The HPRP is designed to provide financial assistance and services to either prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless or help those who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re- housed and stabilized. Pursuant to Resolution No. 09-0215, adopted on May 14, 2009, the Miami City Commission approved the acceptance of HPRP funds in the amount of $3,392,918 from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). Pursuant to Resolution No. 09-0217, adopted on May 14, 2009, the Miami City Commission approved a substantial amendment to the City's Annual Action Plan which included an allocation of $3,392,918 for homeless prevention and rapid re -housing for financial assistance and services. Having HPRP program policies in place will allow the City to move forward with the implementation of said program.
