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 (" 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.
The AIDS Community has expressed the need for a STRMU program due to the current economic
conditions resulting in high unemployment in the community.
On September 27, 2011 four agencies responded to a Request for Proposal issued on August 30,
2011 for the provision of STRMU services for eligible families.
The Administration recommends the allocation for Program Year 2012-2013 HOPWA STRMU
assistance funds, in the amount of $500,000 as specified in Attachment "A", attached and
incorporated, to provide Short Term Rental, Mortgage and Utility assistance to low-income
individuals living with HIV/AIDS.
