allocation to the Lions Home for the Blind to $53,560, the
same level as last year.
2. Association for the Useful Aged, Inc. - This Agency provides
community information education, food packages and casework
services to approximately 1,400 elderly City of Miami
residents primarily from the Little Havana target area. The
Agency received $44,679 of 13th Year Community Development
Block Grant funds. The additional $2,265 would increase the
allocation to the Association for the Useful Aged to
$46,944, a $15,000 increase over 12th Year funding.

Mater received 701000 of 13th Year Community Development

additional $20,000 will be directed to the Agency's
Headstart project to provide child care services to 170
children six weeks to 5 years old. The additional $20,000
allocation would restore funding to Centro Mater at $90,000,

4. Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged, Inc. - This

through September 30, 1987 to provide senior adult day care

Agency appeared before the Commission at the July 23, 1987
meeting to again request City funding. The Agency indicated
that it is requesting funds to maintain the existing funding
level. The Commission passed a motion directing the
administration to consider the Agency for funding if
