SUBJECT: EMERGENCY S ELTER GRANT PROGRAM SUBMISSION TO THE U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF HUD
On July 22, 1987, President Reagan signed into law the Stuart B. McKinney Homeless
Assistance Act (PL 100-77), which is intended to provide urgently needed assistance to
protect and improve the lives of the homeless. In response to the President's action,
the City Commission authorized the submission of a Comprehensive Homeless
Assistance Plan (CHAP) on September 16, 1987, through Resolution Number 87-18980.
Under one component of this Plan, the Emergency Shelter Grant Program, the City of
Miami Beach was allocated $33,000 for the rehabilitation and/or operation of an
emergency shelter. Since no feasible project can be properly undertaken with such a
small amount of funding, the Administration is working in conjunction with Metro-
Dade County's Shelter Grant allocation to operate and rehabilitate the Miami Rescue
Mission, located at 2250 N.W. 1st Avenue, Miami, with the stipulation that priority
will be given to the housing needs of women and children in Miami Beach who have
been displaced by the closing of unsafe buildings through code enforcement actions, or
other City actions.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Manager be authorized and directed to
submit the application for funding under the Emergency Shelter Grant Program to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by October 15, 1987.
Further, that the Administration be authorized to contractually transmit said funding
to Metro-Dade County for the operation and renovation of the Miami Rescue Mission
located within Miami, with the stipulation that Miami Beach's homeless women and
children be allowed to utilize said facility. Also, that the Administration be
authorized to make any changes and/or corrections to the application that may be
identified either by HUD or the City, and which do not substantially change the scope
or intent of such grant application.
