Introduction The Five -Year Consolidated Plan is submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and serves as the planning tool for jurisdictions funded, under the Community Planning and Development (CPD) formula to include grant programs. The formula grant programs guided by the Consolidated Plan consist of the following: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) and the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) program. The Five -Year Consolidated Plan provides an assessment of the housing and community development needs in the City of Miami; a strategic plan for addressing these needs; and a specific one year Action Plan for the use of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development formula grants funds. The Five -Year Plan is a document submitted to HUD with the intention of serving as a forecast instrument utilized to identify the comprehensive housing affordability strategy and as a community development plan for jurisdictions funded under the Community Planning and Development formula. Briefly stated, the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan is a detailed illustration of community development needs in the City of Miami and includes an analysis and inventory of community services; proposed funding to respond to community issues; and goals with objectives to address community priorities. To summarize, the Consolidated Plan serves the following functions: • A planning document for the jurisdiction • An application for federal funds under HUD's formula grant programs • A strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD programs • An action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview The City of Miami is a bright and vibrant city, a city that has experienced, in the 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 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 Consolidated Plan MIAMI 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) addition, population growth signals a higher demand/need for housing, especially for the city's older population which has been increasing in the past few years. This segment of the population tends to be 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 challenging 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 section NA-45 of this plan. Addressing non -housing community development needs are also a high level priority for the DCED which focuses on stimulating neighborhood development through the implementation of programs and strategies to help counteract the effect of distressed 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 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 -moderate income persons attain employment in conjunction to facilitating business development, it provides assistance for public facilities and parks to improve the health and welfare of communities, and it assists the city in supporting infrastructure improvements such as curbs, sidewalks, and street improvements to maintain and revitalize neighborhoods. In 2006, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development implemented a new system to measure the performance of programs funded with federal entitlement dollars that would allow HUD to provide decision makers direct results to emphasize program outcomes for future funding consideration. As such entitlement jurisdictions are mandated to include outcome performance measure on all programs and activities. All activities must meet one objective along with one outcome: Objectives: 1. Creating suitable environments 2. Providing decent affordable housing 3. Creating economic opportunities Outcomes: 1. Availability/Accessibility 2. Affordability Consolidated Plan MIAMI 4 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 3. Sustainability 3. Evaluation of past performance The economic downturn affected 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process The City of Miami focused on a comprehensive citizen participation process that targeted all of its stakeholders in an effort to create a well-balanced and sensitive Consolidated Plan where the needs of city residents, community -based organization, and private agencies were responsibly captured and addressed. The city's effort included notices in The Miami Herald, multiple e-mail blasts, printed flyers mailed out to agencies, press release distribution to media outlets, and public service announcements via the City's cable TV station. The city held one meeting per commission district. During these hearings, the city was able to properly capture the needs, concerns, and expectations many residents expressed, gathered suggestions and proposed avenues to alleviate those needs. The public meetings to discuss CDBG, HOME and ESG funding for the upcoming Five -Year Consolidated Plan were held after working hours. In addition, the city, as administrators of the HOPWA program, held two additional meetings to discuss the needs, expectations, and future plans for the allocation of program funds. 5. Summary of public comments For a summary of public comments please refer to the Citizen Participation section of this plan. 6. Summary of comments or views not accepted and the reasons for not accepting them All comments up to the date of issue of this plan have been accepted. 7. Summary The City of Miami FY2014-2018 Consolidated Plan aims to reduce the high levels of poverty that exists within its boundaries through its community and economic development efforts. The objective of this plan is to revitalize distressed neighborhoods by implementing community and economic development strategies in an effort to improve the quality of life of low income city residents by providing them with access to services which aids them in achieving self-sufficiency and economic stability.

Introduction The City of Miami Department of Community & Economic Development (DCED) is the lead agency overseeing the development of the Consolidated Plan and it is responsible for providing guidance and policy direction for the implementation of eligible programs that support the overall City strategy for community revitalization. The City executes its housing and community development plan in harmony with public, private and not - for -profit agencies. Not -for -profit organizations include not -for -profit developers, community housing development organizations (CHDO), and social and economic development service providers. Private sector partners include local financial institutions, for -profit developers, microenterprises, and other local businesses. The City works closely with its partners to design programs that work to address the present and future needs of its residents. Still it is clear that some program delivery gaps attributed to funding shortfalls are still present and serve as impediments to the coordination process. In order to make the Consolidated Plan a true consolidated effort, the Department of Community Development sought to identify opportunities for cooperation and collaboration among other City departments to address the needs of the target communities and coordinate projects in an effort to maximize the use of funds. The following is a list of City units and departments that participated in the process: Office of the Mayor and all five City Commissioners, Building Department, Office of Code Compliance, Planning and Zoning, Parks and Recreation, Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) Department, Miami Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP), and Grants Administration (ACCESS Miami). As a HOPWA grantee, the City works closely with the Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership and its Housing Committee to develop a metropolitan -wide strategy to address the needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and their families. The Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership is the official county planning board for HIV/AIDS. Its members are PLWHAs, care givers, Ryan White Program service providers, government representatives and community members. The City of Miami is formally represented on the Partnership and its Housing Committee. The Housing Committee is comprised of PLWHAs, HIV/AIDS care providers, HOPWA-funded agencies, housing providers and members of the community. The City looks to the HIV/AIDS Partnership's Housing Committee for community input and advice concerning resource allocation, HOPWA program policies, and coordination of efforts to address housing needs with care and treatment services and activities directed at persons living with HIV/AIDS. In coordination with the Housing Committee, the HOPWA Program conducts county -wide Housing Needs Assessments of PLWHAs to further determine the use of resources. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 8 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(1)). In order to enhance coordination between housing providers and other community development stakeholders, the DCED participates in numerous boards: it sits on the Board of the Housing Committee of the local CoC (Miami -Dade Homeless Trust), it participates in the Advisory Council of the HAND program which provides homelessness prevention and rapid re -housing funds (ESG) locally, and it sits on the Board of the Miami Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership which addresses the needs of the HIV/AIDS community in Miami -Dade. Participation in all of these committees/boards allows the DCED to stay abreast of the latest developments in numerous publically funded programs, and to address the public's issues and concerns. 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 collaborations, new projects or services, or simply to share and/or request information. This type of elementary communication is essential to the collaborative nature of community development. Some of the entities we have dealt with are as follows: Homeless Services: Miami -Dade Homeless Trust, Citrus Health Network, Miami Coalition for the Homeless, Inc. Social Services: Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership, Alliance for the Aging, Little Havana Activities & Nutrition Centers, Inc. Housing: Various for -profit developers, Community Development Corporations (CHDOs), Neighborhood Housing Services of South Florida, South Florida Regional Planning Council, Public Housing and Community Development Department of Miami -Dade County (PHCD) Economic Development: The Beacon Council, Miami -Dade Economic Advocacy Trust Health Services: Miami -Dade Health Department Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness Locally, the first point of contact for a person who is homeless or on the verge of homelessness is the local toll -free Homeless Helpline, operated by Camillus House, an active member of the CoC. This is the centralized line where persons are assessed, and subsequently referred to available community Consolidated Plan MIAMI 9 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) resources such as temporary shelter (assuming beds are available), 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 Intake system facilitates the CoC's ability to gauge the needs of the community and to properly refer callers to the best point of contact to assist them. Families who call are directed to the Trust's central prevention provider, Camillus House, who employs clinical 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, 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 placement. All families with minor children are provided shelter regardless of capacity. If there is no room in the shelter system, outreach teams provide placement into a hotel until such time as a shelter bed becomes available. The outreach teams serve as gatekeepers 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 as 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. Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate outcomes, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the administration of HMIS The City communicates with the Trust (CoC) several times a year via conference call to discuss ESG dollars, regulations and expectations of the participating jurisdictional entities in the CoC. During those conversations, performance standards have been discussed as a universal set of standards is being worked on with the Trust at the helm. Aside from this, when the City's ESG dollars were cut in 13-14, the Trust provided additional funding so that the City's street outreach, rapid re -housing and homeless prevention activities could be supported. Also, the City and Miami -Dade County (another local ESG recipient) both utilize the same sub -recipient, Citrus Health Network (Citrus) to administer the rapid re- housing and homelessness prevention components of their ESG allocations, which is locally known as the HAND program. To that end, the City attends Citrus Health Network's quarterly meetings whereby ESG results are reported to all those community entities involved in the ESG program, and potential modifications to the ESG program are addressed as are issues that are related to the program's overall operation, such as long appointment waits, high number of ineligible applicants, potential fraud concerns, etc. The local Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is administered County -wide by the Trust, as the leading entity in the area CoC. Sub -recipients who receive Trust funding or Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding are required to utilize the HMIS system. The providers submit Consolidated Plan MIAMI 10 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) monthly and annual progress reports for both the Trust and HUD. The system is also used to generate reports for all types of information, in particular the PIT count and other HUD and Trust Board reporting. In the case of the DCED's ESG funding, HMIS is used by the Miami Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP), the City of Miami Department that has managed the Street Outreach component of the Emergency Solutions Grant (formerly the Emergency Shelter Grant) for the DCED for over a decade. HMIS is also used by Citrus Health Network, the DCED's sub -recipient in the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re -housing components of the ESG. Referrals from one program to another are accomplished via HMIS. Data on all persons served under ESG is entered into the HMIS system. Other systems which discharge persons into homelessness (e.g. the jails, crisis units, foster care and hospitals) also utilize the HMIS. 2.

Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) City of Miami Planning and Zoning Departments By State Statute, each City and County in Florida must adopt a comprehensive plan and also adopt land development regulations to implement the comprehensive plan. The purpose of the MCNP is to indicate how the City will meet the needs of existing and future residents, visitors, and businesses, while preserving the character and quality of its communities. MCNP creates a policy framework that has the effect of law, to guide all public and private development decisions in the City. MCNP consists of materials (written and graphic) that describe the principles, guidelines, and standards for the orderly and balanced future development of the City (economic, social, physical, environmental, and fiscal development.

Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation 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 broadcasting of public service announcements via the City's cable TV 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. In adherence to U.S. HUD's suggestions for informational meetings, at the hearings the public was provided with an informational handout that included the latest demographic breakdown for the City based on the U.S. 2010 Census, the latest total funding allocation breakdowns, and an up-to-date listing of entities funded with federal monies (HUD) in their district. Also included was a map of the current Neighborhood Development Zone (NDZ) in their district if one exists, with an updated legend noting areas that qualified as low- to moderate -income census tracts. The public meetings to discuss CDBG, HOME and ESG funding for the upcoming Five -Year Consolidated Plan were held after working hours as follows: District 1: Monday, August 12, 2013, 5:30 p.m., Allapattah Community Action, Inc., Senior Center, 2257 NW North River Drive; District 2: Tuesday, August 13, 2013, 6 p.m., Miami City Hall, Commission Chambers, 3500 Pan American Drive; District 3: Friday, August 16, 2013, 5 p.m., Jose Marti Gymnasium (Second Floor), 434 SW 3 Avenue; District 4: Monday, August 19, 2013, 6 p.m., Our Lady of Lebanon Church Community Room, 2055 Coral Way; District 5: Wednesday, August 14, 2013, 6 p.m., Little Haiti Cultural Center, Community Room, 260 NE 59 Terrace. Another two meetings were held solely to address the HOPWA program, which the City operates County -wide. To that end, the two public HOPWA hearings are held at a southernmost and central location that is accessible via public transit. The HOPWA hearings were held as follows: HOPWA-Central — Wednesday, August 14, 2013, 4:30 p.m., The Joseph Caleb Center (Miami -Dade County facility), Room 110, 5400 NW 22 Ave.; HOPWA-South- Wednesday, August 21, 2013, 4:30 p.m., Sembrando Flores, 162 SW 1 Avenue, Homestead.

Using the CHAS data provided by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and supplemented with a literature review, as well as data from the Census and the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, we found two trends emerge that shed light on the housing needs in the City of Miami. The first trend illustrates the changes currently under way in the city that are drastically shifting the demographic landscape and, in turn, the housing needs of the city. The second trend is in regards to the mismatch between the income earned and the cost of housing in the City of Miami. This second trend in particular helps to explain the city's most pertinent housing problem: the sheer number of households that are cost -burdened. Trends TREND 1: Demographic Changes Signal an Increased Need for Housing —especially in certain subsets of the population • City of Miami is experiencing robust population growth that will certainly increase demand for housing options. • The growth of the non -family households in the City of Miami will likely impact the demand for smaller housing units overtime. • The fact that school -aged children were the only cohort to experience a significant decrease in population leads to more questions than answers about the changing housing needs of the city, especially in small related households made up of two to four persons. • The older population's share of the total population in the City has been trending upward and has a greater tendency of being from a household from the lowest income category. TREND 2: A housing cost/income mismatch has led to a significant number of cost -burdened households and the need for more affordable housing options • A staggering 67 percent of the households in the City of Miami earn 80 percent or less than the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI). Consolidated Plan MIAMI 36 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • Almost half of the City of Miami's households are cost -burdened. Projections estimate that the trend will continue through 2030. • The City of Miami is located within one of the top ten Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) with the widest wealth gaps and where residents would need to earn three times the federal poverty line to live a modest lifestyle. • The Miami area has the most cost -burdened middle -income households in the nation due to a combination of very low income and the combined costs of housing and transportation. • The Miami area job market was defined by a hiring slump in 2013 that further aggravates the mismatch between income and cost of living. Housing Problems The trends summarized above coincide with the findings of the analysis of housing problems within the City of Miami required for this report. Based on the CHAS data, housing cost burdened is the most common housing problem in the City of Miami across income, tenure, race and ethnicity. The second most common housing problem in the City of Miami is overcrowded units. Below is a summary of the findings: HOUSING PROBLEM 1: Cost -burdened Households is a serious and common housing problem in the City of Miami. The CHAS data clearly illustrates that cost -burdened households is the greatest housing problem facing the City of Miami. There are a total of 44,055 households in the City of Miami that are severely cost -burdened and 28,370 that are cost -burdened —greatly outpacing the other housing problems significantly. • As one might suspect, the poorest households are the most cost -burdened — An astounding 25,615 of the lowest income bracket (0-30 percent AMI) households spend more than 50 percent of their income on housing. This one group makes up 58 percent of the total severely cost -burdened households. • Renters are most likely to experience housing problems, especially poor households — With regards to sheer numbers, renter households in the City of Miami are more likely to experience housing problems. A staggering portion of the cost -burdened (79 percent) and severely cost - burdened (69 percent) households in the city of Miami are renters. Of these renters, the severely cost -burdened households earning 0-30 percent AMI were the single largest cohort with over 20,000 households to experience any one of the four housing problems analyzed. • Small related households and elderly households are also cost -burdened —With regards to small related households, 45,750 households are cost -burdened or severely cost -burdened. The greatest majority of these households are renters, especially in the low-income categories. While the elderly renter households also experienced high rates of housing problems (36,515 households), this was the only household type with a significant number of homeowners experiencing cost -burden due to housing costs. As to be expected, this was most pronounced in the low income -brackets, most likely due to senior citizens living on fixed income. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 37 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) HOUSING PROBLEM 2: Overcrowded units, especially those that are inhabited by renter households between 0 to 50 percent AMI. However, the CHAS data illustrates that this problem is a distant second with only 7,600 households considered overcrowded or severely overcrowded across incomes and tenure. Despite these low figures, there is evidence that points to a greater number of households living in overcrowded quarters in the city and this is discussed in greater detail in the report. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 38 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-10 Housing Needs Assessment - 24 CFR 91.205 (a,b,c) Summary of Housing Needs This section explores demographic changes and common housing problems within City of Miami households in order to determine the housing needs of our community. Despite the positive gains made over the last decade in both population and improvements to the median household income, it has not been enough to keep up with the cost of living in the Miami area, with these circumstances leading to a staggering number (67 percent) of low -to -moderate income households and a city where nearly half of the households (46 percent) are cost -burdened. Although Hispanic renters (in part due to their large numbers), which comprise the poorest households in the city, are most likely to be cost -burdened, this housing problem permeates throughout the city across income, tenure, race and ethnicity. Using the CHAS data provided by HUD and supplemented with a literature review, along with data from the Census and the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, we found two trends emerge that shed light on the housing needs in the City of Miami: 1) Demographic changes that signal an increased need for housing; and 2) A housing cost/income mismatch which has led to a significant number of cost - burdened households and the need for more affordable housing options. These two trends are explored in greater detail below.

In fact, according to the Census, from 2000 to 2010, 15 percent of the county's growth occurred in the City of Miami when during prior decades, the city only contributed 4 percent or less to the county's growth. In fact, the city's growth has been so recent that 57 percent of the population added to the city since 1970 occurred during the last decade.

According to the latest population estimate from the US Census Bureau's PEP, today the City of Miami's total population is 408,750. The population growth in the year between the decennial census and the latest estimate was just under 9,000 people; this net gain in population in just one year was significantly greater than all the growth during the 1990s decade and very similar in growth to the two previous decades, the 1970s and 1980s. In addition, it should be taken into consideration that the City of Miami is located in the fourth "hardest to count" metropolitan area in the country —meaning that a significant portion of the city may be officially undercounted with at least one in five residents living in a hard -to -count neighborhood.(1) In fact, the City of Miami won a Census Challenge in 2007 that recalculated the city's population estimate from 409,719 to 424,662 and later grew to 433,136 by 2009 before falling again during the decennial census in 2010.(2) The findings from the Census Challenges are supported by a Drilldown study conducted by Social Compact in 2009 that found that the City of Miami had a substantial greater market size than traditional data sources had illustrated.

Although family households still represent a majority, it grew over the past ten years only modestly. On the other hand, non -family households grew at an impressive 34.1 percent during the same time period to now make up 43.1 percent of the total households in Miami. According to the Census, more Americans are living alone than ever before (27.4 percent) and the share of households with children has halved since the 1970s to 20 percent. (1) These same trends are apparent in the City of Miami as well. In particular, the greatest gains in non -family households were among those living alone; the city added 11,810 people (28.9 percent) to this category over the last decade for a total of 33.3 percent —greater than the national trend stated above. Along this same vein, the only household type to lose population was families of married couples with children. In contrast to the region, the loss of this household type was most pronounced in the City of Miami (-6.2 percent) compared to the County (-5.7 percent), and the State of Florida (+1.2 percent).(2) (1) Mahapatra, Lisa.

Among places with a population of 100,000 or more, four of the ten places with the highest percentage of the population 65 years and over were located in Florida. Specifically, the City of Miami was one of these ten places, ranking tenth with a total population of 63,987 (16 percent) persons aged 65 and over.(1) These statistics are important to consider in light that the growth rate of the elderly population is low compared to workforce age residents in the city, but make up a significant share of the city's population compared to other large cities. Furthermore, according to Table 2, a significant portion of the lowest income category is made up of elderly households. Approximately 35 percent of the 62 to 74 population and 46 percent of the over 75 population have an annual income between 0-30 percent of the HUD Area Median Income. (1) Werner, Carrie A.

Interestingly, this decrease in the population of children was parallel to a noteworthy increase in the young workforce age population that has occurred over the same period — especially the 25 to 34 cohort population gains in the city (21.3 percent) were impressive when compared to the county (0.9 percent) and to the state (9.9 percent). This group most likely represents the "small related" household in the CHAS data that demonstrated housing problems relating to cost - burden. The data creates more questions than answers: Is this due to an increase in young childless professionals attracted to the urban core? Are they beginning to start families as indicated by the jump in the under 5 year population? As these children age, will these families remain in the City of Miami? Are families with children in school leaving the city due to the lack of housing choices or are there other reasons associated with the trend? It should also be noted that, according to Table 2, when income is taken into consideration with households with young children six and under --just like the elderly households --there is a disproportionate number in the low to moderate category in the city of Miami.

Summary Fife 1 NA-10.10 NA-10.11 TREND 2: A housing cost/income mismatch has led to a significant number of cost -burdened households and the need for more affordable housing options. A staggering 67 percent of the households in the City of Miami earn 80 percent or less than the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) - According to the CHAS data, there are a total number of 99,515 low to moderate income households in the City of Miami that represent a 67 percent of total households in the city. The most recent Census figures show improved statistics for the city's income by household. According to a comparison between the 2000 Census and the most recent American Community Survey, the city lost a significant share of the households that earned less than $10,000- from 24.2 percent in 2000 to 16.6 percent of the city's total households. Likewise, there were gains in the share of all the income brackets from $35,000 and above. Despite these changes, the same figures illustrate that all the households making below the $35,000 income bracket make up 55.7 percent of the city's households. Therefore, regardless of the income gains made by the city's households, as the CHAS data and the Census data indicate, a significant portion of the city's households earnings make them vulnerable to becoming cost -burdened by rising costs in housing and other cost of living expenses.

Of these 46 percent of cost -burdened households in Miami, about half (24 percent) are severely cost -burdened —meaning these households pay more than half their household income on housing. It is important to note that of the City's cost -burdened households, a significant majority (68 percent) are renters. Shimberg considers these figures as an important need indicator that can serve as an approximation of the total number of households that would benefit from some type of housing assistance that includes the construction of new affordable housing units, but also the provision of subsidies to make current units more affordable. It is also useful for planning purposes to study the projected increase of severely cost -burdened, low-income households over multi -year periods in order to properly mitigate possible future affordable housing shortages. The table below details the projected level of severely cost - burdened households in Miami that earn 80 percent of AMI or less. The income variation in the table helps inform the city on where the needs will be for future targeted housing assistance taking into account that the construction of new units for low-income households means that not all new rent- or price -restricted units will be affordable to all households (for example, a household at 30 percent AMI would still pay more than half of its income for rent in an apartment with rent set for households with incomes of 60 percent AMI). This is important because according to the table, about half of the estimated new severely cost -burdened households in the next years will be renters from the most poverty stricken households in the city.

When considering the most populous U.S. Metropolitan Areas, the Miami MSA ranked second worst in the nation during the 2005-2009 period and eighth worst in 2012.[1] A recent analysis of the 2012 figures combined the Gini Index data with income, poverty and home value data from the Census Bureau and poverty rates estimated by the Brookings Institution. This analysis found that the Miami MSA's income was mostly concentrated among the top -earning households in 2012, with five percent of the households accounting for more than a quarter of all income in the area.[2] In addition, the analysis also found that the MSA's urban core is significantly poorer (28.3 percent) when compared to the suburban areas (16.3 percent). The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) Family Budget Calculator estimates the income a family would need for a secure but modest lifestyle that takes into account community -specific housing costs and other needs such as food, child care, transportation, and health care. On average, families would need more than twice the amount of the federal poverty line; in the Miami MSA families would need to earn three times. For example, according to the calculator, a two -parent, one -child household in the Miami MSA would need to earn $60,404 a year for basic expenses while the federal poverty line for a family of the same size was estimated to be $19,090.[3] EPI's calculated budget for Miami families is also more than $20,000 over the median household income for the City of Miami, which was $30,270 according to the most recent 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey.[4] Consolidated Plan MIAMI 47 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) [1] US Census Bureau.

The report, Losing Ground: The Struggle of Moderate -Income Households to Afford the Rising Costs of Housing and Transportation (2012), found that moderate -income households earning between 50 and 100 percent of the median household income in their area spend an average of 59 percent of their income on housing and transportation.[1] Of the 25 largest metro areas, the report found the cost burdens to be highest in the Miami area, where moderate -income households spend a staggering 72 percent of their income on housing and transportation. It is important to note that, in spite of average housing and transportation expenses in the Miami area — the severe cost burden facing moderate income households is because housing and transportation expenses are so out of sync with the local median income, which is one of the lowest in the nation.[2] [1] Center for Housing Policy and the Center for Neighborhood Technology.

NA-10.20 The Miami area job market was defined by a hiring slump in 2013 that further aggravated the mismatch between income and cost of living - The City of Miami is located within Miami -Dade County, home to about 60 percent of the region's jobs.[3] However, the area is still suffering from a stalled job market in both payroll and the number of new employment opportunities marked by a hiring slump for most of 2013.[4] According to the Miami Herald, the county saw in November 2013 a slowdown in payroll gains compared to the pace set after jobs started growing again in 2009.[5] Furthermore, while Miami -Dade County added 9,000 jobs since October 2012, the gains are anemic for a county that a year ago was creating more than 20,000 new jobs over the prior year.[6] One of the weak spots in the labor market has been construction despite the fact that home values have been on the rise in 2013 and 2014, and buyers are once again purchasing homes.[7] For those that are able to find jobs, earnings are down or flat —especially for minority workers. Florida has the second largest total number of workers with earnings at or below the federal minimum in the U.S.[8] These workers in Florida saw their wages fall behind the cost of living for the past decade, with the median hourly wage down 4.3 percent since 2000, according to a Florida International University (FIU) study, "The State of Working Florida 2013." Another finding from the FIU study was that black workers were three times more likely to earn less than white workers, while Hispanic workers were two times as likely to earn less than white workers.[9] [3][5] Hanks, Douglas.

Based on the January 24, 2013 Point in Time (PIT) Count filed with U.S. HUD by the CoC (FL-600 Miami/Dade County) which is cited elsewhere in this CP, there were 479 single persons who were unsheltered homeless on that date within City of Miami limits. We do not have data on the sheltered persons on that date. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. Based on the January 24, 2013 Point in Time (PIT) Count filed with U.S. HUD by the CoC (FL- 600 Miami/Dade County), there were 459 sheltered persons who were victims of domestic violence and 45 unsheltered homeless who were victims of domestic violence in Miami -Dade County, which accounts for 13.2% of the total homeless population on that date. There is no available analysis on how many persons in this subpopulation were located within City of Miami boundaries. What are the most common housing problems? Based on the data collected for this report, housing cost burdened is the most common housing problem in the City of Miami across income, tenure, race and ethnicity. The second most common housing problem in the City of Miami is overcrowded units, especially those that are inhabited by renter households between 0 to 50 percent AMI. Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems? As one might suspect, the poorest households are the most cost -burdened An astounding 25,615 of the lowest income bracket (0-30 percent AMI) households spend more than 50 percent of their income on housing. This one group makes up 58 percent of the total severely cost -burdened households. In Consolidated Plan MIAMI 56 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) fact, when seen together, the majority of the severely cost -burdened come from the two poorest income brackets: 0-30 percent and 30-50 percent AMI. Renters are most likely to experience housing problems, especially poor households With regards to sheer numbers, CHAS Table 3 illustrates that renter households in the City of Miami are more likely to experience housing problems. A staggering portion of the cost -burdened (79 percent) and severely cost - burdened (69 percent) households in the city of Miami are renters. Of these renters, the severely cost - burdened households earning 0-30 percent AMI were the single largest cohort with over 20,000 households to experience any one of the four housing problems analyzed. However, it is worthy to note that while renters are significantly greater in numbers, when analyzing the figures within each universe of income bracket and tenure, a pattern emerges that shows that housing problems are more likely within households that own their house. Although this homeowner trend is greatly overshadowed by the sheer number of renters with housing problems, it is important to understand the trends within each type of household in order to better understand their specific housing needs. With regards to small related households, 45,750 households are cost -burdened or severely cost - burdened. The greatest majority of these households are renters, especially in the low-income categories. While the elderly renter households also experienced high rates of housing problems (36,515 households), this was the only household type with a significant number of homeowners experiencing cost -burden due to housing costs. As to be expected, this was most pronounced in the low income - brackets, most likely due to senior citizens living on fixed income. Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance The following are the characteristics of households served, under either prevention or rapid re -housing. Under HPRP funding, low-income households above 30% AMI were eligible for assistance. This accounted for approximately 20% of households served under HPRP which ended June 30, 2012. Under the new ESG funding, eligibility is limited to households at or below 30% AMI. So, 100% are extremely low income (ELI). Households who are not within ELI are not able to be served through these funds but continue to be at risk: 16% of households had no income upon entering the program; 26% had income from Social Security Disability (SSI); and, 33% had earned income. The majority of households were non - Hispanic, 29% white, and 71% Black or African -American. Only 1% were veterans, although this has been as high as 5% in previous years. Overall, when we took a three year look back at the prevention and rapid re -housing program, data is indicating that approximately 90% of clients remain successfully housed. The majority of imminent risk households had a pending eviction in court or were already doubling up as a result of an eviction court order. A portion of households were also individuals who aged out of foster care, but their assistance was paid through other sources. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 57 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Due to limitations in ESG funding, the households eligible for Rapid Re -Housing were limited to persons at or below 30% AMI. The length of time of assistance was also limited due to the decrease in funding. While a majority of households served have been able to become stable and self-sufficient within a 6 month assistance period, there is a subset of households that need longer assistance due to continued unemployment or lack of sufficient affordable housing in the area, in particular for persons who are disabled. Households with disabilities (on SSI income), for the most part, need longer term assistance such as an ongoing rental and utility subsidy. Attempts are made to use ESG funds as a gap while they wait for additional assistance, but it is not always available. If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at -risk group and the methodology used to generate the estimates: The estimates for the "at risk" are aggregated from the Miami Dade County Continuum of Care (CoC) issued by the Miami Dade Homeless Trust. Specifically, the data is sourced from households served under the Homelessness Prevention component of the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re -Housing Program (HPRP). Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness As shown throughout the report, there are large numbers of households in the City of Miami paying more than half of their gross monthly income for housing costs. Furthermore, this report also discusses how the cost of living expenses like transportation and healthcare further burdens the city's households, compounded by flat wages and a persistent hiring slump which has left many households vulnerable to eviction and homelessness if their income is suddenly reduced for any reason (e.g., job loss, cut in work hours or government benefits), they encounter an unexpected expense (e.g., medical emergency, major car repair), or experience serious illness and cannot work. Discussion Over all homeless figures have dropped, except for an uptick of homeless families most likely due to increasing cost of housing and flat wages - According to the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust, the number of people on the streets has declined from 2,490 in October 1998 to 848 in August 2013 --of which currently 350 are estimated to live in the City of Miami.[1] Housing resources increased during the late 1990s, partially funded by a one percent food and beverage tax, is directly attributed to a decline in the city's homeless population.[2] The shrinking number of homeless appears to be a national trend illustrated by the National Alliance to End Homelessness' (NAEH) report on the State of Homelessness in America (2013) which found that national homeless figures have declined in all subpopulations with the exception of persons in families.[3] The trend appears to be occurring in Miami as well, in that the Point Consolidated Plan MIAMI 58 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) In Time (PIT) estimates show that the only homeless population to increase since the last Consolidated Plan was the number of persons in families with children; according to the PIT estimates, the number of families in shelters totaled 1,227 in 2008 and account for 1,317 as of 2013.[4] According to NAEH, the homelessness in this subpopulation is being driven by the inability of some families to pay for housing, a problem that is "mushrooming" due to increasing rents and flat income.[5] [1][2] Marr, Mathew.

Consolidated Plan MIAMI 59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems — 91.205 (b)(2) Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a whole. Introduction According to HUD's eCon Planning Suite desk guide, a disproportionately greater need exists when the members of a racial or ethnic group at an income level experience housing problems at a greater rate (10 percent or more) than the income level as a whole. However, the City of Miami's designation since the 1970s as a "majority minority" municipality[1] adds a layer of complexity when analyzing the data for this section. The city's Hispanic community makes up 70 percent of the city, thereby skewing the analysis of disproportionately greater need. In addition, there are many Black communities that are traditionally underserved and with documented housing problems that are outnumbered when taking into consideration only "majority" populations. As such, issues of residential segregation are important to take into consideration when identifying a racial group that has a disproportionately greater need in housing. Taking these issues into consideration, it is important to discuss the racial and ethnic landscape of the city. Miami has a unique context for this discussion because it is among the nation's largest cities with a large share of non -white population. The growth in the minority population in the City of Miami is largely due to the increase in Hispanic and Latino populations. As such, the "majority minority" designation does not mean that Miami has become more racially diverse; rather it has become increasingly a city of immigrants from the Caribbean and Latin America. This is evident by the Census figures that demonstrate that the White and Black Non -Hispanic populations have declined in absolute numbers since the 1970s; whereas the Hispanic population has experienced steady growth. In 2010, the Census found that this trend continues in part today. The Hispanic population over the past decade outpaced the growth rate of the city as a whole; the city's population grew by 10.2 percent, while the Hispanic population grew by 17.2 percent to now make up 70 percent of the city's population. Different from past decades, the White Non -Hispanic population experienced growth, adding over 11,000 people to the city to now make up 11.9 percent of the population. This is important because the only group to continue to lose population is the Black community. According to a comparison of the 2000 and 2010 Census, the Black population in the City of Miami fell by almost 4,000 people to now make up 19.2 percent of the population. In addition to the changes described above, there is one other aspect to the racial and ethnic composition of the city that bears noting. Due to changes in the Census survey in 2000, race and ethnicity are two different categories. Since the Hispanic population in the City of Miami is significantly large and can additionally select a race in the census survey, the traditional racial categories become skewed. For example, the 2010 Census found that there is a White population of 289,920 (72.6); however, 84 percent of that White population is Hispanic. To a much smaller degree, there is also a portion of the Black population that is Hispanic —approximately 15 percent.

According to CHAS, 74 percent of the city's households with one or more problems are Hispanic, with the single largest AMI category being those households earning between 0 and 30 percent of the median income. However, if the city were to solely base the analysis of "disproportionately greater need" on the definition provided by HUD's eCon Planning Suite desk guide (where members of a racial or ethnic group at an income level experience housing problems at a greater rate of 10 percent or more than the income level as a whole), these same CHAS tables would find two groups that would qualify: 1) the small Asian population earning 0-30 percent AMI; and 2) The Black Consolidated Plan MIAMI 64 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) population earning 0-30 percent AMI . Most notable is the Black 0-30 AMI population that makes up 49 percent of the total Black population in the city with one or more housing problem. These findings have to be taken with a grain of salt because the concept of disproportionate need as currently defined may not be fully applicable to our city. Hispanics are not really a "minority" in the City of Miami given that they are 70 percent of the population and the overall high level of needs experienced by low-income Hispanic households drives up the averages, but at the same time are not 10 percent higher than the average.

When considering the HUD definition for "disproportionately greater need" (where members of a racial or ethnic group at an income level experience housing problems at a greater rate of 10 percent or more than the income level as a whole), again the city's Black population stands out with 61 percent of their households with 0-30 percent of AMI have one or more housing problems. The only other group that qualifies under this definition would be the White population of households earning 50-80 percent of AMI. In terms of share of the total population of households, the Hispanic population makes up roughly three quarters of all the three lowest income categories with the only exception being a decrease (yet still significant majority with 62 percent) in the 80-100 percent AMI bracket. The fluctuations of households with a housing problem are more evident in the remaining third of the city. The percentage of White households experiencing a housing problem actually increases the wealthier the income bracket. This trend may be explained by the cost -burden due to housing costs being experienced by all races and income categories as discussed in previous sections. It is interesting to note that the reverse pattern occurs with the Black households whose share of households with a housing problem decreases as income climbs. Perhaps this trend is explained simply by noting the number of households that decline, as wealth (income brackets) increases. An analysis of each racial and ethnicity group by AMI independently of each other reveals that more than 70 percent of every group is experiencing one or more housing problems at the lowest income bracket (0-30 AMI). This is a significant finding, considering that the groups hold relatively steady in all the other income brackets.

