The City Commission held a public hearing on April 10, 1984, at which time it allocated funds for the 1984-85 Community Development program year consisting of the following: $11,255,000 loth Year Community Development Block Grant 2,164,910 371,000 $13,790,910 Reprogrammed Community Development Block Grant funds from previous years Program income 84-642, . - X X,0 k 'k y} y, HOVird V. Gary page 2 Recently, based on information submitted by this departmient, the Office of the Census corrected data pertaining to the Cuban and Haitian entrants that were counted as part of the 1980 Presidential Order to more properly reflect the degree of poverty in the City. This has resulted in an increased alloca- tion of $2,944,000 to the City of Miami by the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. Per attached memo, staff recommended to the Community Develop- ment Advisory Board that these funds be targeted to the King Heights and East Little Havana areas in a concentrated effort to improve the housing stock in those areas through rehabili- tation of multifamily housing and the acquisition of blighting influence in the neighborhood. In addition to this, staff recommended $588,000 for administration to cover costs associated with the implementation of these additional programs as well as to cover administrative costs associated with the different HUD programs which will be forthcoming, such as the Housing Rehabili- tation Block Grant and the Housing Development Action Grant for which administrative funds are not available. The Board, although generally in agreement with staff's proposal, recommended that all the funds be allocated to one neighborhood in order to have a greater impact, and that these funds be allocated to the King Heights area. In addition, the Board recommended that fifteen percent of the grant be allocated to provide additional funding to social service programs, $300,000 to provide a twenty percent increase to existing social service programs, and $135,000 to assist social service agencies having special problems. Staff, nevertheless, recommends the dual approach of dividing the housing funding between East Little Havana and King Heights as seed money is required in both areas to stimulate housing rehabilitation and as such development is consistent with the long-standing revitalization plans of each area. With respect to social programs, it is recommended that $150,000 be used to fund a ten percent across-the-board increase to all social service agencies. Social Service agencies have not received any increase during the last three years. 84-642 . pm, : ids•'"` - t a k; ItOVArd V.
