l. Introduction
The Five -Year Consolidated Plan and its corresponding annual Action Plan are submitted to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban, Development (HUD,) and serve as the planning tools for jurisdictions
funded, ulnder the Community Planning and Development i formula to include grant programs. The
formula grant programs guided by the Consolidated Plan consist of the following: Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), H{}k4[ Investment Partnership (HOME), Housing Opportunities for
PeraonsvvithA[DS,(HQPVVA)andtheEmergency5oUutionsGram1iprm8nann.
These plans provide amassessment ofthe housing and oomnmunhvdevelopment needs in, the City nf
Miami; astrategic plain for addressing these needs; and aspecific one year Action Plan for the use ofthe
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development formula grants funds, The Five -Year Plan is a
clmcumemt submitted: to HUD with the intention of serving as a forecast instrument utilized to identify
the comprehensive housing affordability strategy and asacommunity development ifor
jurisdictions funded under the Community Pianniing and Development formula.
Briefly stated, the FY2016-2017 annual Action Plan is a yearly illustration of community development
needs in the City of Miami and includes an ana�ysis and inventory of community -services; proposed
funding to respond to community issues; and goals with objectives to address community priorities. To

able to keep upwith the increasing high cost ufliving in the Miami area, a!s such 67 percent ofcity
residents fit the low -to -moderate income category and nearly half of city househoilds (46 percent) are
cost -burdened. This is a city where socio-economic and housing trends for its residents are directly
affected by a housing market that is driven by a large infilux of foreign capital, The city is located in one

FY2015-2027V1.16.1

of the top ten Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) with the widest wealth gaps and income disparities
which correlates with the increasing housing costs city residents are experiencing, This trend has
contributed to an excessive number of cost -burdened households and overcrowding in the city. in
addition, population growth signals ahigher denmamd/need for housing, especially for the city"solder
population which has been increasing in the past few years. This segment of the population tends to be
situated in the lower income bracket aind depends, for the most part, on a fixed', limited income.
Housing needs for non -homeless special needs population differ enormously based oil specific
population groups, Some groups have characteristics that make it very challengingtogadherprecbeand
up-to-date information about them. Nonetheless, the city was able tugather relevant data from
different sources cited throughout the plan, but mainly on a County -specific basis that was utilized to
address the housing needs of this segment of the population. This analysis can be found under section
NA-45 of this plan.
Addressing non -housing community development needs are also, a high level priority for the DCED which
focuses oil stimulating neighborhood development through the implementation of programs and
strategies to help counteract the effect mfdistressed neighborhoods in Our communities through
coordinated planning to integrate public services, economic development, infrastructure improvements
and housing activities for low income households, Improved public services that provide services to the
elderly, disabled individuals, youth, children, and provide, employment training are important as a
means tnSupport our residents arid toprovide economic opportunities tmfamilies who, [fitwasn't for
the provision of these se,rvices, would not otherwise be able to work or look for employment. The DCED
understands that economic development programs are vital for neighborhood revitalization;

In 2006, U.S. HUD implemented a new system to measure the performance of programs funded with
federal entitlement do|iar;that would mUom/ HUD to provide decision makers direct results to emphasize
program outcomes for future funding consideration. As such entitlement jurisdictions are manclated to

objective along with one outcome:

Verbal Comments, Public Hearing
Resident Comment
Renita Holmes
Resident concerned that targeted funds has a gap for certain women and entrepreneurs and for what is
accessible for business owners with disabilities. Asking for gap services to be available for women and
veteran women with disabilities particularly those with terminal illnesses.. Requested to modify outreach
to lower income people to be involved in the process. Ms. Holmes stated that there needs to be
acceptance to some of the reports she has already made. She is concerned when African American
women need to get participation about specific income that is not accessible and not accommodating
and she feels that way about poverty initiatives (non-federal funding). Racism and discrimination is an
issue.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
The DCED makes every attempt to target as many stakeholders as possible to join the Consolidated Planning process. The main form of outreach
to the public has always been the public hearings, whereby all residents, developers, public service agencies,housing associations, clients, and
other City Departments are invited via a printed advertisement in The Miami Herald, multiple e-mail blasts, printed flyers mailed out to all
agencies, press release distribution to media outlets, and the frequent broadcastingofpublic service announcements via the City' cableTV
station (picked up by all City households with a cable provider). Because the City is divided into five districts, with five sitting Commissioners (one
representing each), then one meeting is held per District to address the needs, expectations and concerns of that particular district at their
District meeting. This helps keep the meeting focused and concise, and allows members of the public to ask questions and make comments to
the Commissioner directly, as he/she is typically in attendance. At these hearings, a survey was made available to all those in attendance to
further address their District's needs, and the same survey is posted on the DCED's website for digital submission.

