Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
The Five -Year Consolidated Plan and its corresponding annual Action Plan are submitted to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and serve as the planning tools for
jurisdictions funded, 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.
These plans provide 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 FY2021 annual Action Plan is a yearly 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 and the annual Action Plan serve 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
Summary of Objectives and Outcomes Identified in the Plan
The City of Miami continues to experience a large population growth as evidenced by a 18.4 percent
growth rate from 2010 to 2017 (+71,896 residents) as well as an increase in household income which is
partly due to the increase in high -end, multi -family construction in the Downtown district bringing higher -
earning households to the market. However, most City residents are not able to keep up with the
expanding mismatch between household income and housing costs, as such an estimated 62.8 percent of
Miami's renter households are cost -burdened (housing costs in excess of 30 percent of household income)
and 35.4 percent of renter households are "severely" cost -burdened (housing costs in excess of 50 percent
of household income) as per US Census, ACS 2011-2015 5-Year Estimates. The City's median contract rent
of $1,041 is an increase of 32.1 percent since 2010.

2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
This is a City where socio-economic and housing trends for its residents are directly affected by a real
estate market that is still driven by a large investment of foreign capital. The City is located in one of the
top ten Metropolitan Statistical Areas with the widest wealth gaps and income disparities in the country
which correlates with the increasing housing costs City residents are experiencing. This trend has
contributed to the excessive number of cost -burdened households and overcrowding in the City. In
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 retirement income
(SSI).
Map ES-05.1: City of Miami Boundaries
Addressing non -housing community development needs is also a high-level priority for the City of Miami
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Consolidated Plan FY2019-2023 focuses
on stimulating neighborhood development through the implementation of programs, strategies and
coordinated planning to integrate public services, economic development, infrastructure improvements
and housing activities for low -to -moderate income households. Improved public services that provide
services to the elderly, disabled individuals, youth, children, and employment training are important as a
means to support our residents and to provide economic opportunities to families who, if it was not for
the provision of these services, would otherwise be unable to work or look for employment. The HCD
understands that economic development programs are vital for neighborhood revitalization; therefore,
the HCD 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
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 4
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
health and welfare of communities and assists the City in supporting infrastructure improvements such
as curbs, sidewalks, and other street improvements to sustain and revitalize neighborhoods. The following
are the specific goals and funding priorities the City is focusing on achieving in the next five years:
■ Expand and preserve affordable housing opportunities for homeowner- and renter- households
— Increase and preserve the supply of affordable housing through multifamily new construction
and multifamily rehabilitation efforts. Provide rental subsidies to make market units affordable to
lower income residents and continue providing direct financial assistance to new homeowners
for purchase as well as rehabilitation funds for existing homeowners to maintain their properties
affordable.
■ Provision of public services — Maintain and improve the delivery of social services for very low-,
low-, and moderate -income elderly, youth, children, and people with disabilities, homeless, and
those seeking employment training.
■ Creation of economic opportunities — Support business development and sustainability through
low interest loans and programs that assist businesses in improving their store fronts and
remediating code violations. Increase opportunities for job creation/retention and equitable
business ownership strategies. Provide technical assistance to for -profit businesses.
■ Make improvements to parks, public facilities and infrastructure — Increase equal access and
support activities that improve, upgrade, and make security enhancements to community parks,
neighborhood facilities and open areas designated for public use. Improvements to roads, streets,
and upgrades to water and sewer infrastructure.
■ Support homeless and special need populations — Continue to fund activities designed to address
or reduce homelessness rates such as street outreach, homeless prevention, and rapid re -housing
programs. Support long term rental subsidies for people with HIV/AIDS to assist in the reduction
of viral loads in an effort to eradicate the propagation of the viral condition.
In 2006, U.S. HUD 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 environment
2. Providing decent affordable housing
3. Creating economic opportunities
Outcomes:
1. Availability/Accessibility
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 5
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
2. Affordability
3. Sustainability
Evaluation of past performance
It is noteworthy to mention that the goals and outcomes set forth in the previous 2014-2018 Consolidated
Plan were based on projection of higher HUD funding. Despite cuts in funding allocations in all entitlement
programs, the City managed to continue servicing its residents to the best of its ability, acting in a
responsible manner to ensure that services provided and necessary infrastructure projects were not
affected by any funding reduction. As such, the City was able to, in many cases, maintain the same level
of service it had originally anticipated to provide.
Some of the highlights and accomplishments include:
Affordable Housing - During the last consolidated plan period, the City was able to add 621 new affordable
housing units and rehabilitate an additional 296 units. The City also assisted 94 low -to -moderate income
families in purchasing their first home through its down payment assistance program and an additional
77 families in maintaining housing affordability by rehabilitating their primary residences. Under the
HOPWA program, the City provided permanent housing assistance to over 1,000 households and short-
term housing assistance to at least 150 households. The City continued its commitment to eliminating
homelessness by funding Rapid Rehousing and Homeless Prevention programs where over 550
households were kept in safe and sanitary housing arrangements and off the streets. In addition to
programs funded with entitlement grants, the City administers approximately 392 Section 8 units to
provide additional affordable housing opportunities to its residents. In the last CAPER report, the City of
Miami reported the completion of 5 affordable housing projects, bringing close to 661 new/rehabilitated
units for city residents. The city also assisted 6 low -to -moderate income families in purchasing their first
home through its down payment assistance program and 6 families in maintaining housing affordability
by rehabilitating their primary residence. In addition, the city committed to fund the construction of over
1,160 additional affordable housing units with federal monies as well as utilizing funding generated
through the Miami Forever Bond.
Economic Development - The City focused on street and park improvements to enhance existing public
facilities in qualifying low -to -moderate income residential areas in an effort to improve accessibility and
sustainability of those neighborhoods while providing residents with safer and more attractive living
environments. The city also funded a commercial facade/code compliance program to support for -profit
businesses providing good and services to qualifying low-income residential areas.
Public Services - The City utilized CDBG and local funds to bring services to low-income families
and concentrated much of its efforts in servicing the elderly, youth, and disabled. Close to 1,000 low-
income elderly residents received nutritional meals and over 280 children and youth were able to take
advantage of programs that focused on learning and improving their well-being while allowing their
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 6
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
parents to continue to work or look for employment. The City also supported programs for the disabled
and those with intellectual disabilities.
Response to COVID-19 - The City utilized various supplemental (Cares Act and other) funding sources to
implement programs to assist residents and business owners affected by COVID-19. The City implemented
3 business assistance programs that provided temporary relief to 193 business. Likewise, the City
administered 3 rent/mortgage assistance programs to assist residents to remain housed. Under these
housing programs, the City was able to assist over 1,000 households. In addition, under ESG and HOPWA,
the City currently is implementing programs that allow populations that qualify under these programs to
receive temporary assistance for rent, mortgage, and utilities. All these efforts are being coordinated so
that no duplication of benefits exist.
On an annual basis, the City reports to HUD via its Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation
Report (CAPER) accomplishments for the fiscal year that just ended. The CAPER is due to HUD 90 days
after the end of the City's fiscal year. The latest CAPER for FY2019 was submitted on March 2021 (HUD
waiver) which highlighted the different outcomes and progress the City has made in meeting its goals in
the areas of public services, economic development, affordable housing and in its efforts to make
sustainable communities a reality.
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 Action Plan where the needs of
city residents, community -based organization, and private agencies were responsibly captured
and addressed. Similarly to last year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City needed to be cautious
and followed the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which
included social distancing and canceling events of 10+ people; therefore, virtual public hearings were
implemented. City efforts included advertisement in the city's website, email blasts, flyers, and public
service announcements.
During these virtual 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
virtual public meetings to discuss CDBG, HOME and ESG funding for the Action Plan were held via Zoom
which is one of the leaders in video communication solutions that allows for easy and reliable, ADA
compliant, video and audio conferencing across mobile devices, telephones, desktops, etc.
In addition, the city, as administrators of the HOPWA program, held an additional Zoom virtual meeting
to discuss the needs, expectations, and future plans for the allocation of program funds. In May 2020, the
City of Miami also updated its Citizen Participation Plan to introduce the potential of utilizing virtual public
hearings during emergency declarations. This new version of the plan improved upon the previous Citizen
Participation process by consolidating and standardizing areas and made citizen's accessibility its priority.
The City focused on a comprehensive citizen participation process that targeted all of its stakeholders in
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 7
2021

