Ad No. 40161 MCI 20A I SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 1L 2022 MosI HERALD FROM PAGE ISA EVICT had agreed to rescind the termination notices after the housing authority said it would pay back rent it has been withholding due to failed inspections con- ducted by the agency. "At the end of the day, this is getting resolved," Bennett said. Still, 14 units had not yet passed required in- speetions as of this week, said Vashtye Leon, the Housing Authority's Sec- tion 8 supervisor. And she said the agency has not determined how it will pay back previously withheld rent, which is not typically covered by the U.S. De- partment of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). "We're still looking into sources and putting those funds together," Leon said. "It's important to us that these tenants remain housed." Voucher recipients typ- ically pay 30% of thew monthly income toward the rent and HUD covers the rest Families are only eligible if their income is no more than half of the area median which is about 568,000 in Miami -Dade County. TENANTS 1N AN UPROAR Shep Davis Apartments sits on prime real estate 'lust one block from the beach and steps away from the swanky W Hotel. It reflects both the old and new of South Beach — a mix of elderly, Spanish- speaking residents on fixed incomes and young - well -to-do renters in market -rate units. About half of the build- ing's tenants utilize housing choice vouchers, the federal govemment's largest program to help low-income families, se- niors people with disabilities afford housing in the private market. Many are holdovers from a HUD rental assistance contract that covered the entire building starting in the early 1980s. When the owner chose not to renew the HUD contract in 2018, tenants had to either accept new vouchers and seek hous- ing elsewhere or stay at Shep Davis using so-called "enhanced vouchers" — which allow landlords to collect more money from the government in rent in an effort to keep tenants in thew homes after HUD contracts expire even in gentrifying neighbor- hoods. That security blanket disappeared for low-in- come Shep Davis tenants late last year, when the Miami Beach Housing Authority stopped making rental assistance pay- ments to the landlord for about 17 units that had failed a series of required health and safety inspec- tions. The agency would not immediately provide copies of its inspection reports to the Herald, but Leon said "basic" housing quality issues like leaky ceilings and broken heat- ing systems have festered over the past several years. When the landlord didn't make needed fixes prior to follow-up inspec- tions, the housing author- ity temsinated its assist- ance for the failing units. That put tenants in a bind. The agency gave them vouch- ers to find new housing within 10 miles of Miami Beach, but few were suc- cessful as rents soared ac ross South Florida. This summer, after almost a year of the hous- ing authority withholding payments, the landlord gave residents 60-day notices to leave. "I know the residents are in an uproar," Leon said. "Its very difficult to locate affordable units. They don't want to leave. 1 ant blame them at this time." Jeffrey Heame, the director of litigation for Legal Services of Greater Miami, said it's concern- ing that elderly tenants on enhanced vouchers could be forced to Fuld new homes as a result of poor man aintence. In somecases, Heame said, landlords can look to exploit HUD regulations by letting units fall into disrepair if they no longer wish to house Section 8 tenants. "1 wouldn't want some- body to be forced out and lose their enhanced voucher and their right to remain lust because the owner doesn't maintain the building," Hearne said. "That's a way to do anend-around." Bennett, the property manager who began work- ing at Shep Davis Apart- ments this summer, said the owner is not trying to drive Section 8 tenants from the building and is comrnined to making repairs. Now that the housing authority has said it will make back -payments for withheld rent, "he's not terminating anybody," Bennett said of Paul Mata, the registered agent for Shep Equities LLC. Meta could not be reached for comment Federal regulations say payments must be with- held from landlords and having assistance con- tracts ultimately must be Dr. Ronald B.

Gonzalez, the Ecuador native, said she needs more support. She said she believed her unit was in good condition and wasn't told why it failed inspections, and said no one has helped her look for w apartments or tan her how much her new toher is worth. "I feel like the [housing authority! should be clear- er their instructions," she said. Leon said the agency has been communicating with tenants throughout the process, and is now prepared to reinstate housing assistance con- tracts to allow them to stay if and when their units pass inspections. "We followed the rules," Leon said. "We did what we were supposed to do." The conflict between Meta and the Miami Beach Housing Authority goes beyond Shep Davis Apartments. At the nearby Black- stone Apartments, a 100- unit building on Washing- ton Avenue under the same ownership, housing authority inspectors dis- covered last year that the city of Miami Beach had issued an unsafe structure notice and that a 121h- Door ceiling was "caving m" according to Leon. The agency immediate- ly canceled housing assist- ancecontracts for all 49 of the building's Section 8 units and issued tenants vouchers to find new homes. Since then, the owner has addressed the unsafe structure violations and is resolving issue in- dividual units "bit by bit," Leon said, with payments still being withheld for seven units as of this week — down from an initial 29. As she exited the build- ing earlier this week, Sec- tion 8 tenant Aida Fonse- ca told the Herald she has heard about payments to the landlord being halted due to poor conditions. In her unit, Fonseca said, she has dealt with cockroach- esand rats. Unlike at Shep Davis, tenants at Blackstone have ity's more than 3,000 not received notices to housing choice vouchers, vacate.