When examining the CHAS data for the greatest share of cost -burdened households, based on racial or ethnic groups, a similar trend emerges as in the previous sections. According to CHAS Table 17, the Hispanic community presents the greatest share and number of cost -burdened households in the city across all income brackets —but especially in sheer numbers in the 0-30 percent AMI cohort. However, when taking the HUD definition into consideration, only two household type emerges: Asian and White households in the 0-30 percent AMI bracket. In addition, the CHAS data also provides the number of households whose income is zero or negative due to self-employment, dividends, and net rental income. These households are not included in the other two categories because households with zero or negative income cannot actually have a cost burden. However, because they still require housing assistance, this category is counted separately. According to the CHAS data provided for the City of Miami, there are a total of 3,395 households that fall within the negative/no income category. The greatest share of these households are Hispanic (51 percent) and Black (29 percent). Consolidated Plan MIAMI 73 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion — 91.205(b)(2) Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category as a whole? In utilizing the HUD definition for "disproportionately greater need", the Analysis of the disproportionately greater need section in this report demonstrated that African American Households in the City of Miami earning between 0-30 percent AMI, as well as White and Asian households earning between 50-80 percent AMI, stood out for both having one or more housing problems. Other household populations that qualified under this definition are the 0-30 percent AMI Asian and White with a significant percentage of cost -burdened households. Also, as discussed previously, because the City of Miami is a 'majority -minority' city, the results of the analysis for disproportionately greater need may be misleading. In terms of real numbers, the reality is that far more Hispanic households experience housing problems than any other group. Specifically, Hispanic households as a group are usually four times the number of other types of households listed in the tables across housing needs categories. In terms of share within each income category, again the Hispanic households represent the largest share (approximately from 60 to 75 percent) across the AMI brackets. Specifically, the CHAS Table 17 clearly illustrates that there is a disproportionate greater need in the Hispanic 0-30 percent AMI category. The 42,095 households represented in this category is the largest single racial/ethnic group across all AMI brackets; the closest second group are the 32,500 Hispanic households in the >50 percent AMI category. With that said, it bears worth repeating that Hispanics make up 70 percent of the City of Miami population and are expected to be heavily represented across the AMI categories. In addition, it is also important to note that the figures in the CHAS tables do not take into consideration that the City of Miami is a racially/ethnically segregated community (explored more in detail below) in which disproportionately greater need can be geographically concentrated in traditionally underserved areas where Black residents reside, such as Overtown, Liberty City and Little Haiti. If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs? N/A Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community? Included in the appendix of this report are a variety of maps and tables that illustrate how demographic patterns of income, race, and ethnicity reveal great disparity and insular racial and ethnic enclaves. The Black population is clustered north of downtown and the Hispanic population is concentrated in the Southern and Western portions of the City. This polarization creates challenges for the City in trying to integrate distressed communities into the broader economy. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 74 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The degree of this polarization can be measured with a dissimilarity index to ascertain differences in residential patterns of one ethnic/racial group in relation to another. Specifically, the index measures how one particular group is distributed across census tracts in the city in comparison to another group. The index has a possible score between zero to 100, a high value indicates that the two groups tend to live in different tracts. As a point of reference, a value of 60 (or above) is considered very high and means that 60 percent (or more) of the members of one group would need to move to a different tract in order for the two groups to be equally distributed.[1] Values of 40 or 50 are usually considered a moderate level of segregation, and values of 30 or below are considered to be fairly low.[2] According to Brown University, the dissimilarity index of the City of Miami from 1980 to 2010 confirms that the city's racial groups are significantly segregated. According to the data from Brown University's US2010 dissimilarity index, it is worthy to note that Miami's Black community consistently rates very high in dissimilarity with all of the other groups and this trend is reflected across decades. In fact, it is the only group to consistently score a value above 60. In 2010, the Black/White (75.5), Black/Hispanic (77.2), and Black/Asian (76.9) values clearly demonstrates that the city's Black community is the most concentrated racial category. Review of the city maps by income reveal that these segregated communities are also where much of the city's low-income residents are concentrated validating in part the results of this chapter in that there may be a disproportionately greater need to address housing problems in Miami's Black neighborhoods. The isolation index is another useful tool to measure segregation by exploring the level of concentration of any one group in a neighborhood. The Index determines a percentage of same -group population in the census tract where the average member of a racial/ethnic group lives with the a lower bound of zero signaling that a very small group that is quite dispersed to 100 meaning that group members are entirely isolated from other groups.[3] It should be kept in mind that this index is affected by the size of the group -- it is almost inevitably smaller for smaller groups, and it is likely to rise over time if the group becomes larger. According to the data from Brown University's US2010 isolation index, Hispanics and Blacks are more likely to live in isolation. The minor adjustments in the increase in isolation (Hispanics) and the decrease in isolation (Blacks) must be taken with a grain of salt due to changes in the overall population of these groups that may be impacting these trends. Generally speaking, however, it is clear that the Black and Hispanic population within the city have traditionally lived in enclaves and that the trend shows very little chance of changing in the near -term.

Consolidated Plan MIAMI 75 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-35 Public Housing — 91.205(b) Introduction Public Housing (PH) in our area is operated and managed by another jurisdiction, specifically the Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) Department of Miami -Dade County. Data indicates that this is the ninth largest public housing authority in the U.S. In its most recent PHA Five -Year and Annual Plan (FY), PHCD indicated that it has 9,189 public housing units in the entire County. Upon further analysis, data indicates that @ 6,800 of these units are located within City limits at 65 different sites (please see table). When looking at the age of these sites, more than half (35) were built on or before 1973 making them at least 40 years old. Given the age of the PH stock within our jurisdiction, the City supports the implementation of the PHCD's FY 2011-16 Capital Fund 5-Year Action Plan to renovate or modernize public housing units so that occupancy is maximized and current public housing stock is preserved, especially given the demand for these units. During an application cycle that ran from July 7-31, 2008, PHCD received 71,376 applications for the waitlist for its for its project -based (Public Housing and Moderate Rehabilitation), Assisted Living Facilities, and tenant -based (Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher) programs. Additionally, at least 40% of new admissions to Public Housing must be extremely low-income (30% of area median income or below);the remaining 60% of new admissions can be up to the low-income level (80% of the area median income). Meanwhile, the City of Miami operates both a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program of 136 vouchers and a Moderate Rehabilitation program of 280 units set within 16 privately owned buildings and offering efficiencies, one -bedroom and two -bedroom units. The HCV waiting list opened on May 16 and 17, 2007, and approximately 9,500 persons/families applied within that period, and given the small size of the program a waitlist of 70 persons was randomly sorted (via computer). In this waitlist, a special preference was established for persons who were elderly or disabled. Of the 70 persons on the waitlist, 28 identified that preference. The City's Moderate Rehabilitation program opened its waitlist in December 2003 and established a waitlist of approximately 20,000 persons. The City is still working through that wailist. Note: The default data shown in the graphic below and titled "Totals in Use" reflects combined counts for both Miami -Dade County and the City of Miami. Both Housing Authorities were included in this Consolidated Plan, in order to accurately address Public Housing stock in our jurisdiction. Also, the City does not have any special purpose vouchers, so those noted in the tables are all managed by Miami -Dade County.

As cited from their most recent Consolidated Plan, PHCD will fully comply with HUD Notice PIH 2002-01 (HA) [Accessibility Notice: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Fair Housing Act of 1988] when requests are made for a reasonable accommodation due to a disability. An applicant or participant must qualify under the following Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) definition of disability: a physical or mental impairment that limits an individual's ability to participate in major life activities; a record of such impairment; or, being regarded as having such an impairment. Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders As indicated in the available data, the poverty levels amongst residents of assisted housing suggest a need for both traditional assistance programs to help clients avoid hunger and to meet basic healthcare needs, as well as initiatives to help them to expand access to job training programs, build assets, increase earnings, and make progress toward economic self-sufficiency. As households experience an increase in income, they are able to move up and out of assisted housing, thereby freeing up vacated units for other households in need of these units. How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large The need for affordable rental housing is demonstrated by PHCD's current waiting list for assisted housing. In general, PHCD's resident population is reflective of the population of the County as a whole, whereby both seniors and the disabled are represented proportionately to the region's population. Discussion In the last waitlists established for the City of Miami's Section 8 programs, specific information on race and ethnicity was NOT requested in the application itself. As such, the City cannot provide certain demographic information on said waitlists at this time. The City has noted HUD's expectations as to identifying particular characteristics of Section 8 applicants, and will request this type of data (ethnicity, race, etc.) in future waitlists. In May 2013, it was announced that Miami-Dade's PHCD Department will receive $327,024 to assist 45 homeless veterans via the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) program. These numbers are not yet reflected in this document. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 83 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c) Introduction: The P-I-T census of January 24, 2013 of the Miami -Dade County CoC indicated that there were a total of 2,963 sheltered homeless persons and 839 unsheltered homeless persons for a total of 3,802 persons. This means that approximately 22% of the homeless population that evening was unsheltered. The Jan. 2013 PIT total number dropped slightly from Jan. 2012's total homeless count, which amounted to 3,954 persons, of which 3,086 persons were sheltered and 868 persons were unsheltered, approximately 22% of the total homeless that evening. Although today's average homeless census is significantly lower than in years past — December 2003 logged a total of 7,627 homeless persons in the CoC -- the change from 2012 to 2013 was slight and amounted to a 4% decline in the total number of homeless in the continuum. It is important to note that other variables are at play in Miami -Dade County's economy which could contribute to this, such as high unemployment rates, high foreclosure rates, a scarcity of jobs, and higher rental rates. We will first take a County -wide look at the Jan. 2013 PIT data to better understand the needs of the community at large. When looking at the homeless sub -populations in their totality (sheltered and unsheltered) the numbers are telling: 618 persons were considered chronically homeless (16.25%); there were a total of 253 veterans (6.7%); 767 persons (20.2%) were severely mentally ill; 791 persons (20.8%) had chronic substance abuse issues; 113 persons had HIV/AIDS (3%); and, 500 persons were victims of domestic violence (13.2%). These numbers reveal that over 50% of the CoC's homeless population has underlying issues — outside of homelessness — which require long-term support services and resources. The latter is concerning given that funding is limited, and the bulk of the funding available in the CoC is directed towards getting the homeless housed. In 2012, the Miami -Dade County CoC's federal award for homeless projects/activities was approximately $31.8 million. The bulk of this funding ($20.45 million) went to permanent supportive housing, approximately $6.5 million went to transitional housing, and around $3.8 million went to supportive services only. As of early 2013, the Trust identified the unmet year-round beds/units needs of the CoC as follows: 1932 permanent supportive housing units, 457 transitional housing units, and 152 emergency shelter units (year-round beds).

The resident population in the downtown study area totaled 65,696 persons, based on the 2010 U.S. Decennial Census. As shown above, total population in the Downtown Miami Area increased by approximately 26,600 people during the ten year period from 2000 to 2010 for a 68% gain. Growth during the past decade represented an average annual increase of approximately 2,600 persons and 1,600 households per year. The downtown area population as of June 30, 2011 is estimated to be approximately 71,600, based on occupancy surveys, residential sales and leasing trends since the Census in 2010. Approximately 2,600 households moved into new residential units in the downtown area from February through December 2010, based on the `Residential Closings and Occupancy Study' prepared for the Miami DDA and published in February 2011. The annual rate of population growth in the downtown area based on residential sales and leasing activity during the first six months of 2011 climbed to nearly 4,400 persons with a corresponding increase in the number of households set to reach about 2,400 households per year.

L<ayas n k kiteather Conditions: Clear, hi4h in the Low 60's Page 0 StreetPopDetailsPage4 Miami - A Snapshot of the Unsheltered In the January 2013 PIT, approximately 61% (511 persons) of the unsheltered were located within City of Miami limits. Sixty-nine percent (351 persons) of the City's unsheltered was located in Downtown Miami. Historically, a large amount of the County's unsheltered homeless population has congregated in the City's downtown area. First, the area is home to the largest public hospital (Jackson Memorial Hospital) in the Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MIAMI 94 County, the Federal Detention Center is located here at the corner of NE 4th Street and North Miami Avenue, and over a dozen service facilities that cater to the homeless population are here, as well. Please see attached map issued by the Downtown Development Authority. Downtown Miami also offers multiple public transit options and religious groups frequently visit this area to extend free street feedings to the unsheltered homeless, even though the latter is strongly discouraged by the Homeless Trust. For decades, Downtown Miami was primarily a commercial downtown, with a small residential population. However, Downtown Miami has changed significantly in the past decade and all signs point to further change in the next. As issued by the Downtown Development Authority in 2011, The Population & Demographic Profile Report: Downtown Development Authority District and Adjacent Areas of Influence indicates that the population of the Greater Downtown Miami area hovered at just under 66,000 people in 2011, a 68% population increase in the same area since the 2000 Census. As noted in the same report, a sizable residential condominium boom has changed the area's demographics dramatically, with the number of housing units in the Greater Downtown area increased by 100%, with nearly 26,000 units constructed since the year 2000. This boom in the area's residential population seems to have coincided with a hike in the number of unsheltered homeless persons who stay in downtown Miami. While the second 2013 PIT count (August 29) showed an overall County drop in the number of unsheltered homeless persons (848), the number of unsheltered persons within City of Miami limits increased to 582, accounting for 69% of the total unsheltered in all of Miami -Dade County. Yet again, the bulk of Miami's unsheltered were counted in Downtown Miami (391 persons). These hard facts are of concern to the DDA and to the City of Miami Commission, especially because it is believed that the bulk of these unsheltered homeless are "chronically" homeless as defined by HUD, and often refuse to enter a shelter and/or the Continuum of Care. Much local discussion has taken place on how to best address the chronically homeless population. Indicate if the homeless population is: Has No Rural Homeless If data is not available for the categories "number of persons becoming and exiting homelessness each year," and "number of days that persons experience homelessness," describe these categories for each homeless population type (including chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth): Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MIAMI 95 The numbers are noted in the chart above.

We have not received this data and so cannot include it here. Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance for families with children and the families of veterans. As indicated in the chart above, based on estimates provided by the Housing Trust, approximately 3,276 persons in households with adults and children will experience homelessness each year averaging 97 days of homelessness. Some 38 persons in households with only children will experience homelessness, averaging 62 days of homelessness. Data indicates that 173 veterans will experience homelessness each year, averaging 91 days of homelessness. These numbers were provided based on the 2012 calendar year by the Homeless Trust. Describe the Nature and Extent of Homelessness by Racial and Ethnic Group. The Sheltered — pending demographic info here — HMIS report Jan. 24, 2013 of sheltered population. The Unsheltered -- When looking into the unsheltered population of Miami -Dade County, roughly 81% is comprised of males, the predominant ethnicities are African -Americans (42%) followed by Hispanics (29%). As to race, 406 persons were black, 357 were white, and 76 could not be properly identified (were sleeping, covered, etc.). Describe the Nature and Extent of Unsheltered and Sheltered Homelessness. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 97 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The Unsheltered - Approximately 22% of the homeless population was unsheltered at the time of the Jan. 2013 PIT count with the bulk counted as single persons (95%). More than half (55%) of the unsheltered population have an estimated age of 45-54 or 55-61. The Sheltered — pending demographic info here — HMIS report Jan. 24, 2013 of sheltered population. As indicated in the chart, all households with children were sheltered as is the policy of the CoC. At this time the data available indicates that roughly 32% (199 persons)of the chronically homeless were sheltered; 74% (568 persons) of the severely mentally ill were sheltered; 76% (193 persons) of the veterans were sheltered; 92% (459) of the victims of domestic violence were sheltered; and 79% of homeless persons with HIV/AIDS were sheltered. Discussion: As briefly addressed above, there has been a spike in resident and business complaints regarding public health and safety issues related to the unsheltered homeless in Downtown Miami and City leaders are attempting to address these concerns. To that end, several recent developments bare mention. In October of 2013, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) voted to contribute $25,000 to an existent countywide (CoC) study to determine who exactly the unsheltered homeless are, and why some are resistant to seeking shelter. The study will be handled by several entities with experience working with this community, including the Miami Coalition for the Homeless and Barry University students. The DDA hopes that hard data can help its efforts in seeking additional assistance from the State of Florida to address the unsheltered homeless in the Downtown Miami area. Concurrently, the DDA and City of Miami had been seeking legal modifications to a settlement agreement known as the case of Michael Pottinger, et al. vs. the City of Miami which commenced in 1988 and settled in 1998 with a consent decree that granted certain additional rights to the homeless and protected their property. In January 2014, press reports indicated that a compromise was drawn up subject to the approval of the City Commission and the Court. Should this modification be approved as required by law, then certain activities would no longer be considered legal, e.g., the homeless would no longer be permitted to build fires in parks or to build makeshift tents for sleeping. Plus, it also lays out a procedure for law enforcement or community outreach workers to offer shelter — if available — to a homeless person. In Jan. 2014, the City Commission approved allocating approximately $240,000 from the City's FY12-13 budget to Camillus House, to provide 100 mats exclusively designated for the City's homeless in the Camillus pavilion for the nightly use of homeless individuals, along with meals, showers, restrooms, etc. In December 2013, the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust issued a draft update to the Miami -Dade Community Homeless Plan, titled Priority Home, to the Miami -Dade County Community Homeless Plan. This draft was compiled based on meetings and discussions of the Homeless Trust Board and the Trust's Committees, and their consideration of additional strategies to further align local CoC activities with the expected approaches related to compliance with the federal Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Consolidated Plan MIAMI 98 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Transition to Housing (HEARTH) Act of 2009. As part of this effort, the Trust will redirecting its outreach to focus on an individual's vulnerability and in late 2013, it set aside an additional 250 beds in its facilities for the chronically homeless. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 99 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-45 Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d) Introduction: This section is meant to describe the specific housing needs of certain population groups that are not homeless but require supportive housing. The groups to be addressed in this assessment include: • Elderly Persons (defined as 62 years and older); • Persons with mental, physical, and/or developmental disabilities; • Persons with Alcohol or other Drug Addiction; • Persons with HIV/AIDS and their families; • Victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking The housing needs of each one of these groups differ enormously. Some of them have characteristics that make it very hard to gather the most basic information about them. Even though there are many agencies and groups involved in improving the quality of information available for some of these groups, it is still difficult to produce precise numbers and to forecast with certainty what their needs will be in the future. As such, in most instances we are utilizing and citing the most readily available data from state sources as certain other state/community entities service these specific groups and as such, can better address their needs. In most cases where state information is utilized, please note that the data is typically County -specific, which in our case correlates to Miami -Dade County whose boundaries extend outside those of the City of Miami. Because we are also a HOPWA administrator, we will begin our assessment with a careful look at this population first. Persons with HIV/AIDS and their families The City of Miami (City) serves as the administrator of the formula grant -funded Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) program for the entire geographical area of Miami -Dade County given that pursuant to federal regulations implementing the AIDS Housing Opportunity Act of 1990, the City is the municipality with the largest population in the Miami -Dade Eligible Metropolitan Division (EMD). The HOPWA Program serves all residents of Miami -Dade County and is administered by the City of Miami's Department of Community & Economic Development. The City works with all levels of government, service providers, consumers and the private sector in developing housing and housing - related support services for persons living with HIV/AIDS (PWAs) in the MSA. The Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership, through its Housing Committee, serves in an advisory capacity to the Department of Community Development and City Commission with regard to HOPWA formula grant funds awarded to the City on behalf of the Miami -Dade Eligible Metropolitan Division (EMD).

Elderly — A January 2012, survey conducted by the Florida Department of Elder Affairs (PSA 11, Area Plan on Aging Program Module for the Period January 1, 2013-December 31, 2015, Alliance for Aging, Inc., November2012) found that twenty-five percent (25%) of elder respondents in Miami -Dade reported problems with their home or neighborhood. One in five (21%) reported having difficulty with home finances, and the greatest concern reported by respondents was that it was hard to pay their rent/mortgage. The majority (83%) of respondents indicated they planned on continuing to live in their current home over the next five to ten years. While most respondents (75%) reported high confidence that they would be able to remain in their homes without having to make any significant modifications, over half (55%) identified concerns related to doing just that, including home upkeep and repair, including: upkeep and minor repair (25%); major repairs (17%); roofing and plumbing (13%); and accessibility issues (8%). Nearly one-third of survey respondents indicated a need or desire to move Consolidated Plan MIAMI 111 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) from their current residence. Of those who wish to move, 27% said they would prefer to live in a more centrally located area, while 17% said they preferred to live in assisted living. Respondents who wanted to move but could not gave the following reasons: devalued property (22%); lack of information about available options (18%); lack of money or help with moving (13%); emotional attachment to current residence (9%); lack of preferred/affordable housing (9%); packing and moving is too overwhelming (9%); health issues (4%); and other reasons (16%). Many respondents (42%) had unfavorable opinions of living options for older persons in Miami -Dade, because available housing options are unaffordable (16%); the current market does not allow them to sell their home (19%); or, they can't afford moving costs (15%). The desire to move is sometimes motivated by conditions in the neighborhood. As part of its planning process, the Alliance gathers information from staff and tracks calls to the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC).When asked to prioritize which additional housing resources are needed for people age 60 and over, Alliance staff and volunteers identified these in the chart included in this section. Housing Supportive Service Needs, part 2 Persons with Disabilities — The City and DCED fund different programs to assist persons with disabilities, but it is not directly involved in the identification of the housing and supportive service needs of this sub -population, and looks to the state for the delineation of the latter. On a State level, the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (APD) is became a separate agency from the Department of Children and Families in October 2004, specifically tasked with serving the needs of Floridians with developmental disabilities. It serves more than 50,000 Floridians with disabilities includes: autism, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, intellectual disabilities, and down syndrome. The APD works in partnership with local communities and private providers to assist people who have developmental disabilities and their families. APD also provides assistance in identifying the needs of people with developmental disabilities for supports and services. In the APD's recent report to the Florida Legislature it identified the following needs (Long Range Program Plan): 1. Increase employment for individuals with developmental disabilities; 2.increase client access to community -based services, treatment and residential options; 3.improve management and oversight of Agency and provider services and 4. Manage agency within fiscal allocation. Locally, a division of the City of Miami's Parks and Recreation Department -- the Sandra DeLucca Developmental Center (4560 NW 4 Terrace) -- has been delivering recreational, leisure and daily living skills programs for children and adults with a variety of disabilities since 1973. Based on space and funding, programs are available for participation by all persons with disabilities within the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County. All of the programs provided via the Center are unique in the scope of service they provide to this special population. Through registered programs, the Center serves 260 persons with developmental and physical disabilities (i.e., we have 2 wheel chair sports programs Hand cycling and Tennis). Through its various themed special events open to the community, they welcome more than 600 individuals annually. The mission of the Sandra DeLucca Developmental Center is to provide Consolidated Plan M IAM I 112 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) persons with intellectual and physical challenges, equal access to community -based recreational, leisure, and cultural activities and to enhance their quality of life and inspire confidence, self-esteem and foster independence. Among the programs available are: Adult Day Training (A.D.T.) Program; G.E.T. F.I.T. (Getting Exercise Through Friendship, Involvement and Training) Program and summer camps; MAGIC (Miami's Accessible Guide to Inclusion in Our Community); and, Project SEARCH Miami. Housing y Supp. Service Needs, part III Victims of Domestic Violence —The City and DCED are not directly involved in the assessment of housing and service needs for this population. For purposes of this CP, we looked for data compiled on a state-wide level. The most recent resource we could locate addressing these needs was the Florida Domestic Violence Needs Assessment for 2006-2007, issued by the Institute for Family Violence Studies, College of Social Work of Florida State University (http://http://www.myflfamilies.com/service- programs/domestic-violence/reports-publications).The assessment was compiled based on a survey issued to 1,000 professionals across the State of Florida working with persons who have experienced domestic violence. Exactly 362 surveys were returned (36% return). The top unmet needs (aggregate) were housing (20.4%), mental health services (13.3%), beds/access to shelter (11.4%) and dental services (11.4%). Housing Supp. Service Needs, part 4 Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Addiction —The City and DCED does not fund or operate any substance abuse programs. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health (SAMH) Program, which is part of the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), is recognized as the state authority for substance abuse and mental health services. The program is responsible for the oversight of a statewide system of care for the prevention, treatment, and recovery of children and adults with serious mental illnesses or substance abuse disorders. For purposes of this CP, we will focus on data related to persons dealing with substance abuse/drug addictions. SAMH programs provide a range of prevention, acute interventions (i.e., crisis stabilization or detoxification), residential, transitional housing, outpatient treatment, and recovery support services. SAMH programs are also responsible for substance abuse provider licensure, regulation, financing, and contracting which play a significant role in the provision of effective substance abuse and mental health services. Florida's SAMH Program has statutory responsibility for the planning and administration of all publicly -funded substance abuse and mental health services. Each office also serves as the main contact for the United States Department of Health and Human Services on all issues pertaining to substance abuse and mental health. The Southern Region's SAMH Program Office contracts with South Florida Behavioral Health Network (SFBHN) to manage the SAMH system of care in Monroe and Miami -Dade Counties. The contract requires SFBHN as the Managing Entity to subcontract with qualified, direct service, community -based network agencies that provide services for adults and children with behavioral health issues. Miami -Dade County is the most populous county in Florida, which is an urban Consolidated Plan M IAM I 113 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) area that services the highest volume of consumers of any county in the State of Florida. According to The Florida Department of Children and families Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Plan, 2014-2016 (pages 55-56), some of the needs and challenges of this population in the Southern region (Miami -Dade County and Monroe) are as follows: • The SAMH funded system has emphasized evidence -based practices (EBPs) in a Trauma - Informed consumer -driven, culturally responsive system of care. In the public system, we are partnering with Medicaid to further the reimbursement of EBPs, allow for the provision of Peer Specialist services to Medicaid recipients, and to support the system of care principles and values. • The efficiency of the SAMH system would be greatly enhanced if there is more consistency among Medicaid managed care companies and thus reduction of administrative costs. • Affordable housing is not available to consumers with substance abuse and mental health disorders who have low income and do not meet criteria for homeless housing funds. • more wrap -around services are needed (i.e., case management, therapy, and support groups) for consumers residing in Assisted Living Facilities with Limited Mental Health Licenses that are not associated with Community Mental Health Centers. • More education and specific targeted programs are needed for returning veterans and coordination through the Veteran's Task Force. • In order to expand child welfare substance abuse and mental health integration, there is a need to expand SAMH treatment for parents of individuals who are actively using substances and may have a mental health diagnosis. This will help keep families together during treatment under the umbrella of SAMH providers. • Consumers and stakeholders have identified a lack of and affordable transportation as a need to access community services. This need is imperative for both Miami -Dade and Monroe County. Housing and Supp. Service Needs, part 5 Needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS — A 2011/12 County -wide Housing Needs Assessment of persons living with HIV/AIDS found that survey respondents' average income was $729 a month. 51.5% of respondents reported monthly income of less than $1,000 and 20.5% of respondents reported monthly income between $1,000 and $2,000. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of respondents reported earning income from doing work. Average rent of those without assistance is $617.78. At the time of the Needs Assessment, persons with incomes of $1000 would be spending close to 62% of their income on rent. The latest survey continued to show extremely low need for home health care or related help with self - care. Respondents indicated increased need for basic financial services, including job training and placement. However, a significant number reported experiencing homelessness: 32.5% reported having been homeless (meaning having slept in a place not meant in a place to live in, e.g. the streets, or in an emergency shelter at some point in time.) Of those, a high percentage reported chronic homelessness. The 2013 Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Housing Gap Analysis found that 10,100 persons living with HIV/AIDS in Miami -Dade County are in need of housing assistance. The 2014 HUD Fair Market Rent for a two - Consolidated Plan M IAM I 114 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) bedroom unit is $1,166. A household with a $25,000 yearly income would be required to spend approximately 56% of its household income on rent. Individuals on disability receive $721 a month and cannot afford an efficiency ($747) nor a one -bedroom unit ($910). Special Needs Charac. Part 1 Elderly - With an estimated 3.25 million persons aged 65 and older, the 2010 Census clocks the State of Florida with the second highest number of persons in this age group of any of the states, accounting for 17.3% of Florida's population. Miami's age 65+ population seems to be in keeping with this trend and as based on U.S. Census 2010 demographic data, 16% of the City of Miami's population is 65 years and over, making the jurisdiction the 10th place* (*note: places of 100,000 or more total population. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2010 Census Summary File 1) in the nation with the highest percent of persons 65 years and over (a total of 63,897). When looking specifically at 62 years and older group, the percentage hikes up to 18.9% of the population (75,474 people). According to U.S. Census Bureau, 2007-2011 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates, Selected Economic Characteristics (ACS), 32.4% of individuals age 65 and over in the City have income in the past 12 months that is below the poverty level. Person With Disabilities (mental, physical and/or developmental) means a person who is determined, pursuant to HUD regulations, to have a physical, mental, or emotional impairment that: (1) is expected to be of long -continued and indefinite duration; (2) substantially impedes his or her ability to live independently; (3) and, is of such a nature that the ability to live independently could be improved by more suitable housing conditions;(4) or, has a developmental disability as defined in 42 U.S.C. 6001. The HUD definition does not exclude persons who have the disease of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) or related conditions and the characteristics of this group are addressed later in the Plan. Please note, there are variations in the severity of the impairments that affect persons who meet the definition of disability and information on these variations on a local level is sadly lacking, and cannot be provided. However, for a general look at available disability data, attached is a table breaking down information on the estimated 51,384 persons in the City of Miami who have a disability (13% of the total population), as indicated in the 2009-2011 American Community Survey (ACS) 3-Year Estimate. Of this total, 40.6% are 65 years and over, 9.3% are aged 18 to 64, and 3.8% are ages 5 to 17. In the 65+ age group, the bulk of persons have ambulatory (28.6%) and independent (23.3%) living difficulty. Special Needs Charac. Part 2 Persons with Alcohol or Other Drug Addiction - The State operates addiction treatment centers in Florida and in the Data Snapshot issued by the state's Department of Children & Families (DCF) in February 2011, trend data indicates that the number of adults served in community substance abuse programs has climbed, while the number of children in these programs has slightly declined. The data is noted by region, with Miami included in the "Southern" classification, which encompasses Miami -Dade and Monroe counties. The area reported 12,061 adults and 7,215 children (ages 10-17) were served in the southeastern portion of the State during state fiscal year 2009-2010 for addiction issues. Victims of Consolidated Plan M IAM I 115 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking - State funded domestic violence (DV) programs and centers are administered by DCF. The most recent annual report available addressing DV was issued by DCF noting data gathered for the state's FY2010-2011 (July 2010 through June 2011) about the services provided by, and client characteristics of, persons who visited Florida's approximately 40 certified DV centers. In that report, two DV centers served the Miami -Dade area - Miami -Dade Advocates for Victims (Safespace North and South) and Victim Response, Inc. (The Lodge). The data gathered at these two locations included new admissions, both residential and non-residential. The attached chart provides the characteristic of the persons who received DV -related services at those locations in FY10-11. The data indicates that during that FY, 3,193 persons (combined) received DV services including education and training, youth targeted community education, individual/group child activity, TANF diversion services, supportive counseling and advocacy at those locations. The majority of the clients were women. In both the residential and non-residential service categories, the bulk were extended to Hispanics, followed by Blacks, and non -Hispanics. For quantitative DV crime statistics, the DCED looked to statistics compiled and published by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), which gathers totals from the state's 67 law enforcement agencies and issues this data in Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) that serve as indicators of the number, rates and types of criminal activity known to, and reported by, law enforcement agencies. DV crimes and arrests are segregated in these reports providing a separate rate specifically for these crimes.. For purposes of this CP, the DCED looked more specifically at the data reported by the City of Miami Police Department to the FDLE. Disclaimer: It is important to note that these numbers reflect only sexual offenses that were reported to law enforcement. Data issued by the FDLE in its County and Jurisdictional Domestic Violence Arrest Data (2012), indicates the following for the City of Miami: there were 417 arrests for aggravated assault, 1147 for simple assault, 9 for aggravated stalking, 3 for threat/intimidation, and 2 for of stalking. These arrests, along with some additional categories not mentioned here, accounted for a grant total of 1,579 domestic violence arrests in 2012, the highest number reported by any police bureau in Miami -Dade County — even exceeding the Miami -Dade Police Department's 1,079 arrests, its total in all DV -related categories. This statistic is serious especially given that the County's population is more than 21/2 times that of the City's. In the FDLE's yearly report on County and Jurisdictional Reported Domestic Violence Offenses (2012), the following were reported in Miami: 621 cases of aggravated assault, 16 of aggravated stalking, 1917 of simple assault, 6 of threat/intimidation, and 12 stalking (www.fdle.state.fl.us). Needs of PLWA Needs of persons living with HIV/AIDS — A 2011/12 County -wide Housing Needs Assessment of persons living with HIV/AIDS found that survey respondents' average income was $729 a month. 51.5% of respondents reported monthly income of less than $1,000 and 20.5% of respondents reported monthly income between $1,000 and $2,000. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of respondents reported earning income from doing work. Average rent of those without assistance is $617.78. At the time of the Needs Assessment, persons with incomes of $1000 would be spending close to 62% of their income on rent.

Of those, a high percentage reported chronic homelessness. The 2013 Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Housing Gap Analysis found that 10,100 persons living with HIV/AIDS in Miami -Dade County are in need of housing assistance. The 2014 HUD Fair Market Rent for a two - bedroom unit is $1,166. A household with a $25,000 yearly income would be required to spend approximately 56% of its household income on rent. Individuals on disability receive $721 a month and cannot afford an efficiency ($747) nor a one -bedroom unit ($910). Size and charac. of HIV/AIDS population in the EMSA The Miami -Dade County metropolitan area has the fourth highest number of living AIDS cases in the country (the top ranked in order of highest number of cases are the metropolitan areas of New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.). HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects minority populations in Miami -Dade County, as is the case nationally. Blacks represent 50% of cumulative AIDS cases and 43% of HIV cases in Miami -Dade and Hispanics represent approximately 35% of AIDS cases and approximately 42% of HIV cases. When Approximately 65% of reported AIDS cases are of persons in the age groups of 30 to 39 and 40 to 49. Approximately 56% of reported HIV cases are of persons in the same age groups - 30 to 39 and 40 to 49. A more stark picture of the epidemic is provided by the Florida Department of Health in Miami -Dade County "One -In Statements," as cited in its February 2014 report: One in 67 males in the County is living with HIV or AIDS. Of these, one in 32 Black males is living with HIV or AIDS; one in 70 White males is living with HIV or AIDS; and one in 92 Hispanic males is living with HIV/AIDS. One in 178 females in Miami -Dade is living with HIV or AIDS. Of these, one in 43 Black females is living with HIV/AIDS; one in 532 White females are living with HIV/AIDS; and one in 522 Hispanic females are living with HIV/AIDS. Regarding exposure to HIV, male sexual contact with another male accounted for 65.8% of the cases; heterosexual sexual contact accounted for 77.5% cases among women and 16.4% among men; and intravenous drug use accounted for 7.3% among women and 3.3% among men. In the case of exposure to AIDS, male sexual contact with another male accounted for 55.2% of the cases; heterosexual sexual contact accounted for 66% cases among women and 15.8% among men; and intravenous drug use accounted for 22.4% among women and 12.6% among men. As mentioned earlier in this document, the Miami -Dade County EMSA is divided into ten zones for appropriate study and surveillance of the HIV/AIDS population. The Health Department analyzes these zones, to see where the largest percentage HIV or AIDS cases are located within the EMSA. The City, in turn, makes sure that the HOPWA TBRA program sub -recipients can provide service to clients in all ten zones. As of December 31, 2012 (see Zone map), the Health Department's analysis of said zones found that the highest cases of HIV or AIDS were found in Zone IV (4,670 persons), followed by Zone III (3102 persons), and Zone II (3,032 persons). Zone IV includes the neighborhoods of Liberty City, Miami Shores, Consolidated Plan M IAM I 117 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) El Portal and its vicinity. Zone III includes Miami Beach, South Beach, Surfside and vicinity. Zone II includes the neighborhoods of Opa Locka, Carol City, Norland and vicinity. HIV Housing Need (HOPWA Grantees Only) Type of HOPWA Assistance Estimates of Unmet Need Tenant based rental assistance 6,770 Short-term Rent, Mortgage, and Utility 0 Facility Based Housing (Permanent, short-term or transitional) 0 Alternate Data Source Name: Unmet Needs for HOPWA-Eligible Households Data Source Comments: Table 28 — HIV Housing Need Based on prior programmatic experience, short-term rental assistance is ineffective as clients cycle in and out of homelessness. Moreover, clients surveyed have strong preference be part of the community at large and not reside in community residences. Since clients are living longer, there is less of a need for housing facilities or ALFs. Thus, the community unanimously requests rental assistance over other types of programmatic assistance. This has been documented consistently for significant period now through HIV/AIDS Housing Needs County -Wide Consumer Surveys. The community has voiced need for mortgage and utility assistance, though no quantitative analysis of such need has been performed. The city has funded such assistance during the current fiscal year. Characteristics of special needs in the community Note: Because this section will note save in the eCon Plan, we are entering this part of NA-45 as a text attachment.

