Apartments housing for families (12 one -bedroom units and 4 two -bedroom
units) in the South Beach neighborhood. The total project budget
is estimated at $1 million. The Housing Authority proposes using
funding from its budget for the balance.
There is $110,278 available for FY 2023 Public Services, and the applications for Public Services total
$168,036.00. Nonetheless, the Administration proposes to fully fund repeat applications, which are
established projects and consistently expend funding, and to fund new applications at a portion of the
requested funding.
Currently, the Administration is not recommending funding the application submitted by the HACMB for
the Lois Apartments. This rehabilitation project can easily take longer than a year to complete
considering the time needed for design plans, contractor procurement, permitting, and construction.
Cities that receive CDBG must use their funds in a timely manner. The City's next CDBG timely
performance test will be August 2, 2023. For example, the City must spend $538,749.00 to meet the
1.5 ratio by July 27, 2023, to comply with HUD rules. Therefore, the City must select projects for award
that can be completed quickly to ensure compliance with this requirement.
The Administration is recommending deferral of the $607,866.00 in CDBG funds for future award to a
shovel -ready project addressing Housing Affordability. The Administration will thoroughly analyze
alternative funding sources available to fund the HACMB project and altemative projects to spend the
CDBG funds quickly.

1. Introduction
The City of Miami Beach conducted significant consultation through interviews and focus groups with
citizens, municipal officials, non-profit agencies, public housing agencies, private developers,
governmental agencies, and the Continuum of Care in preparing this plan. The City also held a public
meeting prior to the development of the plan and one public meeting to review the draft priorities. These
meetings are summarized in the Citizen Participation Section of this plan.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health, and
service agencies (91.215(1)).
The Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach is the local the local public housing agency serving Miami
Beach and was consulted in the preparation of this plan. These agencies provided data on tenant and
housing choice voucher holder characteristics, waiting lists, and future plans for development. In addition
to the public housing agencies, the City consulted with other private and governmental agencies, mental
health, and service agencies was instrumental in developing priorities and the preparation of this plan.
These agencies also provided input during the charrette process.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness
The Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust (Trust) serves as the lead agency for the Miami -Dade County
Continuum of Care (CoC) structure. It is governed by the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust Board and
comprised of a 27-member, broad -based membership, including the City of Miami Beach, representing
numerous sectors of the community. The board uses recommendations from its sub -committees, as well
as recommendations from Homeless Trust staff and feedback from community meetings with providers
to guide policy development for the CoC, including funding and project prioritization. This structure allows
for a clear and transparent CoC leadership structure: participation of all stakeholders in the decision -
making process for funding and priorities, and a coordinated response targeted toward strategic solutions
to ending homelessness in Miami -Dade County.
Each yearthe Trust's CoC Sub -Committee identifies the community's homeless housing and service needs.
The process involves extensive input from the community, including surveys of homeless persons and
input from homeless providers, as well as public comment meetings, and review and approval by the
Homeless Trust Board; all meetings are publicly noticed.
The City's Homeless Outreach Services Team provides outreach and referral services to persons
experiencing homelessness partially funded by the Trust, to those experiencing homeless in the City in
accordance with the Trust's Outreach, Assessment and Placement model. The model provides a
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 8
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 386 of 1808
standardized procedure for persons experiencing homelessness to access the continuum of care and
ensures they access services appropriate to their individual needs.
The outreach teams also participate in the coordinated outreach process, another program funded by the
Homeless Trust, which provides behavioral health outreach workers who work alongside regular outreach
workers targeting chronically homeless persons. The coordinated outreach process brings together all the
CoC outreach teams, including the Veterans Administration, once a month to discuss issues encountered,
as well as discussing referrals to low demand services and Housing First permanent housing programs for
the chronically homeless placed directly from the street.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards and evaluate
outcomes, and develop funding, policies, and procedures for the administration of HMIS
The City does not receive Emergency Solutions Grant (RSG) funding but does coordinate with the Miami -
Dade County Homeless Trust to prioritize ESG objectives which currently include emergency shelter,
homeless prevention, and rapid re -housing. Priorities are evaluated annually and consider performance
standards and outcomes. The Homeless Trust is currently developing a centralized assessment tool to
capture data on all clients accessing services. The Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) is
administered county -wide by the Homeless Trust. Providers who receive Trust funding are required to
utilize the system and are provided individual user licenses, technical assistance and training related to
the HMIS system. Among many of its functions, the system is used to generate reports on monthly and
annual progress, provide point -in -time information, and conduct referrals from one program to another
in accordance with both Homeless Trust and HUD policies and procedures.
2. Describe Agencies, groups, organizations, and others who participated in the process