Introduction
The D[EDfiscal year runs from April 1stthrough March 31siwhich is six months earlier than the start of the federal fiscal year of October 15t. As
such, the DCED utilizes, as a base for its anticipated resources, funds received for the previous fiscal year to plan for future projects and

omaControl No: zsoao1zr(e,nun3z/zoz )
ZZ
activities. This exercise has proven to be a high order challenge as federal funding awarded to the city has been decreasing at an alarming rate,
year after year. Much of the planning has been undermined by the lack of funding availability which constrains city efforts to revitalize
communities and address the needs of low income city residents.
The City of Miami provides General Fund dollars to leverage, and complement, approved CDBG-funded public service agencies and to provide
additional public services that otherwise could not be funded due to the 15% CDBG cap on the funding of public services. These City funds,
known as Social Service Gap funds, help stabilize these agencies. The City of Miami Planning & Zoning Departments also collect financial
contributions (as stipulated by the current Zoning Ordinance) from private developers who opt for specific provisions allowed by the City of
Miami Zoning Code (Miami21) to developments providing a certain number of affordable units in a given project, as defined by the Code. These
collections are then dedicated to the City`s Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF), with funding from this source used to further the DCED's
existent housing programs, aiding both homebuyers (first-time and existent) and developers (mufti -family rental and homeownership projects),
as delineated in the Affordable Housing Trust guidelines approved by City Commission in Resolution #07-0203.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Due to the limited amount of resources available, the city cannot reserve funding based on a specific
geographic target area. However, the city does provide an avenue whereby it prioritizes projects within
those areas whenever such project isbeneficial toarea residents. Grant funding, istherefore, best
utilized with the premise that it will directly assist low -to -moderate income residents.

Miami's HomelessAssistance ( ) serves as the fron:t lines in the City's fight against
homelessness and has handled street outreach: services for the City for over a decade. The City intends
to use 60% of its ESG allocation to fund MHAP's Outreach Service activities with a goal of assisting
approximately 1449 persons in the coming year by providing them with residential shelter placement,
and non-residential services including engagement, case management, emergency health services,

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City/DCED does not fund or operate emergency shelters/transitional housing.
The CoC works with a number of housing providers to address homelessness in our community via a
three -stage plan which includes emergency housing (temporary ) transitional housing (primary
cere);and,pemmanentsuppor1ivehousing(advancedcare).Uutxdeofthethmeestages,thereisasubset
addressed for those persons who have permanent disability (mentallillness,substance abuse, AIDS).
E housing typically 6Od i | `^(HA[)a facility
that provides short-term shelter, showers, clothing, food, mail, telephones along with cou,nseling and
the development of a "case plan" for each individual, Meanwhile, transitional housing spans six to nine
months with a foculs on intensive case management�, to include treatment, rehabilitation, employment,
and job training. This care is specialized treatment (mental health; substance abuse; separate programs
for men, women and children, AIDS patients, etc.) with the goal of preparing individuals to be self-
sufficient. Al!l provider agencies under con�tract with the Homeless Tru!st must to provide Must Comply
with the Trust's approved standards of care for emergency care facilities, transitional care facilities, and
permanent housing, This ensures the heaith, safety and weVI-being of homeless pe,rsons and provides
ease of entry into the system. The Chapman Partnership C9 agency that is the private sector partner of the Miami-Dacle County Homeless Trust, CPH operates the the not -for -profit 501(c)(3) approved
two currently operational Homeless Assistance Centers (HACs), offering a combined 800 beds. The first
center, HAC 1, is located in the City of Miami (near downtown) and opened in October 1995. The second
center, HAC 11, opened in October 1998 in South Miarni-Dacle, at the former Homestead Air Force Base,