Consolidated Plan M IAM I 119 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Discussion: About the HOPWA TBRA program - A recent survey indicated that 83.5% rejected AIDS -only housing with a preference for tenant -based rental assistance. Successful TBRA program outcomes require housing -related service support. Regular and on -going HOPWA Housing Specialist support received by HOPWA Long -Term Rental Assistance clients has proven key to the reduction of eviction, program termination, homelessness and loss of access to care and treatment that otherwise would been risked due to the above factors. It is extremely important to take into account that the rate of persons surviving with the disease and the level of poverty within the PLWH/A population are placing significant pressure on the already limited resources available for housing assistance and other housing -related support services. For persons living with HIV/AIDS, factors impacting housing stability include lack of income, difficulty in locating safe and affordable housing, prevalence of substance abuse, mental health issues, poor household budgeting and management skills, all of which impede staying connected to the HIV/AIDS care system. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 120 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) NA-50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs — 91.215 (f) Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities: The DCED issues a Request for Proposals (RFP) every other year for all CDBG funded activities and/or projects including the Public Facilities category. For FY 14-15 we received ten such RFPs, which were then reviewed and scored, with the highest scoring projects presented to the City Commission for their ultimate funding determination. The DCED also works closely with the City's Department of Capital Improvements/Capital Improvements Program (CIP) which is tasked by the City Code and Florida Statutes with creating a Multi -Year Capital Plan that identifies all of the public improvements necessary across the City -at -large. The projects are organized by fund and programmed for a five-year period, and further described as to their funding status (funded, partially funded, or unfunded). The DCED reviews this plan with emphasis on those that are partially funded, and then identifies what facilities and/or improvements are within low- to moderate- income areas, working cooperatively with elected officials and CIP's Administration to best determine which projects are most viable given available CDBG funding. The most obvious public facilities needs include park improvements and renovations to neighborhood facilities, child care centers, fire facilities, and parking facilities, where activities benefit extremely low-, very low-, and low to moderate -income citizens. How were these needs determined? CIP undertakes outreach year-round with elected officials and constituent groups. Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements: For a City as diverse as Miami, the list of public improvements is vast so the Consolidated Plan of 2014- 18 will focus on those that stand out as high priorities based on the DCED's communications with the Building, CIP and Public Works Departments and these departments' independent analyses of neighborhood and constituent needs. The DCED further refines this list and looks to the needs that lie within low- to moderate -income neighborhoods. To that end, the following public improvements have been identified as key during the next five years: 1. street improvements (several areas); 2. Water & Sewer Department (County managed) upgrades in City of Miami neighborhoods; 3. further construction and development of the Miami River Greenway to provide outdoor recreational opportunities for persons who live and work along the Miami River; 4. funding of additional beds for the homeless, specifically in the downtown area where many chronically homeless persons live under bridges and along public streets; and, 5. the purchase/addition of more park land to the City's current inventory and/or improvements to existent parks. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 121 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) How were these needs determined? When conducting the Parks and Public Spaces Master Plan Survey (2006) of City residents in relation to funding capital improvements in City parks in connection to the City's Miami Parks and Public Spaces Master Plan (May 2007) as prepared by Goody Clancy, 36% of respondents opted to improve existing parks, playgrounds and recreation facilities. Based on surveys and studies conducted by the City's Parks department, most citizens recognize adding additional park space to the City's inventory. To further reinforce this need, the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (January 2013) cites the "need to achieve a medium -term objective of providing a park within a ten-minute, barrier -free walk of every resident" (Obj. PR1.1). The Miami River Commission is an independent body of citizen volunteers tasked with overseeing the local/state/federal (public and private) dollars awarded towards the construction and beautifications efforts of the 10-mile Miami River Greenway outlined in the 2001 Miami River GreenwayAction Plan, to ultimately feature a public pedestrian and bicycle pathway, along with kiosks, informational kiosks, decorative lighting and landscape along one of the City's most vital resources - the Miami River. Aside from maintaining the River which is an environmental resource and a fundamental part of the City's heritage, this effort aides the commercial fishing and boatyard businesses of this working river, and efforts to protect it will catalyze the residential, commercial, and retail development in the neighborhoods around the river. This long-time restoration and development is a result of the approval of the 2001 Miami River GreenwayAction Plan, green -lighted by the City of Miami, Miami - Dade County, and the Miami River Commission. The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) also recognizes the importance of preserving the Miami River and there are several policies in place to look after its preservation and development, one of which is cited in Policy PA3.1.5, "The City shall encourage the development and expansion of the Port of Miami River Working Waterfront consistent with the future land use, coastal management and conservation elements of the City's comprehensive plan. II Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services: The City has historically relied on the input gathered during the public hearings process to establish its public service priorities. The public hearings held in the summer of 2013 identified the following activities as most important: elderly meals, child care services, job training programs, job creation programs, and programs for the handicapped/disabled. Aside from this, surveys were distributed to all in attendance during the hearings, to further confirm priorities. As indicated in the U.S. Census Bureau 2010 Census Summary File, Table DP-1, 34.9% of the City's population is over the age of 62. When comparing the 2000 and 2010 Census, the category of persons aged 55 to 59 saw a 29.2% growth, and the category of 60 to 64 years of age saw an 11.8% growth. All signs would indicate that Miami's older Consolidated Plan MIAMI 122 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) population is continuing to age in place. Because of the numbers, elderly services (specifically meals) are of great concern in most districts and is a top priority amongst most districts. Given the 15% CDBG public service cap, agencies providing other services (such as childcare and job training) often feel shortchanged. To that end, City agencies and administrators have voiced their belief that a waiver to the CDBG-funded public service cap, allowing for a higher 25% (of total CDBG funding) allocation towards public service activities, would help fund additional services that are crucial to a community that is attempting to alleviate the economic burdens of an unusually large, low- income elderly population. Several City of Miami Commissioners and the Mayor have met with Miami's Congressmen to discuss this situation and ultimately, the City understands that this type of modification would have to be approved by U.S Congress. How were these needs determined? The list of Public Service needs was developed during the five (5) public meetings held in August of 2013. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 123 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Housing Market Analysis MA-05 Overview Housing Market Analysis Overview: The following Housing Market Section of the City of Miami's Consolidated Plan is intended to describe the physical or "supply" side of the City's housing environment. Together with the previous "Housing Needs Assessment," a clearer understanding of the City's housing issues and conditions should emerge that will help guide the Housing Strategic Plan. Key findings in this market analysis are listed below: City of Miami Housing Market Inventory: • There are a total of 183,994 housing units within the City of Miami limits. The total number of housing units grew by 24 percent from 2000 to 2010 by adding 35,606 units to the city's housing stock during this time period. • Miami is experiencing a rebound in multi -family building permits, which are recovering more quickly than single-family units. • The City of Miami historically has been a city of renters and indicators appear to support this trend into the future. • City of Miami residents show a tendency to occupy different housing unit size based on tenure with renters most likely in smaller units and homeowners more likely living in larger units. • For the first time, the majority of the properties in the City of Miami are made up of structures with 20 or more units. • Three quarters of all the county's public housing units are located in the City of Miami. • In the City of Miami, there are currently a total of 13,325 assisted housing units that are funded with federal, state, and local rental housing programs and 315 that are under construction, the majority of these units serve family households. • The City of Miami is vulnerable to ongoing losses of affordable housing stock, especially low -rent housing stock, due to the little revenue available to cover operating and maintenance costs. As of 1997, the City has lost a total of 2,161 assisted housing units, the majority (57 percent) of the assisted housing units dedicated to families. Cost of Housing: • Home Purchase Market: The median home value has increased a staggering 139 percent over the past decade —mostly driven by a rebound in the condominium real estate market that has recovered quickly after the housing bubble burst. • The average household in the City of Miami cannot afford to purchase a single-family home or condominium without becoming cost -burdened. Approximately 65 percent of the city's housing Consolidated Plan M IAM I 124 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) units with a mortgage pay 30 percent or more of their household's income a month on the cost of housing. • Rental Market: The price of rent has increased over the past decade by 62 percent. This is explained in part by how the city's ratio of occupied rental units paying more for rent has increased over the same period leading to 67 percent of the city's occupied rental units to be cost -burdened. Even taking into account special rates (such as those from FMR, High/Low HOME program, and tax credit developers), the average Miami household would be cost -burdened in the Miami rental market with affordability gaps ranging from $28.50 to $1,124 depending on the unit size. Findings The findings from the Market Analysis and those from discussed in the Needs Assessment help explain why the City of Miami has become increasingly unaffordable and cost -burdening to its residents — especially those seeking low -rental options. Historically, Miami has been a boom -bust market whose volatility has not been kind to the city's low-income residents. During the recent housing boom, many of the city's urban core neighborhoods were rediscovered and gentrification became prevalent in areas such as Wynwood and Coconut Grove. Miami's property values sky rocketed as a result of a buying frenzy inspired both by investors trying to take advantage of appreciating housing market conditions and of homebuyers eager to be able to share in part of the American dream at any cost, lured by attractive, but deceiving financial instruments private lenders set in place to profit from the appreciating market. After the collapse of the housing market and the US economy in 2008, the effects of a large sub - prime mortgage loan market, a stagnant economy with high unemployment rates contributed to the large number of foreclosure proceedings. In fact, statistics show South Florida as one of the top five regions in the United States that was hit the hardest by the housing foreclosure and financial crises. During the recession, the volume of foreclosures and vacant buildings was highest from 2007 to 2009 and property values devaluated 50% to 60% of, reaching the lowest level in April 2011.[1] The rental market in the City of Miami was deeply affected by the foreclosure crisis too in that it pushed many middle -income homeowners into the rental market creating a squeeze in the low cost rental supply and pushing up rental prices. The real estate market is beginning to show constant positive growth with building permit authorizations beginning to pick up again through the first quarter of 2013—especially the county's multi -family units which many were built within the City of Miami's central business district and surrounding areas. Miami's housing market rebound is mostly attributed to historic levels of international and private capital investment pools. In addition, Miami is one of three large metropolitan areas that through August 2013 saw a torrid pace of permitting that increased by 70% or more. The area's single-family homes are also showing signs of life. Despite still being 43% lower than their peak in 2006, in April 2013, Miami's single-family homes have shown the biggest gain in property values among East Coast cities. [2] Consolidated Plan MIAMI 125 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Findings Conti. Front and center to the change in the city's housing market are the household mobility and income trends. According to the 2007-2011 American Community Survey, 51% of the occupied households in the City of Miami moved into their unit in 2005 or later. In other words, half of the city's households moved into their current unit in the span of just a few years. If one takes into consideration the figures from 2000 to present, a total of 106,640 or 71% of the city's households moved into their unit during this time frame. The City of Miami is a city in flux, whose housing demands are changing in real time. The city's household wealth is also changing. According to a comparison between 2000 Census and the 2007-2011 ACS, the city's share of household earnings less than $10,000 fell from 24% to 16%. In fact, during this same period, the share of every low-income category fell while higher income household rose. It is important to understand that these figures do not say that the city lost residents in low-income categories as much as the landscape of the city has changed by quite possible adding more households to the higher income brackets, and, thereby changing the share of households in these income categories.

A simple fact remains: despite the market forces that increased the supply of housing options in the City of Miami, nearly half the city households cannot find housing that would not cost -burden them. Perhaps more ominous in a city of renters that has experienced a robust injection of multi -family units over the past decade: a staggering 79% of the city's renter households are cost -burdened. The high rates of cost burden indicate that the available affordable housing stock is not meeting the needs of city residents. The demand for low-cost rental options in Miami is corroborated by an article in Bloomberg Business Week in which a private affordable housing developer stated that, especially near the job core and transit lines, there is an insufficient supply of low-cost rental options compared to the demand. The article quoted that the demand "is so large that even if developers had the resources to build five times as many units per year in the area, thousands would still be in need." [1] Based on prior discussions in this plan about various population groups that are not well served by the current housing market in the City of Miami and the data analyzed in the Housing Market analysis, the following broad statement can be made: Miami's housing market does not provide sufficient: Affordable housing options —especial low-cost rental units: Almost half the City of Miami is cost -burdened and a staggering portion of the cost -burdened (79 percent) and severely cost -burdened (69 percent) households in the city of Miami are renters. Considering the majority (66 percent) of the city's households rent, there is a general need for affordable rental options for households across income brackets. Small multi -family unit structures ideal for affordable rental: While the city experienced an increase in housing units, there were notable decreases in small multi- family structure types. Of particular note was the loss of small multi -family units in structures containing two to nine units. These structure types traditionally support affordable rental housing in older urban neighborhoods and are often considered ideal affordable rental communities. Findings Cont3 Affordable rental units with three or more bedrooms large families: Occupancy data by tenure illustrated that the smaller the unit size, the greater the chance it will be occupied by a renter. Therefore, families that require more than two bedrooms may have trouble finding rental opportunities in the City of Miami— the choices are even more limited if the family is cost - burdened. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 128 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Affordable rental options are needed to accommodate small families: The CHAS data analyzed in the Housing Needs Assessment clearly make a case that small -related households (and the elderly discussed below) have a greater need than the other population sub- categories. Approximately, 45,750 small -related households are cost -burdened or severely cost - burdened in the City of Miami. The greatest majority of these households are renters, especially in the low-income categories. Affordable rental and single-family rehabilitation programs for the city's elderly population: The City of Miami was one of ten large cities in the nation with a large elderly population 65 years and over. These statistics are important to consider in light that the growth rate of the elderly population is low comparatively to the workforce age residents in the city, but make up a significant share of the city's population comparatively to other large cities. The CHAS data analyzed in the Needs Assessment found that a significant portion of the population in the lowest income category are made up of elderly households and, thus, elderly renter and homeowner households experience high rates of housing problems due to high costs — this group is the only household type in the city with a significant number of homeowners experiencing cost -burden. Tenant -based HOPWA rental assistance to help meet the need of the 10,100 persons living with HIV/AIDS in Miami -Dade County are in need of housing assistance: A large number of persons living with HIV/AIDS in Miami -Dade County has limited income due to their disability and, thus, creating the need for more safe and affordable housing options. The 2013 Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Housing Gap Analysis found that 10,100 persons living with HIV/AIDS in Miami -Dade County are in need of housing assistance. Findings Cont4 Emergency and permanent supportive housing to be designated to the chronically homelessness: According to the 2012 Miami -Dade COC application, outreach teams continued to determine a greater need for emergency shelter beds based on economic factors, high unemployment rates, and more successful engagement of clients. Outreach continues to advise that if provided with additional beds they could, in turn, place additional homeless individuals from the street into shelters. There is currently an extensive waiting list with an average placement time of two to three weeks. As such, according to the 2012 Miami -Dade CoC application, it is the CoC's goal is to create 100 new beds of permanent supportive housing for homeless persons annually. Many of these units are designated for the chronically homeless. According the Miami -Dade Community Homeless Plan updated in December 2013, 114 new beds will be added in 2014 for emergency shelter and permanent housing options will continue to be a top priority. Housing assistance for; (1) households at risk of becoming homeless, but no longer eligible under the new HPRP income limits, and (2) households with disabilities: Previously under the Homeless Prevention and Rapid -rehousing Program (HPRP) funding, low-income households above 30 percent AMI were eligible for assistance. This accounted for approximately 20 percent of households served Consolidated Plan MIAMI 129 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) under HPRP which ended June 30, 2012. Under the new ESG funding, eligibility is limited to households at or below 30 percent AMI leaving the households previously eligible without housing assistance through these funds despite their continued risk to become homeless. While a majority of households served have been able to become stable and self- sufficient within the six month assistance period, there is a subset of households that need longer assistance due to continued unemployment or lack of sufficient affordable housing in the area, in particular for persons who are disabled. Households with disabilities (on SSI income) for the most part need longer term assistance such as an ongoing rental and utility subsidy. Attempts are made to use ESG funds as a gap while they wait for additional assistance, but it is not always available. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 130 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-10 Number of Housing Units — 91.210(a)&(b)(2) Introduction City of Miami Housing Market Inventory: According to the 2010 Census, there are a total of 183,994 housing units within the City of Miami limits. The total number of housing units grew by 24 percent from 2000 to 2010 by adding 35,606 units to the city's housing stock during this time period. As of the 2010 Census, there were a total of 158,317 occupied housing units in the city, representing an 18 percent growth (+24,119 units) in occupied units over the past decade. The vacancy rates according to the 2010 Census show a steep increase over the past decade with approximately 14 percent of the city's housing stock not occupied and vacancy rates at 7.2 for homeowners and 9.2 for renters. However, the Miami housing market is in flux and has changed considerably since the time of the Census. There is a wide range in vacancy calculations depending on the source. For example, the latest 5-year estimate from the 2008-2012 American Community Survey states that the city's vacancy rate is higher at 19.6 percent with a slight decrease in homeowner vacancy (6.1%) and rental vacancy remaining steady (9.2%). On the other hand, a Housing report from Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research surveyed rental apartments in the county and found that vacancy rates averaged 4.6 countywide and 3.8 to 4.2 in sub - market areas that include the City of Miami. Although this figure is lower than the Census number, the Reinhold report states that there are signs of an increase in vacancy most likely due to the fact that rents have increased at a pace unsupportable over the past year resulting in an increase in vacancy rates. This last statement is a probable explanation for the high vacancy rates, regardless of the data source and especially if the cost -burden data from the previous chapter is taken into consideration.

For context, it is important to recall that the mid-1990 building boom in Miami -Dade County doubled the building permits from 6,952 to 14,789 and how it paled in comparison to the most recent boom between 2003 and 2005 in which the county authorized 27,212 building permits in 2005 alone- nearly twice as many permits as the previous boom in the 1990s. Though the most significant building permit activity occurred during 2004 and 2005, a noteworthy upward trend in the number of building permits authorized showed signs as early as 2001; in that year the number of housing permits authorized were just 1,344 shy of the mid-1990s housing boom peak. The first sign the most current building boom was in decline occurred in 2006 with a 39 percent decrease in building permit activity. It should be noted, however, that in absolute numbers, the 16,536 building permits issued by the county was still significantly greater than the peak of the mid 1990s housing boom. It was not until 2007 when a dramatic decrease in building permits activity occurred, with a 52 percent decrease from the previous year and 71 percent decrease from the housing boom's peak in 2005. With the collapse of the US financial markets in 2008, the housing market in Miami -Dade County fell to its lowest in 2009 with only 1,150 authorized building permits for the entire county. The building permit data from 2010 through the first quarter of 2013 shows that construction activity is beginning to pick up again for a total of 5,064 approved building permits by year's end 2012. Despite this positive trend, it is important to note that this total is still below the pre-1990s building boom.

MA-10.3 MA-10.4 Miami is experiencing a rebound in multi -family building permits, which are recovering more quickly than single-family units. In fact, Miami is one of three large metropolitan areas that through August 2013 saw a torrid pace of permitting that increased by 70 percent or more. The rebound in multifamily construction is evident across the country. Through August 2013, the number of multifamily permits in the 100 largest metros was up by more than 20 percent from a year earlier.[1] However, there are some notable differences across markets with a handful of cities experiencing an extreme pace of permitting; these include Miami, Atlanta, and Phoenix whose permitting jumped by 70 percent or more. [1] It is important to discuss this rebound with context. According to housing reports by Reinhold P. Wolff Economic Research, Inc., the multi -family Consolidated Plan M IAM I 133 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) housing units category began the decade of the 1990s with less building permit activity than single- family units and eventually caught up during the first housing boom of the 1990s. However, during the second housing boom of the 2000s, building permit activity for multi -family units skyrocketed, creating the largest gap between the two housing types in the last 20 years before both falling to the same low level post -boom in 2009. Since 2009, the multi -family housing units have made a more aggressive comeback than the single-family units —even outpacing the pre-1990s building boom figures. This upswing in multi -family demand in the county is significant to the City of Miami because an analysis of the building permit activity by sub -markets is the only municipality that has been steadily increasing most likely within or adjacent to Miami's Central Business District. However, a one -point -in -time analysis of three months of building permit data ending in March 31, 2013 shows that the City only makes up 10 percent of the total authorizations, behind unincorporated county (23 percent) and the cities of Coral Gables and Miami Beach, each with 18 percent respectively. In addition, approximately 8,763 housing starts were forecasted by year's end of 2013; of these, about 6,010 (69 percent) are multi -family units.[2] Specifically, as of March 31, 2013, there are a total of 1,259 units of new rental apartments under construction in Miami -Dade County. 18,000 16,000 14.000 12,000 10,000 8.000 6,000 4,000 2,000 0 New Housing Units Authorized by Building Permits, Miami -Dade County (1991-2012) 4,087 ol's c3'ti 0) oaf <3 0) oil c3 <3 0 0 p � °' tig tia �� tig ti� N.

MA-10.6 MA-10.7 The City of Miami historically has been a city of renters and indicators appear to support this trend into the future According to the 2000 and 2010 Census, the housing occupancy growth rate mentioned in the previous section was fueled by renter -occupied units which outpaced the occupied housing unit total growth rate with a 22.6 percent change over the same time period. According to the 2010 Census, there are 107,131 renter -occupied housing units that represent 65.3 percent of the total occupied housing units in the City of Miami. Owner -occupied units make up the balance (32.3 percent) of the units with a total of 51,186 total occupied units in 2010. One can especially appreciate the extent that the City of Miami is a city of renters when one compares the tenure rates to the region. According to the 2010 Census, 44.2 percent of the county's occupied units were renters and 32.6 percent in the State of Florida —nearly have the rate of the City of Miami. It should be noted, however, that despite the renter market driving the growth trends in occupied units, the City of Miami remained the same since 2000 in regards to the proportion of renters and owners in the occupied units.

In fact, when comparing the 2000 Census and the 2007-2011 ACS, the 20+ unit structures were the only property type to grow in relation to the total percentage of housing structures within the City of Miami. This represents a significant change in the city's housing market which at the time of the 2000 Census had a majority (30.6 percent) of properties that were 1-unit detached single-family homes. Although the 1-unit detached properties are still numerous today, the growth in the multi- family structures is a trend that has continued since the last Consolidated Plan and is expected to continue into the future —a fact supported by the building permit and new construction activity analyzed previously in this chapter. In addition, a second trend identified in the past two Consolidated Plans apparently is still in motion and worthy to highlight: As mentioned above, while the city experienced an overall increase in housing units there was a decrease in all the other property types, Consolidated Plan M IAM I 136 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) most notably the small multi -family structure types ideal for affordable rental housing. From the 1970s through much of the 1990s, multifamily buildings with two to nine apartments were the most common rental structure. [1] While not all multifamily structures are rentals, it is noteworthy that nationally increasing shares of new rentals are in large buildings. [2] There is not enough information to determine the ratio of the tenure of these new large structures in Miami nor what the consequences will be in terms of affordable rental stock. 1-unit, detached 1-unit, attached 2 units 3 or 4 units 5 to 9 units 10to 19 units 20 or m ore units Mobile home 0,0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.096 35.0% 40.0% 6 Boat, RV, van, etc. 0.1% Percent of Units in a Structure in the City of Miami, 2000 Census vs. 2007-2011ACS ■ 2007-2011 ACS ■ 2000 Census MA-10.10 MA-10.11 City of Miami residents show a tendency to occupy different housing unit size based on tenure with renters most likely in smaller units and homeowners more likely living in larger units According to CHAS Table 2, 51 percent of homeowners live in units with three or more bedrooms while renters are almost equally divided between one -bedroom (40 percent) and two -bedroom (39 percent) units. In addition, if the same CHAS figures are analyzed differently across bedroom size, interesting trends emerge that more clearly demonstrate that the smaller the unit size, the greater the chance it will be occupied by a renter. Lastly, it should also be noted that a small majority (39 percent) of the housing stock in the City of Miami is comprised of 2-bedroom units and their tenure reflects the renter/owner ratio of the city as a whole.

MA 10.14 Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal, state, and local programs. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 140 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The housing programs available within the City of Miami target different households by income level and family size. What follows is a quick breakdown of these programs -- Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding is used to assist individuals/families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, to quickly regain housing stability after experiencing a housing crisis or homelessness. Due to limitations in ESG funding, the funds are used to aide those in the most dire situations. In the case of Rapid Rehousing, the program focuses on persons/families earning between 30% -50% area median income (AMI), although at their 3 month recertification, they can no longer be assisted if they are over 30% AMI. In the case of homelessness prevention, the funding aides persons/households who are at 30% AMI or below. The Section 8 program subsidizes rental assistance to meet the housing needs of income -eligible individuals, based on family size. The maximum allowable income for a Section 8 applicant is up to 50% AMI. The City participates in both the Section 8 Moderate rehabilitation program which is a project - based program where the assistance is given to eligible participants occupying specific multi -family apartment buildings, and in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program, a tenant -based program in which the participants can choose the unit where they will live. The First -Time Homebuyer Program provides zero percent deferred loans to first-time homebuyers purchasing a property in the City of Miami. Eligibility for the program is based on a household income less than or equal to 80% AMI, adjusted for family size. In addition, potential homebuyers must not have owned a home in the past three years, be able to afford a monthly payment, and make a contribution towards closing costs and/or down payment of $500 from personal funds. The Single -Family Homeowner Programs (Rehabilitation, Emergency Rehabilitation, or Home Replacement) assist eligible homeowners to rehabilitate their existing housing units located in the City of Miami. Eligibility for these programs is determined primarily by the applicant's household income that must be less than or equal to 80% AMI, adjusted for family size. It should be noted that the in the case of rehabilitation funded with SHIP funds, the maximum income is up to 120% AMI. Housing for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program assists low-income (80% AMI) persons with AIDS and their families with rental housing assistance via a TBRA offering known locally as Long -Term Rental Assistance or at project -based units, whereby the assistance (subsidy) is tied to the unit. Neighborhood Stabilization Plan (NSP) funding is designed to stabilize the hardest hit neighborhoods from the foreclosure crisis. All activities funded by NSP must benefit low to moderate income persons whose incomes do not exceed 120% AMI, adjusted for family size. Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF) dollars are locally (City) collected and can assist homebuyers (persons/families) whose income does not exceed 150% AMI or developers building new affordable homeownership units or the construction, rehab, preservation or refinancing of rental units (5 or more), preserving said units for persons/families who are 80% AMI or below for the affordability period. Public Housing - According to Miami -Dade County Public Housing and Community Development's (PHCD) 5-year Plan, there are currently a total 9,189 public housing (PH) units in the county. The DCED plotted the addresses of these units and found that 6,889 (74.9 percent) are located in the City of Miami. As per PHCD, at least 40% of new admissions to PH must be extremely low-income (30% AMI or below) and the remaining 60% of new admissions can be up to 80% AMI or below. Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 141 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The City of Miami is vulnerable to ongoing losses of affordable housing stock, especially low -rent housing stock, due to the little revenue available to cover operating and maintenance costs. As of 1997, the City has lost a total of 2,161 assisted housing units, the majority (57%) of the assisted housing units dedicated to families - The Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing's AHI includes data on lost properties as well as those with risk factors that could lead to removal. An assisted housing unit is deemed lost if the property appeared in the AHI previously and is now no longer is listed. As such, the Year of Loss is the last year the property appeared in the AHI or otherwise the Year of Loss is the latest: date of last report to Florida Housing, year of opt -out from HUD project -based rental assistance, year of prepayment of HUD mortgage, or year of assignment of HUD mortgage. Taking this definition into consideration, the Shimberg Center found that a total of 2,161 assisted housing units have been lost in the City of Miami since 1997. Please see chart included in this section reflecting the yearly counts. The majority (1,238 or 57 percent) were assisted housing units dedicated to families. Approximately 199 assisted housing units were lost for the elderly; in addition, 724 assisted housing units were lost for unrecorded target populations. Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population? In the Housing Needs chapter, two trends were identified in terms of housing needs in the City of Miami: 1)Demographic changes occurring in the city signal an increased need for more housing especially in certain subsets of the population such as non -family households, small households, and the elderly population, and 2)A housing cost/income mismatch has led almost half of the city's households to be cost -burdened and created a need for more affordable housing options for families and city residents in general. Taking these needs into consideration, the available housing units do not meet the needs of low-income city residents. The high rates of severe cost burden indicate that the available affordable housing stock is not meeting the needs of city residents. This is discussed in greater detail below, as well as in the Needs Assessment Section of this plan. Describe the need for specific types of housing: The decade between the two censuses in 2000 and 2010 represents a shift in the predominant type of households in the City of Miami towards "non -family households." Although the family households still represent a majority, the latter category grew modestly over the past ten years. On the other hand, non - family households grew at an impressive 34.1% during the same time period, to now make up 43.1% of the total households in Miami. It is important to note that there may also be a correlation between the growth of this type of household and the number of multi -family units added to the city during the housing boom, as discussed previously. The question remains: do these new units help with supply issues identified in the past ConPlan relating to the City's lack of affordable rental options? Most likely the answer is negative when one considers the enormous rate of cost -burdened households in the City of Miami, especially renters, the decline in small multifamily structures common in urban neighborhoods, the high rates of overcrowded units in the City, and, despite the new units added to the Consolidated Plan M IAM I 142 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) city's housing stock, the number of small -related families having trouble finding affordable rental options. These and other specific housing needs are explored in this section: The City of Miami's renters are severely cost -burdened and need more affordable rental options - A staggering portion of the cost -burdened (79%) and severely cost -burdened (69%) households in the city of Miami are renters. Considering the majority (65.5%) of the city's households rent, there is a general need for affordable rental options for households across income brackets. There is a need for preservation of small multi -family unit structures ideal for affordable rental - While the city experienced an increase in housing units, there were notable decreases in small multi -family structure types. Of particular note was the loss of small, multi -family units in structures containing two to nine units. These structure types traditionally support affordable rental housing in older urban neighborhoods and are often considered ideal affordable rental communities. The short supply of rental units with three or more bedrooms demonstrate a need for affordable rental options for large families - Occupancy data by tenure illustrated earlier in this chapter showed that the smaller the unit size, the greater the chance it will be occupied by a renter. Therefore, families that require more than two bedrooms may have trouble finding rental opportunities in the City of Miami -- the choices are even more limited if the family is cost -burdened. It is also worthwhile to note that the Housing Needs Assessment found that overcrowded units, especially those that are inhabited by renter households between 0 to 50 percent AMI, were the second most common housing problem after cost - burdened households. It is not clear whether the overcrowding is due to large families not finding affordable housing options or whether low-income renters are doubling up due to high rental costs. Small -related households in the City of Miami have a tendency to be poor, renters, and severely cost - burdened. More affordable rental options are needed to accommodate small families - The CHAS data analyzed in the Housing Needs Assessment clearly makes a case that small -related households (and the elderly discussed below) have a greater need than the other population sub -categories. Approximately, 45,750 small -related households are cost -burdened or severely cost -burdened in the City of Miami. The greatest majority of these households are renters, especially in the low-income categories. Discussion The City of Miami is in the midst of a transformation in many of its neighborhoods that added both population and new housing units over the last decade, before much of the growth came to a standstill due to the housing bust and US Financial market collapse that dramatically decreased new construction activity to its lowest point in at least the past 20 years. The real estate market is beginning to show constant positive growth with building permit authorizations beginning to pick up again through the first quarter of 2013, especially the county's multi -family units, many of which were built within the City of Miami's central business district and surrounding areas. Along this vein, an analysis of data from the Census shows that the only building structures to positively make gains, in terms of the City's ratio of properties, are those with 20 or more units as commonly seen throughout Downtown and the Brickell Consolidated Plan M IAM I 143 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) area. Combined with census demographic data that illustrated a dramatic change in population growth, household wealth, household mobility, and household type towards non -family it is difficult not to make the assumption that much of the new housing supply developed in the city over the last decade was not intended to meet the demands of its residents, but instead has attracted wealthier individuals, perhaps professionals without families, interested in living in the urban core or in the revitalization of the city's central business district and surrounding neighborhoods like Brickell, Mid -town, Wynwood and the Design District. Thus, a simple fact remains: despite the market forces that increased the supply of housing options in the City of Miami, nearly half the city households cannot find housing that would not cost -burden them. Perhaps more ominous in a city of renters that has experienced a robust injection of multi -family units over the past decade: a staggering 79 percent of the city's renter households are cost - burdened. The high rates of cost burden indicate that the available affordable housing stock is not meeting the needs of city residents. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 144 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a) Introduction Many of the housing problems explored in the Housing Needs Analysis, such as cost -burden or overcrowding, are directly related to the cost of housing. As such, if housing costs are high relative to the city's median household income of $29,762, a correspondingly high prevalence of housing problems occurs.[1] This section evaluates the affordability of the housing stock in the City of Miami and finds that large affordability gaps are caused by two critical variables: (1)the high concentration of low median household incomes in the City of Miami, and (2)overinflated real estate prices —especially condominium home prices. Home Purchase Market: The median home value has increased a staggering 139 percent over the past decade —mostly driven by a rebound in the condominium real estate market that has recovered quickly after the housing bubble burst. According to CHAS Table 3, the median home value increase a stunning 139 percent over the ten-year period between 2000 and 2010. According to the same CHAS Table, Miami's median home value in 2010 was $278,600 —in spite of the bust of the housing market that still leaves Miami having the most foreclosure activity among large metropolitan areas (despite a 17.7 percent decrease in foreclosure activity in the past year). [2] The increase in median home value can be understood in part when the value of owner -occupied housing units are disaggregated and compared over time. Since the 2000 Census, the city's ratio of affordable owner -occupied units has drastically changed. According to the 2000 Census, the majority of the owner -occupied units were valued between $100,000 to $149,999 (31.7 percent) and $50,000 to $99,999 (31.1 percent). According to the 2007-2011 ACS, the largest segment of owner -occupied units are now valued at $200,000 to $299,999 (26.8 percent) and $300,000 to $499,999 (24.3 percent). The most troubling in terms of affordability, is that the ratio of owner occupied units valued below $199,999 became inverted in the span of the decade represented in the two data sets. Every value range between $0 to $199,999 (especially those valued at $149,999 and below) lost a significant share of the city's owner -occupied units and every value range above $200,000 gained units. According to data from the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing, the median sales price growth has been greater in the condominium real estate market (+120 percent) as compared to the single-family housing market (+27 percent) during similar time intervals of the data that was examined in the previous paragraph, 2000 and 2012. It is interesting to note that the median sales price between a single-family home and a condominium in 1996 was nearly the same with the single-family home being slightly more expensive. This trend continued through most of the past market cycles since with two notable exceptions: the condo market peaked later than the single-family home and has recovered more aggressively since the housing bust to take the lead and create, perhaps, the greatest difference ($118,000+) in value between the two housing types in recent memory.

