AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
On October 24, 2003, September 17, 2004 and January 21, 2005, the Housing and Commercial
Loan Committee ("HCLC") approved the allocation of $261,340 in Community Development Block
Grant ("CDBG") funds and $487,213 in HOME Investment Partnership ("HOME") funds to Peninsula
Housing Development, Inc. XVII ("Peninsula") for the La Palma Apartments project ("Project") located
at 1040 SW 1st Street.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-0203, adopted April 12, 2007, the Miami City Commission approved
the Affordable Housing Trust Fund ("AHTF") Guidelines.
On April 20, 2007 the HCLC approved the substitution of $253,787 in CDBG funds and $2,022 in
HOME funds expended for the project because of land banking issues with AHTF.
Peninsula is a Florida not -for -profit corporation whose sole member is Codec, Inc., a Florida not -for -
profit corporation. Codec, Inc. is a certified Community Housing Development Organization.
According to the AHTF Guidelines, funds can only be allocated through Request for Proposal or
Miami City Commission approval.
Such allocation was not made through an RFP process or by the Miami City Commission.
On August 21, 2006 the HOME contract was fully executed and on October 1, 2007, construction on
the project commenced.
The project is currently 97% complete and the AHTF allocation has already been built into the
financing of the project.
The Administration recommends that the City ratify the HCLC approval dated April 20, 2007, of
substituting $253,787 in CDBG funds and $2,022 in HOME funds with AHTF to Peninsula for the La
Palma Apartments project located at 1040 SW 1st Street.
