilitation for this group is quite low. 4. Finally, there are the STREET PEOPLE, estimated to be 10 to 15% of the homeless population. Many experts believe this group is comprised of otherwise funcitioning people who have merely, "dropped out" and have freely chosen to live on the street and avoid work, bills, family, and even permanent relationships. Many in this group avoid programs and services, except the shelters, and some indicate in interviews that they do not want to be rehabilitated. This population is the least understood, but also the most frowned upon by society. It has not been determined whether this population is "homeless by choice" or whether illness or addiction has caused them to be homeless. Generally, there is a perception that these homeless by choice are somehow less deserving of help than the other subgroups. The County and -City will have to determine whether to include or exclude this subgroup as they deliberate about solutions. f. 11 93- 63'7 CHARACTERISTICS ZOHTHE HHOMELESS POPULATION Generally accepted data on the demographic characteristics of the homeless population as presented in the Dade County Community Homeless Plan includessl Population in Excess of 6,000 - 25-30% Chronic Substance Abusers - 30-50% Mentally Ill - 15-25% HIV Infected - 50% have Primary Health Care Problems - 40% Are Families with Children - 5% Are Unaccompanied Teens - 1,800 Children are Homeless 15% Are Veterans - 2% Are Elderly - Only 15% Are From Out of State - 67%;Re.ceive Government Benefits - 10% Are Employed CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POLICY AND SERVICE SYSTEM SERVICING THE HOMELESS (identified in the GMCC Report) Minimal outreach to homeless by major programs and agencies in the area. 1 summary Reports Findings Related to short term capacity assessment and overall capacity analysis. Partners for Homeless People, Price Waterhouse, March 11, 1993. 93- 637 i1 Little or no centralized intake, referral, and case management are present. Advocacy is limited. There is restrictive eligibility in many programs which limits access to the homeless and there is bureaucratic red tape in other programs which makes establishing eligibility for many very difficult. Moat citizens in our community do not want homeless facilities of any kind in their immediate neighborhood. There is an over investment in shelters and emergency care and an under investment in transitional and permanent housing, prevention, and mental health services. Emergency services are the main element of the current system. Prevention services are virtually non-existent. There is competition among service providers and shelters and therefore this region does not have a smoothly -coordinated system of service provision. People get "lost" easily. Most clients are not monitored over a long period of time to make sure that they are becoming fully functional. There are major gaps in the continuum of care, especially the lack of centralized assessment and referral; case management; managed care gl 93- 637 linked with housing for transitional and long- term homeless; advocacy for getting the homeless on entitlement; and mental health and substance - abuse services for the long term, chronic homeless. outreach for the most difficult to reach is nonexistent. Policy makers and law enforcement systems currently respond primarily to businesses and home owners by temporarily removing the homeless from the streets, by incarcerating them or transporting them to outlying areas. The police dislike the homeless because they feel their job is to deal with crime, not act as social workers. The County jail is used as an overnight shelter in order -to keep the business community and the homeowners happy. In other words, 'policy makers rarely take initiative regarding the homeless, they wait for complaints and then allow the police to deal with the problem on a very short-term basis. The more. difficult the rehabilitation process, the less prepared the system is to deal with that person. The present system works best for the situationally homeless. As stated earlier, the needs of the homele,$s population are broad. Some needs of persons threatened with homelessness include: Health Screening - access to health services such as medical, mental, substance abuse treatment, etc. are needed. Assistance in finding employment and job training programs. Assistance is needed in finding emergency shelter or housing (i.e., transitional) particularly for families. Managed long term care and supervision for the severely mentally ill and/or the chronic substance abuser (the dually diagnosed). Case management and follow-up. Financial assistance for emergency rent, mortgage and utility payments. Affordable child care. Accessible transportation. 93- 637 CHAS Table 1 D Homeless Population & Subpopulations U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development office of Community Planning and Development Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) Instructions for Local Jurisdictions Name of Jurtsdiction: City of Miami Florida Five Year Period: (enter fiscal yrs.)

It is recognized that housing is needed with a supportive environment such as that found in group homes, single room occupancy (SRO) units, and intermediate -care facilities to address the needs of this population. Elderly and Frail Elderly The needs for supportive housing for the elderly and frail elderly continue to rise as life spans continue to become more and more lengthened. The cost of housing, rent subsidies, services for the home bound, are some of the problems they face. It.is suggested that low-income housing, housing projects and rental subsidies be expanded to meet elderly needs. g6 93- 637 Severely Mentally 111 Because the City of Miami is a "Tri-Ethnic" Community it is imperative that Mental Health Services be diverse. The City of Miami is characterized by its large refugee population, most of whom are economically deprived. The State of Florida .has redirected funding that used to go to community health centers. These centers were started to keep residents out of hospitals and to offer treatment in the local community. There is a continuous need to expand mental health care' in community health centers and to address supportive housing needs. Developmentally and Physically Disabled The need for Supportive Housing for the Developmentally Disabled is a perpetual problem. Transitional housing, Rental Assistance, the space requirements for wheelchair accessibility etc., should be assessed for further modification. Persons with Alcohol/Other Drug Addiction Alcohol/other drug addiction is a continuing, expanding problem. The current supply of beds from substance abuse and drug prevention service providers falls considerably below the demand. There is a need to provide supportive housing to meet or at least greatly reduce the demand. Persona with AIDS and Related Diseases The demand for Supportive Housing for this particular population is increasing due to the escalating numbers of persons affected with AIDS and related diseases. 93- 637 R- 6 Dade County is said to have the highest percentage of AIDS cases of all the courts in Florida, with Blacks and Hispanics having the highest prevalence of Human Immodeficiency Virus (HIV). Because many persons with AIDS and related diseases are not able to or may not be able to sustain employment, affordable housing is a major issue. The need for supportive housing and other services will continue to increase as the number of HIV/AIDS clients increases and treatment improves. g7 93- 637 CHAS Table 1 E Non -Homeless Special Needs Populations U.B.