Approximately 65 percent of the city's housing units Consolidated Plan M IAM I 147 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) with a mortgage pay 30 percent or more of the household income a month on the cost of housing. The rising real estate values in the City of Miami have created a substantial affordability gap for home purchase, limiting the housing options considering the low median household income in the city. In particular, the unprecedented market appreciation of condos and their rapid recuperation in the real estate market has made them inaccessible to the average Miami resident. To better understand the degree of the gap in housing affordability, a computation was performed utilizing the median sales price for a single-family home and a condominium in relation to the median household income of the city. Favorable financing terms were applied to the Fannie Mae Mortgage Affordability Calculator: fixed 30- year mortgage at 4.55 percent interest and a 5 percent down payment. Debt ratios were not factored into the housing affordability calculation and credit scores were not taken into consideration. The end result is a housing market that despite a significant recent price correction for single-family homes, still creates cost burdens for owner households with an affordable gap of $79,502 for a single- family home. The difference is worse for condominiums, where an owner household would most likely be severely cost -burdened due to an affordability gap of $197,552 —more than three times that of the single-family home. The data from the 2007-2011 ACS agrees with the affordability gap computation in that 65.1 percent of the city's housing units with a mortgage are cost -burdened. Mil i Y i +.• ' + a u.'

This is explained in part by how the city's ratio of occupied rental units paying more for rent has increased over the same period leading to 67% of the city's occupied rental units to be cost -burdened. The rental market in the City of Miami was deeply affected by the 2003-2005 housing boom and the subsequent foreclosure crisis that pushed many middle -income homeowners into the rental market, creating a squeeze in the low cost rental supply and pushing up rental prices. Therefore, despite a collapse in the US financial markets and a housing bust, CHAS Table 3 illustrates how the gross median rent in the City of Miami has increased by 62 percent over the past decade, becoming an unbearable burden for the majority of the city's low- and middle -income households who tend to be renters. At the time of the 2000 Census, the majority of the occupied rental units were paying $500 to $749 (36.5 percent) and $300 to $499 (28.5 percent of) for rent. Today the percent of the city's rental units paying those same prices has dropped to 18.2 percent and 5.6 percent, respectively. Much like the owner - occupied data discussed above, the ratio of the city's rental -occupied units paying more for rent has risen since 2000 and has created an inverse relationship with the lower rent units. According to the 2007-2011 ACS, the majority of the rental occupied units are now paying $750 to $999 (26.6 percent) and $1,000 to $1,499 (26.8 percent). The city's rental market has been clearly affected by the real estate market forces described earlier in this chapter. Considering that a significant majority of the city residents are renters, the decrease in the city's share of affordable rental is alarming. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 149 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC), a household in Miami -Dade County would need an annual income of $44,880 to afford HUD's fair market rent for a two -bedroom apartment.[1] Considering that the City's median income is $29,762, many times the only affordable rental units available to low-income city residents are those that have been heavily subsidized. Even then, many of the larger units in the tax credit developments may also be unaffordable to the average city resident as is apparent in the computation of the rental affordability gap. The rental affordability gap was determined by dividing into 12 (monthly rental payments) approximately 30 percent of the city's median income. This computation yields a maximum value of $744.05 that could be paid by an average city resident and not become cost -burdened. In order to see if there is an affordability gap, the $744.05 was compared to the cities' median gross rent, the most recent FMR rates for 2014, the high/low HOME rental rates, as well as the rent prices from the county's affordable tax credit development. The only rents that were affordable to an average Miami household were the 0-1 bedroom units provided by the tax credit developers and the low HOME program; a 0-bedroom bedroom with FMR rates has only a $2.50 gap and could be considered affordable. The largest rental affordability gaps occur in the larger units with three or four bedrooms —especially a 4-bedroom FMR unit would put an average city household $1,124 over their budget. $1,500 or more $1,000 to 51,499 I $750to 5999 *ME $500to $749 5300to $499 $200 to $299 M Less than 5200 Gross Rent for Occupied Units Paying Rent in the City of Miami, 2000 & 2007-2011 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% 15.0% 20.0% 25.0% 30.0% 35.0 % 40.0% MA-15.8 Consolidated Plan • 2000 Census • 2007-2011 AC5 M IAM I 150 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 95% Less than 15.0 percent ■ 25.0to 29.9 percent MA-15.9 Consolidated Plan Gross Rent as a Percent of Household Income, City of Miami, 2007-2011 Percent of Cost- Burdned Housing Units Paying Rent 15,0to 19.9 percent 30.0to 34.9 percent 20.0 to 24.9 percent ■ 35.0 percent or more M IAM I 151 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Rental Affordability Gap by Unit Size, City of Miami Assumptions based on Median HH Income in the City of Miami City of Miami Median HH Income $ 29,762 30% of Median HH Income divided by 12 Months $744.05 Unit Size Monthly Rent ($) Affordability Gap City of Miami Median Gross Rent (2008-2012) - 925 (180.95) Fair Market Rent, FY 2014 0 Bedroom 747 (2 50) 1 Bedroom 910 (165.50) 2 Bedroom 1,166 (421.50) 3 Bedroom 1,600 (855.50) 4 Bedroom 1,869 (1124.50) High HOME Rent 0 Bedroom 760 (15.50) 1 Bedroom 819 (74.50) 2 Bedroom 984 (239.50) 3 Bedroom 1,128 (383.50) 4 Bedroom 1,239 (494.50) Low HOME Rent 0 Bedroom 602 142.50 1 Bedroom 645 99.50 2 Bedroom 773 (28.50) 3 Bedroom 894 (149.50) 4 Bedroom 997 (252.50) Miami -Dade Affordable Rentals (Tax Credit Developments) Overall $819 (74.95) 0 Bedroom $519 225.05 1 Bedroom $711 33.05 2 Bedroom $829 (84.95) 3 Bedroom $943 (198.95) 4 Bedroom $986 (241.95).

No. The City of Miami is experiencing robust population growth that will certainly increase demand for housing options. Despite the growth in both population and new housing stock, there is insufficient housing that is affordable to households at most income levels in the city. This is apparent from the high levels of housing cost burden experienced by 67% of the city's renters and 65% of the city's homeowners. In particular, there is not enough supply of low -to -moderate income rental units in the city. A good example of the demand for affordable housing is when Miami -Dade County opened a lottery for public housing and housing vouchers and attracted 70,000 applicants within 30 days —at a turnover rate of 1,400 units per year under the existing funding, it would take 50 years of demand created by the lottery in just 30 days.[1] In an article in Bloomberg Business Week, a private affordable housing developer stated that the low-cost rental options in Miami, especially near the job core and transit lines, are insufficient compared to the demand and further added that the discrepancy "is so large that even if developers had the resources to build five times as many units per year in the area, thousands would still be in need." [2] As described throughout this chapter and in the previous Housing Needs Analysis, the supply of low- income housing options have diminished: 1) The losses of existing affordable rental units tend to be concentrated among low rent units, and the new construction that has taken place in Miami has typically added residences at the upper end of the rent distribution; 2) The only share of rental units Consolidated Plan M IAM I 154 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) that have grown in the past decade are those paying more than $750 —more than any unit of any size. 3) Decreased funding to the city's HOME Program limits the number of new affordable housing units the city will be able to subsidize in the near future. How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents? For the past few years, the City of Miami's real estate market has been volatile and difficult to predict in terms of affordability. At the time of the last Consolidated Plan and post -housing bust, Miami was left with almost 25,000 unsold new condos in downtown alone representing over a 19-year inventory supply in 2008.[1] However, despite corrections to the housing market, from late 2010 to 2012 Miami became unique in the national U.S. housing recovery by being the only city in 2012 where analysts estimated at 10 to 12 percent double-digit price appreciation on home values due to the high volume of international buyers paying in cash for the properties.[2] To put Miami's rapid market recovery -- fueled by international investors -- into perspective, the Miami Association of Realtors estimated that the City of Miami would break every sales record in the history of Miami -Dade County in 2011, including the condo boom years of 2006 and 2007.[3] The latest housing reports from November 2013 indicate that the market is cooling in terms of the number of sales towards a more normal pace due to the rising home prices and higher interest rates that affected the affordability of the properties. The slowdown is expected to continue during 2014 with the price increases also beginning to decrease to a more healthy market.[4] If Miami's real estate market stabilizes as is predicted and the volume of international buyers flooding the housing market diminishes, perhaps there will be room for affordable housing options to become more available for the city's residents. How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing? The FMRs represent the maximum housing cost (rent and utilities) paid by the city to landlords providing housing to tenants with Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. According to the HUD e-Con Planning Suite, FMRs are set to the dollar amount at which 40% of the standard -quality rental housing units are rented, excluding non -market rental housing. The HOME Rent limits ensure that at least one in five units in a development built using HOME funds are affordable to low- and very -low income households. Like the FMRs, the HOME rent limits include utilities and are adjusted based on the size of the unit. According to the e-Con Planning Suite, high HOME Rents are equal to the FMR or 30% of the adjusted income of a family whose income equals 65% AMI, whichever is lower. Likewise, Low HOME Rents are equal to 30% of the adjusted income of a family whose income equals 50% of AMI. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 155 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The exercise in this section requests that the HOME rent limits and FMRs applicable to the City of Miami be compared to the city's median rent. According to the 2008-2012 American Community Survey, the median gross rent (rent and utilities if separate from rent) in the City of Miami is $925. The latest Fair Market Rents (FMR) from 2014 and the high/low HOME rent are competitive when compared to the city's median in the small units with fewer bedrooms. The city's median gross rent does not disaggregate for bedroom size, therefore, it is difficult to say if special rental price provided by FMR and HOME are too high for the units with a greater number of bedrooms. Regardless, it is evident that the rental rates from the Low HOME were the most affordable when compared to the city's median rent price with only the 4-bedroom rental rates exceeding the city's median by $72. On the other hand, the largest difference is between city median rent and the FMRs, with FMRs for a 4 bedroom at more than twice the amount of the median city rent. Since the median rent in Miami is higher than the FMRs and the HOME rent limits, the city will continue to focus on producing and preserving long-term affordable housing as a successful strategy. Discussion The mismatch between the income of the average city household and the elevated real estate values has created a highly cost -burdened community. As discussed earlier in this chapter, the large volume of international cash buyers and large investment pool investors have fueled the recovery of Miami's real estate post -housing crisis affecting the affordability of both the home purchase and rental markets. According to a recent report on the rental market by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University, large investment pools amassed sizeable portfolios of foreclosed homes after the housing crash to manage the properties as rentals and, thus, creating historic shares of corporately owned single-family rentals.[1] These investment pools were most active in Miami, where they bought 30 percent of the foreclosed properties. [2] Although these new, large-scale ventures have priced out many local residents form the home purchase market —they may have been an important element in reviving the moribund housing markets after the crisis, but also might be new models for financing and managing single-family homes as rental properties that have been shunned until now by institutional investors due presumably the high cost of managing geographically dispersed properties. [3] If these business models can be profitable, they could help to expand the rental options in both the market -rate and affordable housing sectors. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 156 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing — 91.210(a) Introduction According to the 2007-2011 American Community Survey, there are 149,648 occupied units in the City of Miami of which three-quarters of this housing stock is 35 years or older. As mentioned previously in this plan, a significant (65 percent) portion of the city's residents are renters. As such, the renter - occupied housing units built before 1980 comprise 48 percent of the city's housing stock. This is significant because if almost half of the city's occupied units are renters living in the city's oldest housing stock, then the condition of housing becomes an issue worth discussing in terms of affordable housing preservation as well as exposure to lead -based paint hazards. This was found to be particularly the case in the analysis of lost assisted housing units earlier in this report that found one of the primary risk factors to losing low -rent housing stock is due to the high costs of operating and maintaining aging structures. Definitions A housing unit deemed as "substandard" is a unit that does not comply with the city's minimum housing code nor with HUD's Housing Quality Standards (HQS) for any assisted housing unit utilizing federal funding. The City of Miami Minimum Housing Code: According to the Metropolitan Miami -Dade County Minimum Housing Standards Ordinance for the City of Miami (Ordinance No. 12-111, Part III, Article III), the law requires all houses and apartments to be maintained in a safe and sanitary condition and to contain certain basic equipment in good working condition and installed to code such as a kitchen sink, lavatory, tub or shower and water closet. Specifically, the code establishes a minimum standard for light/ventilation, basic equipment, and indoor space of the housing unit, safety/sanitary requirements, and outlines the responsibilities of the owners and occupants. HUD Housing and Quality Standards (HQS): According to HUD, the HQS defines "standard housing" and establishes the minimum criteria for the health and safety of housing program participants. Generally speaking, a housing unit that is in "substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation" is in poor condition yet both structurally and financially feasible to rehabilitate. At a minimum, the unit has to pass the City of Miami Building Department's valuation to demolish unsafe structures. For context, it is first important to note the definition of a fire hazard and/or unsafe structures pursuant to the City of Miami Code Sec. 10-101, includes the following criteria, but is not limited to: • Vacant, unguarded and open at doors or windows • There is an accumulation of debris or other material therein representing a hazard of combustion • The building condition creates hazards with respect to means of egress and fire protection Consolidated Plan M IAM I 157 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • It exhibits signs of structural stress such as cracks, unusual sagging, rotting of wood members, termite damage, or if ceilings, walls and roofs are collapsing or caving -in • Water service is disconnected • Work is performed without proper permits and inspections • If the building is partially destroyed • As additionally defined in Chapter 8 of the Miami -Dade County Code or if it meets the criteria of a vacant and abandoned property under chapter 10 of the City of Miami Code Once a structure has been deemed unsafe, according to the City of Miami Code of Ordinances (Part II, Chapter 10, Article VI), the Building Department will issue an order to demolish the unit if "the cost of completion, alteration, repair and/or replacement of an unsafe building or structure or part thereof exceeds 50 percent of its value. [...]If the cost of completion, alteration, repairs and/or replacement of an unsafe building or structure or part thereof does not exceed 50 percent of its value, such building or structure may be repaired and made safe." The City of Miami has a replacement program in place for those eligible households who own sub -standard homes that need to be demolished.

MA-20.1 Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation The age of housing is commonly used by local, state and federal housing programs as a factor to estimate the condition of housing stock. Typically, most homes begin to require major repairs or rehabilitation at 30 or 40 years of age. Approximately 74 percent of homes in the City of Miami were 35 years old or older as of the 2007-2011 American Community Survey. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 159 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Rental Rehabilitation - As mentioned in the introduction to this section, 48 percent of the city's housing stock 35 years or older is occupied by renter households. A primary risk factor to losing low -rent housing stock is due to the high costs of operating and maintaining aging structures, especially large multi -family properties. Owner Rehabilitation - The Single Family Rehabilitation Program is designed to fulfill the need to preserve safe and decent housing in the City of Miami. The Program is made up of several sub -programs dedicated to improving the quality of low-income housing: Single Family Rehabilitation, Emergency Rehabilitation, and Single Family Replacement programs. Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP Hazards The leading cause of lead -based poisoning is exposure to dust from deteriorating paint in homes constructed before 1980. This is due to the high lead content used in paint during that period, particularly in homes built before 1950. Pre-1980 housing occupied by lower income households with children offer high risks of lead exposure due to poor housing conditions related to lower levels of maintenance exercised by lower income households. This is an important factor since it is not the lead paint itself that causes the hazards, but rather the deterioration of the paint that releases lead - contaminated dust and allows children to peel and eat lead -contaminated flakes. Therefore, for the purpose of this plan, the number of units built before 1980 will serve as a default baseline of units that contain lead -based paint hazards. According to the 2007-2011 ACS, there are 110,108 (74%) occupied housing units in the City of Miami that were built prior to 1980. As discussed in the introduction to this section, the great majority of these units are occupied by renters. As noted in the chart above on Risk of Lead -Based Paint Hazard and based on the definition of lead - based paint hazards noted earlier, approximately 6 percent of the owner occupied housing units built in the City of Miami before 1980 have children present, and approximately 23% of the renter occupied units in the City of Miami were built before 1980 and have children present. As noted in another section of this document, the City has been very fortunate to have not experienced high numbers of lead poisoning cases within its City zip codes for several years. To further reinforce what has been an extended downward trend in reported lead poisoning cases, the City operated a lead prevention program for single-family homes several years back -- known as the Miami Unleaded Program (MUP) -- where it also encountered relatively few cases of lead. Its program period for the MUP was from October 1, 2004 to March 31, 2008 and during that time the City tested approximately five hundred (500) units for lead; with only twenty percent (20%) of the units testing positive. In many cases, the homes that tested positive for lead, had intact paint surfaces and low levels of lead which meant remediation was not required. One conclusion that could be drawn from this is the fact that there has been much mobility in lower income neighborhoods in the City with many persons moving out, and new families moving in and thereby painting or repairing said units prior to moving in, thus effectively encapsulating lead paint and mitigating hazards. Outside of this, the lack of abatement contractors in the Greater Miami area also indicates the low threat posed by lead paint in our City. Finally, even with Consolidated Plan M IAM I 160 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) multiple community partners during the grant period, there was a very low number of referred lead poisoning cases to the MUP, which indicated a low level of threat in the community at that time. Discussion Three-quarters of the occupied units in the City of Miami is made up of housing stock that is 35 years or older —mostly by renters whom traditionally, are most vulnerable to living in structures that are deteriorating due to the high costs of operating and maintaining multi -family properties. With respect to owner -occupied units, it is mentioned previously in this plan that there are a significant number of elderly homeowners that are cost -burdened and very -low income. Single-family units of this nature are prime candidates for the city's single-family rehabilitation program. The waitlist for this program (65 homes) demonstrates a need for rehabilitation and housing preservation efforts. In part due to rising costs of materials and the need to be able to attract competent contractors, the city recently increased the maximum allowable subsidy for this program to $50,000. Unfortunately, there is not enough funding in place to meet the demand for the rehabilitation needs of both rental and owner occupied units. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 161 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-25 Public and Assisted Housing — 91.210(b) Introduction It is important to note that the DCED does not administer Public Housing within its jurisdiction. The latter is managed by another entitlement, the Public Housing & Community Development (PHCD) Department of Miami -Dade County. Nonetheless, the DCED conferred with PHCD to gather statistics on the quantity and age of public housing stock within the City of Miami's limits, along with characteristics of such housing. The attached graphic indicates what and where that stock is located within the City, based on our communications with PHCD. Of special note is the fact that over 70% of the County's public housing stock, approximately 6,700 of 9,189 units total, is within our jurisdiction (Miami). Due to the age of many of these buildings and the limited capital funding available to make repairs and renovations, the PHCD issued an RFP seeking entities willing to rehabilitate/upgrade existing public housing units, removing and replacing those that were obsolete, and increasing the number of units on underutilized sites. As noted in the PHCD's 5-year plan, 215 proposals were received from 26 developers. In the end, County administrators selected seven developers towards improvements to be made at 32 existing public housing sites. These renovations will roll out over the next several years and some are taking place at sites located within the City of Miami. The attached chart indicates which of these sites has been selected for, or is presently under, rehabilitation.

The breakdown of the unit is stated as follows: Elderly designated units = 2,598; Elderly Not -Designated Units = 2,033; Family Units = 4,456. Approximately 6700 of these units are located within the City of Miami's geographic boundaries. Upon an analysis of the public housing stock within the City's boundaries, there are a total of 64 total developments/sites. With the exception of one location built in 2005, all other developments were constructed on or before 1985 making them over 25 years old. Exactly 17 sites were built before 1970. Aside from the public housing units noted above, the City of Miami (DCED) does administer 136 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) and 268 mod -rehab units. The latter units are in 16 privately owned buildings, located primarily in the Little Havana and Liberty City neighborhoods. The buildings' combined inventory totals 15 studios, 215 one -bedroom units, and 38 two -bedroom units. Ten of these buildings were built on or before 1930. Due to their significant age, there are limitations as to the renovations possible at these sites, such as an inability to accommodate elevators. The age of the properties is obviously of concern to DCED, as is a lack of landlords interested in taking on project -based units, given the market's high demand for rental units and Miami's escalating rental rates over the past several years.

Please note, some of the sites noted in the listing are not within City limits. These include #330, 340, 351 and 361. Describe the restoration and revitalization needs of public housing units in the jurisdiction: As of February 2013, a total of five (5) public housing developments are undergoing substantial rehabilitation, including: Dante Fascell development with 151 units; Green Turnkey development with 21 units; Jack Orr Plaza with 200 units; South Miami Plaza with 97 units; and Stirrup Plaza with 100 units. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 167 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) This represents a total of 569 Public Housing units that are undergoing major rehabilitation and upgrades. An additional development, the 96-unit Joe Moretti development, is being demolished and will be replaced with a new building containing a total of 116 new Public Housing units. In addition to rehabilitation efforts at these six (6) public housing developments, PHCD also reports that a total of 200 Public Housing units, located at various developments, are in need of major rehabilitation and are currently off-line. PHCD is currently seeking funding to address the substantial rehabilitation of these 200 units in order to expeditiously bring these units back on-line. Recently, (September 2013) PHCD received confirmation that it secured a $3.5 million grant (capital funds) from U.S. HUD to make repairs to two other public housing sites within City limits -- the 200 unit Ward Tower and 475 unit Haley Sofge Towers. The monies will allow for crucial repairs at the two elderly designated public housing projects. The City of Miami also recently awarded $1,000,000 in HOME funding to Jack Orr Plaza I which will allow for the construction of 56 new public housing units at 550 NW 5 Street. Describe the public housing agency's strategy for improving the living environment of low - and moderate -income families residing in public housing: The PHCD's strategy works on several different fronts, and includes the following: Renovate or modernize public housing units: Implement FY 2011-2016 Capital Fund 5-Year Action Plan. Utilize contractors for projects presented in the Five Year Action Plan. Continue the Job Order Contracts (JOC) program as necessary which is a rapid method of contracting from a pool of pre-screened group of contractors to do vacant unit repairs. The units are inspected by PHCD staff, and a list of line items are selected from a pre-set unit price table containing a number of repairs with "fixed prices". Provide replacement public housing: Coordinate with various agencies to make best efforts to identify Annual Contribution Contract (ACC) equivalent units within the HOPE VI Target Area for low-income families and elderly persons. The HOPE VI Target Area (TA) boundary is defined in BCC Resolution R- 1416-08 as bound by NW 119th Street to the North, NW 7th Avenue to the East, NW 36th Street to the South, and NW 32nd Avenue to the West. The target area encompasses large portions of both the Model City NRSA and the West Little River NRSA, two (2) of the County's most economically challenged target areas. Improve public housing management (PHAS Score): Continue with the Quality Assurance Review (QAR) program of residents' files. Continue the applicability of the Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) Improve voucher management (SEMAP Score). Maintain or improve the current SEMAP Score of 83%. Increase customer satisfaction: Provide improved communication with management and referral services to residents. Continue the use of customer surveys for the Section 8 Program to assess and improve upon communications. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 168 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Concentrate on efforts to improve specific management functions: Deliver timely and quality maintenance services to public housing residents. Maintain preventive maintenance efforts. Discussion: City administrators are concerned about their 268 Section 8 moderate rehabilitation units, specifically because many of these units are in buildings that are very old and in need of extensive repairs. Aside from this, some of this program's buildings were constructed over 50 years ago and cannot accommodate an elevator to the second floor. Because most of the mod -rehab program's participants are elderly, this becomes a significant limitation when a unit on a second floor opens up. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 169 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-30 Homeless Facilities and Services — 91.210(c) Introduction All facilities and services in the community for the homeless fall under the purview of the Miami -Dade County CoC, with the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust (Trust) serving as the CoC Administrator. In 1993, the Board of County Commissioners created the Trust with several crucial functions including: 1) to administer proceeds of a unique one -percent food and beverage (F&B) tax dedicated to homeless and domestic violence services (85% of the funds toward homeless and 15% toward domestic violence services); 2) to implement the local Continuum of Care (CoC) plan, a three -phased plan called the Miami -Dade County Community Homeless Plan (the Plan); and 3) to serve in an advisory capacity to the Board of County Commissioners on issues involving homelessness. The Trust's annual budget is approximately $49 million, comprised of the F&B proceeds (local), federal funding (HUD), state funding, and some private sector contributions. The Trust receives no general fund dollars from the County. The Chapman Partnership for the Homeless (CPH) is the local private sector partner to the County, through the Trust. It is a not -for -profit organization that was tasked with siting, building and operating up to three Homeless Assistance Centers (HACs). Two HACs have been built to date, one in South Miami Dade (28500 SW 125 Avenue) and the second in the Downtown Miami area (1550 North Miami Avenue). The HACs are campus -style facilities that serve as one -stop centers and take a holistic approach to addressing the needs of the clients. Victims Response, Inc. operates the Northwest Dade Domestic Violence Center and plans for a second domestic violence center in South Miami -Dade are in the works. Other facilities providing beds within the CoC are listed in the attached Housing Inventory Count (2013), as provided to U.S. HUD by the CoC. The bed counts noted in this section were compiled based on this attachment.

Please note, the CoC compiles bed counts for the entire Miami -Dade County area, and as such a percentage of the above beds noted in this list are outside of the City of Miami geographic area. *Please note, the COC did not define any units as Chronically Homeless Households at the time this CON PLAN was drafted, and as such there was no data available to address this category. Consequently, this line item is zero, across the board. Some of the beds identified in the above paragraph are used for the chronically homeless. About the Services The Trust is not a direct service provider. Rather, it is responsible for the implementation of policy initiatives developed by the 27-member Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust Board, and the monitoring of contract compliance by agencies contracted with the County, through the Trust, for the provision of housing and services for homeless persons. The Trust is the lead agency in relation to the PIT count and the HMIS system. It works along with the rest of the CoC through its Board and Committees, in setting across-the-board performance standards and guidelines for all of those entities associated with serving the homeless, or persons at risk of homelessness.

T)canihm< i �•: MIAMI 182 Describe mainstream services, such as health, mental health, and employment services to the extent those services are used to complement services targeted to homeless persons Through a competitive cycle, the Trust receives, reviews and them recommends funding allocations to public or private non-profit organizations throughout the year. These processes (Request for Proposals, Request for Applications) follow the county's procurement procedures. Contracts are executed with agencies selected for funding, following approval by the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust in their advisory capacity to the Board of County Commissioners. The level of funding available and the funding priorities for each competitive process are developed and approved by the Homeless Trust. A recap of some of the services provided in the requested categories (health, mental health, and employment) are as follows: Health Services: Camillus House Concern - This service -only program provides comprehensive medical services, including health care and medical screening services with follow-up visits to homeless adults and children (with guardians), along with case management and transportation to and from appointments. Better Way of Miami, Inc. provides supportive services on a long-term basis for homeless persons with disabilities (primary diagnosis of chronic substance abuse) who may be dual diagnosed and/or have AIDS or related diseases with clients being unsheltered or in emergency shelters or from transitional housing beds. Mental Health Services: Camillus House Behavioral Health Outpatient Treatment provides outpatient mental health treatment services as well as referrals with targeted clientele being on -the -street, mentally -ill homeless persons. Citrus Health Network, Inc. provides several programs (Crossroads, SSO MATT) that extend behavioral, mental, and health care services to eligible persons. Employment Services: Jewish Community Services of South Florida administers Project HOPE (Homeless Outreach Program for Employment) and offers job screenings/assessments, labor/vocational training, and job counseling to homeless individuals in Miami -Dade County. Miami -Dade County Public Schools operates on -site adult and vocational classes and job training at the two Homeless Assistance Centers. List and describe services and facilities that meet the needs of homeless persons, particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. If the services and facilities are listed on screen SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure or screen MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services, describe how these facilities and services specifically address the needs of these populations. For the Chronically Homeless (CH) -- As noted in its latest update to the local CoC homeless plan, titled Priority Home, assisting the CH population as expeditiously as possible is a top priority with efforts to include: continue expanding the development of permanent housing units for CH including the set - aside of 200 beds for the CH, plus 50 more for CH families, in existing Trust -funded PSH programs as a condition of renewal funding while also continuing the operation of the case rate program to place the CH service resistant persons. Families with Children -- Families who are encountered by outreach on the street, call the centralized helpline (toll -free Homeless Helpline) or come into an outreach office are immediately placed into either emergency housing or, in the event no beds are available, are authorized Consolidated Plan MIAMI 183 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) for temporary hotel placement (funded with the local Food and Beverage (F&B) tax of City of Miami ESG funds) and provided with food vouchers. Families can also request assistance including legal services for landlord mediation and client education, both funded by the F&B. Also, the Trust funded emergency and transitional housing programs have a relationship with the public school system so that designated program staff are responsible for ensuring children are enrolled in school and connected to appropriate services, including Head Start, Part C of Individuals with Disabilities Act and McKinney-Vento. The CoC's priority is to keep families with children under the age of 18, intact. Veterans -- The Veteran's Administrations Homeless Program is an active member of the CoC. Referrals of chronically homeless veterans are prioritized by chronicity (a version of 100,000 Homes) and placed from the street into VASH, HUD or Trust -funded programs. The Trust funds (F&B) set aside emergency beds at the Salvation Army for referrals from the VA; has built transitional housing for homeless veterans at its South -Dade location, the former Homestead Airbase operated by Camillus House from SHP & VA Grant Per Diem (GPD) funds; and, the CoC funds Carrfour's PH/TH SHP program on Miami Beach (SHP and GPD). The Trust emails daily HMIS bed availability reports to the VA staff to facilitate referrals to available CoC beds. Miami -Dade County and Miami Beach administer the VASH. Unaccompanied Youth - To better quantify this population, in the summer of 2013 volunteers conducted a specific first-time count of homeless youth in our community. Called iCount, volunteers sought to identify unaccompanied and unstably housed youth, ages 12-24, throughout Miami -Dade County. There is presently a small sheltered population served at the Miami Bridge's two Runaway and Homeless Youth Shelters (capacity: 68 beds). The CoC works with Our Kids, the State Department of Children & Families private sector partner overseeing youth exiting foster care. A special HPRP program exists for Our Kids youth and Camillus House recently completed an 8 unit building in downtown Miami serving youth exiting foster care with case management provided by Our Kids. Citrus Health Network (Citrus) provides the FRAT program for homeless youth between ages 18-25 with disabilities unable to live independently, and Lotus House provides 25 emergency beds for single women 18-25. Rapid Re -Housing & Homelessness Prevention - Utilizing several service centers throughout the County, the Housing Assistance Network of Dade (HAND) program focuses on facilitating housing relocation and providing temporary rental assistance to those who are homeless or at -risk of homelessness, assisting families to become housed as rapidly as possible, complemented by supportive services to ensure that the family is stabilized and can retain that housing after the short- or medium -term assistance has ended. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 184 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d) Introduction This section must define the facilities and services that assist persons who are not homeless but require supportive housing/programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental/physical health institutions receive appropriate housing. If the jurisdiction plans to use HOME or other TBRA to assist one or more of these sub -populations, the plan must justify the need for such assistance in its Consolidated Plan. We do not have information for this section at this time, as the City of Miami does not operate any programs or activities for persons returning from mental/physical health institutions. HOPWA Assistance Baseline Table Type of HOWA Assistance Number of Units Designated or Available for People with HIV/AIDS and their families TBRA 1,057 PH in facilities 37 STRMU 60 ST or TH facilities 0 PH placement 0 Table 42— HOPWA Assistance Baseline Alternate Data Source Name: Final Caper 12-13 Data Source Comments: Default Data Source is not working properly. Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing needs Public Housing - As identified in the most recent Five-year Miami -Dade County Strategic Plan (Public Housing), the County will continue to identify supportive services to increase the independence of elderly or families with disabilities that reside in public housing and it also administers ROSS Grants to assist families in public housing with self-sufficiency training, job placement, and educational opportunities for early childhood and grade school academic improvement. As the Public Housing administrator, the County is also looking to increase resident participation requirements for social service providers operating at public housing sites by requiring community organizations that provide Consolidated Plan M IAM I 185 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) services at these locations to have at least 50% of their clients be public housing residents, and if not, the organization must show good cause for not meeting that goal. Persons with HIV/AIDS - The last County -wide survey of PLWH/As showed that 83.5% rejected AIDS -only housing with a preference for tenant -based rental assistance, and the HOPWA program's budget reflects this with the bulk of funding utilized towards running a successful TBRA program, County -wide. The latter requires housing -related service support and has proven key to the reduction of eviction, program termination, homelessness and loss of access to care and treatment that otherwise would have been at risk due to the above factors. It is extremely important to take into account that the rate of persons surviving with the disease and the level of poverty within the PLWH/A population are placing significant pressure on the already limited resources available for housing assistance and other housing -related support services. Aside from this while utilizing HOPWA dollars, the City presently funds 69 set -aside, project based units for PLWA5 at seven different buildings throughout Miami -Dade County. Of these units, 20 are specifically for formerly homeless PLWAs. Meanwhile, another 12 set -aside units are currently under construction in South -Dade and 18 units are off-line due to the required rehabilitation of the building. The project -based units allow the DCED to offer permanent supportive housing to consumers seeking more intensive case management support with linkage to community services and care, primarily in projects with mixed populations (extremely low to low- income households with varying disabilities and some cases mixed with income -limited households without disabilities). Elderly - As addressed in Section NA-45 of this CP, the Alliance for the Aging gathers information from staff and tracks calls to the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC). When asked to prioritize which additional housing resources are needed for people age 60 and over, Alliance staff and volunteers identified the following (by order of importance): more housing options (80%); home repairs/maintenance (75%); short-term rental assistance (69.2%); chores, such as basic home or yard work (57.5%); homelessness prevention (55%); wheelchair ramps (55%); and assisted living facilities (45%). Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions receive appropriate supportive housing In 2007, Miami -Dade County underwent a process to implement a cohesive community -wide discharge coordination policy via the Continuum of Care (CoC). As a result of that process, the County developed a Memoranda of Agreement establishing discharge policies for all agencies that provide services to homeless persons or those at risk of homelessness. The interagency Agreement includes the Miami - Dade Homeless Trust, State and County Correction agencies, the 11th Circuit Court, Jackson Memorial Hospital/Public Health Trust, community mental health facilities, Our Kids, Inc., and the Florida Department of Children and Families. The non -homeless special needs population faces many needs. The needs include rental assistance, dietary and medical/medication assistance, counseling, and job training, among others. Some of the Consolidated Plan MIAMI 186 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) community programs, services and facilities available to serve these needs include, but are not limited to: Camillus House; Citrus Health; The Sundari Foundation, Inc.; Contractor's Resource Center; Curley's House of Style; and, Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers. Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e) Even though the city considers assistance to persons with special needs a priority, it has been extremely challenging to continuously support this segment of our population as funding is scarce, forcing the city to concentrate its already limited resources in activities that address other citywide high-level priorities. The county has programs that provide supportive services to people with special needs which are tied up to public housing located mainly within city boundaries, assisting city residents. For entitlement/consortia grantees: Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. (91.220(2)) Consolidated Plan MIAMI 187 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.210(e) Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment Land Use and Zoning City land use policies play a significant role in determining the amount and availability of affordable housing within a community. City land use policy guides the location of housing types and densities. Zoning is the planning tool for implementing housing development and regulating its construction. Through zoning incentives, private and non-profit developers can help a city address the housing needs of its low- and moderate -income population. Moreover zoning incentives that increase the density of housing development and provide for a mix of uses including transit, are important tools for expanding the local supply of both affordable homeownership and renter housing. Public Infrastructure Public infrastructure investment is an important catalyst for housing development activity; examples of improvements include, but are not limited to: street conditions, street lighting, street signs, sidewalks, curbing, adequate storm water drainage, and landscapes/streetscapes (including signage) in the neighborhood. Public infrastructure investment has been used successfully in South Florida when targeted to community redevelopment areas or when improvements are made in conjunction with purchase/rehabilitation housing programs. While the city has dedicated significant funds towards capital improvements in the Downtown area (i.e. the Port) and in the business districts of many of the neighborhoods, it is clearly evident that many residential streets within the city's NDZs lack adequate public infrastructure. Not only does this detract from the physical aesthetics of the streets and surrounding neighborhoods, it also transmits a message that there are not enough monies to work on those neighborhoods. MA-40.1 Predatory Lending Predatory Lending Although predatory lending -- evident throughout the housing boom -- does not pertain to public policy, there were great repercussions to the city in terms of lost tax revenue, cost in maintaining abandoned properties, as well as other consequences that came from the destabilization of neighborhoods. According to the City of Miami's 2005-2010 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, conducted at the height of the housing boom, the report found that many minorities and single women were automatically steered towards more expensive FHA loans or subprime loans without consideration of their credit rating. There was also great concern expressed about predatory lending. The report findings help explain the high levels of pre -foreclosures and foreclosures in the city in the aftermath of the housing bust. The following is an excerpt from the report: Consolidated Plan M IAM I 188 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • The City of Miami is a majority minority city; therefore, the high percentage of FHA loans to minorities (85 percent) can be expected. Most of the originated loans were from substantially minority census tracts (99 percent) and in moderate income level census tracts (57 percent). • Though the majority of the originated FHA loans were made to minorities, a significant portion of those loans were made to Hispanics (68 percent) totaling approximately $40,114,000 (75 percent) of the dollars. Black applicants comprised 13 percent of the originated loans for a total of $5,593,000 (10 percent). It is interesting to note that when considering the total originated loans, black applicants were more likely to have an FHA originated loan than white applicants, while whites were more likely than black applicants to originate a loan in general. • There are two particular trends to note: 1) When studying the total number of approved loans (originated and approved but not accepted), subprime loans followed a similar trend as the FHA loans in which black applicants were more likely to receive a subprime loan than white applicants, white applicants were more likely to receive a loan in general. 2) Though more black applicants received a subprime loan than white applicants, white applicants were lent approximately $3,968,000 more than black applicants. • When income patterns in subprime lending were analyzed they revealed surprising results. Fifty- five percent of the originated loans were made to upper -income applicants who constituted approximately 66 percent of the total dollars lent with subprime loans. Together upper- and middle -income applicants (the top two income tiers) made up 81 percent of the originated subprime loans and 86 percent of the total dollars lent in the same category. Equally as surprising, though upper income applicants had the greatest number of originated loans, only 9 percent of the total originated loans were made in substantially upper income census tracts. The majority (45 percent) of the subprime loans were made in substantially moderate -income census tracts. MA-40.2 Mismatch between Cost and Wages Mismatch between a Prohibitive Real Estate Market and Stagnant Wages Again, this barrier is not a policy issue, but worth noting due to the immensity of the problem. As mentioned throughout this report, Miami and the surrounding area is considered one of the least affordable metropolitan areas in the nation. The large affordability gaps are caused by two critical variables: (1)the high concentration of low median household incomes in the City of Miami, and (2)overinflated real estate prices. This is evident in the analysis described earlier in this report that found staggering rates of cost -burden among more than half of the city's residents and affordability gaps in both the rental and home purchase market. Furthermore, many low-income city residents still don't have the credit history or job security needed to receive a mortgage for a market -rate home, and the situation may worsen if there isn't an improvement to the unemployment rate. Below is a review of a few of the key points discussed in the Needs Assessment and Market Analysis on this issue: Consolidated Plan M IAM I 189 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • The South Florida Business Journal reported that the Miami/South Florida area was ranked 21st for housing affordability out of the 25 largest metropolitan areas —down from 14th the previous year due to rising housing prices and interest rates together with stagnant incomes. • The Center for Housing Policy named Miami the least affordable city in the nation after a study found that moderate income households were severely cost -burdened with 72 percent of their income dedicated to housing and transportation expenses. • Despite corrections to the housing market, from late 2010 to 2012 Miami is unique in the national U.S. housing recovery by being the only city in 2012 where analysts estimate double- digit price appreciation on home values at 10 to 12 percent, due to the high volume of international buyers paying in cash for the properties. This rapid market recovery was fueled by international investors and private pools of funds. It was estimated that the City of Miami would break every sales record in the history of Miami -Dade County in 2011, including the sales the condo boom years of 2006 and 2007. • A staggering 67 percent of the households in the City of Miami earn 80 percent or less than the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI). The Miami area job market was defined by a hiring slump in 2013 that further aggravates the mismatch between income and cost of living. • A staggering portion of the cost -burdened (79 percent) and severely cost -burdened (69 percent) households in the city of Miami are renters, in what is a majority renter city. • In the past few decades, rental affordability has become a widespread problem. A report by the Miami -Dade County Department of Planning and Zoning shows that gross rent in the county from 1980 to 2000 was well below the 30 percent affordability threshold, but costs continued to escalate. By 2006, the average renter was spending more than 27 percent of income on rent, and the share of cost -burdened renters rose to 64.5 percent, from 47.1 percent in 2000. According to the Joint Center for Affordable Housing at Harvard University, the problem is that rent levels have grown faster than renter income. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 190 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-45 Non -Housing Community Development Assets — 91.215 (f) Introduction An analysis of the data below indicates that a huge bulk of Miami's population has an educational attainment that only reaches high school levels (GED/Alternative equivalent). Because education levels are usually tied to compensation levels, this is a telling indicator of the employment struggles Miami faces in light of the cost of living. Aside from this, the area suffered a significant loss of jobs during the recession and steadily maintained one of the highest unemployment levels in the country for months if not years, with that average now around 9%. Since the recession, workforce leaders have been strategizing on how to facilitate our local economy's recovery, while simultaneously planning for a more stable, and strong economy in the future. This brainstorming encompasses, amongst other elements, how to create the new, permanent jobs required by our growing economy while working with the education community to provide the training required to support the growth of those industries. To that end, the Beacon Council Economic Development Foundation, Inc., a not -for -profit corporation created exclusively to compile, prepare and publish statistical data related to Miami -Dade County, while combating community deterioration and lessening the burdens of government, is leading the cause and spearheading the creation and finalization of the One Community, One Goal Strategic Plan, a new Miami -Dade County Targeted Industry Study and diversification plan. The four issued reports, prepared by Avalanche Consulting, McCallum Sweeting Consulting, and the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning, are meant to align all workforce development, economic development, and marketing activities amongst all of Miami -Dade County's municipalities around a shared objective. The reports also point out some of the challenges and local needs that should be addressed in order to meet our cities' maximum potentials. To that end, we turn to the One Community, One Goal Strategic Plan to answer many of the questions in this section. Most of the analyses were conducted recently (2012) and involved the participation of over 50+ community partners, both private and public, numerous public meetings and a community survey.

