ANALYSIS
On February 21, 2001, the City of Miami Beach (City) adopted resolution 2001-24258,
amending the One Year Action Plans for Fiscal Years 1997/98, 1998/99, and 2000/01, to
reallocate $300,000 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to the Miami
Beach Community Development Corporation (MBCDC) for an Owner Occupied Housing
Rehabilitation Program. The MBCDC agreed to assist a minimum of 17 income-eligible
homeowners to rehabilitate their homes. At present, MBCDC has successfully completed
the rehabilitation of 19 homes and utilized the funding initially committed to the program. In
addition, there are currently 25 applicants on a waiting list seeking assistance through this
program.
The City's adopted One-Year Action Plan for Federal Funds for Fiscal Years 2001/02 and
2002/03 allocated CDBG Program funds to rehabilitate owner occupied housing of income-
eligible homeowners. On March 10, 2003, the City issued a Notice of Funding Availability
(NOFA) in the amount of $300,000 of CDBG funds from fiscal years 2001/02 and 2002/03
seeking qualified entities to operate a scattered-site Owner Occupied Housing
Rehabilitation Program.
The City requested applications from qualified not-for-profit or for-profit housing providers
that have the required experience and organizational capability to coordinate a program to
process eligible homeowners, evaluate the need for rehabilitation of participating owner
occupied homes, and supervise the completion of such rehabilitation work.
The City received one proposal from the Miami Beach Community Development
Corporation (MBCDC) for $300,000 of CDBG funds to continue the operation of an Owner
Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program. The MBCDC Owner Occupied Housing
Rehabilitation Program assists homeowners with a gross income of up to 80 percent of
area median income (currently $27,000 for a family of one) to bring their property up to
decent, safe and sanitary housing standards, and correct all existing code violations. The
maximum financial assistance may not exceed $15,000 per home. Homes receiving
financial assistance must be able to meet or exceed the decent, safe and sanitary housing
standard after rehabilitation, in accordance with the South Florida Building Code, the
Miami-Dade County Building code, and the Miami Beach Code.
A five (5) year lien is placed on the property to recapture funds provided by the City in the
event of a default or sale. Every year on the anniversary of the completion of repairs, the
amount of the lien is reduced twenty (20) percent. After five (5) years, if the property has
been maintained in accordance with the Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program
Guidelines, the full amount of the lien is released by the City.
Homeowners who participate in the Program are required to be the owner and occupant of
their home. Participants are required to have resided at their property for 180 consecutive
days prior to applying for said funds and shall not have received assistance for housing
rehabilitation from the City during the previous five (5) years. The appraised value of the
property may not exceed the maximum purchase price for a home as set forth by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) (currently $188,860).
In accordance with the terms of the NOFA, the staff reviewed the proposal and submitted it
to the Loan Review Committee (LRC). On May 16, 2003, the LRC reviewed the proposal
and recommended to the Mayor and City Commission that the MBCDC be funded in the
amount of $300,000 in CDBG funds from fiscal years 2001/02 and 2002/03 to continue
operating a successful Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program and to assist a
minimum of 17 income-eligible homeowners. Consistent with the initial funding provided
for this program, a developer fee of 12 percent of the $15,000 rehabilitation cost allowed
per home is included in the agreement.
The administration recommends that the Mayor and City Clerk execute the attached
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Agreement with the Miami Beach
Community Development Corporation (MBCDC), providing CDBG funds in the amount of
$300,000 from fiscal years 2001/02, and 2002/03, to continue funding an Owner Occupied
Housing Rehabilitation Program to assist a minimum of 17 income-eligible homeowners to
irbilitate their homes.
