RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
FISCAL YEAR 1988 ALLOCATION
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
May 1, 1988
1. PROGRAM ACTIVITIES
The existing Rental Rehabilitation Program uses the discounted interest subsidy
method to write down the capital costs of financing the rehabilitation. It presently
offers fixed interest rates at four (4%) and eight (8%) percent. The higher rate applies
when refinancing of existing debts is included.
Funding allocated for Miami Beach under this program for FY 1988 amounts to
$438,000. The City estimates that these funds will rehabilitate 60-80 units contained
in three to five buildings.
2. NEIGHBORHOOD SELECTION
Rental Rehabilitation Proposals will be accepted from the following Census Tracts:
42, 43, 44, 45, 40, 41.01, 39.01, 39.02 and 39.05. An evaluation of the median incomes
and average rents within these Census Tracts has revealed that rents are generally
affordable to neighborhood residents. Also, median incomes within these areas do not
exceed 80% of the median income of the Miami-Hialeah MSA. Once proposals are
received, analysis will be undertaken at the Census block group level to confirm the
localized consistency with program eligibility criteria.
Also contributing to the conclusion that. the selected neighborhoods will remain at
least as stable as the market area for a five-year period, are the following current
conditions and characteristics of the housing stocI4):
1. Housing conditions in the selected areas are generally homogenous in terms
of the percentage of the housing stock that is renter occupied, the age of
housing, and types of construction.
2. Vacancy rates have remained relatively high, which indicates a slackened
demand for rental housing, and would allow demand to increase without
increasing rents. !,
;
3. The rate of new rental housing construction has fallen off considerably
since the 1980-81 period.
The above conditions are not expected to change significantly on a wide scale
within the near future. Thus, rents within the selected neighborhoods are not
expected to change more rapidly than surrounding areas.
3. LOWER INCOME BENEFIT
In order to ensure that at least 70% of the rental rehabilitation grant amount will be
used for the benefit of lower-income families, the following will be done:
a) Tenant Information
The applicant will be required to provide tenant income and rent
verification forms. The City will review tenant information and determine
eligibility requirements for lower-income families. It will also establish
how many families wish to remain in the building after rehabilitation.
As a requirement to further process a proposal, the number of families
with incomes above the lower-income level and wishing to remain in the
building, must be less than 30% of the number of units after rehabilitation.
b) Marketing of Units
The applicant is required to develop and provide a market strategy to
attract eligible lower-income persons. Initial occupancy. of units after
rehabilitation must be at least 70% of lower-income families.
c) Tenant Assistance Policy
As part of a tenant assistance policy, relocation benefits are provided to
permanently displaced lower-income families. If an eligible family wishes
to move into a vacant unit, and Section 8 assistance and/or vouchers are
not available, then a lump sum payment is made to the tenant. This cash
payment will assist in off-setting the difference between the rent and the
tenant's level of affordability. A specific tenant assistance policy has been
developed which defines how relocation benefits will be provided.
4. USE OF RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANTS FOR HOUSING FOR FAMILIES
4.1 Request for Waiver of the Use of 70% of Funds for the Rehabilitation of Units
Containing Two or More Bedrooms
On March 1, 1988, HUD approved a request by the City for a waiver of the provisions
of Section 511.10(k) of the program regulations, which states that 70 percent of the
grant amount must be used for units containing two or more bedrooms. That
requirement has now been reduced to 30 percent of the RRP funds for such units.
We are hereby requesting that the above waiver for 30 percent of the RRP funds be
applicable to FY 1988 funds also.
4.2 Provision of Units for Families Requiring Three or More Bedroom Units
The following efforts will continue to be made to solicit proposals to rehabilitate units
containing three bedrooms:
a) Request for proposals are placed in local newspapers specifying that a
priority will be given to proposals that call for rehabilitating buildings with
units containing three bedrooms.
b) Efforts will be made to identify specific buildings in need of rehabilitation
that have units containing three bedrooms.
c) Contacts with local property owners and developers are used to
communicate the need and priority for rehabilitation proposals for
buildings with units of three bedrooms.
d) If a satisfactory result cannot be achieved after the above efforts have
been made, individual proposals may be evaluated to determine the
feasibility of converting existing efficiency or one bedroom units to three
bedroom units.
5. USE OF RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANTS FOR UNITS IN SUBSTANDARD
CONDITION THAT ARE OCCUPIED BY VERY LOW-INCOME FAMILIES
a) In the review of proposals for rental rehabilitation funding, information
will be obtained regarding the household characteristics of buildings
proposed to be rehabilitated; if occupied by very low-income families, this
factor will be considered in the selection of proposals that best meet
program objectives.
b) It is also anticipated that efforts described in Part 2 of this Program
Description, which are aimed at obtaining proposals for buildings with units
containing two or more bedrooms, will also contribute toward the objective
of rehabilitating units occupied by very low income families.
6. SELECTION OF PROPOSALS
Under the Rental Rehabilitation Program, approval and selection of proposals is made
by the Loan Review Committee. This committee, appointed by the City Commission,
is comprised of three representatives from private lending institutions and two City
representatives. Ex-officio (non-voting) members consist of a citizen respresentative
and the Community Development Director.
A selection criteria and point system for evaluating rehabilitation proposals was
developed, and takes into consideration such elements
a) Benefit to low- and moderate-income persons: percentage of units and
number of units made available to them;
b) Displacement or temporary relocation: negative points are given for each
relocation case;
c) Leveraging objective analysis: equity provided, private investment,
additional funding, subsidy required;
d) Priority for units in substandard condition which are occupied by very low
income families; and
e) Priority for rehabilitation of projects containing units of two or more
bedrooms, and using a large percentage of the subsidy amount for these
units, compared to other proposals.
Based on the above point system, information provided in the application form, and
additional documentation, each proposal is then evaluated by the Loan Review
Committee.
7. FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY
Under the existing Rental Rehabilitation Program, funds are used to reduce the
interest rate on a loan offered by a lending institution, to an agreed 4% or 8%
effective rate. Once a project is selected for participation in the program, the
applicant must apply to a lender for the loan and obtain a letter of commitment. Loan
closing is established by the City and the lender, at which time a subsidy agreement is
executed by the parties. After closing, procedures are followed by the lending
institution, with the City monitoring for compliance with federal regulations. Interest
subsidy funds are disbursed during the construction phase.
Existing loan leveraging arrangements have been established with several lenders. The
City always welcomes new participating lenders who are willing to offer loans under
the terms and conditions of the program.
8. NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION
The rehabilitation and reuse of existing private rental properties is an integral part of
neighborhood preservation. Often, rehabilitation programs did not afford governments
the flexibility needed to specifically target grant resources in neighborhoods with the
most critical housing needs.
The Rental Rehabilitation Program achieves such by encouraging public-private
partnerships that can increase the supply of decent, affordable rental housing for
lower-income tenants, while preserving existing housing stock and revitalizing
neighborhood preservation.
The program has a positive effect on neighborhood preservation by stimulating cost-
effective rehabilitation of substandard units thus serving as a catalyst to encourage
neighboring property owners to renovate their existing housing stock.
9. SCHEDULE FOR COMMITTING RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANT AMOUNTS
As indicated in Part 1 of the Program Description, it is projected that 60-80 units
contained in three to five buildings will be rehabilitated with FY 1988 funds.
The following schedule is proposed to be followed to commit the funds:
1st quarter --
2nd quarter 25 percent
3rd quarter 60 percent
4th quarter 100 percent
10. NEED FOR RENTAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE
Not applicable. (The City of Miami Beach will accept all certificates and/or
vouchers as specified by Section 511.40 of the Rental Rehabilitation Program
Regulations.)
11. STATEMENT OF POLICY OF NONDISCRIMINATION, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
AND AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING UNDER THE RENTAL REHABILITATION
PROGRAM
11.1 Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity
It shall be the policy of the City of Miami Beach to take all steps reasonable and
necessary to secure the nationwide goal of attaining equal and fair housing
opportunities. The City shall, in all cases, be in conformance with the requirements
of:
a) The Federal Fair Housing Law which makes discrimination based on race,
color, religion, sex or national origin illegal. The City shall make every
possible effort to eliminate discrimination in housing by supporting the
concerted national effort to inform the public, property owners, and
tenants of their rights and responsibilities under Title VIII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1968.
b) Executive Order 11063 which directs all departments and agencies
p g
receiving Federal financial assistance to take all action necessary and
appropriate to prevent discrimination in housing.
c) Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which guarantees that no person
shall on the grounds of race, color or national origin be excluded from

discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial
assistance.
In enforcing such rules, regulations or orders against any property owner
found to be in violation thereof, the City shall refrain from extending
further aid under any federally-funded program until it is satisfied that the
affected owner will comply with the regulations stated herein.
In addition, the City shall make every possible effort to ensure that grant
assistance is available in conformity with the prohibitions against
discrimination and requirements of the Age Discrimination Act of 1975;
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; Executive Order 11246; and
Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968.
Consistent under the requirements of Executive Order Nos. 11625, 12432
and 12138, the City of Miami Beach shall make every reasonable effort to
encourage the use of minority and women's business enterprises in
connection with the rehabilitation of rental properties funded through this
as well as any other federal grant source. Records shall be maintained on
the extent of participation by minority and women-owned businesses,
including owners, and shall annually assess the results of such efforts to
further aid in developing methods of encouraging the use of these
businesses.
11.2 Affirmative Marketing
It shall be the policy of the City of Miami Beach to administer the Rental
Rehabilitation Program and all activities relating to housing and urban development in
a manner so as to affirmatively further the effort to promote equal and fair housing
opportunities.
The City will undertake affirmative marketing activities that inform tenants and
owners about fair housing laws in an effort to foster more diverse and vital
neighborhoods, while simultaneously making available decent, affordable housing to
minorities and families of low- and moderate-income.
The responsibility of exercising good faith efforts to provide information and
otherwise attract eligible persons from all racial, ethnic and gender groups in the
housing market area applies to both the City of Miami Beach and property owners
receiving Federal financial assistance through the Rental Rehabilitation Program. An
assessment of such efforts shall be made annually to ensure that nondiscrimination and
equal housing opportunity is being afforded to all.
11.3 Method For Informing the Public, Owners and Potential Tenants About Federal
Fair Housing Laws

availability of financial assistance through the Rental Rehabilitation
Program. This release shall be submitted to local newspapers and

completed, and quarterly thereafter, place an announcement in the "CD
Newspage" informing the public of Federal fair housing laws and the toll
free number to call if they believe that they have been discriminated
against in housing opportunities.
d) Upon request the City shall provide informational and referral assistance
to tenants and property owners regarding fair housing laws.
e) The City shall have available for tenants and property owners copies of all

the nationwide recognition of fair housing practices and adopting a
resolution establishing April as "Fair Housing Month" and announce such
through local media sources.
11.4 Affirmative Marketing Requirements for Property Owners
