ANALYSIS
On May 16, 2003, Barry University requested a Certification of Consistency with the City's
Consolidated Plan as part of an application for funds from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD). Barry University is submitting a grant application to U.S.
HUD for $599,000, over a three-year period, from the Hispanic-Serving Institutions
Assisting Communities Grant (HSIAC) Program, which is administered by HUD's Office of
University Partnerships. The purpose of the HSIAC Program is to assist Hispanic-serving
institutions of higher education expand their role and effectiveness in addressing
community development needs in their localities. Pursuant to the HSIAC grant guidelines,
applicants must be accredited and degree-granting public or private not-for-profit
institutions of higher education with at least 25 percent or more total undergraduate
Hispanic full-time equivalent student enrollment.
Specifically this grant will be used to integrate the students, staff and resources of Barry
University with community-based providers serving the North Beach area in Miami Beach.
Community based organizations currently partnering with Barry University include, but are
not limited to, Ayuda, Inc., Jewish Community Services of South Florida, UNIDAD, Miami
Beach Community Health Center and Housing Authority of Miami Beach. However, Barry
University will continue to meet with North Beach community-based providers to encourage
and promote additional partnerships that will enhance the program.
Some of the activities proposed by the University include:
· Providing professional development training to community partners addressing:
customer service, resource development, client assessment, time management,
and other topics;
· Collaborating with community partners to present monthly public workshops
and/or outreach efforts to specific populations focusing on health care access,
lead-based paint poisoning, affordable housing and other topics of concern to
residents;
· Providing counseling services to area schools including Biscayne Elementary
and Nautilus Middle;
· Providing Americorps and University field placements to assist the City's Office
of Children's Affairs, Office of Elder Affairs and Office of Homeless Services with
outreach efforts;
· Providing remediation services for learning disabled students at Biscayne
Elementary on Saturdays at the Log Cabin Training Center;
· Providing agency assessments and evaluations for participating partners; and
· Providing $200,000 of capital improvements to the City of Miami Beach for ADA
and programming-related improvements for the developmentally disabled at the
Log Cabin Training Center.
U.S. HUD requires that applicants for funding obtain and submit a Certification of
Consistency with the Consolidated Plan from the entitlement jurisdiction where the activity
is to be located for each application. 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 Administration has reviewed the documentation submitted by Barry University
describing the proposed activities and has concluded that these activities are consistent
with the City's Consolidated Plan. The Consolidated Plan identifies long term objectives in
Chapter 4, "Five Year Strategy". Under the Non-Housing Community Development
Strategy, page 61, the Plan states: "...[t]he increase in the Hispanic population
has.., resulted in the need for new or increased programs and services due to the language
and cultural differences present in a multi-cultural society...particularly evident in North
Beach." The Plan also identifies improvements to public facilities and public services as
high priorities.
The Administration recommends adoption of the attached 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 Barry
University to utilize funds provided directly by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
