BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City of Miami Beach (the "City") is a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) designated entitlement city as determined by the decennial census information on
population growth lag, overcrowding, age of housing stock, and poverty. The City has been an
entitlement city since 1975. As an entitlement city, Miami Beach qualifies for an annual allocation
of federal funding under HUD's grant programs, including the HOME Investment Partnership
(HOME) Program and the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.
The Five -Year Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan (Plans) are a federal requirement for
all HUD entitlement communities. The Five -Year Consolidated Plan describes how the City
intends to use HOME and CDBG funds for the term of the Plan. The 2023-2027 Consolidated
Plan was adopted on June 28, 2023, via Resolution No. 2023-32637. The Action Plan is a
component of the Consolidated Plan and provides a concise summary of the actions, activities,
and programs that will take place during the program year to address the priority needs and goals
identified in the Consolidated Plan.
The 2026 Action Plan must be submitted to HUD on or before August 16, 2026, using HUD's
Integrated Disbursement Information System (IDIS).

Senior Clean Living
Beach by providing deep cleaning services to improve respiratory
health, stability, and longevity. This initiative enhances quality of
life, promotes independence, reduces isolation, and improves
mental and physical well-being. With Miami-Dade's 60+ population
projected to grow by 30% in 15 years and funding already
insufficient, the need for services continues to rise. In Miami Beach,
25% of seniors —over 4,200 people live below the poverty level,
highlighting the urgency of this support. The program aims to
provide services to 20 beneficiaries at $21,638.
The funding recommendation is $21,638.
Friendship Circle of Miami

income individuals and households who are homeless or at risk of
Homelessness Project
homelessness, with a focus on North Beach residents. The Project
can provide legal services, outreach, and offsite intake to low- and
moderate -income residents at risk of homelessness. Each quarter,
LSGMI will open new cases, continue legal representation for
ongoing clients, conduct twice monthly offsite intake, and hold one
outreach or education event. Throughout the year, staff will review
progress, adjust activities as needed, and complete a final report
summarizing outcomes. While the funding request is $88,740 to
serve 115 beneficiaries, there are insufficient CDBG funds
available.
The funding recommendation is $50,000 from unexpended
HOME -ARP funds.
Miami Beach Police
The Miami Beach PAL Workforce Pathways program proposes to
Athletic League
support low -to moderate -income residents by removing
PAL Workforce Pathways
transportation barriers for young adults enrolled in a vocational
apprenticeship in Ft. Lauderdale and by expanding paid internship
opportunities for high school youth. The program will provide
monthly transit assistance, verify enrollment, and place teens ages
16-18 in paid internships that build workforce readiness and career
exposure. These services aim to increase access to job training,
employment opportunities, and economic mobility for Miami Beach
residents. By strengthening transportation access and expanding
youth work experiences, PAL Workforce Pathways promote
employment stability and long-term self-sufficiency for underserved
individuals and families. The program intends to serve 25
beneficiaries with a funding request of $20,000.
The funding recommendation is $15,000.
CMB Office of Housing