The SoFlo Boat Show, put together by EngageLive!, would take place May 19 to 21, 2023, at the Miami Marine Stadium on Vir- ginia Key in a 20,000-square-foot air-conditioned tentedpavilion with on -land and in -water boat displays, watersports and opportunities for boat trials at sea. The show will also include live music each day and evening, a 360-degree Ships Wheel Bar, several food trucks and social gathering areas, according to a press release. "We wanted to incorporate more about the marine and nautical life- style, a different twist to it," said John Hagins, director of partner relations for the SoFlo Boat Show. "The location is perfect, it's easy to get to and has onsite parking there." Organizers have reduced rates for booth space until Dec. 1 and are putting together the outline of the physical show. "We're trying to work with our exhibitors a lot more closely than the other boat shows," he said. "The site is large enough to have what attendees want, but it's not so massive that you can't cover the show in two or three days." Booths would sell boating ac- cessories, fishing gear and other nautical gadgets and gifts. The convention area would have space for a few boats on display on shore and about 100 to 150 boats on the water, said Tony Albelo, CEO of EngageLive! "1t will be more like a boating festival than a show," he added, "and we're [planning to] close at 8:30 p.m. or 9 p.m., so people will be able to see the sunset on Virginia Key." Organizers expect about 30,000 attendees, 10,000 aday for the three days. By October, when more boat builders, manufacturersandboating brands are signed up. there will be a more specified agenda for the show, he added. "The scale of the show is impor- tant. It's something that is not so big that it's going to eliminate parking and cause big traffic issues. It's at the right scale, only taking up about one fourth of the land space of the Marine Stadium, much smaller than the Ultra Music Festival or the Miami Boat Show, which took the whole area," Mr. Albelo said. The dates are also strategically planned before Memorial Day, the beginning of summer, he con- cluded. 1'rOI'I.I Avison Young names principal Avison Young has named Lisa Jesmer principal and national director, investor services business development.

Ad No. 40184 James McQueen, Executive Director Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency I8A IDItiI DIARIO LAS AMERICAS DEL VIERNES 16 AL JUEVES 22 DE SEPTIEMBRE DE 2022 Florida 4Que sucede en el servicio estatal de obtener un carne de conducir? Demoras en las citas y largas colas crean el caldo de cultivo necesario para que personas aprovechen la situation y lucren con el desconocimiento de quienes intentan sacar su permiso de manejar VIENE DE PAG. 1A Hay personas, incluso comunicadores y lideres comunitarios de opinion que afirman "las colas son interminables", "solo atienden con cite previa", "hay que esperar hasta tres meses para sacar las licencias" y "quieren pri- vatizar el sistema". DIARIO LAS AMERICAS se acerco al problema para ver que este sucediendo a ciencia cierta. Rio revuelto Lo primero que hallamos es que existe un gran des- conocimiento acerca de los tramites que deben realizar. Sobre todo, entre los inmigrantes re- cien Ilegados al pais. De este desconocimiento se estan aprovechando al- gunas personas que ofre- cen un servicio pago para realizar unos tramites que son totalmente gra- tuitos. "Si pagas 120 dolares,te doy un servicio persona- lizado. Te inscribo en la escuela de trafico, te saco la cite y te llevo a hacer el examen", afirm6 una per- sona que dijo ser instruc- tora de conduction", quien agrego "no hay citas haste dentro de tres meses. Pero, yo te puedo resolver una antes". Segun la "instructora" el publico prefiere este tipo de servicios personaliza- dos porque es mas rapido, a pesar de reconocer que "el cliente" siempre ten- dra que venir a las ofici- nas del Departamento de Seguridad Vial y Vehiculos Motorizados (FLHSMV, por sus siglas en ingles) para realizar los tramites legates. El servicio La realidad es que en Mia- mi -Dade hay nueve centros del departamento FLHSMV que ofrecen los servicios re- lacionados con las licencias de conducir, carne de iden- tificacibn, examenes te6ri- cos y examenes practicos. Ademas, existen centros privados autorizados por el estado y escuelas secunda- ries donde se imparten cla- ses y realizan los examenes teoricos.