"No Place to GO: Housing for HI rAIDS in Dade County, Fla.," 8/20/92 OVERVIEW OF THE*HOUSING MARKET/NEEDS SUMMARY Based upon the data presented in Table 1C U.S. HUD -CHAS Databook, it becomes apparent that the housing assistance needs of the City of Miami are quite extensive. Within the City of Miami, nearly ,one-half of its households, 46% are very low income. This means that 59,602 households have annual incomes which are less than or equal to 50% MFI. As if the above figure was not bleak enough, slightly less than one-third of the City's households, 29% representing 37,472 households, are among the "poorest of the poor", with annual incomes less than or equal to 30% MFI. Consequently, almost two-thirds or 65% of Miami's households are Very Low and/or Other Low Income households with annual incomes less than or equal to 80% MFI. Unsurprisingly, more than half, namely 56% of Miami's Very Low Income households are renters, with elderly households comprising 35% of that total. For owner households, 25%. 51401 households are Very Low Income and half of these are elderly households. Other Low Income households are also heavily rental, 69%, with the largest segment being small related households. V 93- 637 Both the Very Low Income households and Other Low Income households are heavily cost burdened as witnessed in the data contained in Table 1C. Even for Moderate Income householdst representing 7% of all Miami's households, renters prevail as, 59% are renter households. In terms of unit affordability, in 1990 there were 34,674 rental units and 4,994 owner units, a total of 39,668 units affordable for 59,602 Very Low Income households. A deficit of 19,934 housing units for Very Low Income households existed even before the occurrence of Hurricane Andrew. Very Low Income Households According to -the 1990 Census data, the City of Miami has just under 50,000 Very Low Income renter households, with the vast majority of them experiencing housing problems and at least some degree of cost burden. The largest segment of this category is elderly households at 35%, followed by small related at 32% and large related at 13%. There is a high incidence of overcrowding and cost burden for both small related and large related renter households. The total number of Very Low Income renter households, including elderly, small related and large related, numbers 38,836 93- 637 which -is by far the largest number of households with housing needs, and the lowest income segment of this group, xiamely the 0-30% component numbering 25,568, is the next highest group with housing needs. In terms of owner households, Table 1C reveals that in the Very Low Income category, the percentages for housing problems and cost burden are comparable to total renters and very little difference exists between elderly and all other owner -households. Among the Very Low Income owners, specifically the 31%-50% MFI component, all other owners have the highest percentage of housing problems and cost burden. Other Low Income Twenty percent (20%) of all renter households in Miami fall into, the Other Low Income category, with the majority of these 17,255, namely 7,355 households, found in the small related group. However, it is the large related household group which is experiencing the highest percentage of housing problems at 94%. One can surmise that overcrowding is the principal problem this group faces- since Miami's housing stock is primarily one and two bedroom units. For this income category, elderly renter households appear to 91 93- 637 be slightly more cost burdened than either small related or large related households. Approximately 17% of all owner households fall into the Other Low Income category, and almost one-third of these households are elderly. The extent of problems for this income category of owner households is noticably less than for the lower income categories, and the level of cost burden has also declined. Moderate Income (80-95% MF'I) Moderate Income renter households number 5,128 and account for only 6% of Miami's rental market. All the percentages for housing problems and cost burden are relatively low compared to the lower income renter categories, except for the housing -problems (92%) experienced by large related households. Once again, it is logical to assume that overcrowding is the primary problem of this household size. Approximately 41% of Miami's Moderate Income households are homeowners and almost one-fourth of these are elderly households. The percentages ofrhousing problems and cost burden experienced by these owner households is fairly comparable to that experienced by the Moderate Income renter households. The highest percentage, 51%, is for housing 1a 93- C37 problems experienced by all other owners. Overall for this category, the problems and degree of cost burden are relatively low in comparison to the lower income categories. Homeless and Near -Homeless Populations As previously stated, the needs of- the Homeless are extremely broad and vary depending upon the particular subpopulations Situationally Homeless - generally require immediate assistance in locating housing, employment and services. If such help is readily available they can usually become self-sufficient very quickly. Episodic Homeless - tend to be periodically homeless and require an extended period of treatment for substance abuse and/or mental health problems, before reintegration into society can occur. Chronic Homeless - generally, this group has been homeless for a long period of time due to severe mental illness, chronic substance abuse, or a combination of both problems. Prospects for reintegration into society are quite low and generally long term, extended care, perhaps for life, may be warranted. 93- 637 13 Street People - generally are thought to have "dropped -out" of society, and as a group they tend to avoid programs and services. They will be the most difficult to deal with, in terms of finding solutions. Dealing with the needs of those persons threatened with Homelessness will be simpler in the sense that the needs are more easily identified - transitional housing, rental assistance, employment* opportunities, job training, affordable child care, low cost medical care, etc. - and assuming existing programs/resources are adequately funded, those needs should be able to be met. Special Populations The needs of special populations, including elderly and frail elderly, the severely mentally ill, the developmentally disabled, physically disabled, persons with alcohol/other drug addiction, and persons with AIDS and related diseases, center around supportive housing such as that found in group homes, single room occupancy (SRO), and intermediate care facilities. 93- 637 14- C.

Priority Analysis and Strategy Development In response to the State of Florida's adoption in 1984 of the State and Regional Planning Act and the subsequent adoption of the state Comprehensive Plan the following year, the City of Miami initiated its planning process for the development of its local comprehensive planning document, namely the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan wasy officially adopted by the Miami City Commission on February 9, 1989 and was subsequently found to be in compliance with the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs on March 30, 1989. This formal planning document was to set the course for the future of Miami by analyzing existing conditions and current dog 93— 637 trends as a means of forecasting the future. The "steering" or direction provided for the future is laid out in a series of policy goals and objectives as determined by the community at -large. This planning process and public input was accomplished through the involvement of several government, business, community and neighborhood groups conducting numerous meetings, and public hearings over a three (3) yeax: period to develop and reach a consensus as to the City's future. The result being The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000. The objectives as outlined in the following section represent the net result of three years of community planning, and are the consensus of this three year planning process. Objective 1 Provide a local regulatory, investment, and neighborhood environment that will assist the private sector in increasing the stock of affordable housing within the city at least 10 percent by 1994 and 20 percent by the year 1999. Objective 2 Conserve the present stock of low and moderate -income housing within the city and reduce the number of substandard 109 93- 637 units through rehabilitation, reduce the number of unsafe structures through demolition, and insure the preservation of historically significant housing through identification and designation. Objective 3 Facilitate the private and public sector provision of housing in non -isolated residential areas for community - based residential facilities and foster care facilities (including those funded by the Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services). Objective 4 Participate in a regional effort to provide adequate shelter for the homeless. Objective 5 Provide for assistance to displaced occupants where public redevelopment programs require relocation. Objective 6 Allow for replacement of mobile homes on a one -for -one basis. Objective 7 Achieve a livable downtown with a variety of urban housing types for persons of all income levels. 