administered by the Office of Housing and Community Services
and has been funded by CDBG since 2015 and leveraged with
additional funding provided through the City's General Funds. The
program assisted 94 elderly Miami Beach residents with monthly
grocery delivery services during the 2025/2026 program year.
The funding recommendation is $25,691.05.
The Salvation Army
The proposed project expands a housing stabilization and
The Center of Hope
homelessness prevention program serving low -and moderate -
income North Beach residents at risk of eviction or housing loss
through housing stabilization, case management, landlord
mediation, housing navigation, and connection to supportive
services, with limited one-time financial assistance for rent or utility
arrears when needed. The program intends to serve 50
beneficiaries with a funding request of $60,000. However, the City
currently has funding allocated to housing stabilization and case
535 of 2591
management through the Office of Housing and Community
Services.
The proposal is not recommended for funding.
Ascension One Collective, Evolution One, in partnership with Synergy Yoga, proposes a
Inc dba Evolution One- wellness program that provides mindfulness, gentle movement,
Mindfulness and Energetic breathwork, grounding techniques, and relaxation practices to low -
Self -Care and moderate -income Miami Beach residents. Services will include
regular group sessions, workshops, and outreach -based
programming offered in community locations, through partner
organizations serving seniors, and online. The program will
primarily benefit low- and moderate -income older adults who face
barriers to wellness services, improving stress management,
emotional resilience, and overall wellbeing. The proposal intends
to serve 300 beneficiaries with a funding request of $60,000.
However, the program does not align with CDBG program
regulations.
The proposal is not recommended for funding.
Two applications were received for CDBG economic development projects:
Hispanic Business
The Prospera Small Business Technical Assistance Program
Initiative Fund Inc. DBA
proposes to provide comprehensive technical assistance to
Prospera
microenterprises, small business owners, and aspiring
entrepreneurs throughout the city. The program will include
counseling for 25 micro -enterprise owners and entrepreneurs in
one-on-one manner on business start-up, planning, expansion,
and readiness to access micro loans. All business owners are
eligible for business advancement services if they qualify.
This request is an increase in funding from $55,000 to $60,000
from the prior year.
The proposal is not recommended for funding.
Black Economic
The program proposes to offer low -interest microloans to eligible
Development Coalition,
entrepreneurs facing barriers to accessing traditional financing
Inc. D/B/A Tools for
from lending institutions. Loans will range from $10,000 to $20,000
Change- Miami Beach
for existing businesses seeking to expand or stabilize operations,
Micro Enterprise Lending
and up to $10,000 for start-up businesses to assist with early -state
Program
business development. These services will focus on financial
management, business planning, regulatory compliance,
customer service, and workforce development to ensure that
entrepreneurs have the skills and resources necessary to
successfully launch, manage, and expand their businesses.
The funding request is $300,000 to serve 20 beneficiaries.
The proposal is not recommended for funding.
There is $138,229.05 available for FY 2026 Public Services, while applications for these services
totaled $371,969.05. The Administration proposes funding six applications and one City -managed
program that align with CDBG national objectives and program regulations. Additionally, one
application is proposed for funding using unexpended HOME -ARP Supportive Services funds.
On April 21, 2026, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee ("AHAC") discussed the FY 26
536 of 2591
RFA proposals and voted to support the Administration's recommendations for public service
activities. The motion was transmitted via Letter to Commission No. 189-2026.
On May 26, 2026, the AHAC decided to reject both economic development proposals, opting to
allocate more City funds toward property acquisition. The motion was transmitted via Letter to
Commission No. 235-2026.
The Administration recommends allocating the remaining $598,992.55 in CDBG funds toward the
acquisition of property for affordable housing. This activity supports the City's goals to increase
affordable housing options for low- and moderate -income residents. Additionally, property
acquisition can be completed relatively quickly, which helps meet CDBG timeliness requirements.

services for $20,000 and the project will be funded with the program administration budget.

in outreach events citywide. HOPE, Inc. is also responsible for investigating allegations of Fair
Housing Act violations for residents who believe they are victims of discrimination.
537 of 2591
HOME 2026 Funding
The Administration did not receive any proposals during the FY 26 RFA process. The HOME
Program rules require each entitlement community to reserve a minimum of 15% of its annual
allocation for activities undertaken by qualified Community Housing Development Organizations
(CHDO). A CHDO is a private nonprofit, community -based service organization that has identified
the development of affordable housing as its primary mission and can develop affordable housing.
In addition, a GHDO must meet certain requirements pertaining to its legal status, organizational
structure, capacity, and experience. Currently, there is no certified CHDO.
As required by HUD, the City will allocate 15 percent of the HOME funds to the CHDO set -aside
and 10 percent for program administration. The remaining balance of $367,334.86 will be
combined with CDBG funds to support the acquisition of a property for use as affordable housing,
maximizing the impact of both funding sources.
Below are the recommendations for the HOME Program:

HOME- ARP Fund Reallocation
The HOME American Rescue Plan Program (HOME -ARP) is a federally funded initiative
established through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and administered by HUD through
the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. The program was created to address
homelessness and housing instability resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic by providing
resources to assist vulnerable populations with housing and supportive services. The
Administration has fully earmarked its allocation towards activities that align with the program's
intent.
On June 28, 2022, the Commission approved the allocation of $50,000 in HOME -ARP funds to
establish a rental application fee reimbursement pilot program. As of June 2026, no requests have
been received for the rental fee reimbursement requests. Between 2022 and 2025, Legal Services
of Greater Miami, Inc. ("Legal Services") successfully implemented three separate initiatives with
HOME -ARP funds, benefitting 423 income -eligible residents by providing legal assistance.
Although the City does not currently fund Legal Services, their staff continue to meet with
residents by appointment at the Office of Community Services walk-in center, located at 765 1711
Street to provide legal assistance with landlord -tenant issues.
In response to the FY 26 RFA, Legal Services proposes to provide free legal services to income -
eligible individuals and households who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, with a focus on
North Beach residents. The Project will provide legal services, outreach, and offsite intake to low -
and moderate -income residents at risk of homelessness. Each quarter, LSGMI will open new
cases, continue legal representation for ongoing clients, conduct twice monthly offsite intake, and
hold one outreach or education event. Throughout the year, staff will review progress, adjust
activities as needed, and complete a final report summarizing outcomes. While the funding
request is $88,740 to serve 115 beneficiaries, there are insufficient CDBG funds available. The
Administration determined that based on their successful implementation of HOME -ARP
initiatives, the unexpended funds originally designated for the Rental Fee Reimbursement pilot
program could be repurposed for their initiative.
538 of 2591
At its April 21, 2026, meeting, the AHAC discussed the FY 26 RFA submissions for CDBG public
services. The Committee evaluated the Administration's recommendations for funding public
services and made a motion to fund eight applications with available CDBG funding of
$138,229.05 and to fund the project proposal submitted by Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc.
with unexpended HOME -ARP funds in the amount of $50,000.
Citizen Participation
In accordance with the Citizen Participation Plan, the City advertised a notice of public hearing
and public 30-day comment period (March 23, 2026 — April 21, 2026) for community
development needs. The public hearing was held on April 21, 2026.

1. Introduction
The City of Miami Beach engages local organizations, the public, and elected officials to gather input for
the PY 2026 Annual Action Plan (AAP). This section outlines the City's coordination with its partners and
lists the agencies and organizations that contributed to the plan's development. Input from local
organizations and agencies during the five-year Consolidated Plan helped shape the ongoing priorities and
goals for each AAP. The City consulted with the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC), City
departments, and sub -recipients to identify high -priority housing and community development needs.
The following section highlights these partnerships and the agencies and organizations consulted.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and
service agencies (91.215(1))
The City of Miami Beach enhances coordination between public and assisted housing providers, private
entities, health departments, mental health clinics, and community development agencies. Through
structured engagement, Miami Beach facilitates information exchange and strategic planning among
stakeholders to address affordable housing, homelessness, and community development needs. These
include the local public housing authority, and the homeless Continuum of Care and its members.
The Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach is the local the local public housing agency serving Miami
Beach and was consulted in the preparation of this plan. These agencies provided data on tenant and
housing choice voucher holder characteristics, waiting lists, and future plans for development. In addition
to the public housing agencies, the City consulted with other private and governmental agencies, mental
health, and service agencies was instrumental in developing priorities and the preparation of this plan.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The local Continuum of Care (CoC) is governed by the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust Board. The
Homeless Trust Board is comprised of 27 members drawn from a broad base, including the City of Miami
Beach, representing numerous sectors of our community. The board uses recommendations from its sub-
committees, as well as recommendations from Homeless Trust staff and feedback from community
meetings with providers to guide policy development for the CoC, including funding and project
prioritization. This structure allows for a clear and transparent CoC leadership structure, participation of
all stakeholders in the decision -making process for funding and priorities and a coordinated response
targeted toward strategic solutions to ending homelessness in Miami -Dade County.