When looking into the major employment sectors in Miami, the Business Activity table above indicates that Education and Health Services is the top sector, accounting for 19% of the City's labor force and a 20% share of jobs. That's followed by the Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations sector which accounts for 17% of the workers in the City and a 16% share of jobs. Rounding out the third highest sector in the Business Activity table is Retail Trade, which sits at 15% of the labor force and an 11% share of jobs. When adding the number of workers in these three sectors alone, the total is 54,100 which means that Consolidated Plan M IAM I 194 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) just over half of the workers in all of the identified sectors are in fact working in these three top sectors based on the chart provided. When looking at the occupations by sector with the highest employee counts, data indicates that approximately 32,000 persons are in the Management, Business and Financial sector, some 29,000 are in Sales and Office Related sector, and another 26,000 are in the Service sector. Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community: As identified in Report 4 of the One Community, One Goal Strategic Plan (issuance May 2012), the following are some of the infrastructure needs mentioned for the business community (page 8): improve intermodal capacity and connectivity, increase the availability of distribution facility space, continue investing in Port Miami infrastructure, increase funding for regional transportation improvements, utilize land use strategy to consider target industry needs, add non-stop flights to major international cities, and engage in campaigns improving the external perception of Miami International Airport. Additional needs identified (page 9) include supporting the implementation of an expanded Miami -Dade County Free Trade Zone, advocating for the expansion of the Visa Waiver Program to countries in this hemisphere, establishing free trade agreements with additional countries, and marketing the area's economic development on a national and worldwide level. The workforce needs identified in Report 3 of the One Community, One Goal Strategic Plan (issued March 2012) indicate the following findings as the most identifiable needs for Miami -Dade County's employers: retaining talent, matching college output with job demand, stronger digital literacy and capabilities amongst job candidates, career guidance and awareness learning support via the education system, lifelong learning by leveraging and expanding the capabilities of currently employed adult workers, and multi-lingual training. Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. The City has applied for an investment visa (EB5) regional center from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Department (INS) that would spur international investments and job growth. The center would support qualified international investments of at least $500,000 into approved projects that fit the EB5 criteria for targeted employment areas. Investments are to go towards projects in industry sectors that help create or maintain at least 10 full-time permanent jobs for US workers. Investors are screened and licensed by Citizenship and Immigration Services for security. The application's targeted areas for investment include real estate, renovation, restoration, medical, hotel and academia. If approved, Miami would be the second US city to have a city -owned regional center. Enterprise Zones (EZ) - Portions of the City fall within the boundaries of the local Enterprise Zone's (EZ) North -Dade region (No. 1301), administered by the Miami -Dade County Department of Public Housing and Community Development. The State of Florida and the County established Enterprise Zones to encourage business development, expansion and job creation in economically distressed areas. Businesses which locate or expand in an EZ and hire employees who live in the zone can reduce their Consolidated Plan MIAMI 195 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) State and Miami -Dade County tax liability. The original 1995 legislation has been reauthorized through 2015 with ten-year measurable County goals to include: Promoting private investment with the objective of $186 million investment in business equipment and building materials; Job creation through tax abatement with the objective of 3,928 jobs created; Increase private investment through tax abatement with the objective of $278.5 million in private investment; and, Job creation through tax credits and refunds with the objective of 9,700 jobs created. The City of Miami and the U.S. Small Business Administration signed a Strategic Alliance Memorandum (SAM) in May 2013 to develop a renewed working relationship to foster small business development and expansion. The SBA South Florida District provides counseling, access to capital, and business expansion through government contracting in the City, and over 20 free or low cost business workshops with Miami's SCORE chapter have been held. Since October 1st, SBA has approved 144 loans in the City for $54,671,000. Last fiscal year, SBA approved 285 loans for $118,941,200. Recently, community leaders have started to work on a very concerted effort to bring technological companies to South Florida given the area's accessibility to Latin America, and efforts are under way to launch the first ever Tech Conference of the Americas. Also on the tech front, LAB Miami opened in the heart of Wynwood in 2011 as a campus for social and tech innovation and serves as the epicenter in Miami's growing start-up tech hub. Its 10,000 square foot location is part co -working space (for 54 companies), with an in-house community of angels and venture investors, and part center for learning, with classes, workshops and special events (Lab Miami. http://thelabrats.tumblr.com/). Also, Miami Dade College recently celebrated the launch of 10,000 Small Businesses Miami in partnership with Goldman Sachs. The goal of 10,000 Small Businesses Miami is to provide small business owners in the greater Miami area with access to practical business education, expert advice and coaching, and powerful networking opportunities to help them grow their businesses. Through the support of the Goldman Sachs Foundation, business owners selected to participate will receive a scholarship covering the full cost of tuition and program materials. How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? In its analysis of college output with job demand, the One Community, One Goal Plan found that there was an imbalance in the workforce supply -demand situation. Undersupply exists in Marketing & Accounting graduates and Computer Science/Software graduates, while oversupply exists on the biomedical engineering/biology/nursing and creative design concentrations. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. The South Florida Workforce (SFW) operates 13 career centers located throughout Miami -Dade County, two of which are located in the City of Miami (Little Havana and Wynwood). The SFW awarded the City a $990,000 grant to establish a 14th Workforce Career Center at Lindsey Hopkins Technical Education Center near Jackson Memorial Hospital to provide services to several City neighborhoods to fund individual training accounts, on-the-job training and paid -work experience for eligible participants Consolidated Plan MIAMI 196 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) during the 12-13 program year. SFW is a member of Workforce Florida, Inc., the statewide, business -led workforce policy board that develops strategies to help Floridians enter and advance in the workforce while supporting economic development priorities and strengthening the state's business climate. Workforce Florida — along with the State's 24 Regional Workforce Boards — were created in 2000 by the Florida Workforce Innovation Act. Miami -Dade County Public Schools, the fourth largest school system in the United States, is also Florida's largest provider of adult and vocational training. It offers programs throughout the County including: (1) adult education classes, including ESOL to improve English skills and GED to prepare for high school equivalency tests at a low cost; (2) 73 different low-cost vocational training, as well as affordable community education courses; and (3) free academic counseling, basic skills assessment, career counseling, and job -placement assistance for our students. The Hospitality Institute is a program of Miami Dade College - International Hospitality Center, located in the Overtown neighborhood of the City of Miami. It was established to connect job opportunities in the local hospitality and tourism industry with Miami's inner city residents through customer service and job readiness training. The Institute is funded through grants from the Southeast Overtown/ParkWest and Community Redevelopment Agencies of the City of Miami. The Institute operates five-day programs, four times a year, at the Greater Bethel A.M.E. Church in Overtown. Community outreach organizations screen and recommend participants from their programs. Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? No If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. Seven50 ("Seven Counties, 50 Years") is a blueprint for growing a more prosperous, more desirable Southeast Florida during the next 50 years and beyond. The plan is being developed to help ensure socially inclusive communities, a vibrant and resilient economy, and stewardship of the fragile ecosystem in what is quickly becoming one of the world's most important mega -regions. Spearheaded by the South Florida and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Councils and the Southeast Florida Regional Partnership (SFRP), a unique collaboration of more than 200 public, private, and civic stakeholders, Seven50 is mapping the strategy for the best -possible quality of life for the more than six million residents of Monroe, Miami -Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties. The plan is being devised through a series of public summits, workshops, online outreach and high -impact studies led by the region's top thinkers.Seven50 has been made possible by a grant from the US Department of Housing & Urban Development's Sustainable Communities Initiative. Also, in the summer of 2013 the City of Miami and the U.S. Small Business Administration signed a Strategic Alliance Memorandum (SAM) in 2013. The SAM agreement will develop and foster mutual understanding and a Consolidated Plan MIAMI 197 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) renewed working relationship between the City and the SBA to foster small business development and expansion. Discussion It bears mention, that City and County officials have long been in discussions with All Aboard Florida, a subsidiary of Florida East Coast Industries (FECI) in regards to the eventual development of a privately financed $1.5 billion train station/rail way that would connect Miami to Orlando, with planned stops in Broward and West Palm Beach. The Miami hub is planned for a nine -acre site that falls inside the Overtown CRA boundaries (the westernmost part of downtown Miami) and All Aboard executives indicate that in addition to transportation, they plan on creating a mixed -use development with apartments, offices, commercial space, retail, restaurants and other amenities. Now Miami -Dade County Transit administrators, who oversee the public bus system throughout the County (including Miami), are in discussions with the company to consider the feasibility of a potential integration of a major bus hub at the site. All Aboard Florida executives indicate their current project would bring 6,000 temporary jobs and 1,000 permanent positions, and a proposed start date of sometime in FY2014-2015 has been announced. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 198 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") With some of the highest concentrations of poverty, segregation, low educational attainment, homelessness, and HIV/AIDS in the nation, the City of Miami is one of the most difficult redevelopment areas in the country. Problems such as cost -burdened households, overcrowding, and unemployment are widespread throughout the city. Given the scope and severity of these problems, a concentrated neighborhood level approach to community development is necessary. As such, the 2014-2019 Consolidated Plan continues to support the approach to community development introduced ten years ago. Under this system, the city targets distressed neighborhoods which are in most need of assistance, known as Neighborhood Development Zones (NDZs). Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") Included in this report are a variety of maps and tables that illustrate how demographic patterns of income, race and ethnicity reveal great disparity and insular racial and ethnic enclaves. The LMI census tract map provided in this plan shows the concentration of low -moderate -income households as defined by HUD. In addition, the census block group based on race illustrates how the Black population is clustered north of downtown and the Hispanic population is concentrated in the Southern and Western portions of the City. As mentioned previously in the Needs Assessment, the dissimilarity index of the City of Miami from 1980 to 2010 confirms that the city's racial groups are significantly segregated. According to the data from Brown University's US2010 dissimilarity index, it is worthy to note that Miami's Black community consistently rates very high in dissimilarity with all of the other groups and across decades. In fact, it is the only group to consistently score a value above 60. In 2010, the Black/White (75.5), Black/Hispanic (77.2), and Black/Asian (76.9) values clearly demonstrates that the city's Black community is the most concentrated racial category. Review of the city maps by income reveal that these segregated communities are also where much of the city's low-income residents are concentrated validating in part the results of the Needs Assessment that there may be a disproportionately greater need to address housing problems in Miami's Black neighborhoods. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Consolidated Plan M IAM I 199 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Refer to the tables listing community assets, planned or recent investments, and recent completions of affordable housing units. The list is not exhaustive, but it is comprehensive and provides a good sense of the assets and opportunities within each NDZ and District 4 (that does not have a NDZ.)

MA-50.8 Consolidated Plan M IAM I 206 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Strategic Plan SP-05 Overview Strategic Plan Overview Through a comprehensive effort which involved public, private, not -for -profit agencies, the city analyzed current internal and external factors affecting the progress of its community and economic development strategies. It further analyzed programs, policies, and services the city currently provides and what has provided in the past to attend to the needs of its residents in order to maximize the effectiveness of the delivery process for its services. During the past few years, the DCED has learned that its approach needs to be flexible and that it must rapidly adapt to changing external forces which hinder the city's efforts to attain the goals of its strategic plan. The priorities outlined in the strategic plan represent the goals, priorities, resources, programs, and policies designed to address the city's social, economic, and housing needs in the next five years. The approach of this plan is to address the aforementioned into a single component aimed at reducing the number of poverty -level families and individuals. The expected results of this unified process is to spur economic revitalization while preserving and creating affordable housing opportunities without neglecting the most basic and essential services for city residents. The DCED's vision is to "utilize the grant funds it receives from federal and state government sources to carry out various community development activities that aide in providing decent housing, suitable living environments, improved community facilities and services, and the expansion of economic opportunities for the disadvantaged so as to assist those least likely to benefit from the economic growth projected for the City." This vision is supported by the city's priority needs and its target areas or Neighborhood Development Zones. The DCED's mission is to "assist in creating a viable urban community for the most needy persons in our City while reducing poverty, embracing diversity, assisting with economic development, and improving the overall quality of life." The goals set forth in the city's strategic plan are in line with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's system to measure performance - 1) Create suitable living environments - which is done through an array of housing and economic development initiatives and programs the DCED offers in an effort to enhance the livability of neighborhoods by sustaining and providing economic opportunities to businesses and residents in addition to maintaining and improving the current housing stock; 2) Provide decent affordable housing - this is attained by supporting programs that increase the number affordable housing units available to low -to -moderate income households through new construction and/or rehabilitation and by assisting such households obtain safe and sanitary affordable permanent housing; and 3) Create economic opportunities - the DCED supports job creation and/or retention as Consolidated Plan M IAM I 207 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) well as assistance to small and micro businesses which are catalysts of economic prosperity. The combination and successful application of programs in line with these performance measures create the synergy necessary to infuse capital and contribute toward the revitalization of these neighborhoods. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 208 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-10 Geographic Priorities — 91.215 (a)(1) Geographic Area 1 Area Name: Allapattah NDZ Area Type: Local Target area Other Target Area Description: HUD Approval Date: of Low/ Mod: Revital Type: Comprehensive Other Revital Description: Identify the neighborhood boundaries for this target area. The Allapattah NDZ is comprised of ten block groups. These are as follows: 25011, 25012, 25013, 25014, 25021, 25022, 25023, 29001, 29002, and 29003. The boundaries of this NDZ (see map) run roughly from just west of the I- 95 Expressway to 17th Avenue to the west, running to Northwest 36th Street and south to Northwest 20th Street. According to the ACS 2007-2012, this NDZ's population is 14,561 persons with 11,321 total households. Approximately 56% of this NDZ's population is low -to -moderate income. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 209 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Include specific housing and commercial characteristics of this target area. According to the ACS 2007-2012, there are 4,512 units in this NDZ area, where 77.22% of the units are renter occupied and 22.78% of the units are owner -occupied. The commercial characteristics of this NDZ tend to relate to the Civic Center, also known as the Health District, which is located in the general Allapatah area and is composed of primarily hospitals, medical centers, biotechnology industries, research institutions and testing laboratories. Together this cluster is one of the largest medical footprints in the country and is the center of Miami's growing biotechnology and medical research industry. The six hospitals located in the Health District are: University of Miami Hospital (560 beds), the flagship hospital of the University of Miami Health System (UHealth); Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital and home to the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute (35 beds); University of Miami Hospital Clinics and home to the Sylvester Cancer Center (40 beds), the only University -based cancer center in Florida; Jackson Memorial Hospital (1,696 beds), rated among the best hospitals in the nation; Holtz Children's Hospital (254 beds), home to one of the largest neonatal intensive care units in the country. Bruce W. Carter Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (191 beds), caring for veterans throughout the greater Miami area. Allapattah is also well known for its produce market, and the Allapattah produce district is bounded approximately by NW 10th Avenue to the east and NW 17th Avenue to west and between NW 20th and 24th Streets. The largest open-air food distribution center in Miami, serves local supermarkets and "bodegas" alike with the freshest variety of South Florida produce, tropical fruits and many other products. The Produce District is considered a major employment center and has been estimated to have over 2,000 employees, primarily in low to semi -skilled capacity that is consistent with skills of the inner city workforce. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 210 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) How did your consultation and citizen After extensive consultation with City leaders and participation process help you to gathering comments and information at the public identify this neighborhood as a target hearings held during the summer of 2013, the DCED then area? further analyzes the most recent Census reports to better identify a more specific area as a target area. Subsequently, DCED staff then conducts an informal field inspection or windshield survey to get a first-hand look at the area. Identify the needs in this target area. At the public hearing held on August 12, 2013, several concerned citizens expressed a request for street lighting efforts, specifically along the Northwest 17 Avenue corridor, from NW 14 Street to NW 36 Street, with the ultimate goal of creating a safer neighborhood. Other participants mentioned a concern for elderly and childcare services, and the facade program. In the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 2012 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), feedback from public outreach and special interest group meetings indicated that,"the City and University of Miami needed to collaborate on the redevelopment of the Health District to have a more University Campus feel."

There are affordable residential opportunities also on the horizon, including the planned development of The Pearl Apartments which would be a new construction on the very edge of this NDZ, along NW 17th Avenue and 34th Street, adding 100 affordable rental units for seniors, and the potential development of two tax credit projects off of NW 7th Avenue and NW 24th and 26th Street which upon completion, would add another 180 affordable rental units to the NDZ's stock (Pinnacle Oasis and Pinnacle Paradise). Although located outside of this NDZ, the nearby River Landing SAP which encompasses the area around 1480 NW North River Drive, could mean significant changes for the entire area. A developer recently submitted plans for the redevelopment of nearly nine acres on the site of the Mahi Shrine building on the Miami River, adjacent to Miami -Dade County's criminal justice center and the Jackson Memorial Hospital "Health District." The proposed $150 million development calls for replacing the auditorium and its parking lot with a stacked big -box retail building, about 440 market -rate residential units in two towers and waterfront restaurants along the public river walk. River Landing would fill an underserved market niche by providing housing, a supermarket and affordable chain retail to the tens of thousands of workers in the justice complex and the health district (the Jackson complex alone has an estimated 55,000 daily workers and visitors), while also drawing residents from surrounding working-class neighborhoods. Recently, private developers also announced plans to break ground in 2014 on a restaurant and retail project in the Health District toMtgly named Shops of Civica. Plans for the site 212 include a variety of first -floor big name tenants and a second floor food court, providing additional options for Health District. Are there barriers to improvement in this target area? The lack of sufficient federal funding continues to serve as a barrier to improvement in this and other NDZs in the City. The Miami Association of Realtors reported in October of 2013 that real estate prices in Miami have climbed almost 19% in the last year alone with the median sales price of a home increasing $35,000 to $220,000, up from $185,000. These escalating prices make homeownership extremely difficult for working families. 2 Area Name: Coconut Grove NDZ Area Type: Local Target area Other Target Area Description: HUD Approval Date: of Low/ Mod: Revital Type: Comprehensive Other Revital Description: Identify the neighborhood boundaries for this target area. This NDZ features four block groups, on the west side of Coconut Grove. These are as follows: 71012, 72001, 72002, 72004. This NDZ is bounded by Day Avenue to the North, Franklin Avenue to the South, McDonald Street (32nd) to the East and SW 37th Avenue to the West. The ACS 2007-2012 estimates indicate that the population of this NDZ is 2,761 persons, with 1,822 low -to -moderate income persons, comprising 66% of the NDZ's total population. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 213 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Include specific housing and commercial characteristics of this target area. The ACS 2007-2012 indicates that there are 1,144 units in this NDZ, with 61.54% of these renter -occupied and 31.46% owner -occupied. This is the smallest NDZ in the City, but it is still of vital importance given the overall lack of housing -- especially affordable housing -- in Coconut Grove which was established in 1825, prior to the actual incorporation of the City of Miami. The bulk of commercial activity in this target area is found along the Grand Avenue corridor. Another nearby corridor is U.S. 1 (South Dixie Highway), although it is located outside of the NDZ (target area). The Coconut Grove Business Improvement District (BID) was established in 2009 by property owners and merchants to execute several programs to make improvements to the neighborhood including an expansive brick sidewalk improvements, the preservation of the Grove's tree canopy, facade improvement dollars for stores and restaurants, and funding towards special events that take place in the Grove year-round. In November 2013, voters approved a multi -million dollar redevelopment plan of the Coconut Grove public waterfront which would involve a 50-year lease with a private developer (Grove Bay Investment Group), and require the latter to spend $18 million to refurbish the existent Grove Key Marina, and demolish and replace two restaurants presently on the site with three new eateries. The plan also includes the build out of a pedestrian promenade along South Bayshore Drive down to a new public pier over Biscayne Bay along with the construction of a new three-story parking garage on South Bayshore which would offer more than 20,000-square-feet of retail space on its ground floor. The site would be adjacent to a new park which would take shape on the site of the former Coconut Grove Exhibition Center which was demolished. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 214 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) How did your consultation and citizen participation process help you to identify this neighborhood as a target area? After extensive consultation with City leaders and gathering comments and information at the public hearings held during the summer of 2013, the DCED then further analyzes the most recent Census reports to better identify a more specific area as a target area. Subsequently, DCED staff conduct an informal field analysis/windshield survey to better observe the area identified and the areas of concern and opportunity. Identify the needs in this target area. According to the Village West Community Needs Assessment conducted in May 2013 throughout the West Grove with a total of 1,179 survey respondents, the following community concerns were identified as most pressing: crime/safety (37%); economy/jobs (14%); housing (12%); youth -related issues (12%). When addressing needs for specific types of social services, the following were identified: Job training (22%); Legal assistance (11%); Childcare (11%); Mental health services (10%); Elderly care (9%); and Substance abuse services (7%). The Coconut Grove area is also well known for its tree lined streets and public parks. Parks -related needs are of importance to the area. In the fall of 2013, several parks in the Coconut Grove area, including Armbrister Park and Elizabeth Virrick park, were closed for in depth testing on potential soil contamination related to a former incinerator that operated in the neighborhood until it was demolished in the early 1970s. Testing is presently under way and City leaders are working on a plan towards cleaning up the contamination. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 215 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) What are the opportunities for improvement in this target area? One of the City's biggest investments in the West Grove area in the near future is known as Village West. In early 2013, the City allocated $3 million HOME funding (HCLC) towards this effort which is set to be developed by Neighborhood Housing Services of South Florida (NHS) in conjunction to a local CDC, and will encompass the acquisition and construction of new single-family, three - bedroom, two -bathroom home sites in the West Grove Homeownership Zone, located within the NDZ. In order to retain the feel of the West Grove area's Bahamian look and origins, the homes will incorporate a similar exterior style. Streets identified for this purpose include Florida Avenue, Frow, Hibiscus, Oak, Percival, Thomas and Williams. In early 2014, the Miami -Dade County Commission authorized the (no cost)conveyance of three County -owned vacant parcels to the City for the sites' ultimate development as low-income housing, as part of the homeownership zone. Also, plans are in the works for the development along Florida and Grand Avenues, along Plaza Street, for the @ $10.8 million Gibson Center project, which is set to feature five stories and 56 units for the elderly (30% to 80% AMI). There has been no significant development within the Village West area for several decades. The City has committed $550,000 in HOME, leveraged by Miami - Dade County General Obligation Bond and Surtax dollars. The land (40-year lease) is owned by the Theodore Roosevelt Gibson Memorial Fund, Inc., a Florida non-profit that operates within the Grove. Recently, the Coconut Grove Historic Preservation Pilot Program was launched to provide funding to eligible historic residential or business properties within this area. Funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, the program extends a loan to eligible property owners to make any repairs necessary for historic preservation as per the Secretary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation. Eligible properties must be individually designated historic, located within a historic district, or meet the Section 106 federal criteria to be designated as a historic resource and within a neighborhood conservation district. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 216 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Are there barriers to improvement in this target area? The property value assessments in the Coconut Grove area are generally some of the City's highest, and so finding sites for affordable housing development is difficult. The neighborhood is an example of Miami's unique composition - extremely high -income areas are just blocks away from extremely low-income areas. Based on the Village West survey noted above, crime was identified as a significant concern by 33% of respondents. The City is aware of these concerns and opened a police substation in early 2014 in the West Grove area at 3727 Grand Avenue to provide increased police visibility and presence for the area's residents. The City is renting the space for two years, with these costs offset in part via a donation of $36,000 from the non-profit Sarnoff Foundation, Inc. The lack of sufficient federal funding continues to serve as a barrier to improvement in this and other target areas throughout the City. Also, there are no certified CHDOs or CBDOs in Coconut Grove at this time. CHDOs help entitlements further the development of affordable housing and typically have proven track records of community involvement. 3 Area Name: Edison, East Little River, Little Haiti NDZ Area Type: Local Target area Other Target Area Description: HUD Approval Date: of Low/ Mod: Revital Type: Comprehensive Other Revital Description: Identify the neighborhood boundaries for this target area. <p align="left">The Edison/Little River/Little Haiti NDZ is our largest NDZ and is comprised of 25 Block Groups.

This commercial strip includes smaller sized commercial plazas and significant City funding has been invested here including the completion of the Little Haiti Soccer Park ($8 million) and the Little Haiti Cultural Arts Center (@ $15.9 million), which features arts programming for the community's children, an art gallery, community rooms for after school programs, and a theater for public and private musical acts. Here, the City's Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is presently renovating the Caribbean Marketplace, modeled after the famous Iron Market in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Once renovated, the site will serve as an open air market with kiosks to sell goods to the public. Another important commercial corridor is 79th Street which runs east -west.

At the public hearing held on August 14, 2013 at the Little Haiti Cultural Center's community room, attendees identified several needs. A good majority of comments revolved around the need for job training, and the creation of new businesses and jobs. Another topic of concern included the need for more attention on infrastructure including paved streets, water and sewer improvements, street resurfacing, sidewalks, and additional lighting. Several persons expressed their concerns about the lack of existent youth activities and training programs, especially in light of few part-time jobs and the lack of summer school to keep youth engaged and productive. Finally, several agencies in attendance addressed their concerns on dwindling public services due to the federal funding cuts of the CDBG program. What are the opportunities for improvement in this target area? There is an opportunity for commercial development along the 79th Street Corridor which runs east -west. Recently, a local non-profit Neighborhood Housing Services of South Florida (NHSSF) was awarded $250,000 by the Citi Foundation to increase economic progress along this roadway, advancing a "quarterback" model of community development by building the capacity of trusted organizations that can align their efforts to create a stronger, more resilient neighborhood. NHSSF also has plans to seek a Foreign Trade Zone designation for the Corridor, opening the possibility for new businesses, new jobs and economic development.

The main commercial corridors in this NDZ are SW 8th Street and Flagler Street, from 12 Avenue to the West and the Miami River to the East. Both of these east -west corridors are dotted with small strip malls and some residential developments. Recently, the area on the easternmost side of the Little Havana neighborhood (outside of the NDZ) has seen a massive wave of affordable housing development with five projects presently in different stages of construction. This easternmost area is attractive given its proximity to multiple Transit options (MetroRail, bus system), as well as its close distance to the booming downtown Miami Brickell neighborhood (Financial District).

The NDZ is dotted with multiple abandoned/vacant sites and derelict properties that require rehabilitation or condemnation. The community had expressed a need for a community center, and presently one is in the works along Southwest 12th Avenue, to the south of the NDZ. Also, in the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, 2012 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR), feedback from public outreach and special interest group meetings indicated that there should be "collaboration of residents and the Marlins [Stadium] to identify future redevelopment plans for the stadium's surrounding area." Consolidated Plan MIAMI 221 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) What are the opportunities for improvement in this target area? A 2.6 acre site was purchased by a private developer directly along SW 8 Street and Southwest 19th Avenue, one of the largest vacant parcels along that busy corridor. According to reports, the site will be developed as Intown Condos, a14-story, 320-unit residential condominium property which is being lauded as the first new -to -market condominium project to launch in the area since 2008. This market -rate project is something different for the area, and can serve as a catalyst for future private investment. Also, grants from the Pfizer Foundation and Grantmakers in Action made it possible for Urban Health Partnerships and its partners to launch the research portion of the Safe Routes program in early 2013 in the Little Havana area, which included a "walk audit" of a targeted area where a large elderly population resides. Concerns related to walking around the area were shared with community leaders in a forum in March 2013 and partners are putting together an action plan to address issues and obstacles, looking to publish a resource that can be used by other communities. Among the likely suggestions: extending the length of some stoplights, making clear demarcations on sidewalks, improving signs on one-way roads, removing tripping hazards, creating defined bicycle paths and enforcing traffic laws. As mentioned above, near the NDZ there are several multi- family development projects under way and upon completion, these developments will add 300+ affordable units to the area's housing stock. Six other residential developers have applied for affordable housing certifications from the City to ultimately build out multi- family housing in this area, as well. Although some of these applications/certifications might not come to fruition, the frequency indicates the popularity of the area at this time.

