A RESOLUTION F THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING DADE COUNTY TO
UTILIZE THE CITY'S AllOCATION OF FUNDS UNDER THE NOTICE OF
FUNDING AVAilABILITY FOR CONTINUUM OF CARE HOMELESS
ASSISTANCE
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing Dade County to utilize the City's allocation of funds under the Notice of
Funding Availability for Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance (Super NOFA
Application) to make funds available for housing and services for homeless persons.
BACKGROUND:
Metro-Dade County, thorough the Dade County Homeless Trust, is preparing a
"consolidated application" for the Dade County Continuum of Care and Services, in order
to maximize the County's services throughout Dade County. The Notice of Funding
Availability issued by HUD established maximum amounts of funds available for counties
and municipalities and lists $829,999 available to the City of Miami Beach. Rather than
apply independently, local municipalities are "pooling resources", and Dade County will
then prepare the "consolidated application".
The application to be filed by Dade County will not include specific projects, but rather,
will allow for submission of competitive RFP's to the Homeless Trust.
This is the same process that was utilized last year, and Miami Beach benefitted from
the County's continuum of care system. Therefore, participating in this manner again
this year, is viewed as the most appropriate use of the grant funds.

ANAL YSIS:
All projects and services proposed under the application, will require either a "Section
213 Letter of Support" or a "Certificate of Consistency with the City's Consolidated Plan".

substantial commitments in these areas made in previous years. Special needs housing
can be considered on a case-by-case basis when there is community support".
Further, the Consolidated Plan indicates that "No homeless shelters are proposed for
Miami Beach....Support thorough existing providers are ranked as a priority and
represent a continuation of existing policies."
The Dade County Homeless Trust has been informed of the City's Consolidated Plan
requirements indicated above, and understands that all Proposals (RFP'S) received by
the Trust for services in Miami Beach, will be required to receive approval from the
Miami Beach City Commission in the form of either a Certificate of Consistency or
Section 213 Letter of support.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing
Dade County to utilize the City's allocation of funds under the Notice of Funding
Availability for Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance (Super NOFA Application) to
make funds available for housing and services for homeless persons throughout Dade
County.
