Al large in -migration of Cuban refugees during the. 1960's has altered the ethnic characteristics of the City. Today, over half the City's population is Spanish-speaking and one fourth is Black. The population density has increased to more than 33 persons per net residential acre, The Black population had traditionally been concentrated in two areas (C:oconut Grove and Culmer) because of past discriminatory housing practices; since then the Black population has moved into two other areas (Edison -Little River and Model Cities), The Spanish-speaking population is spread throughout the other areas of Miami. Approximately 20`IjJ of the City's population is over 60, while in the United States only 10% are elderly. An estimated 25.4% of the City's population is under 18. Income distribution among City residents remains uneven. In 1969, nearly 70% of Miami's families were earning,less than $10, 000 per year with 16.4;% of these families below the poverty level. This percentage is high compared with the 6. 5°i;, of families below the poverty level in the 33 largest metropolitan areas of the nation. This skewed income distribution underscores the concentration of lower income groups in Miami and the exodus of the middle income groups to suburbia; denying Miami the financial resources necessary to deal with problems stemming from poverty. There are approximately 135,000 housing units in Miami. The cost of housing has increased substantially making housing not generally available for low and moderate income groups. The average price paid for a used house in Dade County was $15, 900 in 1967 and $40,4460 in 1973, an increase of over 250%. Housing costs within Miami have increased proportionately. The City of Miami has an estimated labor force of close to 175,000 of which 9% are unemployed. A cutback in new housing starts has had a devastating effect on employment in the construction trades. An amount of $$5, 038, 829 has been established as the City's budget for fiscal year 1974-75. The dramatic increase over the last year of the costs of supporting municipal services and the dim economic prospects for next year may require an increase in tax assessments to Miami residents in order to maintain a responsive level of service to the people. Continued federal support is necessary to prevent increased taxation of Mi:.mi residents already burdened with inflation and high housing costs. Page 1 of 6 In 1957, the citizens of Dade County adopted a modified two-tier form of Metropolitan government: '.L'hi s form of government requires close coordination behveen Metropolitan Dade County and the City of Miami in planning for and delivering services to Miami residents. Since positive working relationships had already been established, the coordination needed to develop a comprehensive community develop- ment program was accomplished. The City '.vial continue to rely upon Dade County to provide social services, health programs, housing code enforcement, housing rehabilitation, and the building of public housing for Miami residents. The City will continue to provide street improvements, parks and recreation facilities, building inspection and enforcement, police protection, fire protection, and planning and zoning administration. Dade County and the City of Miami will be moving simultaneously into the eight target areas to eliminate slums and blight and revitalize these areas. The basic strategy of Miami's Community Development Program is to build a lasting, flexible community development system which continues to use all of the City's financial resources, including funds available through the Housing and Community Development Act, to meet the service needs of our residents.

Five of the eight target areas contain on. -going federal Neighborhood Development Programs, Urban Renetval Projects, or Model City Programs with completed planning and engineering studies. Three other target areas - Wynwood, A1lapattah, and Little Havana - were identified and have been organized for citizen participation. These areas are experiencing rapid population change, overcrowding, and incipient blight. L-1 order to attack these problems, citizens from these areas have expressed a desire for community -based planning and a coyrirnunity focal point: a neighborhood multi -purpose center. They have also asked for help in arresting their residential and co.nmercial deterioration. All target areas requested some form of housing and corn nercial structure rehabilitation. In addition to fuL lling housing need, residents ask•3d for capital improvements in the forr._ of streets, sidewalks and open -space. Community recreation and social services were deemed priority reeds in 6 of the 8 areas. In the first year, many of these -'needs will be met by actual. construc- tion of public facilities. Other activities will commence with plaaairg and engineering studies, with funds programmed for land acquisition or site development in the second and third years. Some projects, such as commercial/retail rehabilitation, will be joint Miarni/Dade County efforts.