The site received a $900,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration to help underwrite the renovations and adaptive re -use of the 9,000 square - foot historic structure and the SEOPW CRA has allocated an additional $1.5 million towards the effort. The facility will maintain its existing structure and facade but will be internally rebuilt to include a banquet facility, catering kitchen, and kitchen incubator for local food errwneurs.

The Wynwood NDZ is bounded to the North by NW 37 Street, East by North Miami Avenue, South by Northwest 28th Street, and West to Northwest 6th Avenue. It is comprised of four census block groups which are as follows: 26001, 26002, 26003, and 26004. The ACS 2007- 2012 estimates indicate that this NDZ's population is 5,647 with 3,627 low -to -moderate income persons, comprising 64.2% of the NDZ's total population.</p> Consolidated Plan M IAM I 230 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Include specific housing and commercial characteristics of this target area. The ACS 2007-2012 estimates indicate that there are 1,892 units in this NDZ, with 87.32% renter -occupied, and 12.68% owner occupied. Wynwood was known for being a working class neighborhood and an enclave for Miami's Puerto Ricans, with much of the neighborhood made up of vast amounts of warehouse space, some small commercial strips and a small residential component. Its main thoroughfares include NW Second Avenue, North Miami Avenue and also NW/NE 29th Street. Nearby, the Fashion and Garment District is a concentration of manufacturing and wholesale distribution retail outlets that have special appeal for shoppers from all over the world. Wynwood has significantly evolved since the last CP, and a number of factors have contributed to that revitalization. First, the Shops at Midtown Miami development opened around 2008, occupying several blocks of urban space and spanning some 633,754-square-feet of retail and restaurants, with some 60 different tenants. Wynwood has also benefitted from its proximity (just south of) to the burgeoning Miami Design District Retail Street SAP, which is home to high end retailers, galleries, restaurants, and design studios. Aside from this, Wynwood's commercial property owners voted in 2013 to designate the Wynwood Arts District as a Business Improvement District (BID), taxing themselves yearly, based on the size of the property owners' folios, amounting to $700,000 annually for the next 10 years. The taxes will be invested into making Wynwood a brighter and cleaner environment, by providing basic necessities, such as waste receptacles, street lighting, and increased surveillance. The fund will also provide financial support for various Arts initiatives. In the late 90s and early 00's, many art galleries set up shop in Wynwood, primarily between 20th and 29th Streets. The existent commercial space was appropriate for businesses of this nature and rents were low. Since then, Wynwood has seen significant growth, and both commercial and residential developers appear to be taking notice, with several market rate projects in the works just outside of the NDZ's boundaries including the Wynwood Central Condominium, the Wynwood 250 Condominium and the first hotel (boutique) in Wynwood -- all in their preliminary stages. Within the NDZ itself, Consolidated Plan MIAMI 231 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) How did your consultation and citizen participation process help you to identify this neighborhood as a target area? After extensive consultation with City leaders and collecting comments and information at the public hearing held during the summer of 2013, the DCED then further analyzes the most recent Census reports to better identify more specific low- to moderate -income areas, as target areas for public investment. Subsequently, the DCED conducts an informal field analysis/windshield survey to better observe the area identified for areas of concern and opportunity. Identify the needs in this target area. Affordable housing preservation, along with new affordable housing development, is crucial within the NDZ in order to stave off gentrification given Wynwood's steadily rising real estate prices. The latter can be attributed to numerous market forces, including this NDZ's and neighborhood's proximity to the booming Edgewater neighborhood which is located to Wynwood's east, running along Biscayne Bay, as well as its proximity to the Miami Design District Retail Street SAP. Several parcels within the NDZ are zoned for multi -family, low density development. What are the opportunities for improvement in this target area? Because of its central location within the City of Miami, and its proximity to both 1-95 and Biscayne Boulevard, new affordable housing opportunities in this area would further housing choice for City residents. In both the 2013 and 2014 Housing -related RFPs issued by the City (HOME funding), not a single application for a potential site within the Wynwood NDZ or within the entire Wynwood neighborhood, was submitted. In early 2014, Wynwood welcomed its first international luxury retailer, a Ducati dealership which is the first tenant in the Wynwood Gateway Complex, a new retail development on the corner of Northwest 29th Street and Second Avenue -- which is located within the City's NDZ. This new location can serve as a catalyst for future commercial investment in the NDZ. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 232 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Are there barriers to improvement in this target area? Real estate prices in this area have been steadily rising. As cited in a Miami Herald article published on March 21, 2014, "the increased interest has also caused some migration because of some tenants being priced out. Some tenants have cited a rise in rents as reason for closing up shop. Art galleries, which have been a staple of Wynwood for years, are also looking for alternatives to Wynwood." 8 Area Name: City of Miami Area Type: City-wide Other Target Area Description: City-wide HUD Approval Date: of Low/ Mod: Revital Type: Other Revital Description: Identify the neighborhood boundaries for this target area. In addition to the Eligible Census Block Groups comprising the City's seven Neighborhood Development Zones (NDZs), the City has 123 other, scattered Eligible Block Groups throughout its limits and wants to have an option available to address needs in these areas, should these arise during the course of this five year Consolidated Plan (CP). Include specific housing and commercial characteristics of this target area. These block groups are scattered and not within one of the defined NDZs. These areas are characterized by high concentrations of poverty in which at least 51% of each Block Group's households have incomes at or below 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Many of these block groups are experiencing a severe housing cost burden. When further looking at Census results on these scattered eligible block groups, the low -to -moderate income percentage of the population of all of these EBG's averages 69%. How did your consultation and citizen participation process help you to identify this neighborhood as a target area? Based on feedback from City Commissioners, there is concern expressed for the needs of low-income residents who may not live within the NDZ target areas, but who might have important needs arise that require attention. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 233 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Identify the needs in this target area. Because this Consolidated Plan spans five years, it is difficult to predict or anticipate the needs that may arise within these Eligible Block Groups. However, some of the general needs identified include the rehabilitation of single-family, owner occupied housing; street and roadway improvements; and, various social service programs for seniors, youth, and the disabled. What are the opportunities for improvement in this target area? Opportunities for improvement are divers -- and span from single-family housing rehabilitation/preservation to new, single-family housing development, along with the addition of affordable rental options -- which is a need that is widespread throughout most of the distressed areas of our City. Are there barriers to improvement in this target area? The needs in these areas and the City exceed the availability of federal and local funding to adequately address them. Table 50 - Geographic Priority Areas General Allocation Priorities Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the jurisdiction (or within the EMSA for HOPWA) Due to the many pockets of need spread throughout the City of Miami, the Administration has long prioritized its needs around specific geographic areas, which it has described in previous Consolidated Plans as Neighborhood Development Zones (NDZs). After an analysis of the area's low- to moderate - income concentrations, followed by an on -the -ground analysis, efforts are concentrated within these NDZs so that public resources can be concentrated within a defined set of Census Block Groups, with efforts including housing, public infrastructure improvements, slum and blight removal, and economic development. History shows that uniting on multiple fronts with public dollars and investing these within a defined area can serve as a catalyst that then attracts and furthers private investment in the same area, thereby creating a more visible, sizable effect within the particular community. Since the last Consolidated Plan, there have been changes in the City's demographics and some neighborhoods that had been low-income are no longer, which allows for allocations to be shifted elsewhere. As such, based on the demographic data that was presented at the five public hearings held in August 2013, the City's NDZs are: Allapattah, Coconut Grove, Edison/East Little River/Little Haiti, Little Havana, Model City (aka Liberty City), and Overtown. These areas are selected due to several factors including poverty levels, the labor market (or lack thereof), crime statistics, existent infrastructure or gaps in infrastructure. Please see NDZ maps and Master NDZ Characteristics table for specific demographics on these NDZs. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 234 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The City of Miami administers the HOPWA program for all of Miami -Dade County (EMSA). Based on the U.S. 2010 Census, this is the most populous County in the State of Florida. The City HOPWA's Long -Term Rental Assistance Program (TBRA) allows its clients to live throughout Miami -Dade County. Case management services are provided to these clients by five different Community Based Organizations, which operate out of six separate locations in different areas of Miami -Dade County. HOPWA TBRA clients are referred to the CBO located closest to their place of residence for services, although they can opt to switch to another CBO should they prefer this.

Consolidated Plan MIAMI 236 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Basis for Relative Priority The city is burdened by a combination of trends that negatively affect its residents and their ability to sustain housing while meeting other financial responsibilities. Wages and work opportunities are limited and most residents are cost -burdened due to high costs associated with housing and transportation expenses. Home ownership opportunities for this population, which comprises the majority of city residents, are hard to attain making affordable rental housing a high priority for the DCED. In addition, the city has lost many of its traditional affordable multi -family housing structures, specifically those of 10 units or less. These traditional structures have been and continue to be replaced by newer 20 or more unit structures with higher rental costs. Rental housing rehabilitation programs allow for smaller multi- family rental structures to continue to be affordable to city residents. In an effort to support affordable housing, the city will also engage in construction of additional affordable rental units and support programs such as TBRA and Housing Choice Voucher Assistance for extremely-, very-, and low -to -moderate income households. 2 Priority Need Name Affordable Homeownership Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Middle Families with Children Geographic Areas Affected Model City NDZ Little Havana NDZ Edison, East Little River, Little Haiti NDZ Wynwood NDZ Overtown NDZ Allapattah NDZ Coconut Grove NDZ City-wide Associated Goals Homeowner - Single Family Rehabilitation Homeowner - Single Family Replacement Housing Homeownership - New Construction Homeownership - Down Payment Assistance Program Administration Consolidated Plan MIAMI 237 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Description Increase the supply of affordable homeownership units through new construction.

Maintain the current affordable housing stock by providing assistance to existing homeowners to rehabilitate or replace their existing homes by addressing emergency conditions that could endanger the health and safety of its occupants. Basis for Relative Priority The availability of affordable homeownership units for working class and moderate income families is a priority for the City of Miami. Unfortunately, due to housing market conditions, many of these families are priced -out of the market. The focus of this strategy is to promote and bring homeownership opportunities to city residents and to assist current homeowners with deferred maintenance, removal of code violations, and replacement of unsafe structures while maintaining the property affordable and safe. 3 Priority Need Name Provision of Public Services Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Families with Children Elderly Individuals Families with Children Mentally III Chronic Substance Abuse veterans Persons with HIV/AIDS Victims of Domestic Violence Unaccompanied Youth Elderly Frail Elderly Persons with Mental Disabilities Persons with Physical Disabilities Persons with Developmental Disabilities Persons with HIV/AIDS and their Families Victims of Domestic Violence Consolidated Plan MIAMI 238 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Geographic Areas Affected Model City NDZ Little Havana NDZ Edison, East Little River, Little Haiti NDZ Wynwood NDZ Overtown NDZ Allapattah NDZ Coconut Grove NDZ City-wide Associated Goals Public Services - Elderly Meals Public Services - Child Care Public Services - Youth Development Public Services - People with Disabilities Public Services - Employment & Training Program Administration Description Public consultation results indicate that public services are the number one priority for city residents.

Basis for Relative Priority Public Service programs are of great importance for the city residents since a high percent of the population these programs are designed for and provided to individuals and families who live at or below the poverty line and rely on public assistance. Public Service programs address basic needs of many elderly residents who do not have the economic means to cover essential nutritional meals. These programs endow suitable living conditions to extremely low -to -moderate income children and families allowing parents to work while ensuring them that their children are in safe and healthy environments. Provision of childcare services promotes family self-sufficiency and quality learning for the children while youth services allow youth to transition into successful adulthood. It maintains the youth involved in positive educational and recreational activities. 4 Priority Need Name Economic Development & Public Facilities Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Consolidated Plan MIAMI 239 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Geographic Areas Affected Model City NDZ Little Havana NDZ Edison, East Little River, Little Haiti NDZ Wynwood NDZ Overtown NDZ Allapattah NDZ Coconut Grove NDZ City-wide Associated Goals Economic Development - Job Creation/Retention Economic Development - Technical Assistance Economic Development - T/A to Micro -Enterprises Economic Development - Commercial Facade Economic Development - Sustainable Communities Program Administration Description Create and maintain employment opportunities for extremely low-, very low-, and low -to -moderate individuals.

We are presently analyzing case studies from other jurisdictions and their implementation of federal dollars towards TBRA, but at this point in time we have not committed to it. New Unit Production According to an article published in the local weekly Miami Today, some 20,000 residential units are under construction throughout the City of Miami. However, the bulk of these units are market rate or at price points (sale and rental) that do not accommodate low- to moderate -income persons. The DCED feels it is best to consider new affordable unit production in areas that have seen little new construction in the past. To that end, it has attempted to award bonus points in its recent Request for Proposals (RFP) to developers seeking federal dollars for affordable housing development in District 2 and District 4 of the City. Historically, these districts see the least affordable housing development due to real estate prices being higher in these locations. However, the DCED and the City's Housing & Commercial Loan Committee do still strongly consider LIHTC developers that approach them for funding, given the leveraging opportunities. Rehabilitation Although many of the City's older home owners may have retired their mortgage debt, they may currently be living in older homes that now require moderate to substantial rehabilitation in order to remain in livable conditions. These households are also more likely to experience difficulty accessing rehabilitation financing from conventional financial markets to address larger code violations, and make necessary upgrades to their aging residences. Aside from this, these older homeowners are typically retired and living on fixed incomes with limited personal financial abilities to bring their homes to code, thereby living in sub -standard conditions, and ultimately at risk of displacement. To that end, the DCED sets aside HOME funds each year towards its single-family rehabilitation program with a maximum amount of $35,000 in assistance for each home. In November 2013, the DCED went before the City of Miami Commission seeking to increase the amount of assistance to $50,000, in part due to encountering more serious disrepair of most homes whose owners apply to the program combined with the rising cost of construction -related improvements. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 243 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Affordable Housing Type Market Characteristics that will influence the use of funds available for housing type Acquisition, including This has been and remains a viable strategy for the DCED. However, due to escalating real estate costs in Miami and the often extremely competitive preservation marketplace, purchasing a parcel at today's prices for build out or purchasing a new built property is not feasible. In most cases, an existent property that is already a City asset can be conveyed, upon the approval of the City of Miami Commission, to a non-profit entity for renovation (preservation) and administration. The conveyance is tied to a covenant, which assures the DCED that it will remain affordable for 30 years, and the DCED is responsible for monitoring the building and its tenants during that affordability period. Table 52 — Influence of Market Conditions NA-10.1 The City of Miami is experiencing robust population growth that will certainly increase demand for housing options — The 2010 census validated what many have been observing for years: population growth in the City of Miami -Miami-Dade County's urban core- is making a comeback. In fact, according to the Census, from 2000 to 2010, 15 percent of the county's growth occurred in the City of Miami when during prior decades, the city only contributed 4 percent or less to the county's growth. In fact, the city's growth has been so recent that 57 percent of the population added to the city since 1970 occurred during the last decade.

According to the latest population estimate from the US Census Bureau's PEP, today the City of Miami's total population is 408,750. The population growth in the year between the decennial census and the latest estimate was just under 9,000 people; this net gain in population in just one year was significantly greater than all the growth during the 1990s decade and very similar in growth to the two previous decades, the 1970s and 1980s. In addition, it should be taken into consideration that the City of Miami is located in the fourth "hardest to count" metropolitan area in the country —meaning that a significant portion of the city may be officially undercounted with at least one in five residents living in a hard -to -count neighborhood.(1) In fact, the City of Miami won a Census Challenge in 2007 that recalculated the city's population estimate from 409,719 to 424,662 and later grew to 433,136 by 2009 before falling again during the decennial census in 2010.(2) The findings from the Census Challenges are supported by a Drilldown study conducted by Social Compact in 2009 that found that the City of Miami had a substantial greater market size than traditional data sources had illustrated. Social Compact's 2009 population estimate for the Miami study area was 504,266; 19 percent higher (approximately 82,000 more people) than the 2008 traditional market estimate of 422,182, and 37 percent higher (nearly 137,000 more people) than the Census 2000 estimate of 367,426.

Although family households still represent a majority, it grew over the past ten years only modestly. On the other hand, non -family households grew at an impressive 34.1 percent during the same time period to now make up 43.1 percent of the total households in Miami. According to the Census, more Americans are living alone than ever before (27.4 percent) and the share of households with children has halved since the 1970s to 20 percent. (1) These same trends are apparent in the City of Miami as well. In particular, the greatest gains in non -family households were among those living alone; the city added 11,810 people (28.9 percent) to this category over the last decade for a total of 33.3 percent —greater than the national trend stated above. Along this same vein, the only household type to lose population was families of married couples with children. In contrast to the region, the loss of this household type was most pronounced in the City of Miami (-6.2 percent) compared to the County (-5.7 percent), and the State of Florida (+1.2 percent).(2) (1) Mahapatra, Lisa.

Among places with a population of 100,000 or more, four of the ten places with the highest percentage of the population 65 years and over were located in Florida. Specifically, the City of Miami was one of these ten places, ranking tenth with a total population of 63,987 (16 percent) persons aged 65 and over.(1) These statistics are important to consider in light that the growth rate of the elderly population is low compared to workforce age residents in the city, but make up a significant share of the city's population compared to other large cities. Furthermore, according to Table 2, a significant portion of the lowest income category is made up of elderly households. Approximately 35 percent of the 62 to 74 population and 46 percent of the over 75 population have an annual income between 0-30 percent of the HUD Area Median Income. (1) Werner, Carrie A.

Interestingly, this decrease in the population of children was parallel to a noteworthy increase in the young workforce age population that has occurred over the same period — especially the 25 to 34 cohort population gains in the city (21.3 percent) were impressive when compared to the county (0.9 percent) and to the state (9.9 percent). This group most likely represents the "small related" household in the CHAS data that demonstrated housing problems relating to cost - burden. The data creates more questions than answers: Is this due to an increase in young childless professionals attracted to the urban core? Are they beginning to start families as indicated by the jump in the under 5 year population? As these children age, will these families remain in the City of Miami? Are families with children in school leaving the city due to the lack of housing choices or are there other reasons associated with the trend? It should also be noted that, according to Table 2, when income is taken into consideration with households with young children six and under --just like the elderly households --there is a disproportionate number in the low to moderate category in the city of Miami.

Summary Fife 1 NA-10.10 NA-10.11 TREND 2: A housing cost/income mismatch has led to a significant number of cost -burdened households and the need for more affordable housing options. A staggering 67 percent of the households in the City of Miami earn 80 percent or less than the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI) - According to the CHAS data, there are a total number of 99,515 low to moderate income households in the City of Miami that represent a 67 percent of total households in the city. The most recent Census figures show improved statistics for the city's income by household. According to a comparison between the 2000 Census and the most recent American Community Survey, the city lost a significant share of the households that earned less than $10,000- from 24.2 percent in 2000 to 16.6 percent of the city's total households. Likewise, there were gains in the share of all the income brackets from $35,000 and above. Despite these changes, the same figures illustrate that all the households making below the $35,000 income bracket make up 55.7 percent of the city's households. Therefore, regardless of the income gains made by the city's households, as the CHAS data and the Census data indicate, a significant portion of the city's households earnings make them vulnerable to becoming cost -burdened by rising costs in housing and other cost of living expenses.

Of these 46 percent of cost -burdened households in Miami, about half (24 percent) are severely cost -burdened —meaning these households pay more than half their household income on housing. It is important to note that of the City's cost -burdened households, a significant majority (68 percent) are renters. Shimberg considers these figures as an important need indicator that can serve as an approximation of the total number of households that would benefit from some type of housing assistance that includes the construction of new affordable housing units, but also the provision of subsidies to make current units more affordable. It is also useful for planning purposes to study the projected increase of severely cost -burdened, low-income households over multi -year periods in order to properly mitigate possible future affordable housing shortages. The table below details the projected level of severely cost - burdened households in Miami that earn 80 percent of AMI or less. The income variation in the table helps inform the city on where the needs will be for future targeted housing assistance taking into account that the construction of new units for low-income households means that not all new rent- or price -restricted units will be affordable to all households (for example, a household at 30 percent AMI would still pay more than half of its income for rent in an apartment with rent set for households with incomes of 60 percent AMI). This is important because according to the table, about half of the estimated new severely cost -burdened households in the next years will be renters from the most poverty stricken households in the city.

When considering the most populous U.S. Metropolitan Areas, the Miami MSA ranked second worst in the nation during the 2005-2009 period and eighth worst in 2012.[1] A recent analysis of the 2012 figures combined the Gini Index data with income, poverty and home value data from the Census Bureau and poverty rates estimated by the Brookings Institution. This analysis found that the Miami MSA's income was mostly concentrated among the top -earning households in 2012, with five percent of the households accounting for more than a quarter of all income in the area.[2] In addition, the analysis also found that the MSA's urban core is significantly poorer (28.3 percent) when compared to the suburban areas (16.3 percent). The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) Family Budget Calculator estimates the income a family would need for a secure but modest lifestyle that takes into account community -specific housing costs and other needs such as food, child care, transportation, and health care. On average, families would need more than twice the amount of the federal poverty line; in the Miami MSA families would need to earn three times. For example, according to the calculator, a two -parent, one -child household in the Miami MSA would need to earn $60,404 a year for basic expenses while the federal poverty line for a family of the same size was estimated to be $19,090.[3] EPI's calculated budget for Miami families is also more than $20,000 over the median household income for the City of Miami, which was $30,270 according to the most recent 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey.[4] Consolidated Plan MIAMI 252 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) [1] US Census Bureau.

The report, Losing Ground: The Struggle of Moderate -Income Households to Afford the Rising Costs of Housing and Transportation (2012), found that moderate -income households earning between 50 and 100 percent of the median household income in their area spend an average of 59 percent of their income on housing and transportation.[1] Of the 25 largest metro areas, the report found the cost burdens to be highest in the Miami area, where moderate -income households spend a staggering 72 percent of their income on housing and transportation. It is important to note that, in spite of average housing and transportation expenses in the Miami area — the severe cost burden facing moderate income households is because housing and transportation expenses are so out of sync with the local median income, which is one of the lowest in the nation.[2] [1] Center for Housing Policy and the Center for Neighborhood Technology.

NA-10.20 The Miami area job market was defined by a hiring slump in 2013 that further aggravated the mismatch between income and cost of living - The City of Miami is located within Miami -Dade County, home to about 60 percent of the region's jobs.[3] However, the area is still suffering from a stalled job market in both payroll and the number of new employment opportunities marked by a hiring slump for most of 2013.[4] According to the Miami Herald, the county saw in November 2013 a slowdown in payroll gains compared to the pace set after jobs started growing again in 2009.[5] Furthermore, while Miami -Dade County added 9,000 jobs since October 2012, the gains are anemic for a county that a year ago was creating more than 20,000 new jobs over the prior year.[6] One of the weak spots in the labor market has been construction despite the fact that home values have been on the rise in 2013 and 2014, and buyers are once again purchasing homes.[7] For those that are able to find jobs, earnings are down or flat —especially for minority workers. Florida has the second largest total number of workers with earnings at or below the federal minimum in the U.S.[8] These workers in Florida saw their wages fall behind the cost of living for the past decade, with the median hourly wage down 4.3 percent since 2000, according to a Florida International University (FIU) study, "The State of Working Florida 2013." Another finding from the FIU study was that black workers were three times more likely to earn less than white workers, while Hispanic workers were two times as likely to earn less than white workers.[9] [3][5] Hanks, Douglas.

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 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. As of the date this plan's draft was issued, the City had not yet received notification of the amount of entitlement funding it will receive for fiscal year 2014-2015. 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 Poverty Initiative 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 (multi -family rental and homeownership projects), as delineated in the Affordable Housing Trust guidelines approved by City Commission in Resolution #07-0203.

Funding for the SHIP program was established by the passage of the 1992 William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act. Funds are allocated to local governments on a population - based formula. SHIP funds are deposited into the State of Florida's Local Government Housing Trust Fund. Total actual disbursements are dependent upon these documentary stamp collections. The State Legislature can, and has, used these funds for purposes other than housing thereby reducing the amount available to municipalities. Given the current economic times, the DCED cannot rely on the fact that this funding amount could be renewed in the coming fiscal years, so we are leaving the anticipated amount for ti emainder of the Consolidated Plan term at $0.

In the event it is a homeless family and shelter beds are unavailable, MHAP also facilitates moving them into a motel/hotel (assuming funding is available). According to MHAP, this is the average amount they have received for the past several years via the Trust's NOFA RFP.

In regards to ESG funding, dollars are matched as follows: the sub -recipient, Citrus Health Network, Inc., has matched their amounts for Rapid Re -Housing and Homelessness Prevention dollars with approximately $120,000 from the Veterans Administration and another $65,000 from Our Kids. The Miami Homeless Assistance Program matches any dollars it receives with the grant dollars it receives via application (RFP) from the CoC's NOFA. The Department (DCED) matches any Administration dollars it utilizes from ESG with HOPWA funding. If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The DCED currently manages a portfolio of approximately 50+ parcels that are owned by the City of Miami. Some of these sites can or must be used to address some of the needs identified in this plan. These parcels each have limitations associated to the type of development that can occur on the individual site. As funding becomes available, the DCED incorporates the appropriate sites in a Request for Proposals (RFP) which is properly advertised and then publically issued to interested parties who have to meet certain thresholds of experience, knowledge, financial capacity, etc. RFPs are reviewed, scored, and recommendations presented to either the City of Miami Commission or the City's Housing & Commercial Loan Committee, comprised of private individuals with different specialties in the banking, housing, private/public sector who volunteer their time and meet several times a year to award funding. This Committee was granted the authority to make these decisions by the City of Miami Commission.

Contractor Ownership Region Table 54 - Institutional Delivery Structure Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System The institutional delivery system's strengths include the high number and variety of public and private agencies in the City that are involved year-round in providing housing, public services, economic development -related services, homeless services and HOPWA services to low- to moderate -income persons. The main weakness of this system is that unfortunately, many agencies tend to be self- contained and solely work within their service niche, which oftentimes means a lack of communication and awareness of other agencies and the existent services in the community that can assist low-income residents. This lack of awareness means leveraging resources and assets is oftentimes not maximized and cross -promotion and marketing does not take place. Another gap in the institutional structure is what we observe to be a lack of the foundation/corporate component in many agency's operating budgets. Many of the agencies we fund are struggling to survive financially and depend too heavily on state and federal funding, without branching out into the marketplace and seeking private sponsors and corporate dollars. As such, sustaining their organization becomes extremely difficult as public dollars dwindle. Many agencies struggle with public speaking, advocacy, fundraising, and lobbying -- critical skills needed to secure additional dollars. Ultimately, in inability to acclimate to the new financial situation threatens an agency's life span, and consequently the clients they service.

Once a client makes the first point of contact, whether it be on the street through an outreach team, by calling the toll -free local Homeless Helpline, or by walking in to a shelter, then they are assessed via one, standardized assessment tool used by all CoC participating entities, and subsequently referred to the available resources that can address their/their families' needs. Mainstream services in our community can be accessed via the 24-hour Switchboard of Miami Help line (305-358-HELP), a nonprofit entity in operation since the late 1960s which maintains a comprehensive database of the social services available throughout Miami -Dade County and provides information free of charge to callers on hundreds of topics. The bulk of services for persons with AIDS (outside of housing -related services) are provided via the Ryan White program, which is administered by Miami -Dade County via the Office of Management and Budget, Grants Coordination Division. They receive funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), under Part A of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009, and are responsible for distributing these grant funds to HIV/AIDS service organizations, community -based clinics, hospitals, and public institutions located throughout the County. They also receive funding towards the Ryan White Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Program. The State of Florida also operates the PAC Waiver program for Medicaid eligible persons with AIDS who are disabled (according to Social Security) and in need of services. PAC Waiver is a Consolidated Plan M IAM I 271 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) special enhancement of the Florida Medicaid Program and permits payment for a unique set of home and community -based services that are not available under regular Medicaid, designed to allow persons with AIDS to remain in the comfort of their homes and receive the necessary medical and social support they require. Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above One of the most obvious strengths of the service delivery system includes the large number of players -- be these agencies, community -based organizations, non -profits, etc. -- that are involved in providing services to special needs populations and persons experiencing homelessness. Those community entities and stakeholders who participate in the local CoC meet several times a year to address issues as they arise in the community with participants who are actively tied to the HIV/AIDS Community, Mental Health Community, Veterans, Survivors of Domestic Abuse, etc. This information exchange allows entities to understand what other agencies are doing, and to thereby route clients accordingly. There is presently a gap in the mortgage assistance programs available to the community and to homeless persons -- outside of what is a traditional loan modification with a bank and/or the HAMP program. Another major gap in this institutional structure is the lack of available funding resources to meet the growing demand for low-income affordable housing and the provision of social services for the different segments of our population. The City works diligently to leverage local, state, and federal monies by forging meaningful public and private partnerships. The lack of available funding has forced the department to do more with less and in many instances this translates into increased workloads that hinder the work of staff members in meeting increased affordable housing demands and social service needs. Demographic barriers are also a gap, as part of the high population growth projection in the City is attributed to the large immigration inflow from other countries. Different races and cultural backgrounds merge to form neighborhoods and communities. The constant influx of immigrants (legal and illegal) into the City, many of whom are in immediate need of social services, presents a challenge to the department given the existent demand. It is also difficult to document the numbers of this specific population, given that many are hesitant to provide information for surveys/census counts/etc. Finally, foreclosures continue to be of concern to Miami. After several years of one of the highest foreclosure rates in the nation, data still notes our state as the first, sometimes second in the nation in relation to foreclosure activity. It is inevitable that persons losing their homes, could potentially be unemployed or retired, and as such could verge on homelessness. The City tracks and monitors foreclosures in its geographic area, producing maps and statistics, as needed. However, we have no way of predicting whether numbers will grow or drop as Florida's backlog of foreclosure cases means the process can take several years in the courts system. In other words, it is difficult to predict how many persons are on the verge of losing their homes, and should that happen, it is equally difficult to predict how many of these persons will not have the resources or family support necessary to find a place to live on their own. As a HOME Pi, the DCED also works to certify the Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) Consolidated Plan MIAMI 272 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) in the City of Miami each year. The number of these seems to be dwindling, perhaps due in part to difficulties of the housing market for the past several years. To that end, the DCED has encouraged CHDOs to work with private developers, in order to blend the construction and financial capacities of the latter with their community clout and knowledge. Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs Efforts to bring other federal, state, local, and/or private funding for programs and activities that assist extremely low-, very low-, and low to moderate -income people have been paramount. On average, for each dollar the City invested it was able to obtain at least $15 from other non -City funding sources. In these difficult economic times, it is more important than ever for jurisdictions and agencies to manage federal monies wisely, and ensure that each dollar dedicated to an activity is being leveraged, thereby maximizing results.

These funds are used toward engagement, in order to locate, identify, and build relationships with the unsheltered in order to provide immediate support, intervention, and connections with homeless assistance programs and mainstream social services/and or housing programs. In addition, whenever appropriate, the city may utilize ESG funding to cover for hotel/motel expenses related to maintaining homeless families off the streets whenever shelter space is not available. 23 Goal Name Rapid Rehousing and Homeless Prevention Goal Description Rapid rehousing and homeless prevention programs provides direct assistance to low income households to prevent homelessness. There is a high demand for these programs in the City of Miami as unemployment levels continue to be above the national average as of November 2013 paired with rising rental and homeownership costs. 24 Goal Name Program Administration Goal Description Funds to cover administration cost for implementing all entitlement grant programs toward meeting national objectives and goals. Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate -income families to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.315(b)(2) As noted in the chart above (Goals Summary Information), if the DCED utilizes the projected annual HOME allocation it most recently received of approximately $2,700,000 a year, the DCED estimates that approximately 10 households will be assisted annually through down payment assistance, with the bulk of these persons at or below the 80% AMI. Besides this, the City anticipates that it will fund approximately 30 new construction rental units each year in multi -family projects that will be affordable to low income households. The City expects to support the development of an average of 8 new homeownership units each year with these being for persons/households who are 80% AMI or below. Finally, the city expects that two units will be assisted each year via the rehabilitation of existent multi -family rental developments with those units benefitting, and being affordable to very low-income households (50% AMI or below). Looking at other funding sources used to aide in making housing affordable, the HOPWA Long Term Rental Assistance Program (TBRA) will provide rental assistance to approximately 1,000 clients and their families, County -wide each year with clients being 80% AMI or below. The HOPWA Short Term Rental and Mortgage and Utility Assistance (STRMU) program will provide assistance to @ 20 special needs clients who are HIV+ each year (80% AMI or below). Finally, Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) dollars will be used to assist 8 persons/families a year via rapid re -housing and another 18 persons/families a year via homelessness prevention — with the bulk of these families being 30% AMI or below.