1. Summary of citizen participation process/Efforts made to broaden citizen participation
Summarize citizen participation process and how it impacted goal setting
A Community Needs Survey was conducted to solicit input from residents and workers in the City. Respondents were informed that the City was
updating the Consolidated Plan for federal funds that primarily serve low- to moderate -income residents and areas. The questionnaire polled
respondents about the level of need in their neighborhood for various types of improvements that can potentially be addressed by the use of
Consolidated Plan funds. In order to give as many people as possible the chance to voice their opinion, emphasis was placed on making the survey
widely available and gathering a large number of responses rather than administering the survey to a controlled, statistically representative pool.
Therefore, the survey results should be viewed as an indicator of the opinions of the respondents, but not as representing the opinions of the City
population as a group. The survey was distributed through a number of channels in order to gather responses from a broad sample. It was made
available in hard copy format, as well as electronic format via Survey Monkey. Electronic responses were possible via smartphone, tablet, and web
browsers. The survey was available online and offline in English and Spanish.
Public meetings were also held in order to provide forums for residents of the study area and other interested parties to contribute to this
Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. Morning and evening meetings were held in various locations across the City, providing a variety of
options for residents and stakeholders to attend. Public notices of the meetings were displayed in local newspapers and through email notifications
to stakeholder contacts. Meetings were held at the times and locations shown in the following table throughout the City. A summary of comments
received at the meetings is included in the Appendix to this document and a list of meeting times and locations is shown on the next page.

Needs Assessment
NA-05 Overview
Needs Assessment Overview
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data is used to demonstrate the number of
households in need of housing assistance. HUD's CHAS data set is a "special tabulation" of 2013-2017
American Community Survey (ACS) data from the Census Bureau. This "special tabulation" data provides
counts of the numbers of households' problems that fit certain combinations of HUD -specified criteria
such as housing needs. HUD -defined income limits (primarily 30, 50, and 80% of Area Median Income)
and household types of particular interest to planners and policymakers. Since CHAS data requires the
Census Bureau to further calculate estimated housing problems at a micro level, CHAS data often lags
behind more recent ACS data.
The City of Miami Beach — Office of Housing and Community Services facilitates the development and
preservation of quality housing, suitable living environments for persons of low and moderate income
through the Consolidated Planning process. The Needs Assessment is based on an analysis of housing
problems across Miami Beach among renters and owners. The following data indicates the number and
percentage of renters and homeowners who may be subject to housing problems, based on income level.
Assessing the specific housing needs of Miami Beach is critical to creating a realistic and responsive
affordable housing strategy. As such, an assessment of the affordable rental and single-family homes was
conducted based on available demographic, economic, and housing data for the city. The assessment
utilized HUD's new eCon Planning Suite within the Integrated Disbursement and Information System
(IDIS). The eCon Planning Suite pre -populates the most up-to-date housing and economic data available
to assist jurisdictions in identifying funding priorities in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
The Needs Assessment concludes with a review of non -housing community development needs, including
the need for public facilities, public improvements, and public services. Highlights of the assessment are
provided in the sections below.