Community Development Task Force Citizen Participation Meetin,s: residents were organized to form a first year community development citizen participation structure in each of the 8 target areas. Needs were established, objectives identified and priorities set. • Urban Condition Analysis utilising information from such sources as: - Census Tract Data (1970) - Neighborhood Development studies - Community- participation meetings - 1-lousing Assistance Plan • t-7.tlrvey of Selected Community Representatives consisting of market research data from a modified random sample of community representatives using personal interviews and mail -outs. This Community Development Program has emphasized citizen participation. Roth City and County staff have worked with citizen groups in each target area and have provided technical assistance in developing projects that are eligible under the Housing and Community Development act. Page 4 of iJ • Planning and Irnpleruentation Mechanism In order to effectively address neighborhood needs, the City will establish a well-defined community development mechanism. Its foundation will lie at the neighborhood level, involving Miami citizens in defining needs and developing plans to meet them. The major elements of the system involve: Funding ongoing and ready -to -operate programs in areas where needs have already been identified and plans established. Identifying new areas for action and developing analytic, legislative and administrative tools needed for the permanent Community Development system. During the next 3 years, this community development strategy will include: I) A Community Development Planning Framework, integrating plans and objectives of the various departments of the City into a Community Development Program. 2) Implementation Measures designed to coordinate Community Development Block Grant funds, City revenues and business investment in those neighborhoods containing community development activity, including: • A method of programming the City's capital improvements and operating budgets to provide maximum effectiveness and efficiency in implementing community development plans. • A method of programming funds in areas least likely to receive other public or private assistance. • Legislative and administrative policy development. 3) Review of programs and plans by the Community Advisory Council, composed of neighborhood residents and evolving directly from a citizen participation structure. The City will utilize input from citizens as to neighborhood needs and priorities, specifically in the areas of: • Defining problems • Setting goals • Allocating resources • .Evaluating plans and programs • Developing community leaders ,Page 5of6 • The Community Advisory Council, the City Commission and in-house staff will he integrated in Community Development Planning.

An estimate 9.0 To of the City's population is presently unemployed. Within the City of Miami, neighborhood wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, real estate, and business and repair services employ 32.5 % of all persons employed within major industries. There are many commercial establishments in need of revitalization to attract consumer to deliver•services to the neighborhood, to stimulate employment opportunities, and to maintain economic diversity. There is a need for economic development activities that will stimulate and increase business revenues because the City might be faced with reductions in Federal and State funding. if this should occur, other local sources of funding will be needed to continue the current level of municipal services.

In addition. quantitative arliustnients were made using Dade County resources• Department of Housing and Urban Development and the C'onitnunit Analysis Division (CAD). Housing conditions were analyzed by 4"7A1.)'s Blight .Survey. All un- sound housing units (both deteriorated and dilapidated) were classified "deficient." Code enforcement. under Dade's Neighborhood Rehabili- tation Division further defined the rate of housing stock deterioration in Miami. Projected housing needs are based upon CAD's findings in their: ... County -wide housing profile ... .

The number of households reauirirg assistance were calculated from, the Dade County Housing Assistance Needs. units to be rehabilitated or built anew within the City are a portion of the ,):ode :'o'int•; Assistance Goals. 1 B. Characte_ttsticsand Condi.ionof Existing Housing Stock The City's housing s,tock consists of approximately 135,000 units, of which 47% are single-family homes and 53% are multi -family residence's. Sot:ne 34.4% of the City's housing is owner -occupied, compared to 55, 4"i for Dade County, 68. 6% for the State of Florida, and the national average of 62. 9%, 1, Vacancy Rate • In the 1970 Census, Miami container) 124,910 dwelling units of which 964410 were occupied and 4, 51 7 units or 3.6",i of all units were N.-acant. • Of this latter number, 1, 330 units or 1. 1"i) of all units were classified by the Census as vacant "other", Since these units represent seasonal occasional -use or other units held off the market, they have been dis- counted in this analysis. It should be noted, nevertheless, that these units represent 29'!0 of all vacant units in 1970. Having discounted "other" vacants, the City's 1970 adjusted base dwelling unit number becomes 123, 580. Of this base. 120, 393 units were occupied and 3, 187 were vacant (a 2. 58"Io vacancy rate.) For 1974, figures were up -dated per estimates of Miami and Dade County Planning Departments. Total Units 135, 000 Occupied 131,625 Vacant 3,375 Throughout Dade County, the vacancy rate for all housing units is 5%, with only 3% of the total stock vacant and immediately available for occupancy. a A vacancy rate of 8% is generally accepted as the minimum in order to allow an adequate choice of housing within a community. Within the Miami City limits, vacancies are at a minimum, approximately for standard housing and less for substandard units (2. 090). 2. Overcrowding Shortage of housing is compounded by a high rate of overcrowding. Looking at the number of such units (containing more than one person per room) clearly illustrates the need for additional housing within a given housing market. In It170, the Census found more than 24,000 overcrowded units in Miami (20. 7% of its stock). By 19-i'4, overcrowded conditions had ease somewhat due to: dDade County Housing Assistance Plan (H. A. P. ) Elitnitiatioii of substandard units in Central Miami via urban renewal. rehabilitation of deficient units through NDH code enforcettient = additional public housing units private market replacement of inadequate (overcrowded) units in Little Havana. =- an out-tnigration of Latin families from previously overcrowded unit_ within the City. Rates of overcrowding in Dade County are higher than those in New York, Chicago. Los Angeles, San Diego, Milwaukee, Houston and Dallas. Since overcrowding rates are highest among low-income portions of the population and occur more frequently in structurally deficient units, Miami manifests a larger -than -average share. Table 2 Overcrowded Conditions, 1975 Total Overcrowded Units 23,400a -- Standard, overcrowded units occupied by low- income households. - - Deficient, overcrowded units occupied by low— income families. 4, 000b 7, 200c aln 1070 Census: 24, 953. , By 1974, fewer overcrowded units. Target Areas: 19, 200 overcrowded units. bCAD estimates show 17% of overcrowded units are standard and occupied by low-income. cCAD cited 31% of overcrowded units as deficient and occupied by low-income. 4 3. befit lentiousittg Cotttttzutiity Analysis Division's 1970 Blight Survey indicates that 5'"n of the County housing stock was "deficient," both deteriorated and dilapidated units, 13y 1974, the Countya estimated an 8% deficiency, with most of these units concentrated in the 18 Community Development Target Areas, In its survey, CAD determined deficiency according to the number of "defects" found in the primary and secondary structural components of a unit. In the City of Miami, 11. 8% of the housing stock (14, 634 units) were classified "deficient." By 1974, approximately 13,200 units were still deficient (9. 8% of all units). Reinspection of structures through code enforcement activities indicates that deterioration in standard and slightly deficient units will occur at the rate of approximately 1,000 dwelling units during the first Community Development year. Based upon current code -enforcement experience, 500 of these units should conform to code standards by year's end. The remaining 500 units would add to the deficient housing stock unless counteracted with special assistance from the City's ard/or County's Community Development Program.