On July 8, 2004, U.S. HUD issued Miami -Dade County a preliminary Letter of Findings of Non -Compliance (LOF) addressing various Section 504 and Title II of the ADA deficiencies. During the week of November 15-19, 2004, teams from U.S. HUD and from Miami -Dade County, which included the County Attorney's Office and representatives of PHCD (then the "Miami -Dade Housing Authority"), met to resolve the stated deficiencies and to negotiate the terms of the VCA, in lieu of a federal lawsuit being filed against Miami - Dade County by the United States Department of Justice. In its assessment, U.S. HUD determined that PHCD would need to bring an additional 478 Public Housing units into compliance with Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS). In 2005, the County entered into a VCA agreement with U.S. HUD. The VCA requires the County to address deficiencies identified in the County's housing, non -housing, (i.e., common entrances, management offices, laundry rooms common areas, corridors, hallways, elevators, community programs and day care facilities,) and administrative offices as follows: (1) MDHA must select and hire a VCA Administrator within 120 days of the execution of the VCA that shall report to the MDHA Director to coordinate all compliance activities of the VCA. The County is required to procure a Surveyor, Architect/Design Firm(s) and Contractors to perform the work specified under the VCA. The County shall construct or convert a minimum of 5%, i.e., 478 of its 9,543 total housing units to comply with Section 504, Title II of the ADA, the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS), the Fair Housing Act and the Architecture Barriers Act. (2) The County shall ensure that non -housing programs are accessible to persons with disabilities, including, but not limited to all common areas, accessible routes, management and regional offices (including restrooms), laundry room mail delivery, trash disposal, meeting rooms, recreation rooms, community center (including restrooms) and day care centers (including restrooms).The County shall complete accessibility modifications to its Central Office, Private Rental Housing Division offices and administrative offices housing its ADA Coordinator. (3) The County must meet all the terms and conditions of the VCA within six (6) years from the date it is executed. Based on a report dated February 5, 2013, PHCD has brought a total of 111 of the required 478 units up to the UFAS standard, with an additional 367 units to be completed by no later than FY 2015. Based on PHCD's current schedule, 94 additional units are to be completed in FY 2013; 75 units are to be completed in FY 2014; and, the remaining 198 units are to be completed during FY 2015. It is anticipated that all of the funds necessary to comply with the VCA Agreement will be funded through the Capital Fund Program (CFP) funds. These federal funds are subject to availability. If CFP funds are not available, the County will request U.S. HUD to renegotiate the terms of the VCA as they relate to funding. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 285 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Activities to Increase Resident Involvements The PHCD is working to increase resident involvement as follows: The agency has implemented quarterly meetings with resident councils to provide training on various aspects of resident organization and empowerment, intended to increase input and involvement of public housing residents. Several efforts to be undertaken by PHCD to increase resident involvement include, but are not limited to: • PHCD will monitor contractors and subcontractors for compliance with Section 3 training and employment goals, and provide public housing residents with information about Section 3 business and training employment opportunities. • PHCD will provide or identify supportive services to improve the employability of public housing residents. • PHCD will seek new partnerships with both public and private entities to enhance social and economic services to residents in assisted housing. • PHCD will increase resident participation requirements for social service providers operating at public housing sites by requiring community organizations that provide services at the sites to have at least 50% of their clients as public housing residents or show good cause for not meeting this goal. • PHCD will continue to administer ROSS Grants to assist families in public housing with self- sufficiency training, employment training, job placement, and educational opportunities for early childhood and grade school academic improvement. • PHCD will continue to identify supportive services to increase independence and self-sufficiency for elderly residents and families with disabilities. Is the public housing agency designated as troubled under 24 CFR part 902? No Plan to remove the 'troubled' designation The agency is not designated as troubled under 24 CRF part 902. However, based on U.S. HUD's report entitled "Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) Score Report for Interim Rule" dated October 16, 2012, the agency is designed as "Substandard," having received a score of 66 out of a possible score of 100. To improve upon its performance, the agency will implement systems to enhance its operations based on several key measures, including the 1.5 Expenditure Ratio. In addition, the agency will implement improved systems to foster the expeditious close out of completed activities in IDIS. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 286 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.215(h) Barriers to Affordable Housing Land Use and Zoning City land use policies play a significant role in determining the amount and availability of affordable housing within a community. City land use policy guides the location of housing types and densities. Zoning is the planning tool for implementing housing development and regulating its construction. Through zoning incentives, private and non-profit developers can help a city address the housing needs of its low- and moderate -income population. Moreover zoning incentives that increase the density of housing development and provide for a mix of uses including transit, are important tools for expanding the local supply of both affordable homeownership and renter housing. Public Infrastructure Public infrastructure investment is an important catalyst for housing development activity; examples of improvements include, but are not limited to: street conditions, street lighting, street signs, sidewalks, curbing, adequate storm water drainage, and landscapes/streetscapes (including signage) in the neighborhood. Public infrastructure investment has been used successfully in South Florida when targeted to community redevelopment areas or when improvements are made in conjunction with purchase/rehabilitation housing programs. While the city has dedicated significant funds towards capital improvements in the Downtown area (i.e. the Port) and in the business districts of many of the neighborhoods, it is clearly evident that many residential streets within the city's NDZs lack adequate public infrastructure. Not only does this detract from the physical aesthetics of the streets and surrounding neighborhoods, it also transmits a message that there are not enough monies to work on those neighborhoods. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing Land Use & Zoning - Miami 21, which went into effect in 2010, is a new urban -oriented code that serves as a blue -print for creating pedestrian -friendly neighborhoods, brings coherence to the city's zoning code, and ultimately new development. Miami 21 provides incentives to developers to build new affordable/workforce housing through a program that allows bonus building capacity in exchange for the developer's contribution into the Miami 21 Public Benefits Trust Fund, which is in part utilized for the development of affordable/workforce housing. Miami 21 represents a significant step forward in terms of the revenue generated to support affordable/workforce housing compared to the past. Combined with ongoing efforts by the Department of Community & Economic Development, these efforts place the city in a highly proactive position to close the gap on the affordable housing challenge Public Infrastructure - The city will continue to invest economic development dollars for capital improvements in residential areas. Public infrastructure projects such as road improvements and street resurfacing have taken place in some NDZs and other low-income neighborhoods. The challenge with this barrier is that the need for capital improvements is greater than the funding available. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 287 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Predatory Lending - The city filed suit against Bank of America, CitiGroup, and Wells Fargo alleging that these banks violated the Federal Fair Housing Act by engaging in a pattern and practice of issuing predatory mortgage loans to minority residents, resulting in a rash of foreclosures that cost the city millions in tax revenue. According to the lawsuit, the banks have unlawfully imposed different terms or conditions on loans issued to minority residents on a continuous basis since at least 2004. The city position is that these banks engaged (and continue to): (1) Redline by refusing to extend credit to minorities on equal terms as to non -minorities and, (2) reverse redlining in that they routinely charge minority residents' predatory terms in minority neighborhoods based on the race or ethnicity of its residents. Minorities were charged higher interest rates and fees than white loan applicants, regardless of their credit history and were likely to be given unfavorable terms —such as prepayment penalties, adjustable interest rates, and balloon payments —that increased their odds of falling into foreclosure. Through the lawsuit, the city seeks to prevent the banks from continuing to issue predatory loans to minorities in the future, thereby seeking to reduce the number of foreclosures that will blight the streets of Miami. Mismatch between a Prohibitive Real Estate Market and Stagnant Wages - Provision to remove barrier: Despite a correction in the real estate market from the height of the housing boom, Miami remains unaffordable and still in need of official affordable housing programs that make units accessible to low-income renters and buyers. The city intends to continue to focus its efforts on building and preserving affordable housing options for low-income residents as well as encouraging them to seek city services, such as those affiliated to ACCESS Miami, which is dedicated to increase resident's access to wealth building tools such as financial counseling and job placement services. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 288 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-60 Homelessness Strategy — 91.215(d) Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Miami's Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP) serves as the front lines in the City's fight against homelessness and has handled street outreach services for the City for over a decade. The City uses 60% of its ESG allocation to fund MHAP's Outreach Service activities with a goal of assisting approximately 2,600 persons per program year by providing them with residential shelter placement, and non- residential services including engagement, case management, emergency health services, emergency mental health services, transportation, and services to special populations. MHAP is HMIS-ready and also receives separate funding from the Homeless Trust to provide street outreach services in other parts of the County, outside of City of Miami limits. MHAP staff work the streets, talking to and engaging with the unsheltered to handle intake properly utilizing the CoC's universal Homeless Verification form, subsequently assessing and referring the person to services available in the community including one of five area shelters, a specific shelter for victims of domestic violence, an emergency care center for medical treatment, a substance abuse treatment program, transitional housing programs (based on availability), the Florida Department of Children & Families, the Florida Food Stamp Program, the Social Security Administration, the Dade County Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, the U.S. Veterans Administration, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS), and/or Legal Services of South Florida. The MHAP enters all information into HMIS, thereby assisting the CoC in having accurate data as to characteristics of persons who are living on the streets. The program currently operates twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. If the shelters are at maximum capacity, and there is a homeless family, MHAP also assists in placing them in a hotel/motel until space in the shelter opens up so that children are not on the streets. These hotel/motel costs are paid for by local Food and Beverage (tax) dollars, collected by Miami -Dade County. MHAP follows the County -wide CoC's outreach process, called "Outreach, Assessment and Placement" (OAP), which is provided on the street in a daily, non -aggressive fashion, and as a result of service requests from homeless persons, social service agencies, religious organizations and law enforcement personnel. OAP teams are composed of formerly homeless persons and social services professionals. Referrals are made to the level of housing, as appropriate, or to ancillary services, as may be needed. The established OAP process requires on -the -street preliminary assessments and typical information and referral that encompasses five elements: outreach engagement, preliminary psycho -social assessments, placement/referrals, follow-up and re -engagement (for individuals placed into housing by OAP who leave and return to the streets). Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons Consolidated Plan M IAM I 289 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) The Trust oversees the emergency/transitional housing needs of the homeless and has issued standards of care for all housing providers, they contract with, to follow. The CoC works with numerous 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 (mental illness, substance abuse, AIDS). Emergency housing typically spans 60 days in an existent Homeless Assistance Center (HAC), a facility that provides short-term shelter, showers, clothing, food, mail, telephones along with counseling and the development of a "case plan" for each individual. The two community HACs are operated by the Chapman Partnership for Homeless (CPH), an entity that serves as the local private sector partner to the County, acting through the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust. A not -for -profit organization, CPH was charged early on with siting, developing, and operating up to three Homeless Assistance Centers, commonly referred to as HACs. To date, two HACs have been built, based on the community's determination of its emergency housing need. These HACs are campus -style facilities that are one -stop centers in that they take a holistic approach to addressing the needs of the client. HAC 1 is located at 1550 North Miami Avenue (close to Downtown Miami), and HAC 2 is located outside of the City of Miami, on the grounds of the former Homestead Air Reserve Base. Meanwhile, transitional housing spans six to nine months with a focus 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. AM 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. In addition, the Trust contracts with over two dozen private and public not -for -profits for all direct services. These agencies offer a full continuum of supportive services to the area's homeless population. Services currently provided include: outreach, prevention, stand alone supportive services, emergency, transitional (treatment), and permanent supportive housing. According to the Housing Inventory Count Report submitted in December 2013, there are presently 1615 emergency shelter year-round beds, 28 safe haven beds, and 2054 transitional housing (TH) beds in the CoC, with no new transitional housing beds planned. The CoC is considering reallocating the funding of some of these TH beds towards permanent supportive housing. The County (via the Trust) also maintains 3,996 permanent supportive housing beds. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and 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, facilitating access for homeless individuals Consolidated Plan MIAMI 290 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again. When analyzing the data from the most recent PIT in regards to the sub -populations identified, the two characteristics found most frequently, are mental illness and substance abuse, in both the sheltered and unsheltered categories. This data would seem to indicate that a bulk of homeless persons are battling another underlying issue(s) and as such, are in need of housing and supportive services. Addressing these needs given dwindling funding on a federal, state, and local level creates several obstacles. First, establishing on -going support services for persons who are formerly homeless is difficult. Secondly, unemployment levels in South Florida continue to be some of the highest in the nation and lack of employment is a key factor in a person's ability to retain housing and finally, there is a limited 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 to the Little Haiti Gateway Apartments (70 SRO units) also in Little Haiti. Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education or youth needs The City utilizes approximately 30% of its ESG funds towards Rapid re -Housing and Homelessness Prevention activities, with the latter administered by a sub -recipient via a program known City and County -wide as HAND (Homeless Assistance Network of Dade, Inc.). Besides this, as a member of the CoC, the City supports the Memoranda of Agreement signed back in 2007 that established discharge policies for all agencies that provide services to homeless persons or those at risk of homelessness. The interagency Agreement includes the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust, State and County Correction agencies, the 11th Circuit Court, Jackson Memorial Hospital/Public Health Trust, community mental health facilities, Our Kids, Inc., and the Florida Department of Children and Families. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 291 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i) Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards Lead poisoning is a serious, but preventable, public health problem that can result in long-lasting neurological damage to young children. Lead poisoning is defined as a blood lead level greater than or equal to 10 mL of whole blood. According to the Miami Health Department, lead poisoning cases have been steadily declining in Miami -Dade County during the past decade, with 95 cases reported in 2012, compared to 120 cases in 2011, and 214 cases in 2010. Please note that as per the Miami -Dade County Health Department, the spike in 2010 correlated to a large immigration of Haitians to Miami after the earthquake in Haiti. Upon analyzing those County cases solely within City of Miami zip codes, the data reinforces that decline. The DCED addresses LBP hazards by continuing to support public awareness campaigns with the Miami -Dade County Health Department, and by providing information on lead hazards to all Section 8 clients, HOPWA clients, and participating homeowners in the City's First-time Homebuyer and Single -Family Rehabilitation Programs. It also works with the City's Office of Communications to air lead awareness Public Service Announcements on the City's Cable TV channel. The City refers all potential cases of lead contamination to the Miami -Dade Health Department for their screening and reporting. It also incorporates lead testing into any environmentals done on housing -related properties built before 1978. Based on a residential property's age, the City also requires that the cost of remediation of all lead based paint hazards be included in the project budget and scope of work as a condition of funding of all single-family rehabilitation cases. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? As noted in the zip code map provided, there were a total of just under 50 lead cases reported in all of the City of Miami in 2012, as per the Miami -Dade County Health Department. The latter provided data to the DCED solely by zip code, and not specific addresses, due to confidentiality concerns. To that end, some of the cases indicated in the map could very well be cases that lie in one of the City zip codes that intersect with another jurisdiction, and as such the case could technically not lie within the City's geographic boundaries. In conclusion, 50 cases in a City of some 400,000 people is an extremely low percentage of cases (.0125%) and indicates that lead is not of extreme health concerns within City limits at this time. In 2012, the City's Single -Family Rehabilitation Program assisted 30 income -eligible homeowners with code/compliance issues and lead was identified in only one of those homes, so again the likelihood of lead issues is low. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? In the DCED's single-family rehabilitation program general contractors are required to check for and mention if there will be any lead or asbestos removal required during the rehabilitation. If so, these remediation efforts are handled first. In the first-time homebuyer program, disclosures are made to the Consolidated Plan MIAMI 292 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) client from the onset -- even before they close on a home, advising them of the potential of lead contamination in homes built prior to 1978. All clients in the Section 8 program are provided with a copy of the HUD pamphlet on lead -based paint entitled Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home. Also, all unit inspections related to Section 8 include an assessment of deteriorated paint surfaces, and guidelines indicate that all deteriorated paint must be stabilized or abated, even if the property is exempt under the Lead -Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act (42 U. S. C. 4821-4846), the Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (42 U. S. C. 4851-4856), and part 35, subparts A, B, M, and R of Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Meanwhile, all HOPWA clients are required to sign and provide a Lead Paint Disclosure form (H27) along with a signed lease as part of their move -in procedures.

The most recent Census reports indicate that from 2007-2011, 27.7 percent of Miami's population was below the poverty level. That is significantly higher, than that of the State's which approximates that 14.7 percent lives below the poverty level. Although the City's poverty numbers have slightly improved in the last decade, there is still much work to do. Developed just over a decade ago out of what had been the then -Mayor's Anti -Poverty Initiative, City leaders united multiple poverty initiatives that had been successful or were showing potential, and combined these into one cohesive yet flexible program that could be tailored to respond to the demands of Miami's unique community where language and cultural differences abound and the Census estimates from 2007-2011 indicate that 58.4% of the population is foreign born and 77.6% speak a language other English at home ages 5 and up. Known as ACCESS (Assets, Capital, Community, Education, Savings and Success) Miami, the program is a comprehensive, cost effective poverty reduction strategy aimed at increasing residents' access to the financial tools and education that are fundamental to economic prosperity and success. The flexibility of the program is also crucial, so that new programs can be integrated as these arise, and others can be concluded should they no longer satisfy a community need, as the latter change. The goals of ACCESS Miami are as follows: facilitate access and provide a seamless opportunity to enable our residents and business entrepreneurs to obtain the needed resources, along with the benefits they are entitled and eligible to receive through the linkage and integration of services; add new programs that enhance the existing financial independence efforts; create self-sufficiency as a means to an end; define the middle class and help it grow; focus on the "incentive" towards future outcomes; encourage family unity and families building assets; and, make banks and credit unions accessible to tomorrow's workers. In order to meet these goals, ACCESS Miami runs several different programs. They are grouped around the program's four cornerstones:(1) Access to benefits: (a)tax preparation assistance (EITC campaign) at several locations; (b)The Benefit Bank;(c) Access Miami Jobs web site, www.miamigov.com/accessmiamijobs; (2)Access to Capital for Small Businesses: (a)Micro-lending in cooperation with the local Small Business Administration office; (b) Buy Miami marketing effort, www.miamigov.com/buymiami; (c) Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) Business Center in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Commerce, www.mbda.gov/businesscenters/miami, which provides strategic business consulting services to minority -owned firms resulting in the creation and retention of jobs; (3) Accumulating Wealth & Assets: (a) Matched Savings Fund; (4) Improving Financial Literacy: (a) Access to Financial Education (free trainings for the public); (b) Pastoral Roundtable meetings (hosted quarterly in order to disseminate information to the public in the inner city); (c) Financial Coaching.

If the Single Audit contains audit findings or contains a management letter, the subrecipient may be selected for a Comprehensive On -Site Monitoring Review. 2. Regular On -Site Monitoring Review. This review consists of a site visit and will achieve a balance between programmatic and fiscal review. Most of the documentation needed for this review can be completed prior to the on - site visit during the In-house desk review. The regular on -site monitoring includes a tour of the program facilities, meetings with program and administrative staff. As a result of this visit, the Analyst may determine that a comprehensive review is needed for further clarification of one or more issues that arose during the on -site visit. Program staff may be asked to define the strategic plans for the programs being funded and how those plans are used to assist clients in those programs. a. Financial Review Contract Analyst will review the connections between the program budget, expenditures, and actual beneficiaries assisted; including reviewing payroll documents for the service period, bank accounts and will check that expenditures are all allowable and necessary. b. Invoices. Contract Analyst will randomly select invoices for review and will trace the payments back from the corresponding CDBG reimbursement. c. Case File Review Ensures that a national objective is being met by verifying beneficiary information. All beneficiary files must be in order and properly show the beneficiary's eligibility. On a typical public service program, the number of files to be reviewed will be the lesser of 10% of the total number of clients served or 20 client files. If there appears to be areas that require further verification, the Contract Analyst may request additional files to be reviewed. 3. Comprehensive On -Site Monitoring Review In addition to performing a Regular Review, this review is focused around a particular activity or program area, such as but not limited to: Financial review for expenditures for ineligible activities; Financial review for expenditures that cannot be traced through supporting documentation; Denial of services for apparent no valid reason; Client/Peer complaints for unfair business practices. All monitoring reviews are conducted by a properly trained Contract Compliance Analyst. As to comprehensive planning requirements, the DCED worked with the Planning Department to make sure certain incentives were included in the City's current zoning code (Miami 21) for developers who adequately certify that a minimum of 80% of the dwellings will serve residents at or below 60% AMI for no less than 15 years from the issuance of the property's Certificate of Occupancy. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 300 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Consolidated Plan MIAMI 301 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Expected Resources AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction The DCED fiscal year runs from April 1st through March 31st which is six months earlier than the start of the federal fiscal year of October 1st. 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 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. As of the date this plan's draft was issued, the City had not yet received notification of the amount of entitlement funding it will receive for fiscal year 2014-2015. 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 Poverty Initiative 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 (multi -family rental and homeownership projects), as delineated in the Affordable Housing Trust guidelines approved by City Commission in Resolution #07-0203.

The Zoning code allows for this increase in the floor area in new developments, and for every square foot of increase a specific amount is collected. Funding awards are approved by the City's Housing & Commercial Loan Committee and/or the City of Miami Commission.

Funding for the SHIP program was established by the passage of the 1992 William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act. Funds are allocated to local governments on a population - based formula. SHIP funds are deposited into the State of Florida's Local Government Housing Trust Fund. Total actual disbursements are dependent upon these documentary stamp collections. The State Legislature can, and has, used these funds for purposes other than housing thereby reducing the amount available to municipalities. Given the current economic times, the DCED cannot rely on the fact that this funding amount could be renewed in the coming fiscal years, so we are leaving the anticipated amount for the remainder of the Consolidated Plan term at $0. MIAMI OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 307 Program Source of Funds Uses of Funds Expected Amount Available Year 1 Expected Amount Available Reminder of ConPlan $ Narrative Description Annual Allocation: $ Program Income: $ Prior Year Resources: $ Total: $ Other public - local Other 255,853 0 0 255,853 1,023,412 These are dollars awarded to the Miami Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP), a unit of the City of Miami Neighborhood Enhancement Team Dept., to handle its own contract with the CoC (Trust)to handle outreach to unsheltered homeless persons outside of City limits and throughout the County, whereby MHAP travels to the individuals to properly assess them and integrate them into the local CoC. In the event it is a homeless family and shelter beds are unavailable, MHAP also facilitates moving them into a motel/hotel (assuming funding is available). According to MHAP, this is the average amount they have received for the past several years via the Trust's NOFA RFP. Table 57 - Expected Resources — Priority Table Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Miami (DCED) is exempt from a HOME match due to our high levels of poverty. In regards to ESG funding, dollars are matched as follows: the Consolidated Plan MIAMI OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 308 sub -recipient, Citrus Health Network, Inc., has matched their amounts for Rapid Re -Housing and Homelessness Prevention dollars with approximately $120,000 from the Veterans Administration and another $65,000 from Our Kids. The Miami Homeless Assistance Program matches any dollars it receives with the grant dollars it receives via application (RFP) from the CoC's NOFA. The Department (DCED) matches any Administration dollars it utilizes from ESG with HOPWA funding. Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) M IAM I 309 If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The DCED currently manages a portfolio of approximately 50+ parcels that are owned by the City of Miami. Some of these sites can or must be used to address some of the needs identified in this plan. These parcels each have limitations associated to the type of development that can occur on the individual site. As funding becomes available, the DCED incorporates the appropriate sites in a Request for Proposals (RFP) which is properly advertised and then publically issued to interested parties who have to meet certain thresholds of experience, knowledge, financial capacity, etc. RFPs are reviewed, scored, and recommendations presented to either the City of Miami Commission or the City's Housing & Commercial Loan Committee, comprised of private individuals with different specialties in the banking, housing, private/public sector who volunteer their time and meet several times a year to award funding. This Committee was granted the authority to make these decisions by the City of Miami Commission.

Consolidated Plan OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) M IAM I 331 AP-50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(f) Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The city works mainly on a citywide basis to provide services to all its low -to -moderate income residents. Nevertheless, the city continues to support a 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 in the NDZs. The NDZ concept is a comprehensive 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: • Create physical improvements through infrastructure and streetscape improvements, code enforcement, and removal of slum and blight; • Improve housing conditions by targeting rehabilitation and new construction assistance in the NDZ; • Stimulate economic development through facade improvements and other forms of targeted business assistance; • Improve the living condition of residents; • Spur economic growth and revitalization. The geographic distribution of funding is not directly driven by the NDZ, but rather by the district in which it is located. The city attempts to work with private sector partners and community -based organizations to serve neighborhoods within NDZs, but no specific percentage of funds is reserved for these target areas as the funding is extremely limited. The city allocates its funding on a citywide basis unless otherwise noted in this plan. Geographic Distribution Target Area Percentage of Funds Model City NDZ 0 Little Havana NDZ 0 Edison, East Little River, Little Haiti NDZ 0 Wynwood NDZ 0 Overtown NDZ 0 Allapattah NDZ 0 Coconut Grove NDZ 0 City of Miami 100 Table 60 - Geographic Distribution Consolidated Plan MIAMI 332 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 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 is beneficial to area residents. Grant funding, is therefore, best utilized with the premise that it will directly assist low -to -moderate income residents.

This shall be accomplished by implementing the strategies that concentrate in alleviating citywide housing needs. As depicted in the Housing Needs Assessment, Miami is a city where wages and job growth have not been able to keep up with the increasing cost of living, as such nearly half of city residents are cost -burdened. </div> One Year Goals for the Number of Households to be Supported Homeless 26 Non -Homeless 62 Special -Needs 1,544 Total 1,632 Table 61 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Requirement One Year Goals for the Number of Households Supported Through Rental Assistance 1,570 The Production of New Units 50 Rehab of Existing Units 12 Acquisition of Existing Units 0 Total 1,632 Table 62 - One Year Goals for Affordable Housing by Support Type Discussion Consolidated Plan MIAMI 334 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP-60 Public Housing — 91.220(h) Introduction Miami -Dade Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) oversees Public Housing throughout the County, including within the City of Miami's jurisdiction. Much of the information cited here is attributed to PHCD which is committed to provide to low, very low, extremely low and moderate - income residents of Miami -Dade County with: • Quality affordable housing opportunities. • Neighborhood revitalization and stabilization activities. • Partnerships with private and public entities to optimize resources through innovative programs • Efficient and effective management of resources. PHCD administers over 9,100 public housing units. The waiting list for public housing is currently closed. There are over 70,000 people on the tenant based list and over 40,000 remaining on the project -based list. It varies depending on the bedroom size and program. The City has done an analysis of PHCD"s units and approximates that approximately 6,000 of these are within City of Miami limits. Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing As identified in its most recent Consolidated Plan, the PHCD plans on the following action during the next year: Renovate or modernize public housing units: • Implement FYs 2011-16 Capital Fund 5-Year Action Plan. • Utilize contractors for projects presented in the Five Year Action Plan. • Continue the Job Order Contracts (JOC) program as necessary which is a rapid method of contracting from a pool of pre-screened group of contractors to do vacant unit repairs. The units are inspected by PHCD staff, and a list of line items are selected from a pre-set unit price table containing a number of repairs with fixed prices. Provide replacement public housing: • Coordinate with various agencies to make best efforts to identify Annual Contribution Contract (ACC) equivalent units within the HOPE VI Target Area for low income families and elderly persons. The HOPE VI Target Area (TA) boundary is defined in BCC Resolution 1416- 08 as bounded by NW 119 Street, NW 7 Ave., NW 36 Street, and NW 32 Ave. Improve public housing management (PHAS Score): • Continue with the Quality Assurance Review (QAR) program for resident files. Consolidated Plan MIAMI OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 335 • Continue the applicability of the Enterprise Income Verification (EIV) Improve voucher management (SEMAP Score) • Maintain or improve the current SEMAP Score of 83%. Increase customer satisfaction: • Provide improved communication with management and referral services to residents. • Section 8 will continue to receive and assess customer surveys to improve communication. Concentrate on efforts to improve specific management functions: • Deliver timely and quality maintenance services to public housing residents. • Maintain preventive maintenance efforts. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership In an effort to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management, PHCD has implemented quarterly meetings with resident councils to provide training on various aspects of resident organization and empowerment. In an effort to encourage homeownership, PHCD also coordinates the County's Section 8 Homeownership program which was approved by the Miami -Dade Board of County Commissioners (BCC) in December 2001. The Section 8 program is comprised of 14,904 allocated Housing Choice Vouchers (including 125 VASH) and 2,101 Moderate Rehabilitation project based units. Additionally, PHCD administers 987 units under the Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program and Stewart B. McKinney Act Shelter Plus Care Program, targeting assistance to disabled homeless individuals with mental illness, substance abuse and/or HIV/AIDS. a. Size of Program: • PHCD is limiting the number of participants in the homeownership program to 200. Currently, there are 188 families in the program. b. PHCD-established eligibility criteria: • The family must be currently in good standing with the housing agency, including no outstanding debt to PHCD for previous quality standard damages or unpaid rent. Meet HUD income requirements. Must earn the minimum wage equivalent to 2,000 hours annually at the State of Florida minimum rate. The family must be in compliance with the current lease. The family shall not have quality standards violations existing in the unit. The family shall not have a history of late payments. The family must not have a previous default on a mortgage obtained Consolidated Plan MIAMI 336 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) through a PHCD homeownership program. As an alternative to homeownership, PHCD may consider pursuing lease -to -own options for homeownership units. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance No. Discussion PHCD is not designated as troubled under 24 CRF part 902. However, based on U.S. HUD's report entitled "Public Housing Assessment System (PHAS) Score Report for Interim Rule" dated October 16, 2012, the agency is designed as "Substandard", having received a score of 66 out of a possible score of 100. To improve upon its performance, the agency will implement systems to enhance its operations based on several key measures, including the 1.5 Expenditure Ratio. In addition, the agency will implement improved systems to foster the expeditious close out of completed activities in IDIS. Consolidated Plan MIAMI 337 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i) Introduction As required under 91.220, below are the City's one-year goals and action steps for reducing and ending homelessness through the channels defined in the federal regulations. All of these steps are intended at all times to align and complement those of the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust, the main body behind our local Continuum of Care (CoC). Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs Miami's Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP) serves as the front 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, emergency mental health services, transportation, and services to special populations. MHAP staff work on City streets, talking to and engaging with the unsheltered to handle intake properly, subsequently assessing and referring the person to services available in the community including one of five area shelters, a specific shelter for victims of domestic violence, an emergency care center for medical treatment, a substance abuse treatment program, transitional housing programs (based on availability), the Florida Department of Children & Families, the Florida Food Stamp Program, the Social Security Administration, the Dade County Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, the U.S. Veterans Administration, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS), and/or Legal Services of South Florida. The MHAP enters all information into HMIS, thereby assisting the CoC in having accurate data as to characteristics of persons who are living on the streets. The program currently operates twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. In FY2012-2013, MHAP received 60% of the City's ESG allocation, and assisted 2,626 persons, including 75 veterans, 15 victims of domestic violence, 146 elderly persons, 23 persons with HIV/AIDS, and 581 chronically homeless persons. It also provided outreach to approximately 1400 persons with disabilities including 516 persons who are severely mentally ill, 495 persons with chronic substance abuse issues, and 425 persons with another disability [not specified]. Our ESG funding has since been significantly cut, and so are target numbers for FY 14-15 have been adjusted accordingly. MHAP follows the County -wide CoC's outreach process, called "Outreach, Assessment and Placement" (OAP), which is provided on the street in a daily, non -aggressive fashion, and as a result of service requests from homeless persons, social service agencies, religious organizations and law enforcement personnel. OAP teams are composed of formerly homeless persons and social services professionals. Referrals are made to the level of housing, as appropriate, or to ancillary services, as may be needed. The established OAP process requires on -the -street preliminary assessments and typical information Consolidated Plan M IAM I 338 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) and referral that encompasses five elements: outreach engagement, preliminary psycho -social assessments, placement/referrals, follow-up and re -engagement (for individuals placed into housing by OAP who leave and return to the streets). Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City/DCED does not fund or operate emergency shelters/transitional housing. However, in FY 13-14 the DCED awarded approximately $100,000 in ESG funding to the Miami Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP) to pay for the hotel/motel vouchers of homeless families/individuals whenever there is no appropriate emergency shelter available for them. This is considered an eligible ESG strategy under the Shelter Operations category. As referenced in NA-40, the City recently approved allocating approximately $240,000 from the City's FY12-13 budget to Camillus House towards emergency shelter, to provide 100 mats exclusively designated for the City's homeless in the Camillus pavilion for the nightly use of homeless individuals, along with meals, showers, restrooms, etc. 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 (mental illness, substance abuse, AIDS). Emergency housing typically spans 60 days in an existent Homeless Assistance Center (HAC), a facility that provides short-term shelter, showers, clothing, food, mail, telephones along with counseling and the development of a "case plan" for each individual. Meanwhile, transitional housing spans six to nine months with a focus 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. 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 I, is located in the City of Miami (near downtown) and opened in October 1995. The second center, HAC II, opened in October 1998 in South Miami -Dade, at the former Homestead Air Force Base. As of Dec. 2013, the continuum's housing inventory (year-round beds) was as follows: 1,615 emergency shelter beds, 28 safe haven beds, and 2,054 transitional beds, amounting to a total of 3,697 in this category, plus 13 overflow/voucher beds. Meanwhile, there were 3,996 permanent supportive housing beds amounting to a grand total of 7,693 beds in the continuum. Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to Consolidated Plan MIAMI 339 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again When analyzing the data from the most recent PIT in regards to the sub -populations identified, the two characteristics found most frequently, are mental illness and substance abuse, in both the sheltered and unsheltered categories. This data would seem to indicate that a bulk of homeless persons are battling another underlying issue(s) and as such, are in need of housing and supportive services. Addressing these needs given dwindling funding on a federal, state, and local level creates several obstacles. First, establishing on -going support services for persons who are formerly homeless is difficult. Secondly, unemployment levels in South Florida continue to be some of the highest in the nation and lack of employment is a key factor in a person's ability to retain housing and finally, there is a limited 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 to the Little Haiti Gateway Apartments (70 SRO units) also in Little Haiti. Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, 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 institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The City continues to fund rapid re -housing and 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 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 of homeless 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 in 2007, A Memoranda of Agreement was set up for all agencies that provide services to homeless persons or persons at risk of homelessness. This Interagency Agreement includes the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust, State and County Corrections agencies, the 11th Circuit Court, the local public hospital (Jackson Memorial Hospital), community mental health facilities, and the Florida Department of Children and Families. The Miami Homeless Assistance Program has Consolidated Plan M IAM I 340 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) worked with Jackson Memorial Hospital and Community Mental Health Centers to establish and implement discharge procedures for homeless individuals, ensuring that they have an adequate supply of medication upon discharge and that the appropriate services (ancillary and/or housing) are provided. Individuals referred by these agencies are assessed by a specialized outreach team within 24 hours of initial referral and are usually placed in an emergency shelter within a day of the assessment. Discussion In September of 2013, the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust's Board of Directors approved a new plan 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, to set 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. This strategy aligns the Trust with HUD's objective to end chronic homelessness by 2015.

First, because Miami is the 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 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 is unable to realize cost - savings attributed to economy of scale or higher density housing projects. Also, due to our area's sea levels and proclivity to hurricanes, building codes tend to be stringent and thereby costly. Also, although they vary considerably in different parts of the City, land costs in most neighborhoods are high which makes it difficult for the private market to construct affordable housing for lower income households in 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 miles 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. Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment At the last general election (2012) in Florida, state voters approved constitutional amendment eleven (11) which offers an additional $50,000.00 homestead exemption to seniors 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 in Florida from a portion of documentary stamp taxes on the transfer of real 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 30% 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 state-wide, via the funding of Consolidated Plan M IAM I 343 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) two programs -- the SAIL (State Apartment Incentive Loan) program provides low -interest loans on a competitive basis to affordable housing developers and the SHIP (State Housing Initiatives Partnership) program, which provides funds to local governments as an incentive to create 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 balance their books leaving the SHIP program severely unfunded. The City has lobbied on 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 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 minimum of 80% of the dwelling's units as affordable 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 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 amending 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 of permits towards the legalization of remodeling work and additions to existing buildings done prior to March 1, 2002. This program was 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 income projects in the code until recently. The DCED believes that incorporating some type of mandatory inclusionary zoning program into the Code could allow for the development of mixed -income neighborhoods and keep essential public -sector employees such as police officers, teachers, and firefighters residing in the communities they serve, all while boosting affordable housing supply and promoting social inclusion. In late February, City leaders approved an amendment to Miami21 which will allow for a relaxation of zoning standards for mixed -income residential projects, with delineations in keeping with the state's SAIL 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% AMI, or providing at least 20% of the units serving residents at or below 50% AMI. Also, the DCED plans to continue 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 especially 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 housing law violations, pursuing enforcement of meritorious claims, and conducting fair housing Consolidated Plan M IAM I 344 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) education and outreach. Their insight into fair housing matters is crucial in the DCED's efforts to affirmatively further fair housing. Consolidated Plan M IAM I 345 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k) Introduction: The following introduces other actions/strategies the City of Miami will implement, whenever possible, in FY2014-2015 to, • Meet underserved needs; • Foster and maintain affordable housing; • Reduce lead -based paint hazards; • Reduce the number of poverty -level families; • Enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City of Miami, through the Consolidated Plan, petitions for federal funds to assist the needs of residents that have traditionally been underserved by existing local social service programs. The activities funded are carefully designed to provide appropriate and needed services, particularly to those that may not be eligible for assistance from other local sources, those that are geographically isolated by lack of transportation, and those that lack basic amenities in their neighborhoods. As an example, for senior citizens and homebound frail elderly persons, physically and developmentally disabled persons, and infants and youth, funds provided through the Consolidated Plan often make the difference between independent living and institutionalization. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Efforts planned to foster and maintain affordable housing include: continue to implement neighborhood revitalization via the Neighborhood Development Zone (NDZ) concept which encourages public and private development (Miami's NDZs are explained in SP-10); support mixed use and mixed income development throughout the City; make efforts to assist existing homeowners bring their units into safe and sanitary conditions; make HOME funds available towards new construction and rehabilitation of multi -family structures; continue providing rental subsidies to over 1,400 families on a yearly basis, etc. Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards In 1978, the use of lead -based paint was declared hazardous and prohibited in residential housing. Due to the proportion of pre-1978 housing units within the Miami city limits, the city is required to comment on efforts to identify housing units in which lead may be present and to remove this hazard. 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 Consolidated Plan M IAM I 346 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 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 to 1978. Asbestos assessment and lead -based paint reports are generated from the inspections to identify the presence and location 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 by Florida OSHA. In addition, 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'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 hazards 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. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families The City strives to reduce the number of poverty level families by supporting human development and economic development activities that facilitate the creation and retention of employment opportunities allowing extremely low- and very low-income residents to move toward self-sufficiency. The City seeks to reduce the number of poverty -level families by supporting human development and employment programs that facilitate the creation and 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 enhancement. Traditionally, the norm has been to provide funding to organizations rendering social services, housing, economic development programs, and services to 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 to develop 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 Consolidated Plan M IAM I 347 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) service agencies The city participates in a number of boards and committees such as the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust 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 collaborate and bring the necessary services to community. The DCED continues to work to enhance the programs and services it already provides to many of its residents and promotes cooperation among industry leaders from both public and private agencies. Discussion: Consolidated Plan M IAM I 348 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Program Specific Requirements AP-90 Program Specific Requirements — 91.220(I)(1,2,4) Introduction: The following addresses the program specific requirements for the Annual Action Plan. It includes information regarding the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnership Program, and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(I)(1) Projects planned with all CDBG funds expected to be available during the year are identified in the Projects Table. The following identifies program income that is available for use that is included in projects to be carried out. 1.

