The City of Miami Beach, as a recipient of federal funds from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is subject to the requirements of the Consolidated
Plan. One of the components ofthe Consolidated Plan is the development of a Continuum
of Care plan for the City. As part of its HUD-approved Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years
2005-2006, the City of Miami Beach's Continuum of Care plan includes a commitment to
participate in the Continuum of Care system coordinated by Miami-Dade County.
In an effort to help communities throughout the country fund their continuum of care
systems, HUD issues an annual Super Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) for
Homeless Continuum of Care programs. For the last six funding cycles, the Miami-Dade
County Homeless Trust has served as the lead agency in coordinating the application for
funding to HUD.
The Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for
project sponsors interested in providing, or continuing to provide, the priority housing and
services needed. The City of Miami Beach prepared and submitted an application to
Miami-Dade County under this RFA forfunding of the coordination of homeless assistance

The Office of Labor Relations would like to initiate various training programs designed at
bringing the City's five Union's and the City Administration together to function as one
entity as opposed to the "Them vs. Us" ideology that tends to plague the Public Sector.
The Office of Labor Relations has made it a priority within its mission statement to provide
the highest standard of excellence and cooperation between the City's administration and
the City's five collective bargaining units. As such, the City is seeking grant funds to
support a labor-management training program.

Attorney General, Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Grant Program to assist in funding the
Department's Domestic Violence Unit. In submitting this grant application, the Police
Department seeks to continue funding of the Domestic Violence Unit during fiscal year
2004-2005.
The Police Department's Domestic Violence Unit serves as a catalyst for victims of crime
and their families to receive effective legal and social intervention services. The Unit has
formed a unique collaborative partnership with the Dade County Bar Association, Legal Aid
Society, Safe Space, Domestic Violence Intake Unit of Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office,
Victims Services Center, and Florida Department of Children and Families. This
partnership ensures effective and holistic intervention for domestic violence victims, victims
of crimes and their children. The services provided by the Police Department's Domestic
Violence Unit include supportive counseling, crisis intervention, follow-up contact,
information and referral, criminal justice support and advocacy, emergency transportation,
emergency food vouchers, emergency lock services and assistance in filing victim's
compensation claims.

and the remaining $8,850 in matching funds provided by the City from the Police