Number of Households Table
The table below describes these households in three separate categories (0-30%HAMFI, >30-50%HAMFI,
and >50-80% HAMFI); however, these families often face similar housing problems such as overcrowding
and cost burden. For the purposes of this plan and HUD's focus on low-income populations, we will focus
on families with incomes less than 80% AMFL Additionally, this plan will identify families with more than
five members as large families.
The most common household type in Miami Beach is small -family households which is defined as a
household having at least two non -elderly members up to four members. Small families remain the most
common type even when controlled for income. Families with incomes above the median family income
ranked the highest in the city, followed by families earning between 50-80% of the Area Median Family
Income (AMFI).

2. Crowding (More than one person per room)
HUD defines overcrowding as homes that have more than one person per room. Additionally, there are classifications of severe overcrowding where
there are more than 1.5 persons per room. Cost burden occurs when housing costs, including utilities, cost more than 30% of monthly income.
Severe cost burden occurs when monthly housing costs exceed 50% of monthly income. The current housing stock poses a challenge for
working class families with two or more children who find themselves gravitating to surrounding jurisdictions to find affordable family housing

Describe the number and type of single person households in need of housing assistance.
The current CHAS data does not provide an exact number for single person households in need of housing assistance, however; it is likely that
single -person households occupied by a person 65 years and older will need housing assistance if the occupant is also cost -burdened and disabled.
Such services may include housing repairs, accessibility modifications and tenant -based rental assistance. There is also a need for transitional
housing programs for homeless people. In order to meet the needs of homeless individuals, the level of services available for single individuals
must be significantly increased. These individuals will need more intensive case management services that support individual development.
Estimate the number and type of families in need of housing assistance who are disabled or victims of domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking.
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Page 401 of 1808
Domestic violence is any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death of one family or household member by another family or household
member, including assault, battery, sexual assault, sexual battery, stalking, kidnapping, or false imprisonment. According to the Miami Dade
County Homeless Trust Census Results & Comparison report, there are 16 sheltered homeless due to domestic violence.
What are the most common housing problems?
Cost Burden is the most common housing problems in Miami Beach. Cost burden is when a household pay more than 30% of the household's
income for housing and a severe housing cost burden is when a household pay more than 50% for housing costs. According to 2013-2017 CHAS
data report, housing cost burden is the most common problem in Miami Beach, affecting an estimate of 27,840 low- and moderate -income
households. When considering the total number of low- and moderate -income households who pay more than 30-50% of their total monthly
income towards housing, the housing trend reflects renters are much more likely to have housing problems than homeowners and higher income
households. This housing problem is experienced by all income levels but is more common among renters.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems?
Housing problems are prevalent across the entire population, however; families at less than 80 percent AMFI are most affected by higher housing
expenses and lack of decent affordable housing. These income thresholds tend to coincide with the racial and ethnic minority populations in Miami
Beach. These households are disproportionately affected by these problems, particularly the Hispanic population. Miami Beach must consider
language barriers and cultural sensitivities as factors that pose barriers for equal access to housing information, gentrification, and displacement.
The elderly community, often living on fixed incomes, face cost burdens that are often amplified when they have a disability that diminish their
mobility and community integration. The current real estate market has had an adverse impact on elderly renters which causes them to face
homelessness and displacement.
Describe the characteristics and needs of Low-income individuals and families with children (especially extremely low-income) who are
currently housed but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered 91.205(c)/91.305(c)). Also discuss the needs
of formerly homeless families and individuals who are receiving rapid re -housing assistance and are nearing the termination of that assistance
HUD defines very low-income as 50% of the area median income (AMI) and extremely low-income as 30% AMI. Homelessness is linked to a
shortage of housing for individuals and families with very low- and extremely low -incomes. The high cost of housing and low local employment
wages creates a financial burden on low- and moderate -income families who live in Miami Beach. There is a need for more financial assistance,
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 24
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) page 402 of 1808
affordable childcare, transitional housing, and other supportive services, especially for the first six months to a year after a person leaves a shelter
environment.
Additional barriers for housing include:
• Poor credit
• Recent criminal history