2026

OMB Control No: 250&0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
549 of 2591
Each year the Trust's CoC Sub -Committee identifies the community's homeless housing and service needs.
The process involves extensive input from the community, including surveys of homeless persons and
input from homeless providers, as well as public comment meetings, and review and approval by the
Homeless Trust Board (whose meetings are publicly noticed). This resulted in the following funding
priorities: 1) Permanent housing for individuals or families experiencing chronic homelessness, veterans
(individuals or families), and families with children; 2) Transitional Housing for - individuals or families
experiencing chronic homelessness, veterans (individuals or families), and families with children; 3) Safe
Havens; 4) Services Only (including outreach); and 5) the Homeless Management Information System
(HMIS).
The City Homeless Outreach Services Team provides homeless outreach, partially funded by the Trust, to
those homeless in the City in accordance with the Trust's Outreach, Assessment and Placement model.
The model provides a standardized procedure for homeless persons to access the Continuum of Care and
ensures they access services appropriate to their individual needs.
The outreach teams also participate in the coordinated outreach process, another program funded by the
Homeless Trust, which provides behavioral health outreach workers who work alongside street outreach
workers targeting chronically homeless persons. The coordinated outreach process brings together all the
CoC outreach teams, including the Veterans Administration, once a month to discuss issues encountered,
as well as discussing referrals to low demand services and Housing First permanent housing programs for
the chronically homeless placed directly from the street.
The CoC administers the Coordinated Outreach, Assessment, and Placement (COAP) system, a
standardized intake model used to prioritize housing and services based on vulnerability. Under this
system, outreach teams —including those from Citrus Health Network and the U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs —conduct assessments using the VI-SPDAT or F-VI-SPDAT tool. Individuals with high
vulnerability scores are referred to permanent supportive housing, while those with moderate needs are
directed to rapid rehousing or other short-term interventions. Veterans may be connected to specialized
programs such as HUD-VASH, SSVF, or Grant and Per Diem services.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) funding but does coordinate with the Miami -
Dade County Homeless Trust to prioritize ESG objectives which currently include emergency shelter,
homeless prevention and rapid re -housing. Priorities are evaluated annually and take into account
performance standards and outcomes. The Homeless Trust has developed a centralized assessment tool
to capture data on all clients accessing services. HMIS is administered county -wide by the Homeless Trust.
Providers who receive Trust funding are required to utilize the system and are provided individual user

licenses, technical assistance and training related to the HMIS system. Among many of its functions, the
system is used to generate reports on monthly and annual progress, provide point -in -time information,
and conduct referrals from one program to another in accordance with both Homeless Trust and HUD
policies and procedures.

The City also reviewed its municipal Wi-Fi program, which provides free internet access through the City
of Miami Beach WIFI and MBKIDS networks. These networks cover a substantial portion of public areas
across the city and serve as a critical digital access point, particularly for residents without reliable home
internet.
In addition, the City considered services offered by the Miami -Dade Public Library System, including the
South Shore and North Beach branches located in Miami Beach. These libraries provide free Wi-Fi, public
access computers, and hotspot and tablet lending programs that directly benefit LMI individuals and
families.

Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal -setting
The City of Miami Beach closely follows its Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) as per 24 CFR 91.105, which sets forth the City's policies and procedures
for citizen participation of the 2026 AAP. The CPP provides details about the public notice requirements for all meetings and the various stages of
Consolidated Plan and AAP development, public hearings before the citizens of the City and the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC),
accommodations for persons with disabilities, and the conduct of public review of draft documents. Adhering closely to the CPP, the City held a
public comment period and public hearing.
The City consults with the AHAC, the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust, and public service providers and community development corporations to
identify outcomes and objectives in the Plan. Aside from advertisement for public comment, the City also receives feedback at City Commission
and Committee meetings. The following table details the citizen participation outreach efforts of the City of Miami Beach.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
The City of Miami Beach uses multiple resources to carry out activities that benefit low and moderate -income persons. The City receives
entitlement funding for CDBG and HOME programs. The Office of Community Services administers the funding on behalf of the City. For PY 2026,
the City received $921,527.00 in CDBG funds and $489,779.82 in HOME funds. The City does not anticipate generating program income during this
program year for either program.
The primary objective of the CDBG program is to provide decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities
principally for low- and moderate -income persons and neighborhoods. All prior year funds are currently committed to active projects.
The intent of the HOME Program is to provide decent affordable housing to low-income households, expand the capacity of nonprofit housing
providers, strengthen the ability of state and local governments to provide housing, and leverage private sector participation. All prior year funds
are currently committed to active projects.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The City of Miami Beach will utilize a combination of public and private funding to implement activities outlined in the Annual Action Plan. In
Program Year 2026, the City will explore opportunities to secure additional funding streams aligned with the goals of the Consolidated Plan. At
present, the City employs alternative grant resources to mitigate reductions in HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) program funding.
Additionally, the City collaborates with various non-profit organizations to promote the leveraging of available funding sources and to enhance
organizational capacity.
The HOME program supports the creation and development of affordable housing for low- and moderate -income (LMI) households within the
City. Program funds require a 25 percent match for all supported activities, and a HOME -match log will be maintained annually to document
matching contributions. The City will fulfill this requirement by drawing from multiple sources, primarily local and state funds. The total anticipated
match for Fiscal Year 2026, upon full expenditure of funds, is projected to be $122,445.

AP-50 Geographic Distribution — 91.220(f)
Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
The City of Miami Beach receives entitlement program funds directly from HUD and assistance will be
provided in low-income census tracts throughout the City and directly to low and moderate -income
residents through its public service programs.
Low-income Households Concentration
A "low-income concentration" is any census tract where the median household income (MHI) is 80% or
less than the MHI for the City of Miami Beach. According to the 2020-2024 American Community Survey
(ACS) 5-Year Estimates, the MHI in Miami Beach is $72,856. A tract is considered to have a low-income
concentration if the MHI is $58,284 or less. Tracts with a concentration are 39.13 to the northern part of
the City, and tracts 42.04, 44.03, 44.04 and 44.04 to the south.
Race/Ethnic Minority Concentration
A "racial or ethnic concentration" is any census tract where a racial or ethnic minority group makes up
10% or more of that group's citywide percentage. Data was taken from the 2020-2024 ACS 5-Year
estimates. Due to the small sample size, only racial or ethnic groups making up at least 1% of the City's
population were analyzed.
Black or African American, non -Hispanic: This group makes up 3.2% of the citywide population, and a
census tract is considered a concentration if 13.2% of the population is part of this racial group. There is
one tract on the coastline with a concentration: 41.05.
Asian, non -Hispanic: Approximately 2.7% of the City population identifies as Asian. A census tract is
considered a concentration if 12.7% of the population is part of this racial group. There are no census
tracts with a concentration.
Hispanic: Hispanic persons comprise 52.5% of the City's population, and a census tract is considered a
concentration if 62.5% of the population is part of this ethnic group. There are four tracts to the north of
the City with a concentration: 39.11, 39.12, 39.15 and 39.16.

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The City of Miami Beach covers just over 15 square miles, and the highest areas of poverty are
concentrated in the North and South Beach area. The City relies on widely accepted data such as American
Community Survey, HUD's low- and moderate -income summary data, and Federal Financial Institutions
Examinations Council's (FFIEC) data to determine areas throughout the community with concentrations
of low and moderate -income communities. Program resources are allocated citywide based on low -mod
areas which often coincide with areas of minority concentration.
Certain activities in the CDBG program will also target low/mod areas (LMA) in its five-year plan. In which
case, the planned activities will serve a low/mod community or neighborhood (LMA). These activities are
said to have an "area -wide" benefit. Per HUD requirements, these areas must be within an eligible
Low/Mod Block Group Tract, as defined by HUD-CDBG regulations, whereby the majority of the residents
are low- to moderate -income (or 51%). Public facility improvement activities may also be targeted
specifically to special need groups such as the elderly, persons with a disability and the homeless, in which
case these accomplishments will be reported by persons served (LMC).
To determine LMI tracts the City utilizes HUD's CDBG Low Mod Income Summary Data (LMISD) from the
HUD Exchange website, which has defined the eligible block group tracts within the jurisdiction. The tracts
can be at: https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/acs-low-mod-summary-data/.