an effort to create a well-balanced and sensitive Action Plan where the needs of city residents,
community -based organizations, and private agencies could be responsibly captured and addressed.
The City held two virtual public hearings at the following dates:

Summary
The City of Miami FY2019-2023 Consolidated Plan and the FY2021 annual Action Plan aim 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.

The City of Miami Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is the lead agency
overseeing the development of the annual Action 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.
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.
Summary of Jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted
housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies
In order to enhance coordination between housing providers and other community development
stakeholders, the HCD participates in numerous boards: it sits on the Board of the Housing Committee of
the local Continuum of Care (CoC) (Miami -Dade Homeless Trust), it participates in the Advisory Council of
the HAND program which provides homelessness prevention and rapid re -housing funds 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 County. Participation in all of these committees/boards allow the HCD to stay
abreast of the latest developments in numerous publicly funded programs, and to address the public's
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 10
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
issues and concerns. Aside from this, the HCD 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, HCD'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 in -person communication is essential to the
collaborative nature of community development. Some of the entities we work with are as follows:
Homeless Services: Miami -Dade Homeless Trust, Citrus Health Network, Miami Coalition for the
Homeless, Inc., Department of Human Services, Carrfour Supportive Housing, Camillus House.
Social Services: Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership, Alliance for the Aging, multiple Social Service
providers servicing the elderly, youth, children, and persons with disabilities.
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), HOPE, Inc., Miami Realtors Association.
Economic Development: The Beacon Council, Democracy at Work Institute, National League of Cities,
Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs).
Health Services: Miami -Dade Health Department, Florida Department of Health.
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.
As voting members of the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust (MDHT) and its Joint Housing Services Committee,
the City of Miami seeks to share funding and ideas toward a coordinated effort to address homelessness
with the entire CoC working towards a "Housing First" approach.
The MDHT serves as the CoC for Miami -Dade County in accordance with the Homeless Emergency
Assistance and Rapid Transition to Housing Act (HEARTH). The MDHT has established a centralized
Coordinated Entry strategy in consultation with the City of Miami and other ESG recipients in the county.
This provides an initial, uniform comprehensive assessment of the needs of individuals and families for
housing and services regardless of how or where they enter the system. In addition, the MDHT has a
specific procedure that addresses the needs of individuals and families fleeing from domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault or stalking, but who are seeking shelter or services from non -victim service
providers.
The CoC has developed and implemented Standards of Care to ensure the health, safety and well-being
of homeless persons and to provide for higher coordination among the service provide community. The
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 11
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
City of Miami collaborates and engages in the day-to-day operation of some of these programs by
providing ESG funding for street outreach, rapid -rehousing and homeless prevention programs within its
geographic boundaries.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The City maintains a good working relationship with the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust and the overall CoC
and meets several times a year to discuss policy, procedures, programs and funding allocation, including
ESG dollars. In addition, the county and some other cities within Miami -Dade County utilize the same sub -
recipient, Citrus Health Network, to administer their rapid -rehousing and homeless prevention programs
funded with ESG monies. This program is locally known as the Housing Assistance Network of Dade
(HAND) program and covers geographical areas within the county mostly affected by homelessness. The
City and MDHT have made coordinated efforts to monitor the sub -recipient to ensure that Citrus Health
Network has been meeting the objectives of the program and to ensure that there is a consistent and
consolidated effort to report accomplishments.
The Miami -Dade Homeless Trust is the CoC's lead agency and has developed necessary policies and
procedures and performance standards, including the Policies and Procedures Manual for the CoC's HMIS
for all users and user agencies. The MDHT meets with participating partners to review project level data
quality and to discuss HMIS system updates. However, all CoC agencies are responsible for maintaining
their own compliance with federal regulations as set by U.S. HUD and with HIPPA standards.

Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting
The City did not consult with philanthropic agencies in the community. This type of entity has never
actively participated in the HCD's sponsored programs and activities. The HCD does not have direct
contact with these entities and did not have the ability to reach out to them. The City researched and
consulted with internet service providers regarding broadband access in Miami and found that broadband
availability was not an issue in the City, but rather an issue of subscribership. The full report can be
accessed in the Housing Market Analysis of the 2019-2023 Consolidated Plan.

The City has conferred with the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust, who operates the area's CoC, to align our
ESG goals with those of the Trust in order to best aide the homeless community with housing, resources,
and further supporting the main goal of ending homelessness. The City also confers with Miami -Dade
County's Public Housing & Community Development Department (PHCD), which serves as the County's
Public Housing Agency (PHA), to stay up-to-date on any renovations under way at Public Housing sites
(operated by PHCD) within City limits and any changes to their public housing goals. Attention is also paid
to the County's own Consolidated Plan submission to U.S. HUD, to understand their focus areas and
community development efforts in the County -at -large. The HCD has attended several of the Beacon
Council's planning sessions and reviewed its data and findings to better understand the economic needs
of our area.
For the implementation of the HOPWA program, the City consults and has active membership with the
Miami -Dade HIV/Partnership and works directly with the Department of Health to further the

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting
The HCD 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, economic
development providers, clients, and other City Departments are invited via a printed advertisement in The
Miami Herald, multiple e-mail blasts, and printed flyers mailed or electronically mailed out to all agencies.
In adherence to U.S. HUD's suggestions for informational meetings, at the virtual public hearings the
public was provided with informational visual material that included the latest total funding allocation
breakdowns and a historical review of past federal funding received. The virtual public meetings to
discuss CDBG, HOME and ESG funding for the Action Plan were held late in the afternoon in an effort to
allow more residents to connect to the virtual meeting.