• Poor rental history, including prior eviction and money owed to property managers
• Active substance use disorder
• Lack of availability of subsidized housing
• Aging housing stock being converted to higher -end homes
• Rents continuing to rise faster than incomes
The City of Miami Beach currently does not receive Rapid Rehousing funds; however, these are the key needs for individuals who are currently
receiving rapid re -housing and are near termination of housing assistance. The primary need of these individuals, as it is for all very low- to
extremely low-income individuals, is an increased supply of affordable housing. The location of affordable housing is also important.
If a jurisdiction provides estimates of the at -risk population(s), it should also include a description of the operational definition of the at -risk
group and the methodology used to generate the estimates:
The City of Miami Beach pulls data for its at -risk population through the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to track homeless
persons seeking help or resources. Miami -Dade County prepares a point in time count, Homeless Trust Census Results & Comparison Report, to
estimate the number of people that are considered at -risk. The most recent data (from 2022) estimated 3,440 individuals were homeless in Miami -
Dade County. This is based on very low or extremely low-income households that are experiencing housing problems. These households have a
propensity to be at the brink of homelessness. Due to this data being a point in time count, the scope of what can be seen in a singular night raises
questions about the accuracy of the count.
Specify particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness
Particular housing characteristics that have been linked with instability and increased risk of homelessness include:
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 25
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Page 403 of 1808
• Inflation
• Housing Costs
• Quality of Housing Stock
• Overcrowding
Discussion
Households are considered cost burdened when their housing costs exceed 30 percent of their gross income, and severely cost burdened when
their housing costs exceed 50 percent of their gross income. There is a significant number of households in Miami Beach that are paying half of
their gross monthly income for housing costs. Increased costs (due to inflation) for food, transportation, healthcare, utilities, and other
expenditures potentially make these households vulnerable to eviction and homelessness. Consequently, a household can be more vulnerable if
unexpected life issues such as illness, job loss or another circumstances that causes a loss of income or an unexpected expense. Limited or lack of
income can be linked to instability and risk of becoming homeless.
Miami Beach is a beautiful place to live and a much -desired place to visit. The demands of the tourism industry have severely impacted affordable
housing with the advent of Air B&B and other short-term rentals. Owner driven rental services have drawn needed housing units away from the
rental market to satisfy the burgeoning "home tourist" market. It is important to stress that cost burden poses a significant impediment to
providing appropriate housing for both renters and owners. The lack of affordable housing units for those who earn very low- and extremely low -
incomes is linked with increased risk of becoming homeless. Severe cost burden is the greatest predictor of homelessness risk, with populations
paying more than 50% of their income towards housing costs or having incomes at or below 50% AMI.
Overcrowding is a pronounced housing problem for Miami Beach renters. The multifamily rentals are typically apartments or condominiums with
limited square footage and bedrooms. The lack of multifamily homes serves as a disincentive to families wishing to remain in the City as they grow.
Additional reasons for instability and increased risk of homeless in Miami Beach include the continued local housing market recovery after the
COVID-19 pandemic, the high unemployment rate, and the lack of financial support and community services available for those families and
individuals that are suffering from homelessness.

NA-15 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Problems — 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a
whole.
Introduction
Housing needs are based primarily on the condition of existing homes and on the ability of residents to maintain and repair their homes, as well
as on their ability to afford the costs of rental or home mortgage payments. HUD defines disproportionately greater need as persons of racial or
ethnic minority groups that have problems at rate of 10`Yo or more of the entire income group. For the purposes of this analysis, HUD's definition
of disproportionately greater need will apply. The four housing problems are as follows:
1. Lacks complete kitchen facilities.
2. Lacks complete plumbing facilities.
3. Overcrowding (more than one person per room); and
4. Cost Burden greater than 30%.
The 2013-2017 CHAS data tables below summarize the percentage of each racial and ethnic group experiencing housing problems by HUD Adjusted
Median Income (AMI) levels. The tables are separated into four ranges of 0% - 30% of Area Median Income, 30% - 50% of Area Median Income,
50% - 80% of Area Median Income, and 80% - 100% of Area Median Income.
Wo-30% of Area Median Income
Table 13 shows 6,605 households with less than 30% AMI have at least one of the four identified housing problems. The 0%-30% AMI group has
the largest number of households that are suffering from one of the four housing problems. For those households that experienced one or more
housing problems; 72.84%were Hispanic, 20.56%were White, 3.98%were Black/African American and 2.63%were Asian, American Indian, Alaska

