Purpose of Item:
It is respectfully recommended that the Honorable Mayor and the City Commission accept the Miami Metro
Homeless Assistance Program South Grant and adopt the attached resolution to create a Special Revenue Project
for the 12 -month grant in the amount of $138,789 from The United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), and managed by the Miami Dade County Homeless Trust for the City of Miami to provide
outreach, information, referral, assessment and placement services to homeless individuals in South Dade. Total
project amount is $171,836 including a match required of $33,047 provided by the 2010 Memorandum of
Agreement Grant with $3,305 in administrative costs To be retained by the City.
Background Information:
In February 2009, The Miami Dade County Homeless Trust published a Request for Application to change
project sponsor for the provision of outreach, assessment and placements of homeless individuals and families
in Miami Dade County, funded through HUD's McKinney Homeless Assistance Act. The application process
was competitive and called for community -wide consolidated applications. The Miami -Homeless Assistance
Program submitted an application and was awarded with the contract to provide said services in South Dade
and reach individuals where they are, thereby decreasing the need for homeless individuals to travel to the City
of Miami for services. Miami is the epicenter of homelessness in Miami -Dade County in part because of the
concentration of services and the knowledge amongst homeless individuals of the excellence of MHAP's
services in housing placement and supportive service provision. The contract has been approved for renewal
FY2010 renewal by the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust.