93- 637 IIo Based upon le Miami Is,local market conditions including, the local economy,. demographics;#,,:,local government . experience with administering various housing programs and working with non-profit organizations, the housing goals and policies as established. by the community and set forth in the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, and , the sources and projected availability of funding, the City of Miami has designed a housing, strategy which would consist pf,.the following types of programs/services:- Rehabilitation - moderate and substantial rehabilitation of both single family and multifamily units. Emergency Repair - for the correction of health and safety hazards in owner -occupied single family homes. New Construction - development of new affordable rental housing units and single family houses. Mortgage. Assistance,- development of a second mortgage program to encourage homeownership. Acquisition - purchase of vacant parcels of land for the future construction of affordable housing. (() 93- 637 Non -Profits - provide technical assistance and funding on a project -by -project basis. Senior Housing - establish support system for affordable senior housing developments similar in concept to ACLF's. Homeless - provide participation and support for community and intergovernmental programs provide rehabilitation funding for Single Room Occupancy (SRO) projects Code Enforcement/Demolition - increase local efforts to enforce code standards and demolish unsafe, condemned structures. Special Needs Populations - provide participation and support for community and intergovernmental programs provide rehabilitation and/or new construction funding for developer projects 93- 637 U91 Elimination of Lead Based Paint Hazards promote rehabilitation programs for the elimination of lead based paint hazards provide participation and support for community and intergovernmental programs IDENTIFICATION OF PRIORITIES Based upon the Needs Assessment discussed in the Community Profile, the City's housing objectives as identified in Miami's Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan and a realistic assessment of activities which could be implemented with available and projected resources, the following priorities and activities were determined. Priority 1 Very Low Income Renters (0-50% MFI) (Elderly, Smalls Related and Large Related Households) 93- 637 1127 i. Analysis As previously discussed in the Needs Assessment component of the Community Profile section, the City of Miami has slightly less than 50,000 Very Low Income renter households, with the vast majority experiencing housing problems (affordability and overcrowding). This income grouping is by far the largest number of households in need of housing assistance. ii. Investment Plan (Activities and Programs) The primary housing activities appropriate for providing the necessary housing assistance for Very Low Income renter households are as follows: Rehabilitation of existing rental units to insure that substandard units are brought into code compliance, and in addition:, that potential lead - based paint hazards are eliminated. New construction of affordable rental units to increase the number of code standard, affordable units, and also add to the inventory -of large -sized units (3 + bedrooms) available for large related households. 93- 637 114-- Rental assistance to insure the affordability of rental units, particularly in the case of elderly households. Support services to assist in providing child care, job training, health services, etc. particularly in the case of female -headed and elderly households. Over the next five years, the City of Miami will pursue the following programs and resources: Rehabilitation Federal: State: Local: CDBG HOME LIHTC Section 202 SAIL Dade County Documentary.

Analysis As previously discussed in the Needs Assessment component of the Community Profile section, the City of _ Miami has 20% of its renter households, namely 17,255 households, which fall into this income category, and as such, are experiencing housing problems primarily caused by overcrowding, particularly for large related households, and lack of affordability, particularly for elderly households. ii. Investment Plan (Activities and Programs) The primary housing activities appropriate for providing the necessary housing assistance for Other Low Income renter households are as follows: Rehabilitation of existing rental units to insure that substandard units are brought into code 11 93- 637 compliance, and in addition, that potential lead- -based paint hazards are eliminated. New Construction of affordable rental units to increase the number of code standard, affordable units, and also add to the inventory of large -sized units (3 '+ bedrooms) available for large related households. Mortgage Downpayment Assistance (1st Time Homebuyer) to assist those households, especially small related households, which may be interested in homeownership and able to afford monthly mortgage payments, however, they are not able to save funds for the downpayment on a house. Over the next -five years, the City of Miami will pursue the following programs and resources: Rehabilitation Federal: CDBG HOME LIHTC Section 202 N9 93- 637 State: Local: SAIL Dade County Documentary Stamp Surtax Program Homes for South Florida Private Developers/Investors New Construction Federal: HOME LIHTC Section 202 State: SAIL Local: Dade County Documentary Stamp Surtax Program Homes for South Florida Private Developers/Investors Mortgage Downpayment Assistance (1st Time Homebuyer) 93- 637 1II Federal: Locals HOME Mortgage Revenue Bonds Dade County Documentary Stamp Surtax Program Hermes for South Florida Priority 3 Very Low Income Owner Households (0-50% MFI ) (Elderly, All Other Owners) i. Analysis ` As previously discussed in the Needs Assessment component of the Community Profile section, the City of Miami has 10,810 households in.. this Very Low Income grouping, with almost an even split in terms of the number of households in the 0-30% MFI category and the 31-50% MFI category. In addition, elderly owners account for approximately one-half of these households. The total percentages of Very Low Income -owners who have housing problems and are cost burdened are comparable to the percentages for total renters in this same income category. 93- 63'7 EE ii. Investment Plan (Activities and Programs) The primary housing activities appropriate for providing the necessary housing assistance for Very Low Income owner households are as follows: Emergency repairs of owner -occupied houses, particularly elderly owners, to correct all health and safety hazards, to be provided in the form of a $15,000 grant per house. Rehabilitation of owner -occupied and investor -owned houses to insure that substandard units are brought into code compliance, and in addition, that potentidl lead -based paint hazards are eliminated. Over the next five years, the City of Miami will pursue the following programs and resources: Emergency Repair Federal: Local: CDBG HOME Foundations U 93- 63'7 Priority 4 Other Low Income and Moderate 'Income Owner Households (51-80% MFI and 81-95% MFI) (Elderly and All Other Owners) i. Analysis As previously discussed in the Needs Assessment component of the Community Profile section, the City of Miami has 11,140 owner households in need of housing assistance within these income categories. While the Other Low Income category experiences more housing problems and is more cost burdened than the Moderate Income households, the elderly households tend to fare much better than all the other owner households. ii. Investment Plan (Activities and Programs) The primary housing activities appropriate for providing the necessary housing assistance for Other Low Income and Moderate Income owner households are as follows: . Rehabilitation of owner -occupied and investor -owned houses to insure that substandard units are brought into code compliance, and in addition,- that potential lead -based paint hazards are eliminated. 93- 637 Over the next five years, the City of Miami will pursue the following programs and resources: Rehabilitation Federal: Local: CDBG HOME Homes for South Florida Dade County Housing Finance Agency Priority 5 1st Time Homebuyers with -and without Children (0-80% MFI) i. Analysis An overview of the housing assistance needs as discussed in the Needs Assessment component of the Community Profile section, reveals that 22,383 renter households in the City of Miami have annual incomes which fall between 51% - 95% MFI, i.e., Other Low Income Renter Households combined with Moderate Income Renter Households, and could possibly be candidates for homeownership. Based upon Miami's years of experience 93- 637 11-A in' working with low and moderate income renter households, several have expressed repeated interest in homeownership, however, their primary stumbling block has been in amassing the so-called "front-end" costs i.e. downpayment and , closing costs, needed for purchasing their own home. A First Time Homebuyers' Program could bridge the existing gap and enable those renters striving for homeownership to pursue that goal. ii. Investment Plan (Activities and Resources) The primary housing activities appropriate for providing the necessary housing assistance for Other Low Income and Moderate Income Renter Households to become First Time Homebuyers are as follows: Mortgage Downpayment Assistance (1st Time Homebuyers) to assist those renter households which may be interested in homeownership -and are able to afford monthly mortgage payments, by waiving or "granting" all or a fixed percentage of downpayment and closing costs. . Rehabilitation of existing houses to increase the inventory of code standard, free from lead -based paint hazards, houses which would be available for First -Time Homebuyers. 