Miami For Everyone Program
Funding Request Form
Grand Mixed Use Project
Our agency will activate these funds to acquire property for a mixed use project inclusive of affordable housing and community space, to benefit
District 2 and the West Coconut Grove community. We will provide housing needs for residents in order to reduce the sweeping gentrification and to provide a community service space to include other local organizations.
West Coconut Grove residents are finding fewer affordable housing options as land values rise. More affordable housing is needed in good condition, located near employment centers and transportation hubs.
This acquisition will help to create significant housing for the community and create affordable residences to keep lower income families in place, to offset displacement, and provide housing choices for multiple income levels.
Program Start Date: August 1, 2023 Program End Date: December 1, 2023
Please describe how this program/project and funding will assist the community overcome the
adverse effects of the declared emergency:
TGHI will build affordable rental units for at least 23 families in Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove using 3710 Grand Mixed Use Project as the backdrop.
TGHI will take this property and build and leverage affordable housing, live -work, workforce housing, and extremely low housing opportunities.
TGHI has other partners and successful funders to assist with job creation as well as commercial and retail opportunities within the building.
IMPACT AND PERFORMANCE:
Describe overall expected outcomes and performance measures for this project/program:
TGHI seeks this funding for acquisition of these properties to provide a minimum of 23 families new affordable housing opportunities.
TGHI will enroll 23 families into the TGHI Passport for Change Model, which would qualify them for housing at 3710 Grand Mixed Use Project.
TGHI will enroll all families in the social service program and provide wrap -around services such as counseling, fiscal literacy, and job training, during the program and for the entirety of their housing.

Good afternoon Maggie,
Following up from Friday's conversation about reallocating remaining D2 MFE Funds. Attached are the MFE Totals I
received from your office for reference, as well as an attachment with the edited categories and amended values- please
let me know if you need additional clarity on anything.
In addition to the Macedonia allocation slated for the July 27th Commission meeting (pending recent feedback/edits), I
mentioned the Commissioners request for another allocation to be made on the same date. I have also attached the
associated MFE application for that project. Please let me know if you need anything else from my end so that we can
make any advertising deadlines.