Discussion
The tables above illustrate the disparities in housing problems experienced by different racial or ethnic groups and income. An overall assessment
shows that Hispanics at all income levels have the greatest need with one or more housing problems. Whites are the second -highest category.
This is not just a concern for residents that qualify as low-income. There are many residents qualified as moderate to higher income that still
experience housing problems. The four housing problems identified are all major concerns that prevent households from functioning adequately
and from providing an affordable residence.
The condition and availability of housing within Miami Beach is in need of repair as evidenced by the above data. Efforts to reduce the deterioration
of housing through repairs to kitchens and plumbing will provide residents with access to basic needs while also helping to lower their cost burden.

Introduction
The data in the tables below is based on special tabulations of the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS), provided by HUD, and
shows that more low-income households are facing housing problems. The Housing Needs Tables below display these numbers on housing
problems, income, and race for Miami Beach. Severe housing problems include:
• More than 1.5 persons per room
• Cost Burden over 50%
Hispanics and Whites are more likely to live in such housing, while elderly persons are also a substantial portion of those suffering from severe
housing problems as well. The data indicate Hispanics to have a disproportionate number of housing units to have one or more of the four housing
problems, followed closely by Whites. The HUD CHAS data points to the fact that housing problems related to overcrowding, severe cost burden,
lack of kitchen facilities and lack of complete plumbing are borne by those who are poor and working poor. A disproportionately greater need
exists when the percentage of persons in a category of need who are members of a racial or ethnic group is at least 10 percentage points higher
than the percentage of persons in the category.

NA-25 Disproportionately Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens — 91.205 (b)(2)
Assess the need of any racial or ethnic group that has disproportionately greater need in comparison to the needs of that category of need as a
whole.
Introduction:
Examination of the given data makes clear that for those at lower incomes (<= 30% MFI) housing cost burden is a major barrier. HUD states that a
"disproportionate need" exists when any group has a housing need that is 10% or higher than the jurisdiction as a whole. Although the housing
cost burden takes a greater percentage of household income, more Hispanic and White households suffer due to this factor.
Regular income plays an important role in determining how much money a household needs to budget for housing expenses, such as a
mortgage/rent payment and utilities, compared with income the household may need to maintain their individual standard of living. Regular
income is also a strong indicator for mortgage lenders and property owners in determining their potential buyers' or tenants' capacity to maintain
affordability of their future residence. While budgeting priorities are different for each household, a standard of 30% of household income is
utilized as a threshold for housing cost burdens that have evolved over time from rent limits originally established in the United States National
Housing Act of 1937. After 1937, rent limits for low-income subsidized households were adjusted again by the Brooke Amendment (1969) of the
1968 Housing and Urban Development Act.
Housing Cost Burden
The data provided in Table 21 displays household demographics in relation to the number of households that spend 30% or less of their income
on housing costs and compares this population to the number of households with increased housing cost burdens over 30% of their income. Many
households were faced with a lack of employment, an inability to fill available positions due to lack of education, inappropriate skill set or lack of
transportation.
In all of the income categories, the racial/ethnic group with disproportionately greater need, within the categories of severe housing problems, is
Hispanics. Table 21 reported that 10,395 White households (45.68%), 640 Black/African American households (2.81%), 460 Asian households
(2.02%), S4S American Indian/Alaskan Native, Pacific Islander and Other households (2.40`Yo) and 10,715 of Hispanic households (47.09%) are