(2) Low-income households requiring housing rehabilitation assistance order to keep their existing housing from further deterioration. As- sistance should be given to both resident homeowners and absentee rental- landlords. Unless the latter receive rehabilitation assistance, rents would increase beyond the reach of low-income families. (3) Additional low-income households who wi11 he forted to continue living in or assuming occupancy in standard units that are either overcrowded or cost over 251) of income. This category is difficult to quantify since it depends heavily upon the amount of assistance rendered the first two categories. For example, unless an adequate number of low-income units are built in the next ten years. more households will he paying higher sales prices on rents for housing, thereby increasing the number in this category. Section 8 - Leased housing, utilizing existing housing stock, would correct the need in this category.

Since the third category is difficult to quantify. being dependent upon needs in the other categories, it is considered less urgent. C, Special Needs Special housing assistance will be'required by two particular user groups. 1. Elderly Households Over 45% of Miami's low-income households are elderly house- holds. a Public housing now provides 2, Z88 units for the elderly within the City limits. Dade County provides a total of 3, 646 units for the elderly and will build an ad-iitional 950 during the 1975-76 Community Development Year. In the future , additional housing for the elderly,vill become available through: A) Additional public housing and leased -housing allocations. Ii) Rehabilitation assistance to elderly homeowners in order to arrest further deterioration of owned -housing stock.

Year. A. Goals Dade County, .n its 1975 /lousing Assistance Plan, lit outlined its first year lousing goals. These goals, directly at feeting the City of Miami. include: .. deteriorated, but rehabilitatible units occupied by logy -income residents. existing standard units that can be utilized for occupancy by low- income residents. .. newly -constructed units for low-income occupancy. Accotnplishinent of these goals is heavily dependent upon the uti- lization of the Section 8 housing assistance program. The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development should administer the program in accordance with local objectives: (1) Selection priority should be given to developments located in community development target areas. (2) Units should be earmarked to Dade County in sufficient number to enable the County to develop all sites acquired under the Community Development program or the Neighborhood Development Program that are appropriate and designated for such development. Unit allocations for currently available NDP - acquired sites are included in the Summary of Housing Assistance Goals for Dade and the City of Miami in Section I3 of this Part. 13) Based upon the housing assistance needs of the elderly and large families established in this Housing Assistance Plan and Dade's Housing Assistance Plan. additions to the assisted housing stocl: should be made in a ratio of at least 30% but not more than 50"„ of all units for the elderly, and at least 2r1'1,i, of all units for large families (3 bedrooms or more). (4) Both the City of Miami and Dade County Housing_ Assistance Plans have established the housing needs of their low -intone populations, outlining the most appropriate housing action, to meet this need over the 1`t R-1'ta; projection period. Based upon this information. allocations under Section 8 should be made in the ratio of five new units to one existing unit. Page 15 Page 16 (5) Both Dade County and the City of Miami have determined that 50% of the first -year Community Development housing effort should take place within the Miami city limits: Accordingly, Miami's housing assistance goals (Table Ili in the 11. A, P. ) are one-half of the total units of Dade County's housing need. Based upon Dade County's best expectation of Section allocations (3, 000 units), Miami will receive 501'0. Any excess allocation (over the 3, 000 units) should be earmarke.i 100% to the City of Miami. Locations of assisted units should conform to the Housing Assistance Plan Map (Table IV, 1-1. A. P. forms. ) (6) Priority should be assigned to those developers who will provide community space and tenant services as part of their management plan. and who will give priority in occupancy to families on Dade County's public waiting list. Estimated Numerical Goal While the numerical goals, contained in Section 13 below, are based upon the full utilization of the total range of housing assistance programs presently available including Dade County's $4. 7 million locally -funded program, they fall short of meeting the estimated housing needs contained in Part 11 of this Plan. The goals do, however, reflect the best realistic estimate of the County's capacity to deliver a housing product to Miami's low-income residents during the first community development year.

