COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
To approve and authorize the City Manager to issue a Certification of Consistency with the City's Consolidated Plan to
Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center of Miami Beach Inc.'s Healthy Choice project, to allow it to apply for
funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), through the Miami -Dade County Homeless
Trust (Trust), to assist formerly homeless persons with housing and /or supportive services.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
To reduce the number of homeless persons in Miami Beach
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.):
Based on the 2009 Community Satisfaction Survey, 44% of residents and 32% of businesses ranked the City's ability to
address homelessness as excellent and good.
Issue:
Shall the Mayor and City Commission approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Certification of Consistency
with the City's Consolidated Plan for Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center of Miami Beach, Inc.'s Healthy
Choice project, so that they can apply for grant funding via the Super Notice of Funding Availability from U.S. HUD, through
the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust, in order to provide services to homeless and formerly homeless persons on Miami
Beach?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
U.S. HUD requires all entitlement jurisdictions (jurisdictions that receive HUD funds for housing and community
development, such as Miami Beach) to prepare and submit a "Consolidated Plan" that provides the community's goals,
objectives and priorities relating to housing and community development efforts. On July 16, 2008, the City Commission
approved the City's Five -Year Consolidated Plan; it was subsequently submitted and approved by US HUD. The current
plan expires in 2012. All applications for funding, including renewal funding, from US HUD for housing and community
development programs they administer must include a certification ( "Certification of Consistency ") that the proposed
program is consistent with the jurisdiction's approved Consolidated Plan. On October 1, 2010, the Miami -Dade County
Homeless Trust issued a Request for Applications for inclusion in the 2010 U.S. HUD Consolidated Super NOFA
application. On October 5, 2010 Douglas Gardens of Miami Beach Inc. requested a Certification of Consistency for its
Healthy Choice Project, a 12 -bed permanent housing and services program for formerly homeless persons. The proposed
project is consistent with the City's approved Consolidated Plan and has received funding in the past, but not in the last
funding cycle. Consequently, it is an established project. As such, it is recommended that the City Commission approve
and authorize the City Manager to issue a Certification of Consistency to Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health
Center of Miami Beach, Inc. for its application of funding through the Trust for its Healthy Choice project; and further
authorize the City Manager to issue any subsequent Certifications of Consistency for renewal funding from US HUD for this
particular project.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER TO ISSUE A CERTIFICATION OF CONSISTENCY WITH THE
CITY'S CONSOLIDATED PLAN TO THE MIAMI -DADE COUNTY HOMELESS

FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ANY
SUBSEQUENT CERTIFICATIONS OF CONSISTENCY WITH THE CITY'S
CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR RENEWAL APPLICATIONS OF HUD FUNDING
FOR THE AFORESAID PROJECT.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that applicants for its funding
obtain and submit a Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan (Consolidated Plan) from
the entitlement jurisdiction where the activity is to be located. The Consolidated Plan is a five (5) year
planning document required by HUD, whereby an entitlement community, through a collaborative
process, establishes a unified vision for community development and housing activities. It offers local
jurisdictions the opportunity to shape the various housing and community development programs into
effective, coordinated neighborhood and community development strategies. The Consolidated Plan is
also the means to meet the application requirements for HUD's CDBG, HOME and Homeless programs.
The City of Miami Beach Commission adopted our Consolidated Plan (Plan) on July 16, 2008; this
Consolidated Plan is in effect through September 30, 2012.
A jurisdiction's certification that an application is consistent with its Consolidated Plan means that the
proposed activities are consistent with the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan, and the location of the
proposed activity (ies) is consistent with the geographic areas specified in the Consolidated Plan. The
jurisdiction must provide the reasons for any denial when it fails to provide a Certification of
Consistency.

Certification of Consistency Memo
On October 1, 2010, the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust (Trust), as the lead applicant for homeless
funding via the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) Super Notice of Funding
Availability (SuperNOFA) process, issued a request for applications for projects to be included in the
2010 U.S. HUD Consolidated Super NOFA application being submitted by the Homeless Trust for
funding for homeless housing and services.
On October 5, 2010, Douglas Gardens of Miami Beach, Inc., requested a Certificate of Consistency
from the City for its application to the Trust for a new 12 -bed permanent housing program called Healthy
Choice, to be located at the Mayfair Residence, at 1960 Park Avenue, Miami Beach. Mayfair Residence
has been providing transitional and permanent housing for homeless persons for several years.
However, the 42 -bed Mayfair Residence lost funding in 2009 for one of its programs and has had 20
vacant beds in that facility since September 2009. Therefore, Douglas Gardens' current application for
a "new 12 -bed project" entitled Healthy Choice, to be funded from the HUD Shelter -Plus -Care program,
allows for those units to be placed back in use.
This project includes services to assist homeless persons (especially any persons that are chronically
homeless) make the transition to and sustain permanent housing and independent living. Placement
efforts will be coordinated with the City's Homeless Outreach program.
This proposed project is consistent with the City's Consolidated Plan and is eligible for funding.
CONCLUSION
The project described above is consistent with the City's Consolidated Plan, and is eligible for funding
from HUD. The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission approve and
authorize the City Manager to issue a Certification of Consistency with the City's Consolidated Plan for
Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center of Miami Beach's Application for funding for a 12-
bed Shelter Plus Care Program at the Mayfair Residence, located at 1960 Park Avenue, to allow for the
application of funding from HUD through the Trust, to provide housing and services to formerly
homeless persons; and further authorize the City Manager to issue subsequent Certifications of
Consistency for future renewal applications for this particular project.
