BACKGROUND:
The Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") is responsible for
carrying out community redevelopment activities and projects within its redevelopment area in
accordance with the CRA Redevelopment Plan ("Plan").
On September 13, 2016, the CRA approved and adopted Resolution No. CRA-R-16-0042,
adopting the City of Miami's procurement ordinance as the process by which any and all services
and goods are procured by the CRA.
Roger Jones submitted a grant proposal request to the CRA requesting $935,000.00. This funding
is needed to underwrite a portion of the costs for the residential project known as (the "Project"),
located within the Omni CRA boundaries at 1502 NW 1st court, Miami, Florida 33139. The Project
consists of approximately 7 units, of which 2 will be restricted at 30% AMI, and 5 at 80% AMI.
JUSTIFICATION:
This aligns with the Plan's objective of incentivizing diverse housing options, including affordable
and workforce housing. The Plan also aims to attract downtown workers and enhance the area's
visual appeal to businesses and residents through varied housing options. Roger Jones Project
contributes to the CRA's goals of eliminating slum and blight by offering housing options within
the CRA.
The Project is currently occupied, and the owner will work not to displace residents while
rehabilitation takes place. The $935,000 requested grant funding will support units restricted the
entire property, representing 100% of the Project.
FUNDING:
The grant funding will be a total amount not to exceed amount of $935,000.00., which is hereby
approved.
