Pursuant to Resolution No. 09-0043, adopted on January 29, 2009, the Miami City Commission approved the Miami Homeless Assistance Program Discharge Planning Grant awarding $340,000 to the City of Miami Homeless Program, Neighborhood Enhancement Team ("Homeless Program") to provide extended outreach and housing services to homeless individuals referred through the Miami - Dade County Judicial and Health System. At the close out of the 2007-2008 fiscal year, the Homeless Program was unable to use the sum of $37,936 for Homeless Program activities because the extended outreach and housing services program had not yet been implemented. On January 18, 2008, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") waived the 30 percent service cap to enable the City to expend the 2007 Fiscal Year Emergency Shelter Grant ("ESG") allocation on essential supportive services within twenty-four (24) months of the grant award. The Administration recommends the transfer of 2007-2008 Homeless Program ESG funds in the total amount of $37,936 and allocating said funds to the 2008-2009 Homeless Program to provide essential services and extended outreach and housing services to homeless individuals referred through the Miami -Dade County Judicial and Health System.
