Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and serve as the planning tools for jurisdictions funded, under the Community Planning and Development (CPD) formula to include grant programs. The formula grant programs guided bvthe Consolidated Plan consist ofthe following: Community Dcve|opmemtB[ockGrant([D86),HOK4E|nverLmeotPa/tneohip(H[)K4E),HomsingOpportonitiesfur Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program. These plans provide anassessment ofthe housing and community development meedsintheCityof M,iamtastrategic plan for addressing these needs; ' and aspecific one year Action Plan for the use ofthe U.IDepartment ufHousinQand Urban Development formula grants funds. TheFilan is document submitted toHUD with the intention ofserving asaforecast ` ` instrument utilized toidentify the comprehensivehousing affordability strategy and asacommunity development plan for jurisdictions funded under the Community Planning and Development form:ula. Briefly stated, the FYZ817'2U18annual Action Plan isa yearly illustration ofcommunity development ` needs in the City of Miami and includes an analysis and inventory of community services; proposed funding norespond nocommunity issues; and goals with objectives to address community priorities. To summarize, the Consolidated Plan and the annual Action Plan serve the following functions: • A planning documentfVr _ • ^oappUcationfor federal fundsunder HUformula grant programs • A strategy to be followed in carrying outHUD programs ' • An action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance 2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified [nthe Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless need's assessment, the housing market analysis or the Strategic plan. The City mfMiami isabright and vibrant city, acity that has experien�ced,inthe past decade, population growth and improvements to the median household income. However, city residents have not been able to keep up with the increasing high, cost of living in the Miami area, as such 67 percent of city residents fit the low -to -moderate income category and nearly half of city households (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 influx of foreign capital. The city is located in one Annual Action Plan 2 2017 of the top ten Metropolitan Statistical Areas (K4SAs) 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 inthe city. |n addition, population growth signals a higher demand/need for housing, especially for the city's olde,r population which has been increasing imthe past few years. This segment o[the population tends tobe situated in the lower income bracket and depends, for the most part, on a fixed, limited income. Housing needs for non -homeless special needs population differ enormously based on specific population groups. Some groups have characteristics that make it very challe,nging to gather precise and up-to-date information about them. Nonetheless, the city was able to gather 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 eecdmm N4-45ofthis p�am. —' Addressing non -housing community development needs are also a high level priority for the D[ZDwhich focuses on stimulating neighborhood development through the implementation of programs and strategies to help counteract the effect of distressed neighborhoods in our communities thirough coordinated planning to integrate public seMces, economic development, infrastructure improvements and housing activities for low income househoWs. Improved public services that provide services to the elderly, disabled individuals, youth, children, and provide employment training are important as a rneans to support our residents and to provide economic opportunities to families who, if it wasn't for the provision of these services, would not otherwise be able to work or look for employment. The DCED understands that economic development programs are vital for neighborhood revitalization; therefore, the department supports programs that help low -to -mode rate income persons attain employment in conjunction to facilitating business development, it provides assista,nce for public facilities and parks to improve the health and welfare of communities, and it ass,iststhe city inSupporting infrastructure improvements such ascurbs, sidewalks, and street improvements to maintain and revitalize neighborhoods.

Aside from this, the DCED holds several workshops a year to educate housing providers on, a variety of issues including fair housing matters, Davis Bacon regulations, and more. Throughout any given year, DCED,'s administrators participate in hundreds of meetings, attend dozens of informational conferences or workshops, and speak directly to representatives of multiple agencies and entities throughout Miami -Dade County to consider proposed collabo rations, new projects or services, ursimply toshare and/or request information, This type ofelementary cnmrnmnicatioo is essential to the collaborative nature of community development.