Housing Assistance Iviechani sm Dade County has exclusive jurisdiction to carry out urban renewal activities on a county -wide basis. The County, through its Department of Housing and Urban Development, presently functions as the Public Housing Agency in the City of Miami. Under the provisions of the County's Home Rule Charter, Miami transferred its Housing Authority and public housing powers to Dade County. In light of the scope of housing assistance activities in which the County is involved, -both as a matter of legal jurisdiction and a function of intergovernmental agreement, and in accordance with the requirements of the Housing and Community Development Act to provide a comprehensive, area -wide strategy for meeting the housing needs of the low- income population, the County intends to carry out its housing assistance program in the following manner: Housing Expeditor for Dade County The Director of Dade County's Department of Housing and Urban Development will be the County's Housing Expeditor, responsible to the County Manager, for the implementation of the goals and objectives of this plan. In this regard, he will undertake the following activities: (a.) Direct production of public housing in a manner consistent with the housing assistance goals contained in Part III, Housing Assistance Plan for Dade County and the City of Miami. (b.) Insuring that federally assisted housing proposed within the County meets the objectives of this plan, the County Master Land Use Plan and the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Development Plan. In implementing these activities, the Housing Expeditor will work closely with the Miami Planning Department, building and zoning officials at the municipal level, and the South Florida Regional Planning; Council. (1) Solicit proposals for the development of Section housing to be o vned by the County, and male recommendations for selection of developers of Page 18 Page 19 all Section i. housing to the County Manager and HUD in a n inner consistent with they goals and objectives contained in Parts III and IV of this plan, City of Miami will cooperate with the }lousing Expeditor and review all Section 8 housings sites within the city limits, (2) Review and approve plans and act as management agent for Section 8 housing projects to be developed in Miami. (3) Receive leased housing funds from HUD, and enter into lease agreements with selected developers who will meet location, design, and environmental criteria and give priority to eligible families and individuals on the County's public housing waiting list. In conjuction with appropriate Federal, State, County and City agencies, develop and implement a program to meet the special housing needs of the physically and developmentally handicapped. 3.) Dade County Direct Involvement, Including Production In an effort to provide maximum flexibility in delivering a housing product to low income residents, Dade County plans to utilize the traditional Federal housing assistance mechanisms provided by the Housing and Community Development Act to the fullest possible extent. In addition, Dade County will implement a homeownership assistance loan program that was recently established with a County appropriation of approximately $4. 7 million. A description of the housing programs, other than Section 8 leased housing described above, that will be utilized to meet the targets for assisted housing units contained in Part III is as follows: a.) County Funded Home Ownership Assistance Loan Program The Dade County Board of "County Commissioners has appropriated $4, 725, 000 from the operating budget to finance housing for low and moderate income families. In Miami, the program will provide assistance enabling such families to buy- approximately 170 homes to be built on cleared urban renewal sites. Page 20 b. ) Traditional Public Housing At the beginning of the program year, the Dade County Departtnent of Housing and Urban Development will have 1,969 units of public housing in vet rictus stages of planning and development: During the first corntnunity development year, an additional 1, 000 units will he requested by Dade County HUD, 500 to be built in the City of Miami. c.) Modernization of Existing Public Housing During the community development year, DCHT D will apply for approximately $4. 0 million of additional Modernization funds, exclusive of Target Projects Program, to up -grade the condition of 2, 500 units of public housing, 1300 of which will be within the City of Miami. d.) Code Enforcement and Rehabilitation An integral element in preserving the existing housing stock that is occupied by low income families is the vigorous and systematic enforcement of the housing code. Dade County HUD's Neighborhood Rehabilitation Branch has legal jurisdiction in enforcing minimum housing standards in the unincorporated areas of the County and the City of Miami. An extensive program of inspection, enforcement, and coordination with other appropriate local agencies will be utilized to preserve and upgrade the existing standard housing stock. An essential part of the County's effort will be the provision of financial assistance to eligible home owners, where necessary. During the first community development year, this assistance will be funded from the following sources: County -Wide Funding Units Assisted Miami Community Development budget for 1975-76 $3. 2 million 380 190 Balance of County appro- priation 1973-74 Section 312 loans to be applied for Total: . 8 million 100 50 1. 0 million 120 60 5. 0 million 600 300 Page 21 As shown in Part i, Section ti, Characteristics and Condition. of the 1:7,xistiw; Housing Stock, sitrnificant nurnber of deficient structures occupied by log,-incorne fartnilies are capable of being rehabilitated, This mechanism will he heavily ennpli•at i-,ed to accomplish the foals and objectives of Dade County's and the City's Community Development Program, .] — ( I . • r �ii :..:. r' +art LayC'w L+� Ic L.� #`'+t tam.+ :Jim! .t.:i3� �3id'.:i3� 3i.•iGIS. r• -.-\ !.'' #1 ---\ Pi 9 i r\ri nr--_.-1r\.7. .' li, LI I i i Li ij- . .l. .iYiiG rt. :_. t.i:.. ii3 .

