of housing for income-eligible elderly tenants. The proposed location is a vacant, gutted
building called the Jefferson Apartment Building, at 542 Jefferson Avenue.
MSDC is submitting a request to U.S. HUD for funding under the Section 202, "Supportive
Housing for the Elderly" Program. U.S. HUD requires that applicants to the Section 202
Program obtain and submit a "Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan"

to U.S. HUD for funding under the Section 202 Program was September 6, 1996, therefore

the City. The application included a letter from the City Manager indicating that the
Certification of Consistency would be presented for review and approval at the first

ANAL YSIS:
Following acquisition and rehabilitation, MBDC will own and operate the building as a

issuance of a Certification of Consistency with the City's Consolidated Plan for a proposed
project by Miami Beach Development Corporation, to acquire, rehabilitate and operate
approximately 28 units of affordable rental housing for the elderly, at the Jefferson