Local'ly, the first point of contact for a person who is homeless or on the verge of homelessness is the local U-freeHomeless member ofthe CoC.This is the centralized line where persons are assessed, and subsequently referred toavailable ormmunhyrcsourcessuch astemporary shelter (assuming beds are avaikab|e),rental assistance programs should they qualify (including ESG), free legal services, credit repair programs, etc. The line receives an average of 1,600 calls each month, The Centralized lntake system facilitates the CoC's ability to gauge the needs of the community and to properly refer callers tmthe best point ofcontact to assist them. Families who call' are directed to the Trust's central prevention provider, Camillus House, who emp|nysdlnica| staff. Families who are at risk of homelessness are provided an assessment to determine the best course of action. Families who require rental assistance and legal services are provided with those services either through Camillus, AmnuaUAction Plan 2017 HPRP, or as planned, ESG prevention and rapid re -housing programming. Individuals or families who require immediate shelter placement are referred to an outreach team for shelter p|acement.A|8 families with minor children are provided shelter regardless of capacity. If there is no room in the shelter system, outreach teams provide placement into hotel until such time as shelter bed becomes available. The outreach tearmsserve asgatekeepers into shelters funded by the Homeless Trust as walk- ins are not permitted. The Homeless Trust also contracts a team of clinical staff who serve a!s outreach workers for people experiencing chronic homelessness and/or mental health issues. Aside from, this, the local CoC established a local discharge coordination policy back in 2007, A Memoranda of Agreement was set up for all agencies that provide services to homeless persons or persons at risk of homelessness so, that they could address the needs of persons being released from the penitentiary/jail system.

The main form of outreach tnthe 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 broadcasting of public service announcementsvia the [by'scable TV station (picked upbyall City households with acable pnovider).Because the City isdivided 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.

As such, the D[ED utilizes, as base for its anticipated resources, funds received for the previous fiscal year to plan for future projects and 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 ofthe planning has been undermined hythe lack offunding availability which constrains cityeffortstorevitahze communities and address the needs oflow income city residents. i 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 Gapfunds, help stabilize these agencies.

Nevertheless, the city continues to support system where it targets distressed neighborhoods which are in most need of assistance, known as Neighborhood Development Zones (NDZs). Community Development funding will continue to be targeted and priority will be given to viable projects [nthe NDZs The NDZconcept isacomprehensive long-term approach to neighborhood revitalization that focuses on community assets as a means of stimulating market driven redevelopment. It is a holistic approach that calls for sustained, multi -year commitments from the city, the private sector, and community based organizations. The infusion of resources to the NDZ supports, the stabilization of the area and spurs growth. The NDZ seeks to: (1) Create physical improvements through infrastructure and stre,etscape improvements, code enforcement, and removal of slum and blight; (2) Improve housing conditions by targeting rehabilitation and new construction assistance in the N'DZ; (3) Stimulate economic development through facade improvements and' other forms of targeted business assistance; (4) Improve the living condition of residents; (5) Spur economic growth and revitalization. The geographic distribution offunding isnot directly driven bythe NDZ but rather bvthe district in which it is located. The city attempts to work ' with private sectorpartners and momomunity'based organizations toserve neighborhoods within NDZs,but oospecific percentage nffunds isreserved for these target areas as the 'funding isextremely limited. The city allocatesits funding onacitywide basis unless otherwise noted in this plan.

However, the city does provide an avenue whereby it prioritizes projects within those areas whenever such project is beneficial to area residents. Grant funding, is therefore, best utilized with the premise that it will directly assist low -to -moderate income residents.

The City intends to use 60%ofits ESG allocation to fond MHAP's0mtneach Service activities with: o goal ofassisting approximately 1449persons inthe coming year byproviding them with residential shelter placement, and non-residential services including engagement, case managenmentemergency health services, emergency mental health services, transportation, and services tVspecial populations.

