City of Miami Page 1 Printed on 1/1112005
A motion was made by Joe Sanchez, seconded by Angel Gonzalez, that this matter be ADOPTED. Barbara Rodriguez
(Director, Community Development): PH. I 1 is funding for our Housing Opportunity for Persons With AIDS
(Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) Program, and this is a Countywide program. There's an attachment to your
agenda that says all the agencies that we're recommending, and we're projecting an amount of ten million, $715,000
for fiscal year 2004-2005, and there was an approval by this Commission on closeout funds of two million, thirty-five,
four ninety-five from fiscal year 2003-2004, so the total amount of funding is 12,750,495. We will be increasing our
long-term tenant based rental subsidy program by 50 additional clients, so it will get us to a total of 1,250. It's a public
hearing.
Chairman Teele: Any person desiring to be heard on the HOPWA (Rousing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS)
item, Item Number 11, should come forward. Are there any persons coming forward? The public hearing is, therefore,
closed. Barbara, this Commission --
Commissioner Winton: What a change from a few years ago.
Chairman Teele: -- really owes you a debt of gratitude for the manner in which you're doing your job, We are really
grateful.
Ms, Rodriguez: Thank you.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Mr. Chairman, if I may.
Commissioner Regalado: If we just flashback to Miami Arena --
Commissioner Winton: Yeah.
Commissioner Regalado: -- and that meeting of the Miami City Commission, Barbara, congratulations, OK.
Ms, Rodriguez: Thank you.
Commissioner Regalado: Because I mean --
Chairman Teele: We're very proud of you, Barbara.
Ms. Rodriguez: We're trying very hard.
Chairman Teele: Commissioner -- Vice Chairman Sanchez.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You know, this really goes to show -- a couple of years ago we
stood here and we had individuals show up to the Commission meeting and really show their brave hearts to come
here and fight to try to get additional housing, and I'm very excited to see that we've been able to get 50 more, but let
me just tell you that the epidemic continues to grow. It's sad, but it continues to grow, and it's a disease that really
does not discriminate. It could affect anybody.
Ms. Rodriguez: That's true.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: And one of the things that I just wanted to make sure that was brought forth here is -- and I
know that they have changed the way -- housing now where they are not forced to go to certain buildings to live
there, and I have heard horror stories, you know, of people that are affected by this disease, and then they're all put in
a building tdgether and, of course, the building is labeled, and especially when you have children involved --
Ms. Rodriguez: Right.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: -- and families. It's really tragic and it's sad, so I am very glad to see that some changes have
been made now where they choose to live among the community --
