Background of Item:
Pursuant to Resolution No.R-25-0431, adopted on October 9, 2025, the City of Miami
apportioned Five Million, Two Hundred Fifty Thousand, Two Hundred Fifty -One and
19/100 Dollars ($5,250,251.19) in available funds between the five (5) Commission
Districts pursuant to the Anti -Poverty Initiative ("API") Formula for the Commissioner of
each District to allocate and appropriate by future resolutions(s) to district specific
affordable housing and/or senior rental assistance programs.
The Office of the District 5 Commissioner was apportioned One Million, Two Hundred
Eighty -Four Thousand, and 00/100 Dollars (1,284,000.00) for affordable housing and/or
senior rental assistance programs pursuant to the API Formula.
On December 12, 2019, pursuant to Resolution No. R-19-0516, the City Commission
approved the creation of the permanent senior Rental Assistance Program, as amended
from time to time ("Senior Rental Assistance Program").
The goal of the Program is to alleviate the burden caused by dramatic rent increases for
the senior residents who are on a fixed income and find it difficult to afford rising rent.
Due to the high rents and cost of living in the City, the Office of the District 5
Commissioner wishes to allocated Five Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($550,000.00) of its funds to support its "District 5 Senior Rental Assistance Program,"
to provide additional funding to the Senior Rental Assistance Program to assist District 5
senior residents that are currently facing eviction and require rental assistance ("District
5 Program").
The District 5 Commissioner ("Commissioner") wishes to provide funds in an amount
not to exceed Five Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($550,000.00) ("Funds")
for the Program.
The City Commission finds that this allocation is an allowable use and complies with the
provisions of Resolution No. R-25-0431.
The City Manager is requesting authority from the Commission to negotiate and execute
any and all documents necessary, all in a forms acceptance to the City Attorney, for the
allocation of the Funds for the Program.
