APPROVAL.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends adopting the Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The State Housing Initiatives Partnership Program (SHIP), administered through the Florida
Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), was established in 1992 by the William E. Sadowski
Affordable Housing Act to stimulate the production of affordable housing statewide. SHIP
Program funds are derived from documentary stamp levies on real estate transactions and held
in the SHIP Program Trust Fund. Annually, FHFC allocates SHIP program funds among
entitlement communities on a formula basis. All entitlement jurisdictions must have an approved
Local Housing Assistance Plan ("LHAP") that describes the expenditure plan for housing
strategies for the next three (3)years,from 2022 thru 2025.
SHIP program funds serve to increase access to affordable housing for income-eligible
participants. The LHAP is intended to increase the availability of affordable residential units by
combining local resources and cost-saving measures into a local housing partnership using
public and private funds to reduce the cost of housing.
The LHAP must be approved by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC), the
Mayor and City Commission, and the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC) by July 1,
2022 to implement the new strategies by October 1 of the same year. The City's draft FY 22-25
Page 315 of 1232
LHAP was reviewed and approved by the AHAC on March 15, 2022. On April 6, 2022, the
Mayor and City Commission approved the LHAP for submission to the FHFC via Resolution
No. 2022-32096. Subsequently, the City submitted the Plan for review and approval to the
FHFC's SHIP Review Committee. The FHFC conditionally approved the Plan, contingent upon
the incorporation of requested revisions before the final submission deadline. The
Administration further reviewed various sections in the Plan for consistency, including the New
Construction housing strategy and the current equity sharing policy for first time homebuyers.
ANALYSIS
The Administration is proposing to continue utilizing strategies for the broadest range of income-
eligible households. The Administration is proposing the adoption of the following strategies in
the FY22-25 LHAP:
A. Purchase Assistance with Rehab
B. Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation
C. Foreclosure Prevention
D. New Construction
E. Rental Development
F. Disaster Repair
Following the receipt of the SHIP Review Committee's comments, the Administration
requested technical assistance from the Florida Housing Coalition to ensure the new
construction strategy was in compliance with FHFC standards. The Administration recommends
incorporating the changes to define the strategy as the following:
Summary: To develop homeownership opportunities to assist eligible buyers to purchase
affordable housing in Miami Beach. Funds will be provided to developers to be used to finance
the costs associated with site acquisition/development, and hard and soft construction costs.
The property must be sold to an income-eligible homebuyer. Upon sale, the benefit of the SHI P
Program funding will be passed on as down payment assistance, closing costs and gap
financing to the homebuyer."
The updated language will provide further clarification to possible applicants during the Request
for Proposal process. The City has not implemented the strategy thus far, as all prior funding
has been committed to the Purchase Assistance with Rehab and Owner-Occupied Rehab
strategy. The City currently has over 80 persons on the waitlist for first time homebuyer
assistance and six(6)persons for the Owner-Occupied strategy.
Additionally, the Administration sought technical assistance for the equity sharing provision
related to the Purchase Assistance with Rehabilitation housing strategy, also known as the First-
Time Homebuyer Program. The Florida Housing Coalition provided examples from three
different municipalities that have tiered approaches to their equity sharing provision.
The City's current equity sharing policy in the LHAP and the loan documents states: if the sale,
conveyance or transfer occurs between the first and fifth year, the City shall be paid a
percentage of the profit, based upon the percentage of the City's contribution to the purchase of
the Premises; to wit: if the sales price for the Premises was $100,000 and the City provided a
$50,000 mortgage, the City shall also be paid 50% of the profit; If the sale, conveyance or
transfer occurs between the sixth and tenth year, the City shall be paid fifty percent(50%)of the
profit; and if the sale, conveyance or transfer occurs between the eleventh and fifteenth year,the
City shall be paid twenty-five percent(25%)of the profit. The profit is defined as the sales price
at the time of the sale, or fair market value (in the case of a conveyance or transfer), minus the
sales price of the Premises at the time the homeowner acquired it with the assistance of the
SHIP funds. If the homeowner had equity in the property before the City's awarded funds, the
Page 316 of 1232
City will prorate the rate based on the City's contribution. Fair Market Value shall be determined
pursuant to an appraisal, prepared by an appraiser who is licensed in the State of Florida, which
shall be procured by the City and paid by the Owner.
Based on the information provided, the Administration does not recommend further reductions
to the equity sharing policy and recommends amending the language in the LHAP relating to the
period between the sixth and tenth year as follows:
"If the sale, conveyance or transfer occurs between the sixth and tenth year, the City shall be
paid forty percent(40%) of the profit; and if the sale, conveyance or transfer occurs between
the eleventh and fifteenth year,the City shall be paid twenty-five percent(25%)of the profit."
The revised language would provide a tiered approach, yet it will continue to disincentivize
homebuyers from leaving their unit of residence before fifteen (15) years. Once the LHAP is
approved by the Mayor and City Commission, City Administration will submit the final LHAP to
the FHFC by July 1, 2022.