The City of Miami provides General Fund dollars to leverage, and complement, approved CDBG-funded
public service agencies and to provide additional public services that otherwise could not be funded due
to the 15% CDBG cap on the funding of public services. These City funds, known as Social Service Gap
funds, help stabilize these agencies. The City of Miami Planning & Zoning Departments also collect
financial contributions (as stipulated by the current Zoning Ordinance) from private developers who opt
for specific provisions allowed by the City of Miami Zoning Code (Miami21) to developments providing a
certain number of affordable units in a given project, as defined by the Code. These collections are then
dedicated to the City's Affordable Housing Trust Fund (AHTF), with funding from this source used to
further the HCD'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.

Narrative Description:
Social Service Gap funds approved by City Commission on a yearly basis to
provide additional funding mainly to public service agencies.
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local
funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
The City continues to leverage federal dollars as part of its strategy to create new affordable housing
opportunities for its residents. During the 2014-2018 Consolidated Plan period, taking into consideration
completed housing projects only, the City invested $43.7 million while leveraging close to $310 million of
private and other public funding, creating or maintaining 2,125 affordable units. Miami (HCD) has been
determined to be a high poverty area; therefore, the City is only responsible for one half of HOME match.
These funds shall be matched with AHTF (local) funds and/or State Housing Initiative Program (SHIP)
funds to continue creating affordable housing opportunities or similar local funding. In regard to ESG
funding, dollars shall be matched by sub -recipients with funds that may derive from the Veterans
Administration or from the CoC's NOFA.
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 HCD 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 HCD 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
Disaster Response and Recovery
South Florida is an area vulnerable to natural disasters mainly related to extreme weather conditions such
as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, wildfires, and floods. Through the years, the City has
experienced its share of devastating disasters followed by aftermaths and rebuilding efforts. As such, the
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 23
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
City is always at high alert and maintains an up-to-date Hurricane Plan that deals with preparedness and
operational activities prior, during, and after a storm; establishes procedures to minimize storm -related
damage and protects the life of personnel and City residents. Understanding that the federal
government's function is to provide disaster relief through the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to meet short-term recovery needs, the City strongly
believes that there are scenarios where assistance is needed to safeguard the health and well-being of its
residents by addressing emergency housing repairs and providing long-term affordable housing solutions
among other essential services for residents in need after a natural or man-made disaster.
Need to Reallocate Funds in Case of a Disaster - The City is electing to leave open the option to utilize its
CPD funding for emergency, short-term assistance and/or long-term recovery assistance when those
activities are not fully funded by FEMA, SBA, or other alternative sources. If the City were to utilize its
CDBG funding, it would apply it toward activities allowed by CDBG regulations, including, but not limited
to meeting the interim assistance criteria defined under 24 CFR 570.201 (f)(2) to alleviate emergency
conditions. CDBG funds can also be used for other public service activities, not to exceed the 15% public
service cap, which would assist those impacted by the disaster. While the general rule is that CDBG funds
may not be used for income payments, such as rent and security deposits, food, and utilities, CDBG funds
may be used as emergency grant payments over a period of up to three consecutive months to the
provider of such items or services on behalf of an individual or family.
Funding Reallocation - Once South Florida receives a major disaster declaration, the City shall be open to
the possibility of reallocating its CPD funds toward eligible activities to help counteract the effects of a
disaster on its residents. Any and all CPD funds available or previously allocated to any activity on any
fiscal year may be reallocated toward disaster response and recovery. This decision is left solely to the
discretion of the City of Miami as it best see fit in the aftermath of a major natural or man-made disaster.
The City will, at all times, adhere to its citizen participation plan requirements.
Utilization of CPD Funding - As it is understood that HUD assistance is intended to supplement, not
replace, other public, private, and non-profit sector resources that have already been provided for the
same need or loss, the City will be careful to review and document household's eligibility, financial
resources, and other assistance available or reasonably anticipated for the same purpose as the CPD
program assistance in an effort to avoid duplication of benefits. The following are projects the City will
utilize CPD funds for in the case of a disaster:
• Public services (up to an amount not exceed 15% of CDBG allocation for the PY);
• Emergency housing rehabilitation (up to $1,000,000);
• Homebuyer programs (up to $1,000,000);
• Acquisition programs that purchase properties in floodplains (up to $1,000,000);
• Infrastructure improvements (up to $2,000,000);
• Demolition of buildings and unsafe structures (up to $2,000,000);
• Reconstruction or replacement of public facilities (up to $2,000,000);

Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved
needs
The needs assessment and housing market study revealed that a large portion of City residents, either
renters or homeowners, are cost -burdened or severely cost -burdened. In addition, City workers make less
than the average median income while the costs of living in the City is one of the highest in the nation. As
such, there are many low- to moderate -income residents in need of services, from affordable housing to
public services and economic development activities that can provide support for those families in need.
The main issue the City faces, however, is the lack of resources. The City utilizes its local, state and federal
resources to its maximum ability, allocating for various activities to help establish and create decent, safe
and affordable housing that improves the lives of its residents. The HCD also concentrates in providing a
variety of services for the elderly, disabled, and underserved in an effort to be socially responsible and
support those who have less resources to take care of themselves.
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 36
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
In FY2021, the City will once more concentrate its efforts in funding eligible programs based on the input
received though the citizen participation process. Provision of public services for the elderly would be one
of HCD's focus as well as the provision of additional affordable housing opportunities for City residents.
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: (1) Create physical improvements through infrastructure and streetscape
improvements, code enforcement, and removal of slum and blight; (2) Improve housing conditions by
targeting rehabilitation and new construction assistance in the NDZ; (3) Stimulate economic development
through facade improvements and other forms of targeted business assistance; (4) Improve the living
condition of residents; (5) Spur economic growth and revitalization.
The geographic distribution 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.

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.

The City of Miami will continue to allocate CDBG, HOME, HOPWA, and SHIP funding for the development
of housing opportunities. In addition to this funding, the City will invest approximately $100 Million
through the issuance of general obligation bond, the Miami Forever Bond, in order to build a stronger,
more resilient future for Miami.
Creation, maintenance, and resiliency shall be accomplished by implementing the strategies that
concentrate in alleviating citywide housing needs. As depicted in the Housing Needs Assessment section
of this plan, Miami is a City where wages and job growth have not been able to keep up with the increasing
cost of living, as such over half of City residents are cost -burdened.

AP-60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Miami -Dade Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) oversees Public Housing throughout

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 through a PHCD
homeownership program.
As an alternative to homeownership, PHCD may consider pursuing lease -to -own options for
homeownership units.