Department of Housing and Urban Development for a Federal grant, As part of the Federal Model Cities Progran, this area has received both Model Cities funds and Neighborhood Development Program funds prior to the enactment of the Community Development Act. The Model City Area is bounded on the north by NW 79th Street, on the east by the 1r-95 Expressway, on the south by the 1-1905 Airport Expressway, and on the west by the City Limits of Hialeah, or roughly NW 37th Avenue. The Model City area is partially within the City of Miami, approximately 30 percent of the land area and 38 percent of the population falls within the City of Miami. The City limits run north at 10th Avenue until 58th Street, , then into just west of 17th Avenue to 71st Street, east to 7th Avenue, and north to 79th Street. II. POPULATION According to the 1970 Census, the population of the Model City area is approxi- mately 81,000. Of this total, 89 percent, or 72,470 are black; four percent, or 2,830, are Spanish-American; and seven percent, or 5,690, are the balance. Age distribution for the Model City area indicates a very young population. The median age of Model City residents is 22.5 as compared to 34.3 years for Dade County as a whole. The age breakdown is shown in the following chart: POPULATION BY AGE Age Bracket Population 5 or less 6- 14 10, 72 3 13% 16,561 20% 15 - 59 46,609 5e% 60 & over 7,275 97� TOTAL 81,168 100`" III .

Deficient housing means one or more primary defective structural charactersitic (foundation, walls, roof) or several defective secondary structural components (porches, stairs, doors, windows, chimneys, gutters, and paint.) Further, the Model City area has 30 percent of its housing unit;; overcrowded, or 6,777, as defined by the 1970 U. S. Census as more than 1.01 persons per rrmr. Approximately 38 percent of the housing units in the Model City area are ow'. »r occupied as compared with 51 percent countywide. VI. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS A. unitary sewer collection and water distribution systems To date, 100 percent of the water distribution system is complete in t.h.• Model City area, while approximately 50 percent of the sanitary sewer collection system has been constructed. Construction on one large section in the City of Miami, generally bounded by I-95 on the east, NW 17th Avenue on the west, NW 54th Street on the south an3 NW 71st Street on the north, is scheduled for completion by July of 1975. Another area bounded by NW 27th Avenue on the east, NW 22nd Avenue on the west, NW 54th Street, on the south and NW 71st Street on the north is under contract and will be con- strutted through the use of Neighborhood Oevelopment Program funda.

The Dade County Department of Housing and Urban Development is scheduled to install the same high intensity sodium vapor streetlights in the Liberty 'square project and the James E. Scott Project. The Victory Homes Project already has the new lighting installed, The unincorporated portion of then area is served with streetlighting through special taxing district assessments. This lighting is far below the standard of the high intensity sodium vapor streetlighting, both in terms of brit-htness and the spaci nr between poles. Future streetlighting needs in Model City may be identified 21.3 the dev• tr,p- ❑ent of high -intensity sodium vapor streetlights for the entire are•n, since all of the residential areas in Model City presently have streetii.-hte. OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION A. The Dade County Open Space Master Plan established the need for h.5 acres of public open space per 1,000 residents. The open space index was developed in order to provide a cormon base for comparing relative de-. ficiencies in open space for various neighborhoods throughout Dade County. There are 22 planned and existing parks in the Model City :area.
