PASSED AND ADOPTED this 18th day of January, 1989 MAYOR ATTEST: */g)A�� �ue 4,- FORM APPROVED CITY CLERK LEG L DEP 9F . RWP/slr CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM FISCAL YEAR 1989 ALLOCATION PROGRAM DESCRIPTION JANUARY 3, 1989 1) PROGRAM ACTIVITIES The existing Rental Rehabilitation Program uses the discounted interest subsidy method, to write down the costs associated with the financing of the rehabilitation of multi-family buildings. It presently offers fixed interest rates at four (4%) percent. Funding allocated for Miami Beach under this program for FY 1989 amounts to $327 , 000. The City estimates, based on data obtained from previous projects, that these funds will rehabilitate 40-50 units contained in three to five buildings. 2) NEIGHBORHOOD SELECTION Rental Rehabilitation Proposals will be accepted from the following Census Tracts: 39 . 01, 39 . 02 , 39 . 05, 40, 41. 01, 42 , 43 and 44 . An evaluation of the median incomes and average rents within these Census Tracts has revealed that rents are generally affordable to neighborhood residents. Also, median incomes within these areas do not exceed 80% of the median income of the Miami-Hialeah MSA. Also contributing to the conclusion that the selected neighborhoods will remain at least stable as the market area for a five-year period, are the following current conditions and characteristics of the housing stock: 1. Housing conditions in the selected areas are generally homogeneous in terms of the percentage of the housing stock that is renter occupied, the age of housing, and types of construction. 2 . Vacancy rates have remained relatively high, which indicates a slackened demand for rental housing, and would allow demand to increase without increasing rents. 3 . The rate of new rental housing construction has fallen off considerably since the 1980-81 period. The above conditions are not expected to change significantly on a wide scale within the near future. Thus, rents within the selected neighborhoods are not expected to change more rapidly than surrounding areas. 3) LOWER INCOME BENEFIT In order to ensure that at least 70% of the Rental Rehabilitation Grant Amount will be used for the benefit of lower income families, the following will be done: a) Tenant information The applicant will be required to provide tenant income and rent verification forms. The City will review tenant information and determine eligibility requirements for lower income families. It will also establish how many families wish to remain in the building after rehabilitation. As a requirement to further process a proposal, the number of families with incomes above the lower income level and wishing to remain in the building, must be less than 30% of the number of units after rehabilitation. b) Marketing of units The applicant is required to develop and provide a market strategy to attract eligible lower income persons. Initial occupancy of units after rehabilitation must be at least 70% of lower income families. c) Tenant assistance policy As part of a tenant assistance policy, relocation benefits are provided to permanently displaced lower income families. If an eligible family wishes to move into a vacant unit, and Section 8 assistance is not available, then a lump sum payment is made to the tenant. This cash payment will assist in off-setting the difference between the rent and the tenant's level of affordability. A specific tenant assistance policy has been developed by the City, which defines how relocation benefits will be provided. 4) USE OF RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANTS FOR HOUSING FOR FAMILIES 4 . 1 Request for waiver of the use of 70% of funds for the rehabilitation two or more bedrooms On March 1, 1988, HUD approved a request by the City for a waiver of the provisions of Section 511. 10 (k) of the program regulations, which states that 70 percent of the grant amount must be used for units containing two or more bedrooms. That requirement has now been reduced to 30 percent (30%) of the RRP funds for such units. We are hereby requesting that the above waiver for 30 percent (30%) of the RRP funds also be applicable to FY 1989 program funds. 4 . 2 Provision of units for families requiring three or more bedroom units a) Efforts will be made to identify specific buildings in need of rehabilitation that have units containing three bedrooms. b) Contacts with local property owners and developers are used to communicate the need and priority for rehabilitation proposals for buildings with units of three bedrooms. c) If a satisfactory result cannot be achieved after the above efforts have been made, individual proposals may be evaluated to determine the feasibility of converting existing efficiency or one bedroom units to three bedroom units. 5) USE OF RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANTS FOR UNITS IN SUBSTANDARD CONDITION THAT ARE OCCUPIED BY VERY LOW INCOME FAMILIES a) In the review of proposals for rental rehabilitation funding, information will be obtained regarding the household characteristics of buildings proposed to be rehabilitated. If occupied by very low income families, this factor will be considered in the selection of proposals that best meet program objectives. b) It is also anticipated that efforts described in Part 2 of this Program Description, which are aimed at obtaining proposals for buildings with units containing two or more bedrooms, will also contribute toward the objective of rehabilitating units occupied by very low income families. 6) SELECTION OF PROPOSALS Under the City's Rental Rehabilitation Program, approval and selection of proposals are made by a Loan Review Commitee. This committee, appointed by the City Commission, is comprised of three representatives from private lending institutions and two City representatives. Ex-officio (non-voting) members consist of a citizen representative and the Community Development Director. A selection criteria and point system for evaluating rehabilitation proposals was developed, and takes into consideration such elements as: a) Benefit to low and moderate income persons: percentage of units and number of units made available to them; b) Displacement or temporary relocation: negative points are given for each relocation case; c) Leveraging objective analysis: equity provided, private investment, additional funding, subsidy required; d) Priority for units in substandard condition which are occupied by very low income families; and e) Priority for rehabilitation of projects containing units of two or more bedrooms, and using a large percentage of the subsidy amount for these units, compared to other proposals. Based on the above point system, the information provided in the application form, and additional documentation, each proposal is then evaluated by the Loan Review Committee. 7) FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY Under the City's Rental Rehabilitation Program, funds are used to reduce the interest rate on a loan offered by a lending institution, to an agreed 4%. Once a project is selected for participation in the program, the applicant must apply to a lender for the loan and obtain a letter of commitment. Loan closing is established by the City and the Lender, at which time a subsidy agreement is executed by the parties. After closing, procedures are followed by the lender, with the City monitoring for compliance with federal regulations. Interest subsidy funds are disbursed during the construction phase. 8) NEIGHBORHOOD PRESERVATION The rehabilitation and reuse of existing private rental properties is an integral part of neighborhood preservation. In the past, rehabilitation programs did not afford governments the flexibility needed to specifically target grant resources in neighborhoods with the most critical housing needs. The Rental Rehabilitation Program achieves such by encouraging public and private partnerships that can increase the supply of decent, affordable rental housing for lower income tenants, while preserving existing housing stock and revitalizing neighborhood preservation. This program has a positive effect on neighborhood preservation by stimulating cost-effective rehabilitation of substandard units thus serving as a catalyst to encourage neighboring property owners to renovate their existing housing stock. 9) SCHEDULE FOR COMMITTING RENTAL REHABILITATION GRANT AMOUNTS As indicated in Part 1 of this Program Description, it is proposed that 40-50 units contained in three to five buildings will be rehabilitated with FY 1989 funds. The following schedule is proposed to be followed to commit the funds: 1st quarter ---- 2nd quarter 25 percent 3rd quarter 60 percent 4th quarter 100 percent 10) NEED FOR RENTAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE Not applicable: the City of Miami Beach will accept all certificates and/or vouchers as specified by Section 511. 40 of the Rental Rehabilitation Program regulations. 11) STATEMENT OF POLICY OF NONDISCRIMINATION, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND AFFIRMATIVE MARKETING UNDER THE RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM 11. 1 Nondiscrimination and equal opportunity It shall be the policy of the City of Miami Beach to take all steps reasonable and necessary to secure the nationwide goal of attaining equal and fair housing opportunities.