AP-60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City will continue to support the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach (HACMB) in addressing
the needs of public housing residents by providing down -payment assistance programs to eligible
individuals. HACMB is recognized as a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) -
designated High Performer and currently administers 3,664 vouchers through the Section 8 Housing
Choice Voucher and HUD -Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) Programs, in addition to
managing 200 public housing units. The HUD-VASH program managed by HACMB is the largest and most
prominent in South Florida. To further serve veterans in the community, HACMB has established a HUD-
VASH program in collaboration with the Key West/Monroe County Housing Authority. HACMB also
operates a Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) Program, which includes the Section 8 Homeownership
component, enabling FSS participants to become first-time homeowners.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
As reported in the HACMB's 2025 PHA Action Plan, the PHA conducted a Capital Fund Program for the
Rebecca Towers South complex for facility improvements and operations. The PHA also opened online
pre -applications in early 2026 at Rebecca Towers North. Rebecca Towers North is located at 200 Alton
Road, Miami Beach, FL 33139, and is a Section 8 Project -Based Voucher development designated for
income -eligible elderly individuals 62 years of age or older. The property consists of one building with a
total of 200 units (120 studio apartments and 80 1-bedroom apartments).
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
HACMB provides multiple outlets for public housing residents to be involved. Public housing residents
(each adult family member) must contribute eight hours per month of community service and participate
in an economic self-sufficiency program. With the economic self-sufficiency program in place, MHA
encourages its residents to participate in activities promoting economic stability that could lead to
homeownership.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
According to HUD's Public Housing Agency Score (PHAS), the HACMB scored a 94 and is designated a high
performer and is not considered by HUD to be troubled or poorly performing.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
This section outlines the City of Miami Beach's one-year goals and activities for assessing and serving
homeless individuals and special needs populations. The City's strategy focuses on meeting essential
needs and investing in programs that help people experiencing homelessness secure permanent housing
as quickly as possible. Intervention options include rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing,
immediate access to low -barrier emergency shelters, recovery -focused housing, transitional housing for
special needs groups (such as households fleeing domestic violence, youth, and individuals with substance
use issues), and diversion programs. The City works with the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust and
Continuum of Care providers to strengthen governance and ensure effective service delivery.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City's Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST) consistently engages individuals experiencing
homelessness at locations where they are sleeping, resting, or panhandling. HOST employs an
assessment -driven approach that is responsive to mental health and addiction concerns. The team
conducts outreach missions during daytime hours and responds to online service requests submitted
through the city's eGov application. Over the next year, the City will continue to implement coordinated
outreach missions in partnership with other municipal departments, including Police, Fire, Parks and
Recreation, Facilities Management, Environment and Sustainability, Code Compliance, Public Works, and
Sanitation, to ensure that individuals experiencing homelessness or those in need of assistance receive
essential resources.
The City's municipal walk-in center is located at 771 17 Street. It is a fixed place where people wanting
help can access professional, courteous support to leave the street behind. HOST services include:
• Emergency shelter (men, women, and children) with Care Coordination services tailored to each
client's individual strengths and needs. The city contracts with 4 shelter providers to ensure that
the most appropriate placement is made for each person.
• Care Coordination services.
• Application assistance for all entitlements including disability and SNAP benefits.
• Identification documentation replacement (including birth certificates, government -issued ID,
work permits and driver's license).
• Job placement and on -site temporary employment.
• Family reunification/relocation services (providing relocation to any location in the contiguous