9 3 - 637 114- New Construction of affordable houses to increase the existing inventory. over the next five years, the City of Miami will pursue the following programs and resources: Mortgage Downpayment Assistance (lst Time Homebuyer) Federal: HOME Mortgage Revenue Bonds Local: Dade County Documentary Stamp Surtax Program Homes for South Florida Rehabilitation Federal: Local: CDBG HOME Dade County Documentary Stamp Surtax Program, Dade County Housing Finance Agency 93- 637 19S New Construction Federal: HOME Local: Priority 6 i. Analysis Dade County Documentary Stamp Surtax Program Homes for South Florida Homeless/Homeless Prevention As previously discussed in the Needs Assessment component of the Community Profile section, the homeless population for the City of Miami is estimated to be about 40% of the homeless population in Dade County, which is estimated at about 6,000 persons. There are also considered to be a substantial number of persons at risk of becoming homeless. The City of Miami along with other members and representatives comprising the Task Force on homelessness have adopted the following proposal for a Comprehensive System to serve the Homeless. 93- 637 I ail The Task Force has determined that a threg stage system is needed to meet the needs of the homeless in Dade County. These phases include: Temporary Care -- to provide immediate short term (i.e., 7-30 days) housing and basic support services to persons now residing in public spaces through Homeless Assistance Centers (HAC). 1. HOMELESS ASSISTANCE CENTERS - Goal: 1,000 - 1,500 new beds within three yeas. - Free unrestricted access - Immediate shelter - 7-30 day stay or longer if necessery-available 24 _- hours per day. - At least two meals daily - Shower/bathing facilities - On site health clinic - Case management and counseling services on site - Immediate assessment and individualized care, for example,.separating persons with tuberculosis and HIV infection, familes with children, and single women. - Examples, campus -style environment with individual units of specialized care. The Homeless Asssitance Centers (HAC) are the entry points of the proposed system of care for the homeless. The Task Force proposes up to three (HAC) be created to provide emergency housing for 300-500 persons each. 93- 637 Qutreach and Prevention The RAC staff will include individuals, both professional and volunteer, who will visit homeless •people to urge them to enter into the centers. These staff people will also be responsible for coordinating interagency prevention efforts. The RAC staff will work to establish a formal networking system between provider agencies and law enforcement personnel to ensure a humane and sensitive approach to dealing with homeless persons who may not choose to enter a RAC and to develop viable alternatives to arrest. . Primary Care -- transitional housing (6-9 months on average) with a focus on treatment and rehabilitation (e.g., substance abuse treatment, vocational training, skills building, mental health treatment, and basic education); - Primary Goal: Minimum of 750 new beds within three years - Provide further treatment to-�prepare for independent living - Focus on employment, health, social services, and mental health needs - Treat substance abuse, mental illness, victims of spousal abuse, persons with HIV infection and tuberculosis - Customer service orientation 93- 637 Match funds from federal and state governments 'Community involvement Preference for providers, non -for -profits, etc. Mental health care Primary Care Centers basic on -site services would includes - 6-9 months stay - Housing in dormitory -type accommodations - 2-3 meals daily in common dining room - Substance abuse treatment - Health screening and primary health care Screening and referral to mental health services - Vocational training and employment opportunities (either on or off -site) - On -site work program (e.g. facility maintenance and cooking) - Assistance with obtaining entitlement (e.g. S.S.I., and veterans benefits) - Referral to advanced care (Supported housing) Primary Care Centers would offer transitional housing, typically 6-9 months. Residents would be screened and would have to agree to abide by house rules and participation in programs. In addition, primary care providers would offer services at • the Homeless Assistance Centers to allow as many residents as possible to begin receiving primary care services at the temporary care stage. 93- 63'7 ZaL1 Benefits An effective primary care program will attract homeless individuals and families thereby reducing the number of homeless persons encamped in public spaces. Such a program will also prepare homeless persons for independent living, reducing recidivism to homelessness. Substance abuse and mental illness should be reduced as well as the health and criminal justice costs attendant to substance abuse and mental illness. Public health will be enhanced and dollars saved as the spread of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and HIV, is reduced. Finally, and very importantly, the demand/need ___.for "emergency" hosuing should be reduced as homeless persons move through the primary care system to advanced care, possibly even permitting the reduction in beds in the emergency care system over time. Advanced Care -- Supported long term housing, such as church assisted housing, supported Single Room Occupancy residences and assisted apartment or other residential arrangements. - Single Room Occupancy Residences and apartment buildings operated by profit or non-profit organizations. - Ownership by private investors, non -profits or joint ventures with private investors - Affordable to persons on public benefits or earning low wages !V 93- 63'7 Provide social services, security, referrals to 'health, mental health and substance abuse treatment. Yearly targets for development and occupancy Utilize matching funds Community support Emphasis on prevention The Task Force agreed to adopt a flexible approach in implementing the homeless plan to reflect possible changes in need and service provision opportunities. It was agreed that the funding plan for the development of the Homeless Assistance Centers would be adhered to in year 1 (as set forth in the original presentation. of the --.Dade County Community Homeless Plan) but agreed that.the funding plan for years 2 and 3 "may be deviated from depending on the evaluation of the existing circumstances and necessities by the governing body." Secondly, the Task Force supported the simultaneous development of primary care services in year 1, as the Homeless Assistance Centers ;:are being developed. Further, the Task Force mandated "full cooperation with the service providers in the process of providing services at the Homeless Assistance Centers," particularly with respect to "special needs" groups such as persons with histories of mental illness and substance abuse, and with HIV infection. Thirdly, the Task Force resolved that Project Link -up, providing confidential computerized information about 93- 637 homeless persons, be an "integral, funded, and immediate part of the Homeless Assistance Centers and the service provider system." Finally, the Task Force adopted the position that if in the future there is a reduced need for Homeless Assistance Centers, consideration would be given to converting them to Primary or Advanced Care Centers. In supporting the simultaneous development of primary and advanced care options, it is recognized that all three stages of care are necessary if homeless persons are to avoid long stays in emergency care. It was also noted that, without the prospect of longer term services and permanent housing, many homeless persons will not avail themselves of emergency care and will continue to live in public spaces at great detriment to themselves and to the general public. Effective primary and advanced care options can prepare homeless persons for independent living reducing their reliance on publicly supported housing in 1-3 years.': The 'Tack :.Force concluded that, during the next five years, considerable attention must be placed on expanding advanced care facilities for homeless adults and families. Advance care, or supported housing, is the final stage in the continuum of housing and services for homeless persons. This should be provided