On December 20,2000, the City adopted Resolution No. 2000-24214 authorizing the Mayor and
City Clerk to enter into an Agreement with the Salvation Army for $110,000 for the provision of
emergency shelter beds with case management services. The implementation of the Agreement was
delayed administratively by the Salvation Army, resulting in approximately $30,000 from FY
2000/2001 Resort Tax being available at the end of the contract term.
The Administration considers that the continuation of this project is of vital importance to the well
being of the community and has identified an additional $50,000 from the FY 2000-2001 General
Fund (City Manager's Discretionary Funds), $35,000 from FY 1999/2000 North Beach Quality of
Life funds, together with the unspent $30,000 from FY 2000/2001 Resort Tax for the Salvation

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
SEPTEMBER 20, 2001
PAGE 2
This Amendment is a routine administrative procedure that will extend the Agreement's expiration
date to September 30, 2002. This action will allow formerly homeless Miami Beach individuals and
families currently engaged in the continuum of care system to continue receiving services. It will
also allow for other Miami Beach individuals suffering from homelessness to receive assistance.
The Police Department Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) has found the occupancy of the City's
contracted beds at the Salvation Army to be at or near 100% on a daily basis. This indicates a strong
need to continue this contract with the Salvation Army for emergency shelter beds.
The current contract with the Salvation Army provides the City with the necessary resources to allow
Miami Beach homeless to avail themselves of continuum of care services. The Continuum of Care
is a model based on the understanding that homelessness is not caused merely by a lack of shelter,
but involves a variety of underlying, unmet needs - physical, economic, and social. The Continuum
is a coordinated community-based process that provides outreach and assessment, emergency shelter
as an alternative to the streets, transitional housing with appropriate supportive services (such as job
training/placement, childcare, substance abuse treatment, mental health services), and permanent
housing.
In developing the Miami Beach Continuum of Care, the Administration has identified the need to
contract with other providers for the provision of transitional treatment housing services. In doing
so, this would allow the City to further expand the continuum of care necessary in treating the issues
of homeless persons.
The Administration has identified a total of$ll5, 775 that had been allocated to diverse homeless
assistance programs (see Exhibit A) and that is currently available to subcontract for transitional
treatment housing services. These funds will be allocated through a Request for Proposals to
homeless services and housing providers to provide transitional treatment housing services to the
Miami Beach homeless community.
The Administration recommends that the City extend the expiration date of the Agreement with the
Salvation Army and authorize the Administration to develop a Request for Proposals for Transitional
Treatment Housing Services to expand the City of Miami Beach Continuum of Care.
