What funds will sustain the program after this grant expires? It is impossible to determine at this time. 11 . Who will do the audit of the program? The City of Miami Beach's Internal Auditors will audit the program. 16 • Sugject: Grant Application for Community Services Trust Funds Special Attachment Page 2, Items 1 through 5 1 . The people in the target population have to budget 3/4 of their income for living expenses, which leaves only 1/4 of their income to meet food, medical and other needs. This program is designed to help with the heavy burden of financial , counseling and medical needs for people below the poverty level . The City of Miami Beach has a Social Services Division located in the blighted area of Miami Beach. It is one of several agencies which work with poverty. The State Food Stamp Program and the Dade County • Community Action Agency are others. Since they are all located in the same facility, there is frequent interaction among the three agencies. The City's Social Service Program deals in emergency basis with people who have been evicted, lost their jobs, have high prescriptions costs beyond their means, and any other emergencies reported by the City's Police Department and Citizens' Service Bureau. Social Services Division has two contractual case workers and four Senior Aides in addition to a Supervisor. It engages in outreach, re-location information and referral services. 2. The largest area of concern of people in the program service area is' that prescriptions costs are not paid by Medicare or any other program but Medicaid. Most senior citizens in the area are not on Medicaid and are still below the poverty level . They cannot afford the high prescription costs -- many of them have monthly prescriptions running from $40 to $100. They are caught on fixed incomes in the upward spiral of costs of living. 3. The target population is all of the city of Miami Beach. However it is estimated that 16,000 persons on Miami Beach have incomes of below the poverty level (established January 1 , 1980 at $3,703 if individual and $5,006 if couples) . These burdened 16,000 people will receive first priority from this program. 4. Income amount of target population ranges from $2400 to $3700 annually. Average rentals amount to about $160 a month or $1 ,920 annually. This means that from 52% to 80% of income is spent on housing. This leaves from 48% down to 20% of disposable income for food, utilities and medicine. With today's cost of living this leaves this population in an untenable situation. With rising costs these senior citizens have disastrously less disposable income each year. 5. It will provide income relief to the poverty stricken where other programs cannot help. As an example -- Food Stamps and Hot Meals Programs are restricted to food and do not cover prescriptions. Another consideration, of the many people who come to this wonderful climate to establish a new life, a large number become stranded without incomes. It is necessary to provide the needed emergency assistance. Their only other alternative is crime. • 17 t-4 GRANT APPLICATION Page 3 of 7 Local Governmental Unit Applying CITY OF MIAMI BEACH Delegate Agency ' (town, county or city) • Program Title AID TO THE INDIGENT Complete a separate page 3 for each program activity •A.

Prescriptions Miami Beach Social Service has been and is planning to assist those persons who are medically indigent and who are not covered by Medicaid. It is estimated, • on the basis of last year's experience and the fact that we now have a medical center for indigent persons on Miami Beach, that there will be a need for a minimum of 700 prescriptions per month. This will be done by determining the medical indigency of persons in accordance with Social Services and Health System Agency guidelines. The total cost for the year for this program $10,000. 2. Direct Cash Grants or Emergency Food Orders Checks up to the amount of $25.00 have been and will be issued to persons who have dire emergencies that cannot be assisted by any other program. For example, many employable people find themselves without resources and unable to turn to County Welfare because of their employability. In other instances we find that people are unable to pay for their food stamps and are in need of temporary assistance for this purpose. Another example concerns people who must get to a hospital or welfare department immediately and given cash grants for this purpose. The total yearly cost for this program $ 5,714. 3. Emergency Housing. During the course of the year we find 700 people who are either sleeping on the beaches, wandering about without knowing where they live, emergency evictions, etc. The City of Miami Beach has a contract to pay hotels on a per diem basis. The total yearly cost for this program $10,000. The influx of refugees to this area (Russians, Haitians, Cubans, Nicaraguans) has increased the costs of these programs and we don't know how long this will continue. The monies for this program have already been depleted. With the creation of a Minority Outreach Program funded by Community Development, we expect a large number of people to participate in our program that were not participating before. The job of the Minority Outreach will be to let the community know of the services that we have available. We are aware that certain segments of the community have not been taking advantage of our services and we feel •that this Minority Outreach will reach those people and that they will come to us for services. 2a • GRANT APPLICATION Page 5 of 7 • • Local Government Unit Applying: Delegate Agency: • • • CASH AND IN-KIND MATCH • I.