through supported Single Room occupancy Residences or other residential 93- 637 arrangements operated by private investors, non-profit organizations or through -several church assisted housing programs. Ownership might be by private investors (e.g., if low income housing tax credits are utilized which require a limited partnership ownership structure). Non-profit operators might include existing providers of primary care who want to expand. .into advanced care, religious organizations, and Community Based Organizations. Advanced care housing must first be affordable to persons on public benefits or earning a low wage. Secondly, it must provide a minimal level of support.to assist persons from becoming homeless again. These include some basic social services,security; and referrals to health, mental. health and substance -abuse treatment. Tyges of Building It is recommended that -Single Room Occupancy Residences, offering either shared or private baths and shared kitchens, will best meet the needs of many single persons who have completed Primary care. SRO's,.cdn be created in existing hotel type buildings, in existng residential or other types of buildings which are easily convertible. For families, apartments (self-contained units) are needed. The apartment complexes could be mixed income 93- 637 (low and moderate) developments with services targeted to the low income population. Benefits This program would begin to build a supply -of affordable, supported housing in Dade County that could serve as permanent housing for that segment of -the homeless'population with greater needs (e.g., the -frail, elderly) or as a stepping stone fcr those with potential to move to unsupported housing. ii. Investment Plan (Activities and Resources) The primary housing activities appropriate for the City of Miami to provide the necessary housing assistance for Homeless and "near homeless" populations are as follows: Rental Assistance to be provided to Very Low Income households as a tool for the prevention of homelessness. . Rehabilitation of Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units . Support Services and Facilities Over the next five years, the City of Miami will pursue the following programs and resources: 93- 637 I -A� Rental Assistance Federal: Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation SRO Section 8 Existing Certificates and Vouchers (operated by Dade County) Local: Dade County Food and Beverage Tax Funds (1�) Foundations Rehabilitation Federal: HOPWA Local: Dade County Food and Beverage Tax Funds (1%) Foundations Support Services and Facilities 93- 637 1-�5- Federal: CDBG for Homeless and others (15%) HOPWA Emergency Shelter Grant Local: Dade County Food and Beverage Tax .Funds Foundations Priority 7 Special Needs Populations i.: Analysis As previously discussed in the Needs Assessment component of the Community Profile section, this category includes the elderly, frail elderly, disabled - physically and mentally, persons with alcohol/other drug addiction, and persons with AIDS and related diseases. As per the experts' best estimates, there are slightly less than 100,000 special needs households in Dade County. The initial goals of the City of Miami's plan for populations with special needs are the following: Provide housing with supportive environments and services such as that found in group homes, Single 93- 637 Room Occupancy (SRO) and intermediate Care Facilities -to address the needs of this population. . Provide rental assistance, rental subsidies and the affordable housing stock for this population. . Foster the redevelopment and revitalization of living conditions. To create a Policy Management Board to unify the efforts of the public, private and independent sections. Compile a complete and thorough inventory of all available support services. While accurate numbers for populations with special needs are not available ) this plan will evolve over the next few years and expand to include critical missing components. ii.

Relevant Public Policies, Court Orders, and HUD Sanctions i. Relevant Public Policies A. Description/Assessment REAL PROPERTY TAX Real property tax normally constitutes the major source of income for most local governments. Miami is no exception. In Miami, as in most older cities, the tax base has stabilized over years past as the majority of the City has been "built up". In fact, as buildings get older and begin to fall into a state of disrepair and neighborhoods begin to decline, the tax base actually begins to fall. As owners begin to reinvest in and rehabilitate their properties, the value of same also begins to climb and unfortunately, in terms of housing costs, so: do the assessed values resulting in higher property taxes for the owner. Such a situation creates a dilemma for local governments in that their increased tax revenues tend to drive up the costs of housing. 93- 63'7 IS s.� BUILDING CODES Subsequent to Hurricane Andrew, both the City's and County's local building codes and standards are being carefully analyzed and evaluated to determine -the role they might have played in the collapse of several thousand units. Unfortunately a Catch 22 situation has developed with respect to the Building Code issue as it relates to affordable housing in that stricter codes will make for sturdier albeit more expensive structures which are more able to withstand hurricane force winds, thus creating a serious setback to the whole issue of affordable housing. PERMITTING PROCESS Also, as a result of Hurricane Andrew, the City's permitting process has, of necessity, been forced to streamline its operation due to heavy demand. It is anticipated that the major core of the streamlined operation will continue in operation long after the current peak demand has subsided. 93- 63'7 1 4-1 DADE COUNTY FOOD AND BEVERAGE TAX (1%) Dade County recently levied a 1% tax on food and beverages sold in establishments exceeding $400,000 in gross annual revenues. A portion of this tax, namely 1%, is earmarked to use for homeless programs. BUILDING MORATORIUM t' A building moratorium has been imposed in central Dade County (including the City of Miami) due to the near collapse of an antiquated sewer system. Effective January 27, 1993 a "ban" on new sewer hook- ups has been enforced thereby severely restricting any type of new development. Presently, it is not yet certain what effect this moratorium will have on the development of new construction projects under the HOME Program and other affordable housing ventures. IMPACT FEES These fees are normally levied against the housing development, and passed along to the homebuyer, to pay for capital improvements that are required for the development. In general, impact fees are favored 93- 637 for financing infrastructure required for new growth because they make the new development pay for a substantial portion of the development costs without burdening other existing taxpayers. However, due to their very nature, such fees tend to drive up the costs for households when they purchase or rent a residence. B. Strategy to Address Negative Effects REAL PROPERTY TAX Currently, the City has no program for property tax relief, either in the form of an exemption or abatement, for rehabilitation activity and/or the. development of new affordable housing. The City of Miami should investigate the possible benefits and costs of developing such a policy/program. BUILDING CODES Miami's post -hurricane housing market is just beginning to feel the effects of a• tougher South Florida Building Code which was adopted June 1, 1993 by Metropolitan Dade County in response to the extensive damage caused to residential structures by 93- 637 1A2 the hurricane force windows. While such a measure may appear to be dealing a hard blow to the affordable housing effort, public sentiment since the devastating hurricane is understandably in support of sturdier, well-built structures. Safety has won out over cost considerations, at least for the time being. BUILDING MORATORIUM As far as residential development is concerned, large developments have the option of building their own sewage treatment plants on site or getting on the County waiting list for permits to be issued on a case -by -case basis following repairs to and replacement of individual components of the existing sewer network (average waiting period on list is approximately one year). Presently, there is no delay for hook-ups of individual single family houses provided they are built on sites which previously/already have existing sewer service. IMPACT FEES As a measure to offset the negative effects of impact fees on proposed affordable housing developments, a City of Miami Impact Fee ordinance exempts such 93- 637 MM developments located within designated CDBG Target Areas. In the case of proposed affordable housing developments to be located outside of designated target areas, a review panel recommends impact fee exemptions for those projects deemed to be affordable to low and moderate income households. ii. Court Orders and HUD Sanctions There are no court orders or HUD sanctions affecting the City of Miami. d,. Institutional Structure and Intergovernmental Cooperation i. Description A.

