AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background. Information:
On July 30, 2008, the President of the United States signed the Housing Economic Recovery Act of
2008 ("HERA"), which included the NSP, administered by HUD.
The NSP provides targeted emergency assistance to state and local governments to acquire and
redevelop foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight
within their communities.
On September 26, 2008, the City accepted the sum of $12,063,702 for the implementation of the
Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) which provided emergency assistance to the City to
acquire foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight and
rehabilitate, resell, or redevelop the properties to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of
house values of neighboring homes.
As allowed by HUD, the City has allocated $700,000 in NSP grant funds for the demolition of eligible
properties within the City.
The Property is a public housing facility owned by Miami -Dade County, located in the City of Miami,
and in need of demolition, and the City has agreed to demolish the facility using NSP funds.
A Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") would need to be executed between the City and Miami -
Dade County in order to proceed with the demolition.
The Administration recommends the execution of the MOU between the City and Miami -Dade
County for the demolition of Elizabeth Virrick II, a Miami -Dade County owned public housing
development located at 2820 Northwest 23`d Avenue, Miami, Florida using NSP funds.