O. Monitoring and First Right of Refusal: In the case of rental housing,the staff and any entity that has
administrative authority for implementing the local housing assistance plan assisting rental developments,
shall annually monitor and determine tenant eligibility or,to the extent another governmental entity provides
periodic monitoring and determination, a municipality,county,or local housing financing authority may rely
on such monitoring and determination of tenant eligibility. However,any loan or grant in the original amount
of$10,000 or less shall not be subject to this annual monitoring and determination of tenant eligibility
requirements. Tenant eligibility will be monitored annually for no less than 15 years or the term of assistance
whichever is longer unless as specified above. Eligible sponsors that offer rental housing for sale before 30
years or that have remaining mortgages funded under this program,must give a first right of refusal to eligible
nonprofit organizations for purchase at the current market value for continued occupancy by eligible persons.
P. Administrative Budget: A line-item budget is attached as Exhibit A. The city/county finds that the moneys
deposited in the local housing assistance trust fund are necessary to administer and implement the local
housing assistance plan.

eligible municipality may not exceed the 5 percent limitation on administrative costs, unless its governing
body finds,by resolution, that 5 percent of the local housing distribution plus 5 percent of program income is
insufficient to adequately pay the necessary costs of administering the local housing assistance plan."
Section 420.9075 Florida Statute and Chapter 67-37,Florida Administrative Code,further states:"The cost
of administering the program may not exceed 10 percent of the local housing distribution plus 5 percent of
program income deposited into the trust fund,except that small counties, as defined in s. 120.52(19), Florida
Statutes,and eligible municipalities receiving a local housing distribution of up to$350,000 may use up to 10
percent of program income for administrative costs."The applicable local jurisdiction has adopted the above
findings in the resolution attached as Exhibit E.
Q. Program Administration: Administration of the local housing assistance plan will be performed by:

X. Describe efforts to reduce homelessness:
The Office of Housing and Community Services is the City department responsible for the Homeless Outreach
7

[eff.Date 7/1/20211
f[OYId� HOUSIf1�
Program.As such,it has direct contact with individuals who are homeless and living in the streets,as well as
individuals/families that are facing the threat of homelessness.The City's Homeless Outreach Services
Program provides the following services:shelter beds,family reunification services, identification document
replacement services,and rent assistance to serve its homeless population. The current efforts balance
accountability,compassion and efficacy while expecting the same from those the City serves.
Our community is one of the leaders in the County in its municipal efforts to address homelessness and curb
its impacts.As one of only two municipal teams in the County,our City is the only municipality that operates a
walk-in center where the homeless population can seek services in person.The City is leading local efforts to
move away from the traditional case management model that centralizes services through a third party(not
the client)to a care coordination model that empowers clients to take charge of their lives and creates the
culture and skill-set to discourage the return to homelessness.
The City has created a comprehensive homeless strategy that emphasizes personal accountability,
intradepartmental collaboration and innovation that responds to our community's unique needs and assets
while firmly founded upon compassion,integrity and efficacy.We have:
• Increased the number of shelter beds bought by the City and engaged more shelters to ensure that we
can offer the appropriate,culturally-competent support to any homeless persons or families seeking to
end their homelessness.
• Trained our emergency shelter partners on care coordination services so that clients take ownership of
their personal success while having the supports and knowledge at their disposal to leave homelessness
with an expectation—and the skills—not to return to the streets.
• The City is the only outreach team in the County that employs the homeless it places in shelter to serve as
ambassadors to engage the homeless that remain on the streets.Through this program piloted in FY
16/17,the homeless are able to strengthen their engagement skills and transition back into an
employment culture while looking for full-time employment and earning much-needed money to buy
interview clothes and personal items. In turn,the City obtains the insight and knowledge base familiar
with living in the streets and identifies the places and mindsets of those who remain for us to engage.This
win/win model has also succeeded in shortening the length of time between placement in shelter and the
securing of permanent employment.
• Encouraged intradepartmental collaboration between Police and the Homeless Outreach Services
Program so that the first approach to those who are breaking our laws because they see themselves as
homeless is to offer them shelter and the opportunity to end their homelessness--rather than encourage
a passive acceptance of their circumstances as an intractable fate.
• The Lazarus Project is a specialized,multi-disciplinary mobile outreach team that works to engage,assess,
treat,and secure supportive permanent housing for service-resistant chronically homeless individuals
who are severely mentally ill.
The City has entered into an agreement with the Miami Dade County Homeless Trust to subcontract a
comprehensive outreach team that provides specialized care for homeless individuals that suffer from
substance abuse and/or co-occurring disorders.