Overall Benefit - A consecutive period of one, two or three years may be used to determine that a minimum overall benefit of 70% of CDBG funds is used to benefit persons of low and moderate income. Specify the years covered that include this Annual Action Plan. 70.00% HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) Reference 24 CFR 91.220(I)(2) 1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows: The DCED will utilize State Housing Initiative Program (SHIP) funds from the State of Florida, as well Consolidated Plan M IAM I 349 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) as Affordable Housing Trust funds (AHTF). 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 (downpayment assistance, emergency rehabilitation/replacement, foreclosure prevention). The AHTF collects financial contributions from private developers who desire to take advantage of the floor area bonus provisions allowed in the City's Zoning Code. The amount collected is specific to every 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. Housing programs include: assistance to for -profit and not -for -profit developers for homeownership or rental developments, existing homeowners, and first-time homebuyers. All AHTF funding must obtain approval by the City's volunteer Housing and Commercial Loan Committee and/or City of Miami Commission. 2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows: If the owner sells and/ or transfer the house before the end of the City's mortgage 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 'gain', 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. 3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows: Multifamily Rental projects which have been funded by the City will be monitored according to established procedures during the affordability period and as stated in the Rent Regulatory Agreement (Agreement) signed with the City of Miami. The duration of the affordability period will depend on the total City funding in the project. The Income and Rent monitoring (tenant eligibility) will be based on annual Adjusted Rent and Income Limits as published by U.S. HUD. The monitoring will include confirmation of tenant eligibility and rent structure for the initial lease -up which will be held at the time of the construction close out process. In addition, an annual tenant eligibility monitoring will begin 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 Consolidated Plan M IAM I 350 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) on -site file review, the documentation of a sample of 10% or more of Tenants is analyzed to confirm compliance with all HOME regulations. Upon completion of this review, an exit interview is conducted with the developer/property manager to discuss results. If in non-compliance, potential remedies are discussed to be considered in the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) with specific due dates established for the corrections. If in compliance, the project is certified in compliance for a year. 4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows: We do not plan for this, and so we do not have guidelines for any such program. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) Reference 91.220(I)(4) 1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) This is provided as an attachment to address rapid re -housing and homeless prevention activities. 2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system. The Homeless Trust provides a central point of entry for any family who finds themselves homeless, the toll -free Homeless Helpline which serves to direct people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness to prevention and outreach services, and allows for a centralized intake system. Families who call are directed to the Trust's central prevention provider, Camillus House, who employs clinical 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 HPRP, or as planned, ESG prevention and rapid re -housing programming. The Homeless Trust has a sophisticated network of geographically placed homeless outreach providers who are engaged in street outreach and are accessible via the phone line as well. Individuals or families who require immediate shelter placement are referred to an outreach team for shelter placement. Families with minor children are provided shelter regardless of capacity. If there is no room in the shelter system, outreach teams provide placement into a hotel until such time as a shelter bed becomes available. The Trust contracts with agencies (City of Miami and Miami Beach) to provide homeless outreach County -wide (Miami provides 24 hour coverage). The outreach teams serve as gatekeepers 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 as outreach workers for people experiencing chronic homelessness. The CoC has almost finalized one, standardized intake form in to assess a person who is homeless — titled the Homeless Verification Form -- so that all entities in the intake process are using this universal document to make necessary referrals to services in the community and to properly enter this person in HMIS. This is important due to the large number of agencies who participate in the CoC — their distances Consolidated Plan M IAM I 351 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) from one another — and their inability communicate frequently. A sample of that form is attached. 3. Identify the process for making sub -awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith -based organizations). The City has historically awarded the bulk of its ESG funding to the Miami Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP), a City unit that has handled homeless street outreach since 1991. MHAP's staff -- many of 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 Verification Form, report all necessary data in HMIS, and participate in the bi-annual Point -in -Time (PIT) counts of homeless persons, County -wide. Currently, 60% of the ESG allocation (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 issued an RFP in the summer of 2013 accepting submissions from those entities seeking the remainder of ESG funding towards rapid re -housing and homelessness prevention activities. All RFPs 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 as the Housing Assistance Network of Dade (HAND). Prior to this, Citrus also successfully managed the former HPRP program for both jurisdictions. Presently, 25% of the City's ESG allocation is directed towards homelessness prevention activities, while 7.5% is directed towards rapid re -housing activities. 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 a greater percentage towards homelessness prevention activities given the unique set of circumstances surrounding a high level of foreclosures in Florida and Miami during the past several years, which has left many more persons in the "at -risk of homelessness" category, with few resources to assist them. According to Realty Trac (November 12, 2013), amongst the nation's 20 largest metropolitan statistical areas, Miami posted the highest foreclosure rate with one in every 264 housing units with a foreclosure filing. Miami foreclosure activity in October 2013 increased 7 percent from a year ago boosted by a 51 percent jump in scheduled foreclosure auctions. 4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. Of the 27-members serving on the Board of the Trust, three are formerly homeless persons. Aside, from this the DCED invited all CoC agencies via e-mail to its five public hearings, and notified the Homeless Trust of this Consolidated Plan, as well as providing specific sections of the CP addressing homeless -related issues and activities to them for their review. 5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG. When assessing street outreach efforts, the DCED monitors its agreement with MHAP, checking in Consolidated Plan MIAMI 352 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) on their efforts on a quarterly basis, to confirm they're on target to meet their annual goal 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 case 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 of total funding allocated to the activity by that average case assistance amount. In FY 13-14, this amounts to roughly 28 homelessness prevention cases and 6 rapid re -housing cases. In conjunction to these quantifiable goals, a set of performance (qualitative) standards has been established to ensure that these projections are met. These standards are as follows: • Monitor the number of households assisted who return to shelters after Homelessness prevention or Rapid Re -housing Assistance is provided. At least 70% of households will continue to be in stable housing at least 90 days following the period of assistance; • Monitor the number of households that are assisted directly from a shelter; • Based on need, ensure that 100% of clients are being referred to other appropriate supportive services in the community; • Issue payment to program landlords within 14 days of receiving a request for payment package; • Leverage programmatic dollars by ensuring that assisted clients are contributing towards their recovery from homelessness.

SHORT-TERM/MEDIUM-TERM RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM 24 CFR 576.106 Program Description: The Short/Medium-Term rental assistance program provides temporary financial assistance services to individuals and families who would be homeless but for this assistance and provides assistance to rapidly re -house persons who are homeless. This assistance will allow families and individuals to remain in their existing rental units or to help them obtain and remain in rental units they select located within City limits. Rental assistance may be tenant -based or project -based. Initial assistance will be for a period of up to three (3) months. However, assistance can be extended for additional nine (9) months, if participant is able to show progress towards financial sufficiency. Notwithstanding the financial situation of a household, the maximum total assistance cannot be more than a period of 12 months including any payments made towards rental/utility payments in arrears. Short -Term rental assistance for prevention may not exceed rental costs accrued over a period of 3 months (not including rent in arrears). ii. Medium -Term rental assistance is only available for rapid re -housing and may not exceed actual rental costs accrued over a period of 6 months. Rapid re -Housing participants do not need an income recertification every three months, but they do need an in -person meeting with the case manager to recertify compliance with their share of the rent payment, and the required monthly contacts with the case manager.

Must be residents of the City of Miami; 2. Must have household income at or below 30% of area median income (AMI) as published annually by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. However, in the event of Rapid -Re -Housing cases only (effective 11/2013) households with a gross income at, or below 50% of the area median income in initial entry, can qualify for assistance (max 3 months plus security deposit). These households (50% AMI or below) will not be eligible for additional assistance after re -certification if their income is not at or below the 30% of AMI. 3. Case files must include a completed eligibility form and certification (which meets HUD specifications) that the household meets the eligibility criteria; 4. Records must be kept for each program participant that document: the services and assistance provided to that program participant; compliance with requirements under 24 CFR §576.1 01-106, 576.401 (a) and (b), and 576.401 (d) and (e); and, when applicable, compliance with the termination of assistance requirement in § 576.402; 5.

HOUSING RELOCATION AND STABILIZATION SERVICES Program Description: This program provides for services that assist program participants with housing stability and placement. These services are limited to the following and may only be provided to eligible participants receiving Rental Assistance as highlighted above in program #1. I. Case Management An initial evaluation is made to determine the eligibility of each individual or family's eligibility for ESG assistance and the amount and types of assistance the individual or family needs to regain stability in permanent housing. The following services are provided by the ESG provider: a. Refer ineligible households to other agencies for assistance; b. Refer eligible households to other agencies who can provide assistance in improving the financial situation of the household; c. Certify households for extensions based on household's actions made towards financial sufficiency; d. Refer eligible households for legal services in landlord/tenant disputes and approve payment of legal expenses, if such legal services attempt to keep the tenant in their current housing; e. Require the program participant to have contact with a case manager not less than once per month to assist the program participant in ensuring long-term housing stability; and f. Develop a plan to assist the program participant to retain permanent housing after the ESG assistance ends, taking into account all relevant considerations, such as the program participant's current or expected income and expenses; other public or private assistance for which the program participant will be eligible and likely to receive; and the relative affordability of available housing in the area. g. If the household is potentially eligible for more than 3 months of assistance (rapid re -housing cases only), the case must be scheduled for reassessment at least two weeks prior to the beginning of the fourth month, and re -assessment documents will include: (1) HUD/HMIS Assessment Form (with any applicable updates); (2) an Updated Household Budget; (3) Income Eligibility Form; (4) Staff Certification of Eligibility for re -assessment; (5) Housing Stabilization Plan; Program Services and Deliverables In compliance with the previously described ESG program requirements, the ESG provider will provide the following services: Housing Inspections Lead Based Paint Standards HPandRRstandardspage4 Consolidated Plan 4 M IAM I 358 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Visual assessments are required for ALL units receiving financial assistance if constructed before 1978, and child under 6 or pregnant woman will live there. If remediation is needed, follow 24 CFR Part 576.403. ESG provider will coordinate the inspections which will be completed by trained housing inspectors through subcontracted providers or in-house staff. Habitability Standards Under ESG, applicable to all financial assistance, including assistance that is limited to rental arrears in current housing unit must conduct a Habitability inspection. (Inspection requirements See Attachment 1) Rent Reasonableness Rents must be the lower of fair market rent as published annually by US Department of Housing and Urban Development or the rent reasonableness standard for the apartment. SUBRECIPIENT will obtain the survey to determine if the rent is reasonable and comparable to area rents for similar units through subcontracted providers or in-house staff. Program Reports SUBRECIPIENT will complete monthly reports for the City consistent with the reporting requirements of the U.S. HUD ESG Program. Program Performance Standards The City projects that 24 persons will exit homelessness and another 16 persons will avoid homelessness under the grant. A set of performance standards has been established to ensure that these projections are met. These standards are as follows: • Monitor the number of households assisted who return to shelters after Homelessness prevention or Rapid Re -housing Assistance is provided. At least 70% of households will continue to be in stable housing at least 90 days following the period of assistance; • Monitor the number of households that are assisted directly from a shelter; • Based on need, ensure that 100% of clients are being referred to other appropriate supportive services in the community; • Issue payment to program landlords within 14 days of receiving a request for payment package; • Leverage programmatic dollars by ensuring that assisted clients are contributing towards their recovery from homelessness. Termination of Assistance-576.402 If a program participant violates program requirements, the SUBRECIPIENT may terminate the assistance in accordance with a formal process established by the SUBRECIPIENT that recognizes the rights of individuals affected. The SUBRECIPIENT 5 HPandRRstandardspage5 Consolidated Plan M IAM I 359 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) must exercise judgment and examine all extenuating circumstances in determining when violations warrant termination so that a program participant's assistance is terminated only in the most severe cases. However, the assistance may be terminated or denied for the following reasons: • They are currently receiving HAND assistance, but are not paying their agreed upon share of rent. In addition they do not have documented reasons about additional circumstances as to why they are unable to do so. • They have received HAND assistance within the past year and have not provided documented evidence of an additional financial or medical emergency that would cause them to risk their housing stability again. (This does not apply if household is currently homeless). • The household has received the maximum assistance allowable by HUD or other applicable funders in the past three year period. Program participants receiving rental assistance or housing relocation and stabilization services To terminate rental assistance or housing relocation and stabilization services to a program participant, the required formal process, at a minimum, must consist of: • Written notice to the program participant containing a clear statement of the reasons for termination; • A review of the decision, in which the program participant is given the opportunity to present written or oral objections before a person other than the person (or a subordinate of that person) who made or approved the termination decision; and • Prompt written notice of the final decision to the program participant. Ability to provide further assistance Termination under this section does not bar the SUBRECIPIENT from providing further assistance at a later date to the same family or individual. HPandRRstandardspage6 Consolidated Plan 6 M IAM I 360 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Attachment 1 Habitability Standards for ESG Organizations providing rental assistance with ESG funds will be required to conduct initial and any appropriate follow-up inspections of housing units into which a program participant will be moving.

We have 30 to 40 young people every week coming in seeking additional services and we feel these services are a priority. Additional funds would help us support this need. Senior Services and Elderly Housing Miriam Urra, Allapattah Community Action, Inc. Speakers comments translated from Spanish. Will sequestration continue? We are very worried about any future cuts to our federal allocation. This community is comprised of humble people and many elderly persons and they are constantly coming to us for aide because they simply don't have enough in SSI or retirement funds who are seeking an affordable rental unit and our two buildings have extensive waitlists. Is there something we as an agency can do to advocate for these funds -- with our clients, residents -- as we would like to do so. A mailer, signatures, please us know. Facades - Economic Development Victor Seijas, ABDA, Inc. We have had difficulties with the facade program running out of funds and if there's anything we need to follow up on please let us know. Count on us. Economic Development, Public Improvements Unidentified woman Translated from Spanish. I want to thank the Commissioner for helping us fix the street where I live. We hope it continues. We need street lighting for pedestrians along 17th Avenue. Also, perhaps cross walk signs would be helpful for elderly persons like myself. Allapattah needs continued improvements. Economic Development, Public Improvements Raul Pedroso Two years ago we spoke with this body here, and I went around the neighborhood and collected 300 signatures in Allapattah from people asking the Commissioner and City indicating that we need lighting on 17th Avenue. The City is on the verge of another boom -- and money will be coming -- but where is the parking that will accommodate the buildings go up on 17th Avenue and what about the residents living here, who need lighting. [Turned in petition with signatures.] What am I asking for? Lights for 2 1/2 years. Please Commissioner, work with the County to make this happen for us. No one is addressing the lights or landscaping along 17 Avenue, and it is the worst in the City of Miami from the River to 36th Street. We don't need any more affordable ousing in an area where streets are full of holes and there are no lights. Build those someplace else where you have the infrastructure. Facades - Economic Development Xiomara Pacheco, ABDA, Inc. We believe our agency is helping a lot of businesses along 17th Avenue via the facade program. Child care services Sue Loyzell, YMCA of Greater Miami I am here to thank the Commissioner for his support of the YMCA of Allapattah and seeking additional support for our pre-school. There is a need for childcare so that parents can work and we look for your assistance so that families in Allapattah can have their children taken care in a day care center, with some type of scholarship and financial assistance. Child care services Gretel Arroyo, Centro Hispano, Catholic Charities We want to thank you for your assistance but it is very little funding and we are hoping for additional funding in the coming year so we can assist additional parents and families in the future. District 2 - Tuesday, August 13th, 6 p.m. (note: meeting did not record/technical difficulties) Topic Name Comment Child care services Nilsa Velasquez, KIDCO, Inc. Thanked the Commissioner for his support of the non-profit, which operates several childcare centers throughout the City of Miami, including one in the Wynwood neighborhood. Are hoping for continued funding in the upcoming Fiscal Year. Services for special needs population Helena del Monte, ADE, Inc. Speaker discussed her agency and it's role offering services to adults with special needs and thanked his District for its support during the past several years. Agency operates a location in the Wynwood neighborhood. Youth services Countess Baloguin, St. Paul CDC Agency located in the West Grove and provides services to youth. They plan on applying via the RFP process to provide youth services, specifically parenting workshops. Historic preservation Becky Makov, Dade Heritage Trust Entity is seeking funding for a revolving preservation fund so that historic homes can be retrofitted and renovated to provide affordable housing (ownership) for low- to moderate -income persons. District 3 - Friday, August 16th, 5 p.m. Topic Name Comment Facades - Economic Development Luciano Garcia, CAMACOL Thank you for your support. We look forward to continue working within your District on this program. Services for special needs population Helena Del Monte, Association for the Development of the Exceptional Thank you to the Commissioner for his support and also to the Department. I am the voice of adults with developmental disabilities and I want to remind HUD and this audience that many of our consumers have intellectual, physical and mental health challenges. And after the age of 21, the School System ceases to serve them, and our agency takes it from there and provide employment training and support services but the funding very scarce for this population. We cannot access Children's Trust dollars because they are not children, and we cannot access elderly dollars either. This is a niche population and we depend very much on these CDBG dollars to serve our consumers. Child care services Jeanette Amador, Centro Mater Childcare Center Centro Mater has been in the community for 45 years and we are asking for continued support of our site and its children. Afterschool services are crucial in our community as many parents cannot help their children with homework and they need help so as NOT to fall behind in their Academics. Economic Development - multiple topics including facade, youth, public facilities. Corina Moebius, Resident, business owner, Little Havana Merchant Alliance, Viernes Culturales We need more accessibility and awareness of this process and having some way of facilitating getting information out to the public - perhaps via Internet. It would have helped to have the agenda to today's meeting ahead of time. I commend the Tower Theater rehabilitation as it is a very important, historic space to our community. I see the Community Center on the schedule of projects, and I wonder how that location was selected as a major economic development activity in our District. [This was explained.] I consider that area one of more affluence (near the Roads and Shenandoah) by that location, and I feel there is so much neglect in East Little Havana and we have so many families here, in relation to funding social/cultural/educational spaces, to think of this area and providing things for young people to do. I hear from youth that there are not a lot of recreational opportunities for them here. I am a fan of the facade program but if there were a way to focus the money to businesses that are having a positive, ripple effect on others near them vs. the 5 and dime. Sometimes, people don't understand the selection of the businesses that participate in the facade program. Also, we need accountability for those participating in the 14-15 RFP. I think ED is the way to go for obvious reasons. it would be great to execute efforts to help District business owners; many do not have the skills to do this on their own. Elderly services Elisa Juara, Little Havana Activities & Nutrition Centers Good, nutritious, cost-effective meals for the elderly are crucial to the elderly. It is a pity that the federal government is cutting dollars to what is most important. Besides food, our location is a place for recreation for the elderly. Miami is great but we have different groups and there are a lot of poor, elderly people. Youth Services Diavenys Chavez, Sagrada Familia, Catholic Charities Thank you for your support. We look forward to continue working within your District on this program. DNA Resident, Luis Herrera Arrived late. I am reviewing the information. I need that before I can speak. District 4 - August 19, 2013, 6 p.m. Topic Name Comment Housing Jenny Shpirt My family is made up of architects/builders and we have moved from Los Angeles. We are buying apartment buildings and rehabbing them and I am here to know more about how it works -- the different programs offered with federal funding in the City. Elderly services Elisa Juara, Little Havana Activities & Nutrition Centers As you know we are concerned about sequestration and any further cuts. Although the meals we provide to low-income elderly at our elderly locations are important, so too are the English classes, the exercise classes, and the arts and crafts programs that we operate at our locations. We also help them with their social services problems -- food stamps, social security, etc. We are their second family. Thank you for your support, we will continue doing our job as we are proud of what we do. we have been doing this for more than 40 years. Services for special needs population Helena Del Monte, Association for the Development of the Exceptional Thank you for your support and your visit to our site to see what we do live. I am just the voice of 350 adults with developmental disabilities in need. On a point to HUD, I think the way HUD can be more instrumental is by letting areas be more authoritative on what the area needs. If that could happen, we would not have this situation we are in. In other words, this year are need is as follows. They should create a think-tank on the process they set up, so that the dollars in each community can be better leveraged. Special needs - homeless women Ana Frascante, Lotus House Women's Shelter Want to express our gratitude for the funding we have received since the beginning of the shelter towards homeless women and children -- we provide daycare, shelter, access to medical care, three meals a day. Homeless women are sometimes invisible, at friends homes, Laundromats, storage units to avoid being open up to victimization. With this funding, we have assisted over 1,000 women to date, and over 80% of those who have completed the program have transitioned to homes off the streets. District 5 - August 14, 2013, 6 p.m. Topic Name Comment Economic Development - businesses Roy Hardemon As a citizen and representative of the Liberty City Trust, I believe most of the dollars in Liberty City should be invested in NEW businesses. We need to create these. Many of the things in Liberty City remain the same. The money is dwindling and we need the resources to be where they need to be -- bring it to the Liberty City Trust so we can work on our community. Econ. Development - Public facilities & improvements Ken Knight Around the country, Community Development "leads" projects, why does the local Department not do that? We have to make sure that if local CBOs don't have the capacity, then you work together to make sure you can build that capacity. There should be attention paid to infrastructure -- there hasn't been a paved street along 7th Avenue around 71st Street, 75th Street, 77th, in in many years. The City should interact with the County to make sure that improvements are made - they have the year 2039 targeted for water and sewer improvements for our community. Most of us will be gone by then. Businesses in the inner city cannot come on line if there is no infrastructure to support it. Econ. Development - micro- business, public improvements Peter Ehrlich District 5 is comprised of many neighborhoods in our area -- there are 12 or 13. We here in Lemon City try to work closely with the City. There are 35 new companies here in our area that employ more people than the businesses they replaced, our roads have been resurfaced with help from Public Works, there is no graffiti. We also work with the Police Dept. There are two new buildings -- on 60th and 61st Street. We are thankful for the programs that are offered with these federal dollars as it does make a difference. Public Service Helena Del Monte ADE serves adults with disabilities, many of who are double or triple diagnosed and may have several challenges -- developmental, emotional, intellectual. Its up to us to develop their skills and abilities -- life skills, vocational skills, multi -level curriculum to adapt to different challenges -- after the school system's assistance ends (at age 21). I would like to thank the Commissioner who has been at our organization and supports our consumers. I am very proud that my agency has a perfect audit with the City of Miami and that's what we need to claim to be able to get the little dollars that are out there in the community. Youth services Saliha Nelson I represent Urgent Inc., a community based organization celebrating 20 years in 2014 and are based in Overtown. Our mission is to empower young minds to transform their communities. We are appreciative of the funding we have received in the last several years as it has helped fill some important gaps. I am also representing the newly formed Overtown Children Youth Coalition, stakeholders focused on improving outcomes of our children and youth up to age 24 in Overtown. We are residents, professionals, organizations that realize with the limited amount of funding we have to do a better job of working together and have several initiatives under way. One is to receive the Florida Children's Initiative designation from the State of Florida, which realizes in a policy way that there is a severe gap in supporting the development of young people. I would say there is no community development without youth development. Three important needs that are young people have area: Trauma due to community and domestic violence and its important to allocate resources to address trauma in youth; not a lot of resources to promote the success of our teens from ages 15 to 24 to address college completion or specialized job training. It's no longer good enough to throw peanuts at public services ...leaving young people behind. How can we create a financing vehicle to support a sustainable investment in young people for youth training/employment purposes - a portion of impact fees, community development fees, paying a portion to give back to the young people in the community. Public Service Grady Muhammad In the D5 handout you have here, it shows a lot of money in reserves -- that money should be spent expeditiously given all the needs in D5. We used to have Youth Build, teaching children how to build homes and be gainfully employed. The black community is getting shafted by the Children's Trust and it's a travesty - they claim crime in Normand Isles and Miami Beach equals Liberty City. HUD regs require is a zero -based merit system, so that every year when the organization comes it should be based on the merit and the need so that you can give the opportunities to a new organization and eliminate the other agencies that are not doing their part. The elderly and seniors in D5 there is no plan to rehab their homes -- we don't want outsiders to come in and take advantage of them with predatory lending. Public Service Constance Collins I represent the Lotus House Women's Shelter and are based in Overtown although we serve the entire district. Over 80% of those who come through our shelter get the support services they need to transition outside of the shelter. We provide women and children with wraparound support services. We also provide life skills and training. We want to thank the City for their help since we opened our doors in 2006. We turn away women and children every day because we do not have the capacity to provide for their needs. We hope you can continue to support us. Public Service - elderly services Laverne Holliday Thank you for your support of Curley's House. I know we are getting cut and this will be very detrimental. The State of Florida is being $60 million in food stamps, and this will affect our District very much. We need to lobby and go to Washington. We need to work together for public service and for job creation, and hopefully we can get things done. Public Service - childcare Claudia Rojas I represent Notre Dame Childcare Center - thank you so much for your funding which is used to help pre-school children and their families, to help them get reac Public Services - Job Training Ludnel St-Preux I am Dep. Director for Sant La. In our community, unemployment is about 25-30% and we have many people suffering and hurting. When I see your report, I see that our district's total numbers for employment and training are low. I am respectfully asking you to set the priorities because a JOB is the first step to financial stability for this community. [Explanation that job training falls under the Public Service Activity category.] Public Services - Youth Services Andrea Fleming I am an Overtown resident and representing Women in Transition of South Florida, Inc., a non-profit organization that helps empower, educate and enhance the Public Services - Childcare Silvia La Villa I represent KIDCO Childcare, Inc. and we want to thank the City for its support. Our locations provide childcare services so that mothers can work. We also servic Economic Development - public facilities and improvements Eileen Bottari I am a director of the North Palm Grove Community Organization. North Palm Grove is a historic neighborhood and last year, our reps began working along with the Shorecrest Homeowners Association with Commissioner Audrey Edmonson to coordinate with the State of Florida to make improvements on the 79th Street Corridor to include additional lighting, intersection lighting, crosswalks, resurfacing of the street, from Biscayne Bay to NW 14 Ave. One of the things we would like to see, especially west (4th Avenue) of the FEC railroad which is 79th Street through Little River, which is no sidewalks, no proper drainage, and poor lighting. I would like to see some CDBG targeted towards this area, to attract more businesses towards that commercial area. Public Services Marten Bastien I head FANM, we are a one -stop center in Little Haiti who provide mental health services to strengthen families, crisis counseling, psychosocial assessments, we also have health access - connecting families to health care. We also have an afterschool program and adult education (literacy and computer skills). I want to impress upon you the responsibility that each of us has - we should not rely on government to communicate with our legislators on what our needs are. We need to make our voices heard, to tell our leaders that we are tired that they do not invest in support services, in our families, our children, and our future. Lastly, this center [Little Haiti Cultural Center] needs a Creole speaking manager and personnel who can address persons who visit this site. We need to invest in this cultural model. Lastly, Little Haiti. We want official boundaries for the Little Haiti neighborhood and we want to take it before City Commission so that others will stop encroaching on our space. Please support us. Economic Development - micros; Public services; job training for youth Ragastan Paul Addressing the micro -enterprise program, I have found as someone who works with these that some businesses are expressing they need more than one or two years of funding. The required coursework they received as part of the micro funding was very helpful but it would be ideal if the training could be more consistent, throughout the year, helping them develop additional skills. Also training for the trainers would be good also. Many youth are left with no where to go, with nothing productive to do, with no available part-time jobs in the community at their disposition to help them build work skills and make some money to assist their parents/households. Public services - youth services Andre Williams I represent and own a company called Urban TV.Com. I think visual media is important to connect with youth in the community. I live and work in incubator space in Overtown. There is a gap between older and younger Floridians -- and you don't know how to reach those kids. There's a disinvestment and disinterest in the community. So we engage Overtown and we do creative shows for Overtown -- positive shows about the wonderful things taking place in their community. There needs to be a strategic campaign that shows the community -- that raises awareness and makes people feel important. Note: The comments noted here are summarized. Four of the five meetings were recorded in their entirety.

As you all already, this target area is one those areas that reflect the highest poverty indicators for the past three decades within the city limit. This year process is quite special in my opinion since the City has for the very first time allows the public to react before it sends the final product to USHUD in Washington DC. It is our hope that City Leaders will continue with this trend in the future. A.- THE LITTLE HAITI DISTRICT The Segment featuring Edison Target area lacked information in the area of ethnic diversity that exists in this particular community. It seems that the Planning department has avoided the issue of ethnicity in its approach that I think does not reflect the reality in terms of different ethnic enclave that constitutes the City of Miami. I must caution strongly the City Planners in misidentifying the area known as Little Haiti. At the last meeting held by the Area Commissioner, Madame Michelle Spence Jones, the area that composes Little Haiti was referred to as the Little Haiti District that is composed of several neighborhoods, such as Limon City, Bel -Air, Buena Vista East and Buena Vista West and Little River. It is these haphazard decision made by Planners that has a tendency to create unnecessary confusion within the community. May be the area identify along 54 Street and 59 Street NE 2 Avenue could be or should be referred to as the L:ittle Haiti Business Sector instead of Little Haiti since the designation of the area above establishes bad precedent that Community Stakeholders will voice their opposition to it. It is bad judgment and incompetent to reduce the Little Haiti in the confinement of five (5) city block or so. As a compromise, at the December hearing hosted by Commissioner Spence -Jones, the Little Haiti was described at beginning in 54 Street NE from the East to 83 Street at the border of the City of El Portal to the North and from FEC Road Track on the East to 1-95 on the West. This ethnic enclave is made of Haitian nationals that brought in their own culture, religion, tradition, language, and particular creeds to build their own community. We are urging the City to properly identify the Little Haiti Business Sector and the Little Haiti District. The area commissioner upon reviewing and assessing the census track for this particular area should be able to declare an emergency for that area and establish a segment of that community under a Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Designation. B.- HAITIAN CREOLE LANGUAGE ACCESS The Consolidated has listed a certain number of historic partners with the City without establishing particular resources that these partners bring on the table. There is no indication about program performance, the major goals established for each particular target area during the period 2014 2018. It would be appropriate to put in place particular benchmarks in order to provide some type of measurements to city residents. The City of Miami should has a responsibility to comply with the LEP Executive Order taken by President Barack Obama in the early days of his Administration. In Complying with LEP, the City of Miami will avoid potential and unnecessary law suite that can be avoided. Language Access is one attribute that hampers effective social and economic development in this particular target area whose population is ill -served by the service delivery system. Adequate resources for language access have continued to impact on residents whose oral traditions have to be taken into account in developing community needs. With dwindling federal resources, and the inability of the State to respond, finding resources to address these concerns will continue to be a challenge. C.- Survivors of the 2010 HAITI QUAKE Still in need of Economic Assistance The majority of the Haiti Quake aftermath reside within the Little Haiti District and may have contributed for the City of Miami Housing demand as featured in the 2014-2018. The federal government should continue to provide some assistance to this category and help in allocating additional funding to City leaders to make housing more affordable to those whose income is below the $10,000 annual income. Several of these Miami are facing with the possibility of becoming homeless. The failure of Congress not to renew the emergency employment funds hampers this category to keep a roof over their head and make them vulnerable. With the possibility that no action will be taking this year in Congress, Immigration reform when enacted will seriously impact the Haiti Community. February 27, 2014 Mr. Jean -Robert Lafortune, M.Sc. Miami -Dade Community Action and Human Services Depaitiuent 150 NW 79th Street Miami, Florida 33130 Ref.: Citizen Input for the City of Miami FY2014-2018 Consolidated Plan Dear Mr. Lafortune, Thank you for your comments to the Draft Consolidated Plan (CP) FY2014-2013 and Draft Annual Action Plan FY2014-2015. The City of Miami welcomes your comments and will consider your suggestions to improve some of our city neighborhoods. As with any consolidated planning the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) is involved in, this and past processes included 30-day comment periods, in accordance to our citizen participation plan. It is regretful that you missed our newspaper and communitywide notices in previous consolidated planning cycles. The city is constantly working toward improving its outreach methods to ensure that we reach as many residents, public and private organizations, and other stakeholders as possible. Proof of this effort is the fact that you found out about our CP and were able to read the current draft. The DCED does not directly work in delineating Little Haiti Boundaries. The DCED receives federal monies and invests such dollars towards the improvement of neighborhoods and communities. Unfortunately, the amount of funding we receive is not nearly enough to address all the issues surrounding a particular area. As such, the DCED's efforts attempt to concentrate limited resources into smaller geographical areas named Neighborhood Development Zones. The Consolidated Plan does not attempt to delineate the Little Haiti boundaries, but rather to produce noticeable results by focusing on certain areas better poised for redevelopment. We will, however, refer your comments to the City of Miami Planning Department so that they are aware of your concerns. The City of Miami is aware of LEP Executive Order 13166, also known as "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency"; as such most of the programs offered in different neighborhoods around the city are administered by not -for -profit agencies whose staff members speak the predominant language of the area, understand the community's cultures and reach out to their residents. The City of Miami works with Citrus Health Network, Inc. and partners with the Homeless Trust to try to minimize the effect of those people struggling to fmd proper affordable housing and/or who fmd themselves on the verge of homelessness. The DCED works with different industry leaders to continue to provide sustainable affordable housing, but it has become a very difficult task as federal and state funding has diminished considerably in the past few years. Again, we thank you for your thoughts and will attach them to our final submission of the CP to U.S. HUD later this year. Sincerely, Roberto Tazoe, Assistant Director Department of Community Development
