On May 5, 2003, Volunteers of America National Services requested a Certification of

Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Eldedy Program. The grant is to be used to
develop a 42-unit housing facility for income-eligible elderly to be located at 1231-1251 17th
Street. The U.S. HUD application deadline for the Section 202 Supportive Housing funding
is June 13, 2003.
This application from Volunteers of America National Services is made directly to U.S.
HUD for funds to construct a 42-unit development on property owned by the Housing
Authority of the City of Miami Beach (HACOMB). If funded, Volunteers of America National
Services will enter into a long-term lease with the Housing Authority for the land.
U.S. HUD requires that applicants for funding obtain and submit a Certification of
Consistency with the Consolidated Plan from the entitlement jurisdiction where the activity
is to be located for each application. In accordance with the adopted City of Miami Beach
Consolidated Plan, each request for a Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated

Volunteers of America National Services, a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax exempt
organization, was established for the purpose of providing services to individuals and
families in need of assistance. Volunteers of America National Services has more than
13,000 federally assisted apartments for Iow-income families, elderly, and persons with
disabilities, and celebrated its 100th anniversary seven years ago.

consistent with the City's Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan identifies long term
objectives in Chapter 4, "Five Year Strategy". Under "Housing Strategy", the Housing
Needs table on page 53, identifies Housing for the Elderly as a High Priority.