MHAPfollows the Co"Outreach, Assessment and Placement' (OAP), which is provided on the street in a daily, non -aggressive fashion, and as a result ofservice requests from homeless persons, social service agencies, religious organizations and law enforcement personnel. OAP teams are composed offormerly homeless persons and social services professionals. Referrals are made to the level of housing, as appropriate, or to ancil�ary services, as may be needed. The established [)AP process requires on -the -street preliminary assessments and typical information and referral that encompasses five elernents: outreach engagement, preliminary psycho -social assessments, placement/referrals, follow-up and' re-engagernent (for individuals placed into housing by Annual Action Plan S] 2017 OMB comm|No: zsusn117(mpn//3z/2oz5) OAP who leave and return tothe streets) - 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 care);transitional housing (primary care); and, permanent supportive housing (advanced care), Outside of the three stages, there is a subset addressed for those persons who have a permanent disability /noemta| illness, substance abuse, AIDS). Emergency housing typically spans 60 days in an existent Homeless Assistance Center (HAQ a facility that provides short-term shelter, showers, clothing, food, mail, telephonesalong with counseling and the development of a "case plan" for each individual. Meanwhile, transitional housing spans six tonine monthswith a focus intensive toinclude rehabilitation,| and jo,b 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, All provider agencies under contract with the Homeless Trust 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 health, safety and well-being of homeless persons and provides ease of entry into the system. The Chapman Partnership (CPH) is the not -for -profit 501(c)(3) approved agency that is the private sector partner of the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust. CPH operates the 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 Miami -Dade, at the former Homestead Air Force Base. AsnfJanuary 21,201G`the cVnd housing inventory (veaprnundbeds) was asfollows: 1,716 emergency shelter beds, 24 safe haven beds, and 1'266transitiona[ beds, amounting to a total nf3,O0G in this plus 247nveMeanwhile, there were 3,996permanent supportive housing beds amounting to a grand total of 7,249 beds in the continuum. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) ma,ke the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families toaffordable housing units, and preventing individuals and tyro||/eswho were recently homeless from becoming homeless again When analyzing the data from the most recent PIT inregards tothe sub -populations identified, the two characteristics found most frequently, are mental illness and substance abuse, inboth the sheltered and unsheltered categories. This data would 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 Annual' Action Plan 54 2817 OMB control No: zs0001o(mpoza1/znz ) these needs given dwindling funding on a federal, state, aind local level creates seve ra I obstacles. First, establishing on -going support services for persons who are formerly homeless is difficult, Secondly, unemployment level's in South Florida continue to be some of the highest in the nation and lack of employment 'is akey factor inapersom'sability toretain housing and finally, there lsmlimited 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 funding towards the Royalton Apartments 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 tothe Little Haiti Gateway Apartments (70SRO units) also in Little Haiti. Helping low-income individuals and families, avoid ing especially extremely _ -- low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutimns\; or, receiving assistance from public orprivate agencies that address housing, heaUthi,social services, employment, education, oryouth needs. The fund ropid re-housinnd homelessness prevention services via its Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding. Approximately 30% of the City's ESG award goes towards these activities. The latter services are administered by sub'recipientvvithin the City and County under program known as HAND (the Housing Assistance Network of Dade County). The DCED's objectives for this program are to: (l) Prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless and to (2) Reduce the number ofhomeless individuals and families. Should ESG funding levels remain the same in the next year, the City plans to assist 25-27 persons/families via the HAND program, As a member of the local CoC, the City is actively engaged in furthering the already established local discharge coordination, policy. Established back imZDO7 AMemoranda nfAgreement was set upfor all agencies that provide services to homeless persons or personis at risk of homelessness. This Interagency Agreement includes the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust, State and County Corrections agencies, the 1l1h Circuit Court, the local public hospital (Jackson Memorial Hospi1a|},community mental health facilities, and the Florida Department of Children and Families. The Miami Homeless Assistance Program has worked with Jackson Memorial Hospital', and Commiunity Mental Health Centers to establish and implement discharge procedures for homeless individuals, ensuring that they have anadequate supply of medication upon discharge and that the appropriate services (ancillary and/or housing) are provided. Individuals referred by these agencies are assessed by specialized outreach teanm within 24 hours of initial referral and are usually placed in an emergency shelter within a day of the assessment. Discussion In Septernber of 2013, the Miarni-Dade County Horneless Trust's Board of Directors approved a new plan Annual Action P|om 55 2017 OMB Control No: /xmuz1r(exp.or/1/zos) to create at least 250 beds for the area's chronically homeless by requiring all Trust -funded permanent housing providers that do not already do so, toset aside units within their programs specifically for the chronically homeless. As per the Trust, an estimated 43 to 49% of the current unsheltered (street homeless) population is considered chronic under HUD's definition of someone who is disabled and has been homeless for more than a year, or four or more times in the past three years.