Table 21— Greater Need: Housing Cost Burdens AMI
Data Source: 2013-2017 CHAS
Discussion:
An overall assessment shows that all racial or ethnic groups have housing cost burdens in various income levels. According to 2013-2017 CHAS
data, Miami Beach has an estimated total of 22,755 households that spend 30% or less of their household income toward housing related costs.
In conjunction with previous CHAS analysis, the most economically disadvantaged are also the most vulnerable. Since low-income residents are
clearly identified as those most likely to be suffering from housing cost burden; it is difficult for them to afford high priced homes in higher
economic opportunity areas or afford rents that go above fair market value. They pay the highest percentage of their income toward housing.
People earning the state minimum wage which is higher than the federal minimum wage have to work 95 hours per week to afford the median
rent in their community of residence. This limits housing choice and perpetuates the problems that already exist.

NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion — 91.205(b)(2)
Are there any Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need than the needs of that income category
as a whole?
The data supports that Hispanic and White households, particularly the elderly, with less than 30 percent AMFI are disproportionately represented.
In general, for Miami Beach, high housing cost burdens have been associated with lower economic income, the prevalence of housing problems,
and the concentration of ethnicity, race, and senior residents within the specific locations of the city's geography.
Regarding housing, it is again, low-income, very low-income, and extremely low-income households in which at least one of the four housing
problems is most likely to occur. Housing problems are tied to ethnic/racial groups, and different groups emerge within different categories of
problems, such as cost burden, crowding, and severe housing problems. The greatest need is reflected by the cost burden at specific income levels
within various demographics.
If they have needs not identified above, what are those needs?
Households that experience a disproportionately greater need may be faced with other needs such as affordable rentals in areas of opportunity
(e.g., in proximity to public transit) and accessible to additional supportive services. Additionally, housing problems and severe housing problems
can affect persons with disabilities. This group includes people with mental illness, and those with physical, intellectual, and developmental
disabilities. These individuals have some of the lowest incomes and worst -case housing needs. Income disparity is also reflected in:
• Children in low-income families
• Individuals with disabilities receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• Seniors on fixed incomes
• Single parent headed families and households
• Households headed by seasonal or temporary workers
• Individuals with low educational levels
• Individuals with limited English proficiency
Are any of those racial or ethnic groups located in specific areas or neighborhoods in your community?
There were not any racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty in Miami Beach as all the communities are diverse with residents from
various racial and ethnic backgrounds.

NA-35 Public Housing — 91.205(b)
Introduction
The City of Miami Beach is covered under the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach [HACMB]. HACMB provides quality housing services
to over 3,700 low-income families annually. HACMB receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
to provide these services. HACMB ranks as one of the top ten largest housing agencies among Florida housing authorities, with an impact on the
local economy of over 30 million dollars annually. The mission of HACMB is to empower people in the community through affordable housing and
self-sufficiency opportunities. The vision is AHA is to become a high performing agency that provides quality housing and services that equip
residents to succeed through operational excellence and staff empowerment.
HACMB is currently administering 3,100 vouchers from the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and the HUD-VASH Programs. The HUD-VASH
program operated by the HACMB has emerged as the most prominent and largest in South Florida. HACMB also administers three Section 8
programs:
• Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program
• Section 8 Project -Based Voucher Program
• Section 8 Substantial Rehabilitation Program
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program is a tenant -based rental assistance program under which an eligible program participant
pays 30 percent of his or her monthly adjusted income toward the rent, and U.S. HUD pays the remainder. In the HCV Program, a participant is
given a voucher and is allowed to look for housing in the private rental market anywhere within HACMB's jurisdiction, which covers Miami Beach
and extends ten miles outside the city.
The Section 8 Project -Based Voucher Program is a project -based rental assistance program under which an eligible program participant pays 30
percent of his or her monthly adjusted income toward the rent, and U.S. HUD pays the remainder. In the Project -Based Program, a participant
may rent a unit in specified buildings located in Miami Beach. The rents for project -based units are already designated per contract.
The Section 8 Substantial Rehabilitation program is a project -based rental assistance program under which an eligible program participant pays 30
percent of his or her monthly adjusted income toward the rent, and U.S. HUD pays the remainder. The HACMB serves as the contract administrator
for the buildings. In the Substantial Rehabilitation Program, a participant may rent a unit in specified buildings located in Miami Beach.

