Community Development Funding
For Housing
ENCLOSURES.
The efforts of the City of Miami to provide housing for its
lower income residents through its Housing Bond Issue has
received initial recognition from the Department of Housing
and Urban Development in its allocation of 500 Section 8
new construction units to the City. In designating this sub-
sidy, HUD has earmarked 100 units for large families.
The 13 parcels between Day and Percival and Percival and Oak
directly east of Douglas }toad ksee attachment) have been se-
lected as the most appropriate sites to provide for some of
the aforementioned housing. Dade County's Department of
Housing and Urban Development plans to construct 25 large
family units on the above sites. Twelve of these units will
be in townhouses, 10 in duplexes and 2 in single family struc-
tures. This development would involve the demolition of 12
substandard dwelling units and the dislocation of 12 families,
bringing the total acquisition and relocation costs to $225,000.
The Office of Community Development, which has worked closely
with Dade County's Department of Housing and Urban Development
in the selection of housing sites concurs with the plan for
the chosen location and considers it appropriate to purchase
the land as one of its Second Year projects. To allow for this
transaction, it is necessary to use $225,000 of the $275,000
which had been designated for demolition of deteriorated struc-
tures in the Second Year Community Development application.
Given the importance of and efforts towards the provision of low
income housing, we feel that this transfer will represent a
positive step towards the fulfillment of the City of Miami's
housing goal. The building demolition program will be funded
in the amount of $50,000, in addition to the amount regularly
received as part of the General. Operating Budget.
It is rerc u nded that the City Commission authorize the City Manager to
transfer $225,000 of Second Year (1976-1977) Co :unity Development funds
from the City -Wide activity designated as °Demolition of Deteriorated Structures"
to a ne.0 activity entitled "Land Acquisition for Housing".

OFFICE OF DIRECTOR

Mr. Charles Crumpton,
Ass't. City Manager for
Community Development,
City of Miami,
P. 0. Box 330708,
Miami, Florida 33133
Dear Mr. Crumpton:
Last month HUD Secretary Carla Hills notified Mayor Ferre
that HUD was allocating S00 units of Section 8 housing to
this Department to permit the first stage of the City's hous-
ing program to move ahead. We were required to submit appli-
cations for these units by the end of last week and we have
done this.
We submitted proposals for every cleared parcel of land that
we had acquired under the NDP and CD programs, or that has
been committed for acquisition under the CD program. Even
so, we could only develop proposals for 47G units of housing.
As you know, we have used first year CD funds to acquire a
tenement house (the Sussman property) on the southeast corner
of Day Avenue and Douglas Road in Coconut Grove. Also, we
are in the process of acquiring the Barbara Rose Apartment
at Douglas and Percival with second year CD funds. If we were
to acquire the following blighted property adjacent to these
two properties, we would be able to construct a 24-unit de-
velopment of single family, duplex and patio houses. In addi-
tion to providing housing, this would permit us to productive-
ly use the land on which the two tenement houses are located.
Lots 8, 9, 10, 11
Lot 12 and E 5' of N 100' Lot A.
The S 48' Lot A and S 48' Lot B less Street
and N 12' Lot C, less Street.
Lots 13 and 14
ALL IN BLOCK 5
Lots 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, and 16 in
BLOCK 6
In the hope that City CD funds can be re -programmed to cover
the estimated $225,000 acquisition, relocation, and demoli-
tion cost, we have submitted a Section 8 application to HUD.
We await your advice on this matter.
Sincerely,
MJA/a
Melvin J. Adams