Assessment and Placement Program (COAP) by utilizing approximately 60% of its ESG allocation to fund
homeless outreach and engagement within the City of Miami with a goal of assisting approximately 3,500
persons per program year. The City will comply with the CoC's CE policies and procedures.
The City of 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 CoC for over a decade. MHAP
receives separate funding from the Homeless Trust to provide OAP services in areas outside of City of
Miami limits.
As detailed in the Miami -Dade County CoC's Coordinated Entry (CE) Process Policies & procedures, the
CoC's CE process is linked to street outreach efforts so that people sleeping on the streets are prioritized
for assistance in the same manner as any other person assessed through the CE process. An unsheltered
client who is refusing shelter may still obtain written homeless verification and referral for services,
including rental assistance focused on shortening their homeless episode in accordance with the CoC's
Housing First approach. Street Outreach (SO) includes two specialized behavioral health outreach teams,
Camillus House's Lazarus Project and New Horizon's PATH program. SO teams provide in -the -field
assessment of unsheltered persons and provide transportation following shelter or permanent housing
placement. MHAP works with the CoC's Housing Coordinator to place assessed homeless persons on By
Name List(s) for permanent housing placement in accordance with the CoC's Order of Priorities. MHAP
also assists persons on the street with obtaining necessary documentation (homeless verification, birth
certificates, I.Ds and social security cards) and makes referrals to community services and resources. SO
workers follow the HMIS workflow, which includes collection of the HMIS Notices and Disclosure and
HMIS Consent to Release and Exchange of Information. SO teams also attempt to place victims of
Domestic Violence (DV) in shelter designed for survivors of domestic violence.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Miami does not operate emergency shelters/transitional housing with the exception of the
Motel/Hotel Program providing immediate shelter to families with children when there no shelter beds
available. Chapman Partnership, which operates the county's primary shelters, provides case
management to families placed in motel/hotel. The City's MHAP teams work closely with CoC shelters to
coordinate placement into available shelter beds.
The continuum's housing inventory (year-round beds) is as follows: 1,716 emergency shelter beds, 24 safe
haven beds, and 1,266 transitional beds, amounting to a total of 3,006 in this category, plus 247
overflow/voucher beds. Meanwhile, there were 3,996 permanent supportive housing beds amounting to
a grand total of 7,249 beds in the continuum.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) 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
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 to supportive housing projects within City limits.
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 will award approximately 30% of its ESG allocation towards CoC rapid re -housing and homeless
prevention programs. Awarded providers will be required to comply with the CoC's CE policies and
procedures as well as Standards of Care for both program strategies. The City will coordinate its efforts to
ensure that the City's ESG funds are directed toward CoC priorities for prevention and RRH assistance.

Rapid Re-Housinq (RRH) targets families and individuals currently in emergency housing programs or living
in places not meant for human habitation, for the purposes of rapidly moving them into private market
housing. Rapid rehousing programs may provide rental assistance for up to 24 months or other types of
financial assistance required to secure permanent housing. Households receive supportive services on a
time -limited basis, including assistance with locating, securing, and stabilizing in affordable housing so
that they can independently sustain their housing after assistance ends. Rapid Re -Housing also includes
bridge housing for homeless persons who qualify, but are waitlisted for placement in permanent
supportive housing. RRH funded by ESG must be conducted in compliance with ESG regulations.
Homelessness Prevention provides cash assistance with rent and mortgages, security deposits, or utility
payments, made on a case -by -case basis to help to families and individuals at risk of becoming homeless
to resolve a housing crisis. Prevention funded by ESG must be conducted in compliance with ESG
regulations.
Other activities
In response to increased heroin overdoses, particularly in the urban core located in the City of Miami, the
state authorized a needle exchange program, the only one in Florida (the IDEA Exchange Program
establishes under the Florida Infectious Disease Elimination Act. The: harm -reduction focused IDEA
Exchange Program is operated by the Miller School of Medicine at the University of Miami. The Homeless
Trust and City participate in IDEA Exchange coordination.
In the fall of 2018, the City of Miami along with the Downtown Development Authority installed the first
permanent, public bathroom for the homeless. The bathroom is attended 12 hours a day (seven days a
week) by a person hired from Miami's homeless shelter who makes sure that the bathroom's rules are
followed and that it remains clean. It cost just over $300,000 and it is the first of its kind.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
The City has long had to combat several factors outside of its control that act as barriers to the
development and preservation of affordable housing. 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's form -based zoning code (Miami 21) provides flexibility and opportunities for higher
density, mixed used development which is fundamental to a city's affordable housing toolkit. However,
upzoning to stimulate higher density and mixed -use is no guarantee that affordable housing will be
constructed or preserved. In fact, upzoning will typically increase real estate values thereby creating an
economic disincentive to develop affordable housing.
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
The City of Miami, as part of its Affordable Housing Master Plan, will look into how Miami 21 can be used
to better encourage and target affordable housing development and preservation at the neighborhood
level in areas of opportunity. Higher densities and mixed -use design can be effective zoning tools in
creating mixed -income development projects coupled with job opportunities for low- and moderate -
income residents.
In the Summer of 2018, the City of Miami contracted the Jorge M. Perez FIU Metropolitan Center to
prepare an Affordable Housing Master Plan. After dozens of community workshops City-wide and focus
group meetings, the draft was issued in January 2020 and presented at special public meeting, before the
City of Miami Commission. The draft (http://bit.ly/3a8Dg1m) recommended multiple ways of growing
Miami's affordable housing supply from 20 to 25 percent of all housing units by 2030 including developing
multiple public -private partnerships and modifying the City's Zoning Code (Miami 21) to better encourage
and target affordable housing development and preservation at the neighborhood level in areas of
opportunity. The draft proposed the creation or preservation of 32,000 units within a ten-year period and
suggested getting to that number by leveraging some $85 million in voter -approved bond funding and
turning that into four to six billion dollars' worth of investments that could pay for the new or rehabbed
housing. The Commission had questions about the suggestions outlined and acknowledged receipt of the
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 44
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
plan. It also called for a subsequent workshop to address certain elements of the Plan, including
information on how a housing finance corporation model works in other Cities.
Some two months later, the COVID pandemic hit, and the City of Miami swiftly and sadly became a hot
spot in the State of Florida, struggling with escalating COVID-10 positivity rates, hospitals nearing capacity,
an emergency declaration, shelter in place order, and city-wide curfew. Miami's service industry, closely
tied to year-round tourism, was hit hard. In light of layoffs and job losses, City administrators had to
quickly pivot their attention to COVID relief programs, extending small business owners aide to stay afloat,
and rolling out the City's first emergency rental assistance program in May of 2020, to help its lowest
income residents (60% AMI and below) stay afloat. A second rental assistance program rolled out on
March 29, 2021, taking in some 2,800 applications in one month from households impacted by COVID
who 80% Area Median Income were or below. A subsequent workshop related to the draft plan was held
several months later (in October 2020) with guest multiple guest speakers from the local development
niche providing additional feedback on the draft plan and how this evolves is left to be seen.
In the Fall of 2020, in light of the local economic fallout from COVID-19 especially to low-income
households, and in consideration of the City's substantially lower average incomes when compared to
residents County -wide (as per US Census estimates), the City Commission passed a resolution to modify
the maximum Area Median Income for workforce housing in the City of Miami Zoning code. Workforce it
he latter had originally been defined as between 60% AMI and 140% AMI, but the resolution lowered that
span from 60% AMI to 100% AMI, as tied to the City's public benefits program. Commissioners wanted to
ensure that developers building workforce housing, and seeking incentives from the City towards that,
were in fact leasing their units to constituents with lower incomes.
In March of 2020, Miami City Commission approved the Wynwood Norte Neighborhood Revitalization
District, a zoning overlay that many area residents believe will protect the community's unique character
and improve the area's housing stock. The new zoning overlay provides developers with greater capacity
to build on the defined area if they provide new affordable housing and help pay for community
enhancements, such as new street lighting, trees and sidewalks. It will also allow Miami -Dade County's
housing agency, which owns several parcels there, the ability to add more affordable and workforce
housing.
Discussion
The HCD 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 potential issues related to predatory
lending/refinancing. As required, HOPE assists the HCD and City in testing for fair housing law violations,
pursuing enforcement of meritorious claims, and conducting fair housing education and outreach. Their
insight into fair housing matters is crucial in the HCD's efforts to affirmatively further fair housing.

AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
The following introduces other actions/strategies the City of Miami will implement, whenever possible, in
2021 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 Action 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.
Language barriers — ensure that marketing materials for County -funded programs are available in
languages specific to the populations seeking information.
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 1,000 families on a yearly basis,
etc. With Miami residents voting to fund $400 million in spending to help counter against the effects of
sea level rising and lack of affordable housing, residents made a conscious choice to tax themselves to
preserve and ameliorate the current affordable housing stock left in the City. It is estimated that
approximately $100 million will be earmarked toward affordable housing projects, $78 million for parks
and cultural facilities, $23 million for road improvements and $7 million for public safety.
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
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 46
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
lead -based paint inspections be expanded. The reduction of elevated lead blood levels ("EBL") in children
is a top priority for HUD. The City of Miami requires that inspections be conducted on all general housing
rehabilitation projects involving construction dating prior 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 mission is to fund or participate in 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
The HCD is doing this via its participation in the Connect Capital Miami effort. The initiative is comprised
of dozens of local non -profits, private organizations, educational institutions, and public representatives
who have convened several times in the past year and are working together to better address affordable
housing concerns in the City of Miami, collectively.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 47
2021

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 Housing Committee, and the Greater Miami Chamber of
Commerce's Housing Solutions Task Force, amongst others to be able to properly assess some of the
needs of our economically disadvantaged 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 HCD 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.
Disaster Response and Recovery
South Florida is an area vulnerable to natural disasters mainly related to extreme weather conditions such
as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornadoes, wildfires and floods. Through the years the City of Miami has
experienced its own share of devastating disasters followed by aftermaths and rebuilding efforts. As such,
the City is always at high alert and maintains an up-to-date Hurricane Plan that deals with preparedness
and operational activities prior, during, and after a storm; establishes procedures to minimize storm -
related damage and protects the life of personnel and City residents.
Understanding that the federal government function is to provide disaster relief through the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to meet short-term
recovery needs, the City strongly believes that there are scenarios where assistance is needed to
safeguard the health and well-being of its residents by addressing emergency housing repairs and
providing for long-term affordable housing solutions among other essential services for residents in need
after a natural or man-made disaster.
1. Need to Reallocate Funds in Case of a Disaster
In case of a disaster, the City is electing to leave open the option to utilize its CPD funding for emergency,
short-term assistance and/or long-term recovery assistance when those activities are not fully funded by
FEMA, SBA, or other sources. If the City were to utilize its CDBG funding, it would apply it toward activities
allowed by CDBG regulations including, but not limited to meeting the interim assistance criteria defined
under 24 CFR 570.201 (f)(2) to alleviate emergency conditions.
CDBG funds can also be used for other public service activities, not to exceed the 15% public service cap,
that would assist those impacted by the disaster. While the general rule is that CDBG funds may not be
used for income payments, such as rent and security deposits, food, and utilities, CDBG funds may be used
as emergency grant payments over a period of up to three consecutive months to the provider of such
items or services on behalf of an individual or family.

COVID-19 Update:
Under the Coronavirus Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) which was approved by congress
and signed into law on March 27, 2020 the City was awarded CDBG-CV, HOPWA-CV, ESG-CV funding which
were allocated in FY2019; therefore, not part of this plan, however, the City will be utilizing the flexibilities
and waivers granted by HUD for FY2020 related to the use of CDBG, HOME, HOPWA and ESG for
prevention, preparation and response to COVID-19 whenever still applicable.
On a letter from Mr. John Gibbs, Acting Assistant Secretary for CPD, addressed to the City of Miami
regarding the CDBG-CV special allocation, the additional flexibility allowed to grantees is explained where
the public comment is reduced to no less than 5 days, the use of virtual public hearings is allowed, and
the public services cap was suspended for FY2020 only during this emergency as part of the response to
the pandemic.
2. Funding Reallocation
Once South Florida receives a major disaster declaration, the City shall be open to the possibility of
reallocating its CPD funds toward eligible activities to help counteract the effects of a disaster on its
residents.
Any and all CPD funds available or previously allocated to any activity on any fiscal year may be reallocated
toward disaster response and recovery. This decision is left solely to the discretion of the City of Miami as
it best see fit in the aftermath of a major natural or man-made disaster.
The City will adhere to its Citizen Participation plan requirements.
3. Utilization of CPD Funding
As it is understood that HUD assistance is intended to supplement, not replace, other public, private, and
nonprofit sector resources that have already been provided for the same need or loss, the City will be
careful to review and document household's eligibility, financial resources, and other assistance available
or reasonably anticipated for the same purpose as the CPD program assistance in an effort to avoid
duplication of benefits.
The following are projects the City will utilize CPD funding for in the case of a disaster:
■ Public services,
■ Emergency Housing rehabilitation,
■ Homebuyer programs,
■ Acquisition programs that purchase properties,
■ Infrastructure improvements,
■ Demolition of buildings,
■ Reconstruction or replacement of public facilities,
■ Small business grants and loans, and

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 HCD will also utilize State Housing Initiative Program (SHIP) funds from the State of Florida,
Affordable Housing Trust funds (AHTF), and, the Miami Forever General Obligation Bond (GOB). The
City may use SHIP and/or GOB funds as a local match to leverage additional HOME monies. The City
also may use SHIP funds for all of its single-family home programs (down payment assistance,
emergency rehabilitation/replacement). The AHTF collects financial contributions from private
developers who desire to take advantage of various incentives allowed in the City's Zoning Code.
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 be
approved by the City's Housing and Commercial Loan Committee and/or City of Miami Commission.
The Miami Forever Bond, voted on and approved by City residents, is a $400M general obligation
bond that will fund projects that protect property from sea level rise and flooding, increase affordable
housing, improve parks and cultural facilities, improve roadways and enhance public safety. Out of
the $400M, $100M is for affordable housing and economic development activities. The City has issued
a request for applications for multi -family affordable housing developments, where bond funding can
potentially be used.
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 end of the HOME affordability
period, the City of Miami shall apply the RECAPTURE provision of 92.254.
a. lithe property is sold prior to the maturity of the HOME affordability period, the City shall recoup
all or a portion of the HOME assistance to the homebuyer.
b. 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'.
c. 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 separately from any property inspections. During the
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.