U.S. where someone is willing and able to provide shelter and support).
• Mental health screening and services.
• Coordination of voluntary treatment services for mental health and co-occurring disorders.
• Rapid re -housing services including rental assistance and security deposit.
• Referrals to legal service agencies
• Homeless Veteran services
• Transportation to day treatment services including showers and hot meals
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City will continue to support organizations that address the emergency shelter and transitional
housing needs of persons experiencing homelessness to establish a more robust social service system.
The Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust serves as the lead agency for Miami -Dade County's Homeless
Continuum of Care (CoC), responsible for the oversight, planning and operations of the entire CoC. Since
emergency shelters in the community do not take walk-ins, the Miami -Dade County Homeless County CoC
operates a Homeless Helpline to identify persons experiencing homelessness. When a person
experiencing homelessness contacts the Homeless Helpline, they are referred to the most appropriate
program to meet their specific needs. Persons seeking emergency shelter, treatment services, and
transitional housing needs in the City are served by the following organizations:
• Camillus House for Single Males and Single Females
• Miami Rescue Mission for Single Males
• The Salvation Army for Single Males, Single Females, Families w/Children
• The Sundari Foundation, dba Lotus House for Single Females and Children
• New Hope C.O.R.P.S., treatment services for Single Males
Homeless Trust also houses homeless or formerly homeless persons and in 2023 was selected to receive
a $21 million HUD CoC grant to help reduce that number through significantly enhanced street outreach
and get chronically homeless individuals housed. Shelter and homeless services include food assistance,
shower services and mail services for unsheltered homeless persons.
Mobile outreach teams serve as the primary entry point to the homeless system, canvassing Miami -Dade
County to identify individuals living in unsuitable locations, such as streets, cars, parks, or abandoned
buildings. These teams also work with school staff, police, and other agencies to identify homeless
households. Designated access points have been established to assess and assist vulnerable sub -
populations, including unaccompanied youth, individuals fleeing domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, or stalking, and veterans.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals

and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City will continue to support the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust in efforts to reduce the duration
of homelessness experienced by individuals and families, including chronically homeless persons, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth. The Miami -Dade Homeless
Continuum of Care utilizes a Housing First model, which prioritizes rapid connection to permanent housing
and provides necessary care and support to promote stabilization and improved quality of life. The
primary objectives are to facilitate prompt access to permanent housing, enhance self-sufficiency, and
ensure long-term housing stability.
The Homeless Trust has developed performance standards for coordinated intake and assessment,
adopting housing -first core concepts, implementing housing -first standards, and establishing core
components for rapid rehousing and procedures for Homeless Management Information System (HMIs)
administration. These activities help to quickly identify the needs of effected individuals and families and
help them make the transition to stable housing outcomes.
HMIS is the locally administered, electronic data collection system that stores client -level information
about individuals and families who access homeless and other human services in the CoC area. Each CoC
receiving HUD funding is required to implement an HMIS to capture standardized data about all persons
accessing the homeless and at -risk of homelessness assistance system. The Homeless Trust is the HMIS
lead agency responsible for system administration and project management of the CoC. For the
implementation of HMIS, the Homeless Trust develops policy standards and procedures for data usage
for all users and member agencies. Data quality standards serve to maintain or improve the quality of the
data entered into the HMIS.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded
institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster
care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The primary goal is to quickly connect individuals with available housing and support them in accessing
subsidies and increasing their income to maintain long-term housing stability. The City's Outreach teams
work with hospitals, courts, and other institutions to plan the discharge of individuals experiencing
homelessness. The Miami Dade Homeless Trust also partners with organizations such as Jackson Health
Systems, Camillus Health Concern, Community Health of South Florida, and the Veterans Affairs
Administration to provide primary care, behavioral health, career, and other essential services.

