City Manager ENCLOSURES
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution relating to n increase of $32,000 in the
City's Emergency Shelter Grant from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (USHUD). This increase is the
City's share of an $8 million appropriation by Congress under the
Fiscal Year 1988 Continuing Appropriations Act signed by the
President December 22, 1988. The proposed resolution authorizes
the City Manager to submit a grant application to USHUD, accept
the grant when approved by USHUD and enter into the necessary
agreement with USHUD to implement the grant. The additional
allocation will increase the City's Emergency Shelter Grant from
$203,000 to $235,000.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Community Development has been advised that the
City of Miami is entitled to receive an additional $32,000 for
its Emergency Shelter Grant from USHUD as a result of an $8
million appropriation by Congress under the Fiscal Year 1988
Continuing Appropriations Act signed by the President December
22, 1988. The additional allocation increases the City's grant
from $203,000 to $235,000 to provide services to the homeless
population. The City's grant is based on the same formula used
to award Community Development Block Grant Funds to eligible
jurisdictions. In order to be eligible for its increase, the
City must submit its application to USHUD by March 28,1988.
The City Commission allocated the original $203,000 to two
private non-profit agencies, Christian Community Service Agency
(CCSA) and Social Action of Little Havana. CCSA received
$173,000 to establish a shelter for homeless families and Social
Action of Little Havana was allocated $30,000 to provide a food
distributorship program with surplus food and sundry items to
keep families from becoming homeless and for local shelters to
reduce operating expenses.

Honorable Mayor and Members 2 -
of the City Commission
Staff will make recommendations to the City Commission in the
future for the specific allocation of the $32,000 to private non
profit agencies serving the homeless after proposals have been

amending Ordinance 10349 by increasing the special revenue fund
entitled "Emergency Shelter Grant (FY'88)" by $32,000, from
$203,000 to $235,000.
Adoption of the proposed resolution authorizes the City Manager
to submit a grant application to USHUD, accept the grant when