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 Continuum of Care (CoC) program Interim Rule at 24 CFR 578.7(a)(8) requires that a CoC
establishes a Centralized or Coordinated Assessment System. The purpose of the Coordinated Entry
(CE) is to improve the service delivery for individuals and families experiencing homelessness and
increases the efficiency of the homeless response system by simplifying access to housing and services
for people experiencing homelessness.
The Miami -Dade Homeless Trust (MDHT) is responsible for the oversight of the CE. The CE has been
designed and implemented over time through the work of the Homeless Trust Board, its Services
Development Committee and workgroups comprised of CoC stakeholders. An annual review is
conducted to ensure that the CE's is functioning correctly and effectively.
The CE is composed of CoC access points and four key elements:
■ Assessment of Need.
■ Identification of Housing Intervention.
■ Prioritization for Assistance, and.
■ Referral
Possible CE outcomes for persons seeking assistance are:
■ Homeless Prevention assistance.
■ Diversion from the CoC.
■ Emergency Shelter.
■ Transitional Housing or Safe Haven.
■ Rapid Re -Housing through short-term housing assistance.
■ Placement into Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH)
The CE provides households experiencing homelessness access to services from multiple locations to
ensure a fair and consistent process is applied across the continuum. Entry into the system may be
initiated in person, at a program access point, through the CoC helpline, or street outreach teams.
1) Helpline - The CoC offers a toll -free helpline. The CoC Helpline is staffed by the Street Outreach
(SO) Program. Helpline staff initiate collection of data for the individual or family's HMIS Uniform
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 54
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
Data Elements record (UDE) over the phone and dispatch SO teams to verify homelessness and
complete UDEs, housing and vulnerability assessments for unsheltered persons
2) Street Outreach - The Coordinated Entry process is linked to street outreach efforts so that people
sleeping on the streets are prioritized for assistance in the same manner as any other person
assessed through the Coordinated Entry process.
3) CoC Shelters - The CoC provides dedicated CE access points for homeless youth and individuals
and families who are fleeing, or attempting to flee, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, or stalking.
4) Child welfare system - Child welfare agencies serve as an access point for youth exiting foster care.
5) Homeless Youth Access Points - Youth access points are organizations whose primary mission is
to provide direct services to unaccompanied or parenting youth who are 24 years old or younger.
6) Victims of Domestic Violence Access Points - DV access points are organizations whose primary
mission is to provide direct services to those fleeing DV, including human trafficking. These access
points use common assessment tools to assess for needs at intake.
Upon accessing the CE, the individual or family household will be screened to determine if homeless
prevention assistance or diversion from the CoC is most appropriate. If it is determined that the
individual or family person cannot be assisted with homeless prevention or diversion, the household
will be assessed using a standardized tool to quickly identify an appropriate housing intervention and
establish prioritization. Furthermore, assessment is a continuing process through CE and referral to
build an accurate and concise picture of the person's needs and preferences to connect them with an
appropriate intervention.
To ensure that the Process is effective and manageable for homeless and at -risk households and for
the housing and service providers tasked with meeting their needs, the CoC anticipates adjustments
to the processes described herein. The Coordinated Entry Process will be periodically evaluated, but
not less than quarterly. The evaluation will include both provider and client feedback regarding the
quality and effectiveness of the entire coordinated entry experience for both participating projects
and households.
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
DRAFT Annual Action Plan 55
2021
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
allocation (the maximum allowable) is awarded to MHAP given the continued trend of unsheltered
homeless persons who live on City of Miami streets.
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 HCD invited all CoC agencies via e-mail to its public hearings, and notified the Homeless
Trust of this Annual Action Plan, as well as providing specific sections of the AP addressing homeless -
related issues and activities to them for their review.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
As part of the CoC, the City of Miami allocate ESG resources to activities that directly and strategically
support the objectives of the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust. Currently, the City of Miami dedicates
approximately 60 percent of its ESG funding toward Street Outreach and approximately 32.5 percent
of toward Rapid Re -Housing and Homeless Prevention activities which are administered by Citrus
Health Network, Inc.
The City of Miami's Homeless Assistance Program (MHAP) provides homeless individuals assistance
by placing them into appropriate housing and/or shelter. MHAP provides outreach, assessment,
placement, information, referral and transportation services to homeless individuals and their
families. The HCD assesses street outreach efforts by monitoring its agreement with MHAP. In
addition, MHAP is required to submit monthly reimbursement requests with back up documentation
detailing the number of homeless individuals they assisted for that reimbursement period.
Citrus Health Network, Inc. manages Rapid Re -Housing and Homeless Prevention activities under the
Homeless Assistant Network of Dade (HAND) program and keeps record of the population they are
assisting. Citrus is also required to submit monthly reimbursement requests which allows the HCD to
evaluate their progress.
All ESG-funded providers utilize HMIS to enter all client -related service information which is then
reported to HUD at the end of the fiscal year via the SAGE HMIS Reporting Repository system as part
of the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).
The goals of the HAND program are:
■ Prevent or end homelessness in households at risk
■ Reduce the number of households that enter the Homeless Continuum
■ 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 12 months following the period of assistance.

Please consider creating affordable housing for people with psychiatric disabilities as a priority in the upcoming action
plan. Usually, people with psychiatric disabilities although capable of living independently, they can't because housing is
so expensive, and their only source of income is SSI which is about $780 per month. Most of the affordable housing
opportunities leave this population out of reach. Many have to settle to live with family or to share housing with others.
By creating housing opportunities for this special population, you are not only increasing a sense of empowerment, but
also helping sustain their recovery.
Steve Horsford
People Acting for Community Together (P.A.C.T.)
As an Executive Board Member for P.A.C.T. Miami (People Acting for Community Together), we have been in constant
communication with this department around the dire situation surrounding affordable housing in the city prior to the
pandemic. With the imminent sun -setting of the eviction moratorium, the crises surrounding affordable housing will be
exacerbated. The Miami Herald reported as of March, there were already 700 filings. Many of our members are the very
people heralded as "essential workers" who have initially missed several weeks of work and have no way of catching up
on missed rent payments. CARES Act funding needs to be quickly and efficiently released to provide relief. That said, we
MUST NOT lose sight of the big picture. Time, energy, and money has already been invested in the long fix for affordable
housing. The Affordable Housing Master Plan drafted by the FIU Metropolitan Center was accepted by the Commission
and turned over to the City Manager for implementation recommendations. The time is now. The confluence of issues
shaping the conversation throughout the country is unprecedented. It is times like these where true leadership is
required. We ask that this department look to the Plan to begin implementing the recommendations outlined therein
while working with the City Manager to address the future of affordable housing for this City.
Reverend Willie Allen-Faiella
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, People Acting for Community Together (P.A.C.T.)
Our city was already in an extreme housing affordability crisis -- and then the pandemic hit. The eviction moratorium is
coming to an end and when it does, we will have a homelessness crisis on our hands. (Hundreds of evictions have already
been filed at the county courthouse, simply awaiting the end of the moratorium to be put into action. The Herald reported
700 back in March). People in my congregation have moved away because they cannot afford to live here any longer.
CARES act funding needs to be deployed quickly for rental assistance, mortgage assistance, and assistance to landlords
with the condition that they do not evict their tenants. However, we also need to pay attention to the long-term, big
picture if we are going to pull ourselves out of this crisis. Back in February, the Commission accepted the Affordable
Housing Master Plan authored by FIU and said that it would turn it over to the City Manager to determine how to best
implement its recommendations. he time is now to begin implementing the recommendations in this plan. We cannot
allow this plan to sit on a backburner. We ask that the housing department please return to the recommendations in this
plan and work with the City Manager, as promised, to bring recommendations forward to the Commission. Thank you.