Section 504 Needs Assessment: Describe the needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the
waiting list for accessible units:
Since all public housing is allocated to the elderly population, there is always a need for accessibility
feature accommodations for public housing residents. Due to the infrequency of open application periods,
there is not an accurate way to keep precise measurements for quantitative data that will indicate how
many applicants on each housing authority's waiting list for public housing would require accessibility
features.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders
The most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders is the
availability of units. The HACMB is currently at 98% occupancy. Public housing residents and Housing
Choice Voucher holders have extremely low incomes. The most immediate needs noted by residents of
Public Housing and the Housing Choice Voucher Programs include access to affordable grocery stores,
retail shopping, and department stores. These immediate needs impact day to day success and the ability
to maintain housing.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large?
In many ways, the housing needs of the general population are the same as those in public housing. It can
safely be said that improved income opportunities are the most immediate need of public housing
residents. In Miami Beach, affordable housing is challenging as extremely low-income residents have less
disposable income.
Discussion
The HACMB is developing housing for the first time since the 1970s. Acting as the developer, the agency
completed the rehabilitation of Henderson Court, a five -unit Art Deco building that had been previously
boarded up for a decade. Simultaneously, the construction of the Steven E. Chaykin Apartments, providing
30 units of affordable elderly frail/disabled housing in the heart of South Beach. The Lois Apartments, a
16-unit Mediterranean Revival building and the Leonard Turkel Residences, a 21-unit contemporary
building for the elderly, is available to elderly frail/disabled families.
The HACMB is successfully conducting multi -million -dollar upgrades for Rebecca Towers, turning this
complex into a model of public housing for the 21st Century. Completed so far in this comprehensive
initiative are the installation of over 1,600 high impact windows, an elevator modernization project that
provided state-of-the-art elevators, a full-scale renovation of the residents' lunch room, professional
exterior pressure washing and painting, installation of upgraded emergency generator systems,
installation of a tele-entry system, as well as eco-friendly initiatives such as roof replacement, installation
of tankless water heaters, water conserving toilets, new energy efficient domestic water pump systems,
and a rain -sensing irrigation system. Currently, underway is the replacement of a hot water boiler system
with a high efficiency tan kless system.

NA-40 Homeless Needs Assessment — 91.205(c)
Introduction:
The following section provides a general assessment of the City's homeless population and its needs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) uses the following categories to define homelessness:
• Literally Homeless:
o Sheltered Homeless: lives in emergency shelter, transitional housing for the homeless or a hotel or motel with the stay being paid
for by an organization.
o Unsheltered Homeless: lives in a car, park, abandoned building, encampment, dilapidated building, on the sidewalk, or similar
location.
• Imminently Homeless: is facing loss of housing within two weeks, has no subsequent residence identified, and lacks the resources or
support networks needed to obtain other permanent housing.
• Other Homeless: in jail, a hospital, or a detox program, but would otherwise have been homeless.
• Fleeing/Attempting to Flee Domestic Violence: Is fleeing, or is attempting to flee, domestic violence; has no other residence; and lacks
the resources or support networks to obtain other permanent housing
Miami Beach is a part of the Miami -Dade County Continuum of Care. The data below was extracted from HUD's 2022 Continuum of Care
Homeless Assistance Programs Homeless Populations and Subpopulations report. This report is based on point -in -time information provided
to HUD by Continuums of Care (CoCs) as part of their CoC Program application process, per the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the
Fiscal Year 2022 Continuum of Care Program Competition. CoCs are required to provide an unduplicated count of homeless persons according
to HUD standards (explained in HUD's annual HIC and PIT count notice and HUD's Point -in -Time Count Methodology Guide. HUD has conducted
a limited data quality review but has not independently verified all of the information submitted by each CoC. Additionally, a shift in the
methodology a CoC uses to count the homeless may cause a change in homeless counts between reporting periods.

