Senior Veteran Support Foundation, Inc. ("The Foundation"), is a Florida Not for Profit Corporation,
specializing in providing housing assistance services to active -duty military, and veterans who
reside in Miami Dade County. The Foundation has expressed interest in utilizing approximately 1,184
Square Feet of vacant office space from the City of Miami ("City") property located at 970 SW 1st

aforementioned services ("Project").
It would be advantageous to the City to allow The Foundation the use of the Property for the Project
and waive procurement requirements at this time. Approving the use of the Property for the Project
will allow for providing new services to the community and generate a new revenue stream for the
City as soon as possible with no added time for the procurement process, which is in the City's and
the greater community's best interest.

In light of the above, DREAM respectfully requests approval of a waiver of the formal requirements

forth in the City Code of Ordinances, as amended, specifically Section 18-85(a), the affirmation of
these written findings and the recommendation to the City Commission for ratification by a four -fifths
