Pursuant to Resolution No. 08-0641 and 08-0642, both adopted on November 13, 2008, the Miami City Commission approved the acceptance of a grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of $12,063,702, and also approved an Amended Action Plan to HUD for the implementation of NSP. NSP provides emergency assistance to the City of Miami to acquire foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight and rehabilitate, resell or redevelop these properties to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values on neighboring homes. The policies attached as Exhibit A, ensure that NSP will be implemented according to all applicable statutes and regulations; as well as the Amended Action Plan as approved by HUD. The Administration recommends the acceptance of the proposed policies for the Department of Community Development's NSP, as described in Exhibit "A", attached and incorporated.