Many of the City's available vacant parcels are scattered and situated in the City's most economically distressed neighborhoods and would have to be developed on an in -fill basis. The scarcity of large vacant residential parcels raises housing development costs since the private market isunable torealize cost - savings atthbutedtoeconomyofsceieorhigherdensUvhnuaingpnjects.A|so,duetoourarea'ssea level's and proclivity tOhurricanes, building codes tend tobestringent thereby costly. Also, although, they vary considerably indifferent parts nfthe City, land costs inmost �neighborhoods are high which makes itdifficult for the private market toconstruct affordable hou in for lower income households i Miami without government subsidies. As such, the City provides the maximum amount of subsidies allowable under federal regulations to keep up with the costs of real estate, Recently, public infrastructure has also become a concern. Specifically, water and sewer lines in Miami are overseen and operated by Miami -Dade County. Notably, the latter's Water & Sewer Department is in the midst of what is said to be a 15-year overhaul of its 7,500 m,iles of sewer lines, with costs approximated at over $1 billion. Many areas of the County and City suffer from inadequate sewer capacity or aging, decaying lines which rupture or require extensive repairs. The vulnerability of this system means that if there is no connection to certain areas, then development to that area is halted.

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 nfthe VVi||imm E. Sadowski Act in 1992 created a dedicated source of revenue for housing in, Florida from a portion ofdocumentary stamp taxes on the transfer VKreal estate. This landmark legislation provided both for a dedicated funding mechanism for state and local programs, as well as a framework for local programs to operate. Approximately 3O96 of these revenues flow into the State Housing Trust Fund and 70 percent flow into the Local Government Housing Trust Fund. Originally, the collected amount was intended to be fully appropriated towards affordable housing efforts stote-vvide, via the funding of iwoprograms— the SAIL (State Apartment Incentive Loan) program provides low -interest loans on a Annual Action Plan 58 2017 OMB Control No: asoou1o(exv 07/3420/5 competitive basis tnaffordable housing developers and the SH[P(State Housing Initiatives Partnership) program, which provides funds tolocal governments asamincentive tocreate 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 ba:|amcetheir books leaving the SHIP program severely unfunded. The City has lobbied 000state 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 approved an amendment to the City's zoning code (Miami 21) creating affordable housing incentives for developers including, but not limited to, modifications of architectural/design standards and parking reductions if the new property is certified as providing a mlinimum of 80% of the dwelling's units as affordable housing serving residents atorbelow 6096ofthe area's AK4k 'recorded covenant runs with the property for 15 years afterh issuance of a final Cifi (CO). The deferral n incentive for developers to build out affordable housing versus market rate units, by reducing the project's costs and allowing for certain parking reductions and modifications of architectural/design standards, The City Commission passed Ordinance, #13304 amencling the City Code to create 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 ofpermits towards the legalization ofremodeling work and additions tmexisting buildings done prior to March ]L 2002 This enacted given the current economic climate creating a hardship for many citizens to bring their properties into compliance without proof of proper 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 summer of 2013, the City Commission passed a reduction of its property tax rate for the third consecutive year. Discussion Although the Miami 21 Code does address mixed use projects, no mention had been made of mixed mandatoryincome projects in the code until recently. The DCED believes that incorporating some type of e muuyonary/umn�proXracnxn�o�ne�uoeouu/oaxuvvxuruoeoevempmenzormmeo'mcom neighborhoods and keep essential public -sector employees such as police officers, teachers, and firefighters idi in the V i [es they serve, all while boosting ffomj W housing ly and promotingia| inclusion. will allow for a relaxation of zoning standards for mixed -income residential projects, with delineations in keeping with the state's SAIL I program as detailed above. Developers can utilize these mixed -income standards based on their providing at least 40% of the units serving residents at or below 60%axx/,or providing atleast 2096ofthe units serving residents atorbelow SO0AK4i Also, the DCED plans to continiue its longstanding relationship with Housing Opportunities Project for Excellence (HOPE) Inc., our local Fair Housing Center (FHIP), given the latter's ability to monitor and respond to the, different faces of discrimination espe,ciall'y in light of the foreclosure crisis and potential issues related to predatory lending/refinancing. As required, HOPE assists the DCED and City in testing for fair hous�ng law violations, pursuing enforcement of meritorious claims, and conducting fair housing education and outreach. Their insight into fair housing matters is crucial' in the D[ED's efforts to Annual Action Plan 59 2017 affirmatively further fair housing.

