ALLOCATION OF F SCAL YEAR 1990 FUNDS TO THE CITY, UNDER THE
SUBJECT: RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM @ $279,000
The Rental Rehabilitation Program was enacted by Congress on
November 30, 1983 . The Program is designed to assure an adequate
supply of standard housing affordable to low and moderate income
tenants. It increases the supply of private market rental
housing available to low and moderate income tenants by
providing government funds to rehabilitate existing units.
Within the basic framework of the program, local governments
have the flexibility to design and operate programs unique to
their needs.
On March 8, 1990, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) published a notice of formula allocations for
Fiscal Year 1990, and deadlines for submission of Program
Descriptions. Under the formula, the City of Miami Beach will
receive $279, 000. As a condition for receiving the funds, the
City has to prepare and submit a Program Description to HUD for
its approval.
The City has established operating procedures for the continued
implementation of this program, and previous allocations from
HUD have already been expended and/or committed.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends adoption of the attached
Resolution which approves the Program Description for the Rental
Rehabilitation Program and, after final Commission action, that
the City Manager be authorized to submit the application to the
U.S. Department of HUD. Upon approval by HUD, the Mayor and
City Clerk are to be authorized to execute, on behalf of the
City, the Subsidy Agreements and related documents, and funds
are to be appropriated, as necessary, to fund the projects.
The Administration also requests permission to make necessary
adjustments to the narrative, and/or technical corrections which
may be identified during the review process, and which do not
significantly affect the approved Program Description or the
intent of the program.

CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
RENTAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
FISCAL YEAR 1990 ALLOCATION
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
APRIL 4, 1990
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 1990 amounts to$279,000. The CitY estimates, based
on data obtained from previous projects, that these funds will rehabilitate 40-50 units contained in two to four
buildings.
2) NEIGHBORHOOD SELECTION
Rental Rehabilitation Proposals will be accepted from the following Census Tracts: 39.01, 39.02, 39.05, 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 PMSA.
Also contributing to the conclusion that the selected neighborhoods will remain at least as stable as the market area
for a five-year period, are the following current conditions and characteristics of the housing stock:
a) 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.
b) Vacancy rates have remained relatively high, which indicates a slackened demand for rental housing, and
would allow demand to increase without increasing rents.
c) The rate of new rental housing construction has fallen off considerably since the 1980-81P eriod.
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 in the 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
If a building is occupied,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, and
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 that wish 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 incomeP ersons.
Page 1
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 families. If
an eligible family wishes to move, and Section 8 assistance is not available, then a lump sum payment may
be made to the tenant. This cash payment will assist in off-setting the difference between the rent and what
the tenant can afford.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
a) Request for waiver of the use of 70% of funds for 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 1990 program funds.
b) Provision of units for families requiring three or more bedroom units
(1) Efforts will be made to identify specific buildings in need of rehabilitation that have units containing three
bedrooms.
(2) 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.
(3) 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
9 9
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
Page 2
Committee. This committee, appointed by the City Commission, is comprised of three representatives from private
lending institutions and two City representatives.
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 two to four buildings
will be rehabilitated with FY 1990 funds.
Page 3
The following schedule is proposed to be followed to commit the funds:
1st quarter 30 percent
2nd quarter 70 percent
3rd 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.