Centro Mater Child Care Center
I would like to Thank the commissioners, Mayor Suarez especially our commissioner Carollo for his unconditional support
to our mission. Without your lending hand Centro Mater will not be here. I kindly request the need of children to be
considered for next year's funding.
Children have suffered tremendously during this pandemic. This is more relevant when it comes to low-income children.
Children's programs that promote school readiness, tutoring, social and emotional support are needed more than ever. I
urge the community to continue its support to our children and their families. Centro Mater Serves more than 500 children
on a daily basis. The CDBG funding funds the scholarships of 75 disadvantaged children of our community. Please continue
to support our mission of providing the highest quality of services to the neediest of our city.

The Start Program
On behalf of The START Program, Inc. we would like to thank everyone who continues to assist the youth in our
community. It is our hope that continued funding will be provided to assist our youth so that they will be able to have the
opportunity to grow educationally and socially.
Beatrice Gonzalez
Lotus House
On behalf of the 500+ women, youth and children sheltered at Lotus House daily, we urge that the City of Miami continue
to provide life changing funding via the Community Block Development Grant and consider increasing overall giving to
Lotus House to $450,000 annually, making it possible to continue uplifting the lives of the most vulnerable in our
community. In 2020 alone, Lotus House sheltered 1,354 women and children amidst the pandemic, an increase of 202
guests compared to 2019 - of which 671 were adults and 683 were children; this represents a 17.5% increase over the
prior year. An already vulnerable population, the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed women, youth, and children to further
dangers. Overcoming their fear of entering a shelter during the pandemic, Lotus House recorded a 37.6% increase in the
percentage of sheltered women with domestic violence in 2020 compared with 2019. As we prepare for the lifting of the
eviction moratorium, we anticipate that women, youth, and children in our community will so desperately need Lotus
House's supportive shelter and therapeutic supports more than ever. Please increase the City's funding of the important
work of Lotus House, it is nothing short of life saving.
Pia Palomino
Family Action Network Movement
As a member of Family Action Network Movement, I wanted to write as concerned community member, who has seen
the need of resources during the pandemic. We have worked with hundreds of families, who have suffered greatly during
the pandemic due to lack of resources or inability to pay their bills including electricity or rent. In our after -school care
program we have seen children who are having a hard time concentrating with their schoolwork, as well as lack of
technology available in order to actually complete the work they were given. Due to this, many students have not been
able to perform as well in school as they would have under regular conditions. We have seen a concerning spike in students
who are now failing their classes. This will affect them gravely in the long-term. In terms of small businesses, we have also
seen a technical divide, where local businesses have suffered greatly due to difficulty in obtaining resources available from
the government. We need more local business support, whether it be job training or economic assistance. Local businesses
are an essential part of the economy.
Mariangela Cordero
Family Action Network Movement
On behalf of Family Action Network Movement, a community organization for the past 30 years, we are greatly aware
that the last year has exponentially heighten dire needs in our black and brown families. The racial and technical divide
within the members of the community has proven there is a big disconnect and these families are in need of even more
resources. The technical and economic gap has prevented many business owners to access loan, grants, economic
resources. One of our biggest concerns is the academic disadvantage prevented. During virtual learning many were unable
to access their classes since they lacked the equipment, Internet access and parental guidance. 85% of our students are
failing and this will require a great amount of work that will take to bring our students up to their level of studies. As
concerned community members we are asking that the city of Miami and our commissioners pay more attention to the
needs and provide additional support.

I would like to thank the Mayor and Commissioners for the support you have given us over the years. Curley House has
been in the community for over 20 years, providing food for our neediest residents, including our seniors, the homeless,
the veterans and so many other people who come to us. During this Pandemic we have been bursting at the seams since
there has been a tremendous loss of jobs. We have had people coming to us for the first time in their lives asking for food
to feed themselves and their families. And we are feeding 7000 Families per month. We really need our city to include
additional funding to help us to continue to feed those in need in the City. And to circumvent all the negative
consequences of not having nutritious food. We thank you in advance for your consideration.