During the program year, the City will continue to:
• Improve coordination between mental health, physical health, and criminal justice systems to
identify people at risk of homelessness and link them with supports to prevent them from
becoming literally homeless after discharge.
• Work with the local and state Department of Children Services and support them in their effort
to expand services for youth existing foster care.
• Assist in the identification of available prevention programs and development of a gaps analysis
that allows us to create a homeless prevention plan in the coming years.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.2200)
Introduction:
Market data and stakeholder input both suggest a tight housing market in the City, with low vacancy rates
and increasing housing costs. While the market depends largely on the private sector to provide housing,
there are roles the City and others can play through policy and regulation that may encourage greater
private investment in new housing development in the City.
Several aspects of the City's zoning code could potentially have a negative effect on housing development.
For example, the City may want to consider adopting means to allow more flexibility in density and
affordable housing development by carving out additional residential zoning districts or subdistricts that
allow for a greater mix of housing types, lower minimum lot sizes, and higher multifamily density, and
other alternatives such as relaxing the infill residential development standards, providing for cluster
developments, density blending, and transfer of development rights in appropriate locations. Permitting
or incentivizing conversion of single-family dwellings in high opportunity intown neighborhoods to two-
family, 3-family, or multifamily dwellings on large lots also is a strategic way to address the need for more
density and infill development in established neighborhoods.
Moreover, the City's land use regulations could go beyond just meeting the minimum FHA standards and
affirmatively further and incentivize the development of affordable housing with inclusionary zoning
policies. These zoning tools could potentially allow for more supply of housing, which helps put
downward pressure on rental and sale prices, so that moderate and low-income families have access to
those neighborhoods and all the congruent benefits that come with higher opportunity areas such as
access to jobs, better schools, access to transportation, and access to cultural amenities and public
accommodations.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City's Analysis of Impediment noted multiple factors, including governmental policies and actions to
expand affordable housing options in exclusive neighborhoods by exploring inclusionary zoning strategies.
Other factors also include:
- Providing fair housing training at housing related workshops, to City's governing body and to all
employees.
- Support and fund pre- and post -purchase counseling and down payment and closing cost
assistance mechanisms for residents.
- Support and monitor the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach's on -going effort to comply
with Section 504 requirements to significantly increase the quality and quantity of accessible

AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
This section details the City's actions planned to ensure safe and affordable housing for its residents, along
with plans to meet underserved needs, reduce poverty, develop institutional structure, and enhance
coordination between public and private sector housing and community development agencies.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City, in collaboration with community partners, will support low- and moderate -income residents by
addressing underserved needs, including employment services, childcare, health services, substance
abuse counseling and treatment, educational programs, services for senior citizens, services for
individuals experiencing homelessness, and fair housing training.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to support and preserve affordable housing by using CDBG, HOME, and SHIP funds
for owner -occupied rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer programs. The City will also seek additional
funding sources and partnerships to develop affordable housing and maximize public resources.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
The City will continue to implement countermeasures to minimize exposure of lead -based paint hazards
found in existing housing built prior to 1978 through the City administered housing program. The City will
provide all rehab clients and potential clients with the "Lead -Based Paint" pamphlet that describes
hazards of lead -based paint. Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 35, all rental and homeowner dwelling units that
wish to receive federal assistance and were built prior to 1978 are tested for lead -based paint. (These
tests consist of visual inspections, lead screens, and full assessments. Additionally, when properties test
positive for LPB hazards, interim controls are performed, and LBP clearances are provided.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
The City implements a range of initiatives throughout the year to reduce the number of families living in
poverty and to promote self-sufficiency. Programs funded through Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and/or HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) include youth programs, senior
assistance programs, tenant -based rental assistance, and emergency services such as rent, mortgage, and
utility assistance. The City's anti -poverty strategy is designed to support all low-income households in
improving their economic status and maintaining income levels above the poverty threshold.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
City staff works year-round to strengthen institutional capacity within the City and among partner
agencies. Staff provides technical assistance on federal grant management, including Davis -Bacon

requirements, financial management, and related procedures. Staff also maintains ongoing contact with
partner agencies and offers referrals for funding and training opportunities as needed.
During the next Consolidated Plan period, the City's Office of Housing & Community Services will continue
to support nonprofit and social service providers, the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach, and
other community organizations by providing training and technical assistance to subrecipients. The City
will also streamline the procurement process and ensure HOME funds are reserved for affordable housing
development.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City maintains a strong commitment to community collaborations and has established partnerships
with multiple service providers to achieve the objective of delivering affordable, safe, and decent housing.
These collaborative efforts have enabled the City, public agencies, and the Miami Beach Service
Partnership to more effectively address the needs of underserved residents. The City will continue to
advance its initiative to leverage funding, thereby expanding opportunities for low- and moderate -income
residents to access essential services and affordable housing options.
