On June 22, 2007, the City of Miami ("City") executed an agreement with HUD to install generators at elderly facilities but due to the costs of the installation and maintenance of such equipment, the City was unable to identify entities that were able to participate in this program. As a result, the City requested of HUD to allow the City to utilize the funding for any rehabilitation, reconstruction and improvements in elderly facilities. In July 2010, the City received authorization from HUD for the change in the scope of work. Since the City did not receive any requests for Public Facilities and Improvements from elderly facilities in the 2010 Request for Proposal ("RFP"), the City notified agencies and the districts of the availability of the EDI funding. The City received two requests for funding to rehabilitate and improve elderly facilities from Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc. and Assistance to the Elderly, Inc. Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc. - Rafael Villaverde Center, located at 700 Southwest 8th Street, Miami, Florida, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, founded in 1972 and has grown into one of the largest providers of services to economically disadvantaged and socially isolated persons in South Florida. Assistance to the Elderly, Inc., located at 5617 Northwest 7th Street, Miami, Florida, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, established in 1990, has been serving Miami -Dade community for 20 years offering services such as Assisted Living, Respite Care, Memory Care for residents suffering from Alzheimer's and Hospice Care. The Administration recommends the allocation of EDI funds in the amount of $247,500; allocating said funds to Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc. in the amount of $77,500 and the amount of $170,000 to Assistance to the Elderly, Inc. to renovate and rehabilitate elderly facilities.