DeSantis-backed 'anti -riot'
bill heads to Senate after
heated, lengthy debate
acebnllos@miamiherafd.com
Herald/Times Tallahassee Bureau
LLAHASSEE
T With political pressure
mounting, a GOP -led
Senate panel on Friday
voted to send a Gov. Ron
DeSantis-backed `anti -
riot' bill to the full Senate
floor after rejecting every
Democratic attempt to
narrow the scope of the
legislation.
Democrats on the Senate
Appropriations Committee
were unable to stop the bill,
but they did manage to get
support for a study that will
look at the racial impact of
the proposed law.
The bill (HB 1) would
enhance penalties for a
host of crimes committed
during protests that turn
violent, and opponents
have argued its broad defi-
nition could lead to racial
disparity if the bill ultimate-
ly becomes law.
"The people across the
state of Florida are worried
about the chilling effect of
this bill," said Sen. Darryl
Ronson, R-St. Petersburg.
"This is going to lead to a
misapplication of the law,
and we know Black and
brown people will suffer
disproportionately because
we have seen it"
Sen. Bobby Powell, D-
West Palm Beach, tried to
ease those concerns by
proposing language that
would have required the
state to collect data and
study the racial and ethnic
impact of the proposed law.
Senate President Wilton
Simpson, R-Trilby, and bill
sponsor Sen. Danny Bur-
gess, R-Zephyrhills, agreed
the racial impact of the bill
needs to be studied but
said it should be done
through a different path. It
was an indirect acknowl-
edgment that there is bipar-
tisan concern with the
governor's legislative pri-
ority. "I agree with you
wholeheartedly that we
should look at this," Bur-
gess told Powell. "That's
my honest and good faith
commitment because
where there is disparity,
where this is happening, it
should be studied and it
should be stopped."
Senate spokeswoman
Katie Betta said Simpson
will be directing the re-
search arm of the Florida
Legislature to conduct the
study, but specifics have
yet to be determined.
POLITICS OR
GOOD POLICY?
The fight over DeSantis'
top priority has driven
much of the
behind -the -scenes
jockeying during the first
half of the legislative ses-
sion. With three weeks left
in session, the tensions
were now in full view dur-
ing an eight -hour meeting
before the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee.
Senate Criminal Justice
Committee Chairman
Jason Pizzo, a Miami Dem-
ocrat who refused to hear
the bill in his committee,
told Burgess he believes the
bill is nothing "more than
perhaps a bullet point in a
2022 or 2024 campaign
mailer for somebody else."
After an intense line of
questioning led by Pizzo,
Burgess admitted that the
governor has had a role in
the legislative process.
Burgess added that De -
Santis wanted to go further
than the proposal that is
currently on the table. Last
September, DeSantis' office
sent the House and the
Senate draft legislation that
included a proposed
expansion of Florida's
Stand Your Ground Law.
But, Burgess said, "There
were parts of it we felt were
not appropriate to fit within
the bill."
Piro, a former prose-
cutor, argued the bill is a
problem because it is overly
broad and as currently
written would make arrests
and convictions subjective.
Burgess, however, says the
legislative intent of the bill
should standup in court.
"You have much greater
faith in legislative intent
versus textualism," Pizzo
said. "I have a greater con-
em that the courts will see
the text of the bill and not
what we discussed here to-
day."
Textualism is the legal
philosophy that basm judi-
cial decisions on the text of
the law, rather than relying
on other court rulings for
guidance. It has been
championed by conserva-
tives and the Federalist
Society, the group Presi-
dent Donald Trump has
drawn from to make his
own judicial appointments.
DeSantis was a member of
the Federalist Society while
at Harvard Law School, and
he frequently cites its
doctrine of judicial "re-
straint" to make his case
that judges have too much
power.
"rl don't fault you for not
knowing the nuances of
criminal law and their ap-
plication," Preea said. "But
!do fault the premise that
you don't understand and
appreciate what this means
application for Black and
brown teenagers."
WHERE REPUBLICANS
STAND
After hearing from more
than 60 individuals, all of
whom were against the
proposal, Republicans were
confronted with a vote.
"The worst kept secret in
this room is ]need two
Republicans. I need two
Republicans to ask and to
triage and prioritize who
you serve," Pizzo said.
In the end, the bill clear-
ed the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee with all
Democrats and Senate
Judiciary Committee Chair -
an Jeff Brandes, R-St.
Petersburg, voting against
the bill.
Senate Appropriations
Committee Chairman Kelli
Stargel, R-Lakeland, said
she understands the con-
cerns about the racial im-
pact of the bill, but that the
reason she supports the bill
is because she wants to
protect property and pre-
vent unrest `"this bill is
talking about rioting and
talking about destroying
people's personal proper-
ty," she said. "1 am all for
the right to speech and I'm
all for the right to protest,
and as much a5 I don't like
it when someone takes a
knee during the national
anthem, I protect their right
to do it"
The bill, among other
things, enhances criminal
penalties for crimes com-
mitted during protests that
become violent. It would
turn many misdemeanor
crimes into felonies, in-
cluding property crimes,
and would create new
crimes against "mob intim-
idation" and the practice of
making someone's personal
identifying information
public to harass them, often
lmown as doxxing.
Furthermore, any person,
who without permission,
tears down any type of
memorial `dedicated to a
historical person, an entity,
an event or a series of
events" would face a sec-
ond-degree felony punish-
able byuptol5years in
prison. The bill would also
create a six-month manda-
tory -minimum sentence for
battery on a police officer
and enhance punishments
for burglaries and grand
theft when the crimes are
committed by three or
more people.
"When that type of beha-
vior happens it goes against
everyone. It is not fitted to
certain person or a cer-
tain race. They bum down
anyone's building, they
burn down anyone's car,"
Stargel said. "That is what
the bill is all about Let's
not let that get lost in the
conversation of race and
the right to rise up."
Brandes, a Republican
who has long pushed for
criminal justice reforms,
said the paradigm of the
bill is that it is overtly parti-
san and fails to address
public safety in a way that
puts him at ease."There are
some positive aspects of
this bill, but they're far
outweighed by the con-
cerns drawn by individu-
als," he said. "Ibis bill
continues to dive right into
the current political
mate, and !think that's
what I hope the Senate
wouldn't be."

Better read this if you are 62
or older and still making
mortgage payments.
Mare than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this "retirement secret."
It's a well-known fact that for many
older Americans, the home is their
single biggest asset, often accounting
for more than 45% of their total net
worth. And with interest rates near
all-time lows while home values are
still high, this combination creates
the perfect dynamic for getting the
most out of your built-up equity.
But, manyaren'ttaking advantageof
this unprecedented period. According
to new statistics from the mortgage
industry, senior homeowners in the
U.S. are now sitting on more than 7.7
trillion dollars* of unused home
equity.
Not only are people living longer
than ever before, but there is also
greater uncertainty in the ecomony.
With home prices back up again,
ignoring this "hidden wealth" may
prove to be short sighted when
looking for the best long-term
outcome.
All things considered, it's not
surprising that more than a million
homeowners have already used a
government -insured Home Equity
For example, a lot of people
mistakenly believe the home must be
paid off in full in order to qualify for
a HECM loan, which is not the case.
In fact, one key advantage of a HECM
is that the proceeds will first be used
to pay off any existing liens on the
property, which frees up cash flow,
a huge blessing for seniors living on
a fixed income. Unfortunately, many
senior homeowners who might be
better off with a HELM loan don't
even bother to get more information
because of rumors they've heard.
In fact, a recent survey by American
Advisors Group (AAA), the nation's
number one HECM lender, found that
over 98% of their clients are satisfied
with their loans. While these special
loans are not for everyone, they can be
a real lifesaver for senior homeowners
-especially in times like these.
The cash from a HECM loan can be
used for almost any purpose. Other
common uses include making home
improvements, paying off medical
bills or helping other family members.

Conversion Mortgage (HELM) loan to
turn their home equity into extra cash
for retirement.
It's a fact: no monthly mortgage
payments are required with a
government -insured HECM loan;
however the borrowers are still
responsible for paying for the
maintenance of their home, property
taxes, homeowner's insurance and, if
required, their HOA fees.
Today, HECM loans are simply an
effective way for homeowners 62 and
older to get the extra cash they need
to enjoy retirement.
Although today's HECM loans
have been improved to provide
even greater financial protection for
homeowners, there are still many
misconceptions.

cash for everyday expenses while
others are now using it as a safety net
for financial emergencies.
If you're a homeowner age 62 or
older, you owe it to yourself to learn
more so that you can make the best
decision - for your financial future.
