AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
On March 10, 2008, the City of Miami ("City") issued a request for proposals ("RFP"), for non-profit
entities to acquire the City -owned six unit building located at 1371 NW 61st Street, Miami, FL (the
"Property"), for the provision of transitional housing for youth transitioning out of Florida's foster care
systems.
The due date to submit responses to the RFP was March 24, 2008.
Miami's River of Life, Inc. ("MRL") submitted the only response to the RFP, and that response met
the RFP minimum threshold requirements.
The response was reviewed by an Evaluation Committee comprised of a resident of the Liberty City
area, a representative of the Liberty City Community Revitalization Trust and an employee of the City
of Miami Department of Community Development.
MRL is a not for profit organization which for the past 14 years has committed its resources to the
care, protection, and progress of thousands of youth in the State of Florida's Department of Juvenile
Justice, Department of Children and Families and other child protection systems.
The MRL "Independent & Transitional Living" program will serve young ladies from 16-21 years of
age who are in need of transitional living on an average of 3-9 months.
MRL is in good standing with the City.
The conveyance of the Property will be subject to the following deed restrictions: (i) the Property
must be used for supportive housing for youth transferring out of foster care, (ii) priority must be
given to youth from the Liberty City area, (iii) the City must approve any other change in use of the
Property, (iv) title to the Property will revert to the City in the event the Property ceases to be used for
its intended purpose.
The Administration recommends the conveyance, with title reverter provisions, of the City -owned six
unit building located at 1371 NW 61 Street, Miami, Florida, legally described in Exhibit "A", attached
and incorporated, to MRL for the development of supportive housing (a transitional independent
living facility) for female youth aging out of Florida's foster care systems.
