SUBJECT: State of Florida Distributes Corona Relief Funds (CRF) for Rent and Mortgage
Assistance to Residents
The State of Florida has been awarded funding through the Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF).
The state is releasing $120 million of these funds for disbursement through the State Housing
Incentives Program (SHIP) infrastructure. This funding, while not specifically SHIP, will carry
some of the programmatic process and restrictions for ease of administration and entitlement
communities.
The funds are required to be allocated based on calculations related to the reemployment
rate within each county. Once a county allocation is calculated, it is disbursed to the county
and eligible cities using the SHIP population methodology.
Funds will be disbursed in two rounds of payments. The first will be sent to the local
governments as soon as an executed subrecipient agreement is in place. Florida Housing
Finance Corporation (FHFC) anticipates that the second payment will be made in September
or October 2020.
The City of Miami Beach is expected to receive $247,500 for activities such as rental and
mortgage assistance payments, as stated in Exhibit A. All funds including any interest earned
on the funds, must be fully expended by December 30, 2020. This is a federal requirement
and there is no anticipation of an extension of that deadline. Any funds not expended by that
date will be required to be returned to Florida Housing and subsequent return to the US
Treasury.
Ten percent (10%) of the allocation may be utilized for administrative costs, as well as any
reasonable project delivery fees incurred through the use of a third-party organization that is
assisting with this funding. Since these are federal funds, the provisions of the Uniform
Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) apply.
Training and technical assistance regarding the funding's eligible uses, requirements, and
administration will be available in the coming weeks. The training and technical assistance
will be provided by the Florida Housing Coalition and will be the most effective way of getting
the detailed information needed to implement and administer these funds.
The City's Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) was revised and approved by City
Commission and Florida Housing Finance Corporation to include up to three (3) months' of
rent and mortgage assistance under the Disaster Repair strategy. The maximum value of
awards for rent and mortgage assistance will be $5,000 per household.
