Background Information:
Per the Code of Federal Regulations 24 CFR Part 5, each jurisdiction is required to submit a
certification that it will affirmatively further fair housing by conducting an analysis to identify
impediments to fair housing choice within the jurisdiction, taking appropriate actions to overcome the
effects of the impediments identified through the analysis and maintaining records reflecting the
analysis and action in this regards.
Housing Opportunities Project for Excellence, Inc. (HOPE, Inc.) is the only non-profit entity in Miami -
Dade engaged in testing for fair housing law violations, pursuing the enforcement of meritorious
claims, and providing fair housing education.
The City Administration recommends the transfer of the amount of $20,000 in CDBG funds from
Program Administration to HOPE, Inc. for the provision of fair housing testing, enforcement and
education to City of Miami residents and housing developers.