Lead is a particular concern in units where children reside. HUD regulations have been unified and now require that lead -based paint inspections be expanded. The reduction of elevated lead blood levels ("EBL") in children is a top priority for HUD. The City of Miami requires that inspections be conducted on all general housing rehabilitation projects involving construction dating prior to1978.Asbestos assessment and lead -based paint reports are generated from the inspections to identify the presence and location Annual Action Plan 61 2017 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) of hazards. The city requires that certified lead -based paint contractors perform the work on housing projects where hazards have been identified, to ensure that safe work practices are followed as implemented byFlorida OSHA. In additiom the city distributes an informational brochure to contractors and citizens regarding the use of Federal housing monies to abate lead -based' paint hazards. The following procedure will be enforced for all housing units assisted by the city. All housing units 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'»HQSinspection includes acheck for signs of|ead-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 hazards are abated. Finally, the city provides awritten notice regarding 'tbehazardsoflead-based paint toeach family mrapplicant who is receiving housing i signed by the applicant and maintained in the applicant's file to ensure awareness of the potential hazard.

Actions planned toreduce the number ofpoverty-level famUies The City strives toreduce the number of poverty level familiesbysupporting human development and economic development activities that facilitate the creation and retention otemployment opportunities allowing extremely low- and very low-income residents to move toward self-sufficiency. The City seeks 10reduce the number of poverty-levelfamilies bysupporting human development and ' ` ^ employment that facilitate h d retention of job opportunities. The mission is to evaluate programs that work towards getting families out of poverty. The City also works to develop the infrastructure support to assist economic development projects that compliment workforce enhancenneot, Traditionally, the norm has been to provide funding tnorganizations rendering social services, housing, economic development programs, and services1u the special needs population. As such, a series of funding gets committed to agencies identified as providers catering to the needs recognized in the public hearing process. Actions planned todevelop institutional structure At this moment the city does not have the capacity to develop institutional structure. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The city participates in a number ofboards and committees such as the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust Annual Action Plan 62 2017 omuControl No: 2506-0117(exp.07/31/2015) Board, the Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership and its Housing Committee among others to be able to properly assess some of the needs of our special needs population. Meetings are attended by public and private partners which allow for better coordination and cooperation in finding common grounds and an opportunity to coll'aborate and bring the necessary services to community.

The City sometimes uses SHIP funds for developers to use as local match to leverage additional HOME, Housing Tax Credits or SAIL from Florida Housing Finance Corporation, it also uses these for all of its single-family home programs (clownpayment assistance, emergency rehabilitation/replacement, foreclosure prevention), The AHTF collects financial contributions from private developers who desire to take advantage ofthe floor area bonus provisions allowed in the City's Zoning Code. The amount collected is specific tVevery square foot increase (floor area) and guidelines for the use of the funds were approved by the City of Miami Commission solely for housing programs and the Trust's administration.

