ANALYSIS
On January 27, 2011, the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach (HACMB) requested a
Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan for their Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2011.
HACMB submits documents to U.S. HUD annually to enable them to continue receiving federal funding
for their housing programs. HACMB is required by the Public Housing Reform Act of 1998, to submit a
Five -Year and Annual Plan.
As part of the Consolidated Plan, U.S. HUD requires that housing authorities obtain and submit a
Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan from the entitlement jurisdiction where they
operate. In accordance with the Consolidated Plan adopted by the City, each request for a Certification
of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan requires City Commission review and approval.
The Housing Authority's Five -Year and Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2011 includes a Capital Fund
Program Statement, and delineates the main goals to be implemented by HACMB. The Plan identifies
an estimated $245,111 in Capital Fund repairs per year and enumerates key programs and activities for
HACMB, including:
• Increasing the supply of assisted housing by applying for additional Section 8 Rental Vouchers,
reducing public housing vacancies, leveraging affordable housing resources to create new units and
increasing home ownership through the Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program.
• Increasing assisted housing choices through outreach efforts to potential landlords, pursuing housing
resources other than public housing or Section 8 and implementing Voucher Mobility Counseling.
• Addressing housing needs of specific family types by targeting available assistance to
the elderly, continuing Elderly Designation for Rebecca Towers, affirmatively marketing to
races /ethnicities shown to have disproportionate housing needs and investing efforts and resources
to create /locate housing opportunities out of poverty areas.
To meet the mission and goals in the Five -Year Plan the HACMB is implementing the following:
• Special efforts and training to continue to be a high performing authority.
• Started construction on one new building that will provide over 30 new affordable housing units.
• Performing significant physical improvements to presently owned HACMB buildings and wisely

investing capital funds to continue the renovation and modernization of the HACMB buildings.
• To continue the development of additional supportive services for the HACMB participants, HACMB
has created a committee of area community agencies, to discuss and implement new services and
approaches to benefit the HACMB's tenants and the community in general.
• Integrating additional vouchers [175 HUD - Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD -VASH)
Vouchers and 257 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) Special Appropriation Vouchers].
The City's Consolidated Plan identifies long term objectives ( "Improvements to Housing Authority ") and a
five -year strategic plan where key goals are identified. These include the expansion of the supply of
assisted housing, improving the quality of facilities, increasing assisted housing choices, promoting self -
sufficiency and ensuring equal opportunities. Under the Public Housing Strategy, the Consolidated Plan
identifies HACMB as providing assistance to the lowest income segment of the population through
initiatives such as operating buildings designated for the elderly and administering portable rental
certificates and vouchers. HACMB is currently involved in the construction of additional, new affordable
housing for the elderly and the rehabilitation of an existing multi - family dwelling
