At a public hearing held on April Commission allocated the initial $9,875,000 in CDBG funds for 12th Year. City staff held a public meeting with the City of Miami's Citywide C.D. Advisory Board on July 16, 1986, to discuss rreo ae dati ns for use of the additional $2,030,000• Below is the proposed for these additional funds: HOUSING Citywide Single Family Housing & Rehabilitation Loan & Grant Program: It is recommended that $710,500 of the additional CDBG funds available to the City as a result of the overturn of the deferral, ty idedto augment the 12th Year Single Family Rehabilitation uLo dget for the Citywide an & Grant Program. Due to the projected 30% CDBG budget cut, the Citywide Single Family Rehabilitation Loan & Grant Program,, through which qualified low-income homeowners are provided low-cost financing for needed home repairs, was funded at a level of $1,150,000 during the 12th Year CDBG budgeting process. This amount, plus $300,000 in p j loan repayments would have provided funding sufficient for about 58 loans below p=ior dyears fiscal year 1986 87, assistance levels. i The Honorable Mayor and Members of City Commission j. Page two The recommended program budget increase will allow home repair an additional 30 homeowners to receive the total number of increasing loans financing, and grants to 70-80 during the fiscal year, providing the city with an increased opportunity to achieve its Housing Assistance Plan housing 710,000 rehabilitation goals. Demolition of Substandard Buildings: This project which h has an initial allocation of $75,000 as been doubled to a new total of $150,000.

Johns Little Havana Development Corporation and the Florida Housing Cooperative, Incorporated : St. Johns Community Development Corporation, a n formed, Overtown based, housing oriented newly corporation, has fr nonprofit development requested administrative funding in the amount of $50,000. The St. Johns CD c is one of two nonprofits selected newly created neighborhood by the Enterprise Foundation, under contract with the City, to train and provide assistance ti to CBOs desiring to become housing developers. 20 East Little Havana Development Corporation, • organized in 1984, the other housing oriented neighborhood nonprofit selected for training and technical assistance by the Enterprise Foundation, has also requested administrative funding in the amount of $50,000. 3. The Florida Cooperative, Incorporated Housing Coop requested administrative funding in the amount of $25*000 to enable the organization to carry out research in the field of housing cooperative development and management. Staff recommends against the provision of administrative funding for the St. Johns and East Little Havana Development Corporations at this time. At present, neighborhood based economic development corporations are receiving a total of funding $550400 in community development • • The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page three f administrative funding annually. The provision o to the St. Johns and East Little Havana CDCs would increase the City's CDC administrative vd funding obligation by $125,000 annually, set a precedent for future administrative funding requests by other nonprofit organizations who may desire to enter the housing development field. Moreover, it is staff's recommendation that the St. Johns and East Little Havana CDCs, which are receiving technical assistance and/or limited administrative assistance from the Enterprise Foundation and/or the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), seek to maximize the degree of technical and financial assistance currently being provided by these CDBG supported organizations. The Florida Housing Cooperative, Incorporated, which has previously received CDBG funding in the amount of $30,000 for "hardware" activities in conjunction with the development of a housing cooperative, has shown only limited progress to date. However, for the reasons cited above, staff recommends against the provision of administrative funding for the Cooperative. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Neighborhood Economic Development: This category has been increased from $500,000 to $800,000 and the guidelines for grant/loan awards will be submitted for approval to the City Commission in September, 1986. Funds will be distributed early in two rounds, which are anticipated to take place in November, 1986 and February, 1987.
