AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") provides, on an annual
basis, to the City of Miami ("City") Emergency Solution Grant funds.
HUD recently advised the City that the final ESG allocation for Program Year 2012-2013 was
modified to $649,754.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 11-0482, adopted December 8, 2011, the Miami City Commission
authorized the acceptance of $362,639 for the old Emergency Shelter Grant program in the absence
of the availability of actual grant amounts.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 11-0484, adopted December 8, 2011, the Miami City Commission
authorized the allocation of the Emergency Shelter Grant funds to the City of Miami Homeless
Program, Neighborhood Enhancement Team in the amount of $351,760 and program administration
in the amount of $10,879.
The ESG program was replaced by the new Emergency Solutions Grant ("ESG") program, approved
by the passage of the Homeless Emergency & Rapid Transition to Housing Act of 2009 ("HEARTH
Act") and implemented starting with the second allocation of ESG funding for Program Year 2011-
2012.
The ESG program guidelines allows for the allocation of funds to continue supporting the City's
outreach and referral services to the chronically homeless and additionally requires the City to
support homeless prevention and rapid re -housing activities.
Federal regulations authorize 7.5% of the ESG grant to be utilized for planning and administrative
costs to manage grant related activities.
Upon adoption, this resolution will replace the ESG components of the above mentioned resolutions.
The Administration recommends the allocation of ESG funds for Program Year 2012-2013, as
specified in Attachment "A"; attached and incorporated.
