The City of Miami ("City") established the Economic Development Loan Fund ("EDLF") Program which will be administered by the Department of Community Development. The EDLF program is designed to fill the financing gap between private debt financing and private equity and funds are provided to create economic benefit through increased revenues and the creation and retention of jobs in the City. The EDLF Program is available to businesses located or planning to locate within the City boundaries with priority being given to businesses in the Neighborhood Development Zones. The inclusion of non -profits to the EDLF Program provides a standard evaluation tool to all CDBG assistance to non -profits for special economic development activities. The Administration requests to amend the EDLF to incorporate provisions to lend to non-profit organizations for the purchase and installation of machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures; and the construction, renovation, improvement and expansion, as per Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulation Section ("24 CFR") 570.203(a).
