INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
The Honorable Mayor and
To DA1 is I n t
Members of the City Commission Eighteenth (18th) Year
Community Development
C� Block Grant (CDBG)
Application
FROM . Cesar H. Odio I1Li-r u ces .Commission Agenda Item
City Manager March 12, 1992
I:11Ci.(r;i11'iEs
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the -City Commission approve
the attached ordinance and resolution, appropriating (Eighteenth
Year) Community Development Block Grant Funds, authorizing the
City Manager to submit a.Final Statement to the U.S. Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requesting funds in the
amount of $13,156,000, for the proposed Community Development
Program during 1992-93, and further authorizing the City Manager,
upon approval of said grant by HUD, to accept the same and
execute the necessary implementing agreements. It is further
recommended that the City Commission approve the programming of
the expected Community Development program income of $1,400,000
in revolving loan fund revenues received from the City's housing,
economic development, and building demolition programs.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Community Development has prepared the
appropriate legislation for a public hearing on the 18th Year
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program scheduled for
this date. This will be the only hearing at the City Commission
regarding the proposed allocation.
In addition, staff has anticipated that $1,400,000 in program
income will be received during the coming year in terms of
revenues from various housing ($1,200,000), economic development
and other revolving loan funds.
This supplement to the City's grant amount brings the total
amount of funding available to $1,4,556,000.
It is 'recommendation of staff and the Community Development
Advisory Board that funding be concentrated on those activities
which will have the greatest positive impact;
- Housing
- Public Services
• 92--. 1901
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
Page •-2-
- Economic Development
- Public Improvements
The 18th year grant of $13,156,000 will provide an increase of 4%
over the previous year's grant. This represents an additional
$543,000 above last year's funding level of $12,613,000 for
project allocation.
The members of the Advisory Board should be commended for the
long hours they put into this process of determining the best way
to allocate the City's CDBG funds. Attached (I) is a summary of
recommended projects by both the Board and staff.
There were over 33 million dollars worth of funding requests for
the 18th year CDBG program year. Among these requests were
several large scale proposals such as $879,000 from Dade County
HUD (not recommended), $4 million for Wynwood Community Economic
Development Corporation Trade Zone (WCEDC), (not recommended),
$1.5 million from Miami Dade Community College (not recommended
by staff) and another $2.5 million for construction of two new
buildings for CCSA/Greater Bethel Church (not recommended). One
of the buildings would have been a residential facility which may
qualify under the City's new HOME Program.
The major difference between the Board and staff recommendations
is that staff has sought to maintain funding for existing housing
an economic development projects with the exception of several
Physical Improvement proposals. The Board, on the other hand,
has recommended a drastic reduction in funds to the City's
Housing Program and is proposing the funding of other community
based organizations project requests.
I. Housing:
Since 1978, a major portion of the City's annual CDBG allocation
has been earmarked for the provision of low -interest loans and
direct grants to low and moderate income homeowners for the
purpose of financing needed home repairs. Loan repayments are
rolled over into the program and used to provide additional loans
and grants.
.,
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
Page •-3-
In addition, the CDBG funded Multifamily Rental Housing
Rehabilitation Financing Program provides rehabilitation
financing for needed repairs to rental housing projects located
in the City's Community Development Target Areas, at interest
rates and terms which would not require major rent increase
burdens to be passed on to the low income tenants.
The Department of Development and Housing Conservation recommends
funding Single Family and Multifamily Rehabilitation Loan
Programs ut the level of $1,000,000 each. This represents a
decrease of 50% from the previous year's $4 million dollar
allocation, due to the availability of $5.3 million in additional
grants under the new HOME housing program. The Community
Development Advisory Board recommended the level of $1,000,000
total for both City programs.
The Board moved for continued funding of the Allapattah Business
Development Authority and the Wynwood Community and Economic
Development Corporation against staff recommendations. The Board
and staff recommended funding for seven (7) Community Based
Organizations, CODEC, East Little Havana, Tacolcy, St. John
Community Development Corporation, Florida Housing Cooperative,
and two (2) new organizations Little Haiti Housing Association
and Greater Miami Neighborhoods.
Six (6) of the CBO's are recommended for administrative and
programmatic funding at the level of $50,000 each. Only Greater
Miami Neighborhoods is recommended at a higher level of $100,000.
Greater Miami Neighborhoods (GMN) is not a standard community
based organization, since it provides project development and
technical assistance to other.non-profit housing organizations
engaged in the development*of neighborhood housing projects.
II. PUBLIC SERVICE:
Support services which complement the physical and economic
develupment thrust of the Community Development Program are
essential to assist residents and improve the quality of life in
neighborhoods. The public services programs recommended for
funding are tailored to meet the needs of the particular
neighborhoods and include: meals, elderly services, child care,
primary health care and special needs.
"92- 1904
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
Page -4-
Federal regulations limit available CDBG funding for public
Services to a fifteen per cent (15%) cap of the total CDBG grant.
Due to an increase in the City's 18th Year CDBG entitlement, the
available amount for public services will also increase from
$1,891,950 to $1,973,250 (an increase of $81,300). In the 17th
Year, the City Commission allocated the allowable 15% cap of its
CDBG allocation for public services and the recommendations of
both the Citywide Advisory Board and the administration support
the continuation of this policy.
In the 18th Year, staff received funding requests for public
services in the amount of $4,643,756. The 18th Year staff
recommendations includes the continuation of funding to existing
projects at current funding levels for those agencies requesting
18th Year funding, which commits $1,861,370 of the $1,973,250
available. 'The staff recommendation further allocates the
remaining available public services balance 'of $111,860 to the
City of Miami Comprehensive Homeless Assistance Project.
It should be noted that, if other new projects are funded or
allocations to existing projects are increased, then such funding
must be taken from either recommended public service agencies or
the City of Miami project for the homeless.
The Citywide Community Development Advisory Board concurs with
the staff recommendation for the allocation of CDBG public
service funds, except as follows:
1. The Advisory Board recommends funding the following
agencies, which are not part of the staff recommendation:
Better Way of Miami, Inc. $10,000
Haitian American Civic Association 76,000
Positive, Inc. 10,000
2. The Advisory Board recommends that funding for the
aforementioned three (3) projects be taken from the staff
recommendation of funding..for the City of Miami Homeless
Project, thereby reducing the City of Miami Homeless
Project to $15,880.
92- 190.1.
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
Page -5-
Neighborhoods Jobs Program:
The Neighborhoods Jobs Program is also recommended for continued
funding at the reduced level of $175,000, a decrease of $45,000
from last year's allocation of $220,000. This reduction is the
result of success in obtaining additional funding through the
South Florida Employment and Training Consortium and the State of
Florida. It is projected that the Neighborhoods Jobs Program
will place approximately 1,000 City of Miami residents in
unsubsidized employment in the coming year, including many hard
core unemployed individuals.
III. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
The staff and the Board recommended the funding of ten (10)
Community Based Organizations (CBO's) for the 1992-93 fiscal
year. However, staff differs on the level of funding for several
of these agencies. The Board recommends $100,000 for Martin
Luther King Economic Development Corporation, and $100,000 for
Wynwood Community Economic Development Corporation. Staff
recommends $50,000 for all organizations.
The Board and staff agree on no funding for the Latin Quarter
Association. There are three existing CBO's undertaking economic
development and housing activities in Little Havana. This agency
was not recommended last year.
Administrative funding for the Department of Development and
Housing Conservation in the amount of $250,000 to manage the
Southeast Overtown Park West project is also included as part of
.the CDBG allocations.