This includes the HOME Program and the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program as well as the implementation of all CDBG-funded housing programs. Development and Housing Conservation also acts as a liaison to all CDC's and CHDO's in the community and has taken the lead role in preparing all CHAS documents. Department of Community Develot (DCD) This Department's primary responsibility is the administration of the City's CDBG Entitlement Program. DCD also administers the Emergency Shelter Grant Program and serves as a liaison to homeless service provider agencies. The City's citizen participation function is also handled by this Department. 93- 637 14-9 This Department is responsible for the preparation and updating of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan and also reviews and analyzes the federal census data. Recently, P, B & 2 has taken on the responsibility of coordinating the implementation of homeless activities. METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY DCHUD currently manages over 12,000 units of public housing located both within the City of Miami and Dade County, and provides social services to public housing residents. The 27,000 public -housing residents have access to a variety of resident services programs which include drug and substance abuse prevention, resident managemet training, sports and recreation, general social services and tenant council support. 'Of the 102 public housing developments, 32 have resident councils. DCHUD will continue to manage and modernize, public housing units and coordinate the HOPE 1 and HOPE 2 housing programs which are designed to provide homeownership opportunities for public housing residents. 93- 637 1 .15-b SHPD administers the Section 8 Existing Housing Program for both the City of Miami as well as Dade County and the Documentary Stamp Surtax Program. The County's Documentary Stamp Surtax Program provides for the construction and rehabilitation of housing for low and moderate -income families and individuals. For every surtax dollar used for housing, nearly one dollar and a half of private and other funds are leveraged. SHPD also handles contract administration for approximately 5,600 units of Section 8 rehabilitated or newly constructed housing. Additionally, 4,600 Section 8 certificates and vouchers are administered by SHPD for very low and low-income families and individuals. SHPD will continue its Surtax and Section 8 programs administration by providing homeownership mortgage lending, single family and rental construction financing activities, housing appraisals, inspections, participant counseling -and eligibility determiinations. SHPD also provides an implementation role for the HOPE 3 Program. Other programs include Family Self Sufficiency and Shelter Plus Care. DHR serves as the umbrella agency for human service 93- 67 programs serving the entire Dade County area including the City of Miami. Dade County Housing Finance Authority Dade County HFA provides mortgages to facilitate the purchase of newly constructed and existing homes and provides financing for the rehabilitation and new construction of rental housing for low and moderate income households. Participating banks and lending agencies utilize proceeds from HFA generated bonds to provide housing opportunities for low and moderate income households. This Dade County -office coordinates the implementation on a countywide basis including the City of Miami, for programs serving the Homeless. Federal programs addressing the Homeless were combined under the "McKinney Act in 1987. McKinney Act funds have been used for substance abuse, emergency shelter, supportive and transitional housing, supplemental assistance facilities that assist the homeless and emergency food and shelter. This office will be involved with affordable housing programs by continuing to coordinate the implementation of homeless programs and by working with homeless service providers. 93- 63'7 �S� ii.

Strategy to Overcome Gaps Virtually all of the shortcomings and/or weaknesses as noted in the local delivery system, particularly in the Public and Nonprofit -sectors could be most successfully addressed with an infusion of dollars 'to be used to increase the level and quality of staffing as well as adequately fund existing programs and allow for the 93-- 637 154- development of new programs. Private sector participation should be encouraged and promoted. e. Public Housing Improvements As per the City of Miami's public housing agency, Metropolitan Dade County Department of Housing and Urban Development, the areas identified for public housing management .improvements are contained within the Comprehensive Grant Program (CGP). These include rent collection, long-term vacancies, outstanding work orders, work order response time, unit turnaround times, resident economic self-sufficiency, youth programs and resident services, automated tracking for the Public Housing Management Assessment Program (PHMAP), and staff training. In addition to these management improvements in the areas of management and operation, specific physical improvements were described in the Comprehensive Grant Program. Developments were targeted for comprehensive modernization funding based on the degree of physical distress. The remaining funds will be used to address urgent repairs throughout the 100 developments DCHUD manages. A per unit basis was used to allocate funding. 93- 637 ►414- f. Agency staff, residents, and technical specialists condudted on site surveys to identify work items. Available funding was allocated equitably throughout the agency's five management regions. At the level of individual developments, work items were prioritized based upon the results of the joint surveys. Priorities were finalized based on emergency crepair needs, handicapped accessibility requirements, security deficiencies and energy conservation needs, as well as general improvement priorities identified by resident organizations. Public Housing Resident Initiatives Dade County Department of Housing and Urban Development (DCHUD), the local public housing agency, has actively promoted resident initiatives. A summary of those initiatives is provided below. i. Resident Management Initiatives , In 1991 the Overall Tenant Advisory Council, Inc. (OTAC) received a Resident Management Technical Assistance Grant. In 1992, OTAC also received a continuation grant. The grants will enable OTAC to continue providing self-sufficiency training to resident councils on: I IV, 93- 637 HUD Regulations, Leadership Skills, Community Organization, Maintenance and financial management. OTAC intends to apply; for resident management grants this year to assist residents in several developments. 2. Other Resident Initiatives Besides these activities DCHUD is working on other resident initiatives. A listing of some of these follows: Resident Council Organizing Social Service Referral Youth Seasonal Sports Program Economic Development Projects Grant Writing for Resident Related Initiatives Drug Elimination Program Literacy Program The County has been working to develop and promote homeownership opportunities for public housing families. Several projects are underway. 