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans �nd their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facil'itating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals, and families who were
DRAFT Annual Action Plan Amendment 59
FY2016'2017V1.I6.1
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
When analyzing the data from, the most recent PIT imregards tothe sub -populations identified, the two
characteristics found most frequently, are mental illness and substance abuse, in both the sheltered and
unsheltered categories. This data; xvuu|d seem to indicate that a bulk ofhomeless persons are battling
another underlying issue(s) and as such, are in need of housing and supportive services. Addressing
these needs given dwindling funding onafederal�, state, and local level creates several obstacles. First,
establishing on -going support services for persons who are formerly homeless is difficult. Secondly,
unemployment levels inSouth Florida continue tobesome ofthe highest inthenationandiackmf
employment isakey factor inapermon'sability toretain housing and finally, there isalimited supply of
affordable housing units within City limits, specifically for the very low-income. To that end, the City
works within the means available and awards federal funds (HOME, HOPWA, CDBG-DR) to supportive
housing ---'projects within City limits. Recent allocations include fundimg towardsthe RoyatmnApartmemts
in Downtown Miami; Parkview Gardens in Liberty City which opened in the Fall of 2012; Little River Bend
Apartments (66 units) in, the Little Haiti neighborhood; and' rehabilitation dollars to the Little Haiti
Gateway Apartments (70SRO units) also in Little Haiti.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especiallyextranmek/
low-income individuals and families and thilosewho are. being d�ischargedfrom publicly
funded institutions and systems ofcare (such ashealth, care facilities, mnen1a|health facilities,
foster cane and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or �rivate agencies that address housing, health, social services,
em,ploymen�t, education, or youth needs.
The City continues to fund ropid re -housing and homelessness prevention services via its Emergency
Solutions Grant (BG)funding. Approximately 30% of the City'sB6award goes towards these activit�es.
The latter services are administered by a sub -recipient within the City and County under a program
known as HAND (the Housing Assistance Network of Dade County),, The DCED's, objectives for this
program are to: (1) Prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless and to (2) Reduce the
number ofhVme|essindividuals and families, Should ES�Gfunding levels remain the same inthe next
year, the City plans to assist 25-27 persons/farnilie5 via the HAND prograrn.
As a member of the local CoC, the City is actively engaged in furthering the already e�tablished local
discharge coordination policy. Established back in 2007, A, Memoranda of Agreement was set up for all
agencies that provide services to horneless, persons or persons at risk of homelessness, This Interagency
Agreement includes the Miaimi-Dade Homeless, Trust, State and County Corrections agencies, the 11th
Circuit Court, the local public hospital (Jackson KHcmnha| Hospita(),community mental health facilities,
and the Florida Department ofChildren and Families. The K8ianniHomc[eoAssistance Program has

In September of 2013, the Miam:i-Dade County Homeless Trust's Board of Directorsapproved mnew plan
tocreate atleast Z5Obeds for the area's chronically homeless by requiring allTrust-funded
permanent housing providers that do not already do so, to set aside units within their programs
specifically for the chronically homeless. Asper the Trust, an estimated,43 to 4g96ofthe current
unsheltered (street homeless) population is considered chronic under HUD's definition of someone who
'
isdisabled and has been homeless for more than a year, orfour ormore times inthe past three
years. This strategy aligns the Trust with HUD's objective to end chronic homelessness by 2015.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing --91~220(j)
Introduction
The City has long had to combat several factors outside of its control that act as barriers to the
development and preservation ofaffordable housim8. First because Miami isthe oldest jurisdiction in,
South Florida, there are relatively few larger -sized residentially zoned vacant tracts in the City as
compared to other suburban areas in Miami -Dade County that were developed' later. Many of the City's
available vacant parcels are scattered and s,ituatedinthe [ity'smost economically distressed
neighborhoods and would have to be developed on an in-fil� �asis. The scarcity of la,rge vacant
residential parcels raises housing development costs since the private market is unabJe to realize cost -
savings attributed to economy of scale, or higher density houlsing projects. Also, due to our area's sea
level's and proc||vitytohurricame�bu|ldimgcodcstendtobestrin�entand therebycost|y.Also, although
� �
they vary considerably lndifferent parts nfthe City, land costs inmost neighborhoods are high which
makes itdifficult for the private market 1n construct affordable housing for lower income households in
Miami without government subsidies. Assuch, the City provides the moaxinnumamount ofsubsidies
allowable under federal' regulations to keep up with the cmsts of real estate. Recently, public
infrastructure has also becorne a concern. Specifically, water and sewer lines imMiami are overseen and
operated by Miami -Dade County. Notably, the latter"s Water & Sewer Department is in the midst of
what |ssaid tobeaI5'yearoverhaul nfits 7,S8OmnU7miles with costs approximated atover
$1 billion. Many areas, of the County and City suffer from inadequate sewer capacity or aging, decaying
lines which rupture orrequire extensive repairs. The vulnerability mfthis system means that ifthere is
moconnection tmcertain areas, then development tpthat area is halted.
Actions itplanned boremove or ameliorate the negative effects ofpublic policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances building codes, fees and chiarges,growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
At the last general election () in Florida,state voters approved constitutional amendment eleven
(11)which offers aoadditional $5[\0OO.ODhomestead exemption toseniors who already qualify that
have, also maintained their home as their permanent residence for, at least 25 years and have a market
value less than $250,000.00. The amendment required local legislation as well, and in the spring of
2013, the Mayor's office introduced the item approximating that at least two thousand City households
would benefit, with seniors qualifying for an additional $400 in savings each year. The enactment of the
William E. Sadowski Act in 1992 created a dedicated Source of revenue for housing inFlorida from a
portion ofdocumentary stamp taxes on the trainsferofreal estate. This landmark legislation provided
both for a dedicated funding mechanism for state and local programs, as well as a frarnework for local
programs to operate. Approxirnately 30% of these revenues flow into the State Housing Trust Fund and
70 percent flow into the Local Government Flousing Trust Fund. Originally, the collected amount