All AHTF funding must obtain, approval by the , City's volunteer Housing and Commercial Loan Committee and/or City of Miami Commission, 2. Adescription ofthe guidelines that will be usedfuresale recapture ofHOME funds when used for homebuyeractivities as required ingZ.2S4 is as follows: |fthe owner sells and/ nrtransfer the house before the end ofthe [itv'smortgage term, the following provisions will apply: 1) The sale of the property must be pre -approved by the City, and the new buyers must meet the program's income limits in effect at the time AND the sales price must not exceed the maximum affordable sales price, in effect at the time. 2) For any 'early' sale or transfer, the City shall', share in any 'gain' realized, based on its pro -rated share of participation in the original' purchase. Furthermore, if the sale occurs within the first 3 years, the City shall keep 100% of its pro -rated share of the 'gaiin', from year 3 up to year 20, the City's share of its pro -rated 'gain' shall decrease by 5% every year, while in turn, the owner's share shall increase by 5% each year. At year 20 up to the City's loan maturity, the owner shall retain 100% of the City's 'gain'. 3) This above share gain proposal terminates in the event of a foreclosure, with the lender required to provide the City the right of first refusal to purchase the loan at a negotiated price. In the event of a foreclosure, the City will recapture any amount of net proceeds available from the sale of the property. In the case of refinances, the City Manager or his designee will determine the amount that has to be paid back based on the funding source. l A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24[FK 92254(n)(4) are as follows: Multifamily Rental projects which have been funded bvthe City will bemonitored according to estaWished procedures during the affordability period and as stated in, the Rent Regulatory Agreement (Agreement) signed with the City of Miami.

In addition, an onnual tenant eligibility monitoring will beg,in with the first anniversary of the project's Certificate Of OCCUpancy, and as close as possible to the project's anniversary during each following year for the entire term of the affordability. This monitoring will be conducted separate from any property inspections. During the on -site file review, the clocurnentation of a sarnple of 10% or more of Tenants is analyzed to confirm compliance with all HOME regulations.

Currently, 6OY6ofthe ESG allocation (the maximum allowable) is awarded to MHAPgiven the continued trend of unsheltered homeless persons who live on City ofK8iaml streets, Outside of this, the DCED issued an RFP in the fall of 2015 accepting Submissions from those en:tities seeking the remainder of ESG funding towards rapid re -housing and homelessness prevention activities. All RFP's were independently scored, with the agency awarded the highest number of points then recommended to City Commission for funding approval. In this last cycle, Citrus Health Network, Inc, (Citrus), was selected to continue operating both Rapid -Re -housing and Homelessness Prevention activities on behalf of the City of Miami, They do so for Miami and Miami -Dade County via the program known locally asthe Housing Assistance Network of Dade (HAND). Prior tothis, Citrus also successfully managed the former HPRPprogram forbodh'urisdictions. 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 circumstances surrounding a high level offoreclosures inFlorida and Miami during the past several years, which has left many more persons in the "at -risk of homelessness" category, with few re,sources to assist them. 4.

Describe performance stan:dards for evaluating ESG. When assessing street outreach efforts, the DOEDmonitors its agreementwith K*HAP,checking in on their efforts on a quarterly basis, to confirm they're on target to meet their annual goay as to the number of persons, to be assisted via street outreach efforts during the course of the fiscal year. When assessing rapid re -housing and homelessness prevention activities, the City determined upon a quick analysis of its clients that the average caise accounts for approximately $4,500 in assistance. To that end, we predict the number of persons we can assist under homelessness prevention and rapid re -housing activities, by dividing the amount oftotal funding allocated to the activity by that ` average case assistance annount. In FY 16'17,this arnounts to novQh|y2Z homelessness prevention cases and g rapid re -housing cases, In co'u�nction to these quantifiable goals, a set of performance (qualitative) standards has been established toensure that these projections aremet.Thcse standards are asfollows: Monitor the number of househollds assisted who return to shelters after Homelessness prevention, orRapid Re -housing Assistance isp,rovided.
