AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
The Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS ("HOPWA") Program was created under the AIDS
Housing Opportunity Act and revised under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992.
Since 1994 the City of Miami ("City") has received HOPWA Program funds from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("U.S. HUD") and has been responsible for the
implementation of programs designed to provide housing and related services to individuals living
with HIV/AIDS in the City and throughout Miami -Dade County.
U.S. HUD has advised the City that HOPWA funding is available for distribution, in the amount of
$12,370,000, for Fiscal Year 2008-2009.
On February 25, 2008 an RFP, with a due date of March 25, 2008, was issued for a one year period
with the option to extend such contract for an additional year.
A total of 13 responses were received from agencies and reviewed by City's Department of
Community Development.
Eleven of the responses were selected for recommendation of Fiscal Year 2008-2009 HOPWA
Funds.
The Administration recommends the allocation of Fiscal Year 2008-2009 HOPWA Funds, in the
amount of $12,370,000, as specified in Attachment "A", attached and incorporated, to provide
housing assistance and housing related services to low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