two programs — the SAIL (State Apartment Incentive Loam) program provides low -interest loans on a
competitive basis to affordable housing developers and the SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnership)
program, which provides funds 10 local governments aoanincentive tncreate partnerships that produce
and preserve affordable homeownership and multifamily housing. However, once the economy tanked
and Florida's budget suffered', the State,'s legislature authorized using certain percentages of the fund to
balan,ce their boo,ks leaving the SHIP, program severely unfunded, The City has lobbied �n a state level,
urging the Legislature to use the housing trust fund' monies solely for housing, as originally intended.
In order to spur affordable housing development City-wide, in 2011 the City Commission a�proved an
amendment to the City's zoning code (Miami 21) creating affordable housing incenidves for developers
including, but not limited to, modifications of architectural/de5ign standards and parking reductions if
the new property iscertified asproviding aminimum of8O9&ofthe dwelling's units asaffordable
housing serving residents at or below 60% of the area's AMI. A recorded covenant runs with the
property for 15 years after the issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy (CO), The deferral creates an
incentive for developers to build out aff�rdable hOUsing versus market rate units, by reducing the
project's costs and allowing for certain parking reductions and modifications of architectural/de5ign
standards, The City Commission passed Ordinance #13]04arnemding the City Code tocreate a"Code
Relief Program"' to assist those residents who wish to legalize their residential properties in a manner
allowing for the safe and orderly procurement of permits towards the legalization of remodeling work
and' additions tuexisting buildings done [ March 2,2DO2.This program was enacted given the
current economic climate creating a hardship for many citizens to bring their properties, into compliance
without proof ofproper permits, given that many properties were built under older, now defunct
building and zoning codes. The program was given two years to operate. Finally, in the surnmer of 2013,
the City Commission passed a reduction of its property tax rate for the third consecutive year.
Discussion
Although the Miamn|ZlCode does address mixed use projects, nomention had been rnadeofmixed
income projects |mthe code until recently. The DCEDbelieves that incorporating some type nf
mandatory inclusionary zoning program into the Code could allow for the development of mixed-inconne
neighborhoods and keep essential public -sector employees such as police officers, teachers, and
firefighters resid[ng|othe communities they serve, all while boosting affordable housing supply and
promoting social inclusion. In late February, City leaders approved an amendment to MiamiZIvvhich will
allow for arelaxation mf zoning standards for rnixed-income residential projects, with delineations in
keeping with the state's SAIL program as detailed above, Developers can utilize these mixed -income

for all hou!sing units assisted by the city. All housing un:its, are inspected for Housing Quality Standards
("HQS") before housing assistance is provided, regardless of the age of construction or the age of the
prospective tenants. The city's HQS inspection includes a check for signs of lead -based paint and dust
hazards (chipping, peeling and scaling of paint) as required under HUD lead -based paint regulations.
Properties identified as having potential lead -based paint and dust hazards are reported and hazardis are
abated. Finally, the city provides a written notice regarding the hazards of lead -based paint to each
family or applicant who is receiving housing assistance for units built before 1978. The notice must be
signed by the applicant and maintained in the applicant's file to ensure awareness of the potential
hazard. The city does, not limit the inspections, abatement, or notices to families with children under age
6.

The City has historically awarded the bu|kofits ESG funding tmthe Miami Homeless Assistance
Program /MHAP\, aCity unit that has handled homeless street outreach since 2991. MHAP'sstaff —
nf whom are formerly homeless - provide outreach, assessment, placement, information,
referral and transportation services to homeless individuals and families. They also receive funding
from other sources and are an actively engaged participant in the local CoC, utilize the Homeless
Trust's master HOMeless Verificotion Form, report all necessary data in HMIS, and participate in the
bi-annual Poin,t-in-Time (PIT) counts of homeless persons, County -wide. Currently, 60% of the ESG
al�location (the maximum allowable) is awarded to MHAP given the continued trend of unsheltered
homeless persons who live on City of Miami streets.
Outside of this, the DCED i'ssued ain RFP in the fall' of 2015 acce,pting submissions from those entities
seeking the remainder ofESG funding towards rapid re'houdngand homelessness prevention
activities. All RFPswere independently scored, with the agency awarded the highest number of

Network, Inc. (Citrus), was selected to continue operating both Rapid -Re -housing, and Homelessness
Prevention activities on behalf of the City of Miarni. They do so for Miami and Miami -Dade County
via the program known locally as the Housing Assistance Network of Dade (HAND).

Although the City acknowledges that HUD has expressed the importance that ESG dollars be used
towards rapid re -housing when possible, the City has opted to allocate greater percentage
towards homelessness prevention activities given the unique set of circurnstances surrounding a
high level of foreclosures in Florida and Miami during the past several years, which has left many
more persons in the "at-r|skofhome|essness" category, with few resources to assist themn.
