ANALYSIS
The week of April 25 through April 30, 2011 has been designated as National Community
Development Week by the National Community Development Association to celebrate the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
The CDBG program has as its primary objective the development of viable urban
communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment and expanding
economic opportunities, principally for persons of low- and moderate - income.
The City of Miami Beach receives a direct allocation of CDBG entitlement funds annually to
provide resources that develop a strong collaborative network of relationships with its
residents, and many nonprofit agencies that provide services help make possible the City's
commitment to its neighborhoods over the years. The CDBG program has had a significant
impact on the City of Miami Beach's local economy through job creation and retention,
physical redevelopment and improved local tax bases, with funds used for capital
improvement, housing, public services, commercial revitalization, and residential
rehabilitation programs.
The City recognizes that in our community and in communities throughout the nation, 37
years of CDBG program funding has developed a strong network of relationships among
local governments, residents, businesses, and non - profit organizations. If designated, the
City is planning events to help highlight some of the programs and projects that have been
possible through this funding. A Letter to Commissioners with a list of events will be
provided.

Staff recommends that the Mayor and City Commission designate the week of April 9
through April 15, 2011 as "Community Development Block Grant Week" in support of this
valued program that has made a tremendous contribution to the viability of the City's housing
stock, infrastructure, public services and economic vitality of our community; and authorizing

and further accepting future sponsorships for this purpose, subject to ratification by the