93-- 637 r57 A. Vista Verde In the northwest part of Dade County, a request to convert 19 townhouse units from rental to ownership is pending. These units are part of a planned unit development (PUD) known as Vista Verde. A favorable response to this request is expected shortly. B. Heritage Village In the extreme southern section of Dade County, a = request is pending to enter into a partnership with a local non-profit housing development corporation to rehabilitate and sell 30 units of public housing in a development known as Heritage Village. This effort will involve local financing for both construction and take-out loans. The County has agreed to proceed with this project. A favorable response to this request from USHUD is expected shortly. C. HOPE I The County received funding in the amount of $213,000 for planning grants. This money will be used to determine the feasibility of converting two /6-9 93- 637 developments from -rental into homeownership - Venetian Gardens (52 units), and Richmond Homes (32 units). Richmond Homes was severely hit by Hurricane Andrew, and the effects of damage done to this development will need to be factored into any conversion plans. The studies will examine financial capabilities of residents as well as willingness of local lenders to participate in a conversion of public housing to homeownership. D. Homeownership Preparation In order to help prepare housing residents for homeownership opportunities with public programs, non-profit programs or on the open market, a series of homeownership workshops have been initiated. These seminars are conducted jointly with staff and local lenders. Over 500 residents have indicated a willingness to participate -in these seminars. E. Turnkey III Since 1973 the County has been promoting homeownership for public housing residents through the Turnkey III program. As of July, 98 units have been sold out of a total of 170 units. Of the remaining 72 units, it is expected that at least 12 93- 15-1 637 1 will be sold in the coming year. As is the case for all the housing stock in southern Dade County, many of the Turnkey III occupied homes .were severely damaged. These units will be repaired and sold. F. Caribbean Gardens The County has awarded a demolition contract for this 182 unit family development. After Hurricane Andrew, this development was condemned by the Building and Zoning Department. The demolition will be accomplished through the use of insurance proceeds. Options for future housing are being explored. G. Other . As the designated redevelopment agency, Dade County's public housing agency has been actively involved in creating homeownership opportunities for more than twenty years. It has worked with community development corporations (•CDCs) to assist them in providing housing for ownership to .low income families throughout the County and City. 93- 637 10 1 g. Lead-Based,Paint Hazard Reduction Over the next five years the City of Miami will seek to expand its efforts with respect to integrating lead hazard evaluation and reduction activities into existing housing programs. Based upon the age of the City's housing and applying the national standard estimate of lead in housing units of certain age groupings, an estimated 56,168 units occupied by Very Low and Other Low -Income: households have the potential for lead hazards. All efforts to identify units with lead based paint hazards will be supported by the City. It appears that the most cost effective method. for abating lead hazards is to combine abatement with rehabilitation activities. All privately owned housing units rehabilitated with CDBG or HOME funds will be eligible for funding to remove any lead paint hazards. The City of Miami will also provide lead paint hazard information to all propertyowners applying for rehabilitation assistance. In the case of rental units, tenants will also be provided with lead paint hazard information. If necessary, the City should consider raising locally -determined per unit subsidy limits for rehabilitation projects that include lead paint abatement. Consideration should also be given in the 93- 63'7 ��r housing program application review process for assigning points for projects which include lead hazard reduction. The City will also coordinate with the County Health Department in terms of a public education campaign and the removal of lead paint in those units where. lead poisoning has been discovered. h. Monitoring Standards and Procedures Procedures employed in monitoring the CHAS Plan will be very similar to that used for tracking progress made -in implementing/operating programs under the CDBG program, namely, progress or performance reports. Such a report will compare activities undertaken with the priorities, goals and objectives detailed in the Five Year Strategy and the One Year Plan. Progress made toward achieving the standards/goals established in the implementation phase would as an example, focus on the following types of measures: the number of single family houses rehabilitated, new housing programs developed and implemented, the number of new units constructed, the dollars expended on a per program basis, the average cost per. unit rehabilitated or new units constructed, 93- 63'7 the amount of dollars of private investment leveraged, coupled with an assessment of the resources available. As a tool for measuring progress and controlling change, the standards and procedures will serve to: measure resources consumed, measure status and accomplishments, compare measurements to projections and goals, provide the basis for evaluation and replanning The city will also maintain complete expenditure and program records, including individual case files., as required by U.S. HUD. 93-- 637 t�3 III. ANNUAL PLAN The City of Miami's strategy in developing its Annual CHAS Plan for federal fiscal year 1994 is to attempt to achieve approximately 20% or 1/5 of its Five Year Strategy priorities and goals, combined with a realistic projection and expectation of- probable funding sources and dollar amounts to be received, for both program operation and staffing, during FY 194. a. Strategy Implementation __.Priority 1 Very Low Income Renters (0-50% MFI) (Elderly, Small Related and Large Related Households) i. Investment Plan (Activities and Programs) The City of Miami's 1994 goal is to assist a total of 643 Very Low Income Renter Households (0-50% MFI) as follows: 60 elderly renter households to be housed in newly renovated privately -owned rental units which are rehabilitated via the HOME funded Multifamily 93- 637 Rehabilitation Program. HOME funds in the amount of $960,000 have been provided for the rehabilitation of 60 units at an average HOME cost of $16,000 per unit. 125 elderly renter households to receive Section 8 rental subsidies via the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program at an annual (prorated) cost of approximately $851,639 from the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program. 287 small related renter households to receive Section 8 rental subsidies via the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program at an annual cost of approximately $1,955,361 (prorated) from the Section 8 Moderate -Rehabilitation Program. 80 small related renter households to be housed in newly renovated privately -owned' rental units which are rehabilitated via the HOME funded Multifamily Rehabilitation Program.

