Odio FROM City Manager REFERENCES . Agenda Item ENCLOSURES February 13, 1992 RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept the 1992 Emergency Shelter Grant in the amount of $287,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (USHUD) and, upon approval of said grant by USHUD, to execute the necessary implementing contracts and agreements; also allocating the aforementioned amount to the herein named activities providing services to the homeless and authorizing the City Manager to enter into agreements with appropriate agencies in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. BACKGROUND The Department of Community Development has prepared legislation authorizing the City Manager to accept the 1992 Emergency Shelter Grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (USHUD)in the amount of $287,000 to provide needed services to the homeless. The proposed legislation further allocates funds to approved projects for the homeless and authorizes the City Manager to enter into the necessary implementing agreements with USHUD and approved agencies serving the homeless. USHUD notified the City of Miami that it is entitled to receive an Emergency Shelter Grant of $287,000 as a result of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act adopted by Congress to provide services to the nation's homeless population. The grant requires a one-to-one match which may be met through either cash or in kind services. This is the City's seventh emergency shelter grant and is based on the same formula used to award Community Development Block Grant Funds to eligible jurisdictions. The City's 1992 ESG application maintains the support of the Beckham Hall Shelter ($244,950) for homeless males and provides $42,050 to the City of Miami operated project to the homeless at the I-395 underpass. The City's application for this grant has been submitted to USHUD to meet the February 6, 1992 deadline and it is anticipated that USHUD approval will be received within 30 days. ta�t� �-1 t ' Honorable Mayor and Members - 2 of the City Commission 3 i The emergency shelter grant may be used only for one or more of the following eligible activities related to emergency shelter for the homeless; I. Renovation, major rehabilitation, or conversion of 1 buildings for use as emergency shelters for the homeless. 3 2. Provision of essential services (which may include employment, health, substance abuse, education or food) if, i. the service is a new service or there is a quantifiable increase in the level of service from the prior 12 month period; and ii. not more than 30% of the total grant may be used for these services. 3. Payment of maintenance, operation (including rent, excluding staff), insurance, utilities and furnishings. 4. The development and implementation of homeless prevention activities (not more than 30% of the total grant may be used for these services). Adoption of the proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager to accept the aforementioned grant, allocates ESG funds to the aforementioned projects providing services to the homeless, and further authorizes the City Manager to execute the necessary implementing contracts with USHUD and enter into agreements with approved agencies providing services. This is a companion item to a proposed ordinance appropriating said funds and establishing a special revenue fund for said purpose.
