Sponsor/Developer Selection Criteria:
SHIP funding under this strategy will be awarded through a competitive
Request for Proposals (RFP) process. Through the City of Miami's
solicitation, proposals will be received from for -profit and not -for -profit
housing developers for the construction of new affordable housing units

projects as stipulated by City of Miami's Resolution No. 98-587
adopted June 9, 1998; and
• Consistency with the City of Miami's Five Year Consolidation Plan
(2014-2018).
All recipients or households that will receive housing assistance under this
strategy once the housing project has been completed must meet the eligibility
requirements as stipulated in the Florida Statutes, Florida Administrative Code,
the SHIP Program Ordinance, Resolution, the Plan and this strategy. Only
multi -family housing will be eligible under this strategy. The properties to be
developed must be located within the corporate limits of the City of Miami.

appraisals, if directly related to housing construction;

- 20 -
• Costs associated with land acquisition and site development.
Any SHIP Program allocation including the term of the loan will be
recommended by City staff to the City's Housing and Commercial Loan
Committee for approval/disapproval based on the criteria enumerated above.
The City shall annually monitor and determine tenant eligibility. In cases
where another governmental entity provides the same monitoring and
determination, the City may rely on such monitoring and determination of
tenant eligibility. However, any loan or grant in the original amount of
$3,000 or less shall not be subject to these annual monitoring and
determination of tenant eligibility requirements. Tenant eligibility will be
monitored for at least annually for 15 years or the term of assistance
whichever is longer unless as specified above.

process.