The City of Miami will work in conjunction with the Dade County Homeless Task Force to implement the following: Short Term Plan Goal'. Minimum of 200 new temporary emergency beds. Pursuant to the County Commission's resolution creating the Task Force, consideration was given to short term plan, ! 7S- 93- 637 i.e., efforts that could be undertaken by providers, business community, and government to address the homelessness problem in our community before proceeds from the 1% sales tax are available. The Task Force considered many short-term options. They i included expansion of existing services and facilities, e.g., Homeless Asssistance Project or trailers under I-395, I Camillus House, etc., as well as the leasing or purchasing of facilities that could easily be converted from a short- term facility into a HAC or even a primary/advanced care facility. The Task Force resolved to have no less than 200 additional persons housed prior to the time that the proceeds from the Food and Beverage Tax become available. The provision of these additional 200 units would be sought by Dade County's and the City of Miami's office of Homeless programs. These additional 200 units would be sought immediately -and be funded through a variety of sources, including state, municipal, and county funds (including CDBG funds), and private sector fundraising. In light of these short term efforts, the Task Force resolved to urge the City of Miami to obstain from creating any safe zones. The Task Force recommends that an all out effort be made to raise funds, apart from the Food and Beverage Tax, to make a significant dent into the homeless problem now existing in the streets of Miami. Although the goal is to create at least 200 additional units, it is expected that the fund I-/� 93- 637 raising efforts would exceed that amount. The goal 'is to put significant efforts into raising a significant amount of funds for the short term plan without depleting .the funds allocated for the long term. Priority 7 Special Needs Populations i.

Public Policies BUILDING CODES Miami's post -hurricane housing market is just beginning to feel the effects of a tougher South Florida Building Code which was adopted. June 1, 1993 by Metropolitan Dade County in response to the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Andrew. Over this next year, the City of Miami will be in a position to assess the building code changes in terms of their implications for affordable housing. The results will then be brought to the attention of the appropriate public officials. DADE COUNTY FOOD AND BEVERAGE TAX FUND (1%) It is anticipated that all local municipalities, including the City of Miami, will be involved in and/or with the Dade County Homeless Trust, which has been established to oversee the use of that portion of the Food and Beverage Tax dedicated .to Homeless programs, to ensure that the proceeds are used in a manner which will provide the maximum benefit to Homeless persons and the entire Dade County community. g3 BUILDING MORATORIUM The City of Miami will continue to monitor the progress being made with respect to the replacement/repair of the existing sewer pipe by Dade County. Presently, it is not yet known what effect this moratorium will have on the development of new construction projects under the HOME Program and other affordable housing ventures. ii. Institutional Structure Virtually all of the shortcomings and/or weaknesses as noted in the local housing delivery system, particularly in the Public and Nonprofit sectors, could be most successfully addressed with an infusion of dollars to be used to increase the level and quality of staffing as well as adequately fund existing programs and allow' --for the development of new programs. During Fiscal Year 1994 it is not anticipated that an increase in funding levels will occur, thus Miami does not propose to take any remedial actions to improve the institutional structure over the coming year. I S+ 93- 637 iii. public Housing Improvements The Dade County Department of, Housing and Urban Development will continue to rebuild units damaged by Hurricane Andrew over the next fiscal. year. In addition, it will continue to implement its Comprehensive Grant Program plan, expending funds for repairs and Comprehensive Modernization, and will continue to make five percent of units handicap - accessible to meet the goals of Section 504. iv. Public Housing Initiatives The majority of homeownership initiatives are expected to take place within the coming year. Other training initiatives, sponsored by the Dade County Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Overall Tenant Advisory Council will continue over the next few years. v. Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Over the next Fiscal Year, the City. of Miami will continue to make strides in combining lead -based paint abatement with rehabilitation activities. All privately owned housing units rehabilitated with CDBG 93' 6097 166- or HOME funds will be eligible for funding'to remove -any lead paint hazards. The City will also provide lead paint hazard information to all property owners applying for rehabilitation assistance. In the case of rental units, owners will be supplied with lead paint hazard information to provide to their tenants. The City will also review and consider raising locally -determined per unit subsidy limits for rehabilitation projects that include lead paint abatement. Miami will also coordinate with the Dade County Health Department in terms of a public education campaign and the removal of lead paint in those units where lead poisoning has been found. C. Anti -Poverty Strategy The figures present a bleak picture. The 1979 rate for persons in poverty, as reported in the 1980 Census of Population and Housing, was 24.5-$ for the City of Miami. Now, the latest available figures estimate Miami's 1989 poverty rate to be 31.1%, or more than 123,000 residents below the poverty line. Poverty for this City's residents has substantially increased with the increase occurring in all but two neighborhood •areas. It is noteworthy to bear in mind that the 1979 rate was the third highest for large cities in the nation. Therefore, the substantial increase in poverty for the 93- 637 0 City, coupled with the already high rate, underscores the gravity of the problem of poverty which the City of Miami faces. While housing is a major component of any anti -poverty strategy - the availability of code standard, affordable housing is a necessity for allowing households to pursue education/training and employment - the core of an anti- poverty plan must be the creation of employment opportunities. The City of Miami's housing and economic programs that __..are currently components of its anti -poverty strategy include the following: CDBG-financed activities: Housing rehabilitation programs, both single and multi -family, renovate existing units for very low and low income households. Social service activities including day care, meals programs, etc. for very low and low income households. Economic development activities which focus primarily upon the creation of community -based 157 93- 637 businesses that provide jobs and services to low income neighborhoods. Miami Capital Development, Inc. - a quasi - independent agency, affiliated with the City of Miami, which provides low interest loans to small, independent, minority and/or women -owned businesses for capital development and expansion. HOME Program activities: Program funds are used for new construction and rehabilitation activities which are focused at providing affordable housing to very low and low income households. Rent limits are strictly enforced. Job Training Partnership Act/Private Industry Council Neighborhoods Job Program serves very low and low income households through the provision of both job training programs and employment opportunities. All very low income households, including the Homeless, are designated as priorities in this Five Year CHAS Plan. The City will be focusing its resources over the 191 93- 637 next five years on assisting this very lowest income segment of the population. d. Coordination Efforts The City of Miami will continue coordinating its affordable housing efforts with local and state private, public and governmental agencies as follows: Metropolitan Dade County The City of Miami will continue its close coordination with the County in terms of program design, participation, coordination, referrals, etc., particularly with respect to the following programs and activities: Section 8 HOME Program HOPE I, II and III:`Programs Documentary Stamp Surtax Program Housing Finance Agency Homeless Programs and Services CHAS - Five Year and Annual Plans Cities of Miami Beach and Hialeah I9� 93- 637 State of Florida - Housing Finance Agency and Dept. of Community Affairs The City will continue to share program information, make referrals, etc. with respect to all housing programs and activities,•including the CHAS Plan. Assisted Housing Providers The City has established and will continue to maintain a close working relationship with agencies such as Greater Miami Neighborhoods, Inc., and LISC, which have developed several projects with both City and County participation. Social Service Agencies (usually County -based except for HRS - State) The City will continue to share program information, make referrals, etc. with respect to all housing programs and activities, including the CHAS Plan. The City of Miami will also attempt to expand its coordination efforts with services agencies by increasing the scope of agencies - mental health, AIDS groups, etc. (AID 93- 637 1.