NA-45 Non -Homeless Special Needs Assessment - 91.205 (b,d)
Introduction:
This section will discuss the characteristics and needs of persons in various subpopulations of Miami Beach
who are not homeless but may require supportive services, including the elderly, frail elderly, persons
with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, persons with
alcohol or drug addiction, and victims of domestic violence, persons with a criminal record, those who
have limited English proficiency, and those who are transportation disadvantaged. Persons belonging to
this population may have additional needs before, during, and after an incident in functional areas
including but not limited to maintaining independence, communication, transportation, supervision, and
medical care.
Describe the characteristics of special needs populations in your community:
Non -homeless special needs populations experience many of the same housing and service needs and
barriers that others in the Miami Beach area experience. In fact, non -homeless special needs populations
tend to be those who have extremely low or very low income who are at risk of becoming homeless as
described earlier. Characteristics of non -homeless special needs populations include people who:
• Live on fixed income, limited income, or no income
• Lack available affordable housing
• Wait on long waiting lists for subsidized housing
• Lack housing with supportive services
• Lack credit history, have negative credit or rental history, have criminal backgrounds or other
factors that affect their ability to find a willing property owner
• Have health issues, such as substance use or mental health disorders
• Lack job opportunities or are unable to work
• Lack dependable transportation
The section below will describe why identifying the characteristics and needs of these sub -populations is
essential to the planning process for these federal dollars.
Elderly and Frail Elderly
Elderly and frail elderly are often unable to maintain existing homes or to afford rent. They are often over -
housed in homes that have more square footage than the elderly homeowner or renter can maintain on
a limited budget. Housing cost burden -related issues are often compounded by the requirement of
additional services it takes for elderly and frail -elderly to age in place. These services may include costly
medical and other daily living assistance services. Frail and elderly individuals are in a higher state of
vulnerability for adverse health outcomes compared to non -frail elderly individuals, either due to slow
declines or terminal illnesses.
Persons with Physical Disability
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 48
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 426 of 1808
ACS defines ambulatory difficulties as seriously affecting motility and the ability to walk or climb stairs.
Finding housing that is both affordable and accessible is a basic challenge for persons with physical
disabilities.
The 2017 ACS five-year estimate reports there were approximately 12,258 persons with disabilities in
Miami Beach representing 13.2% of the population. Of this total, 4,864 were elderly disabled,
representing 5.2`Yo of the disabled population. There were 6,517 disabled adults ages 18-64, or 7% of the
population. Ambulatory difficulties represent 7.2% of the population, consume a small portion of the
disabled population.
Persons with Developmental Disabilities
Persons with developmental disabilities are individuals with mental or physical disabilities or a
combination of mental and physical conditions resulting in significant impairments to daily functioning,
including mental retardation, autism, traumatic brain injury, fetal neurological disorders, epilepsy, and
cerebral palsy. The disability's origin is in the brain and is usually established early in life and the disability
must be expected to last indefinitely. Persons living with developmental disabilities in Miami Beach
include individuals who have hearing, vision, cognitive, developmental, ambulatory, self -care, or
independent living difficulties, and many individuals have multiple difficulties.
The 2017 ACS five-year estimate reports 4.45% of the disabled population is identified as have cognitive
difficulty. Additional services to help developmentally disabled persons stay with their families as well as
additional housing and residential facilities would be welcomed. Other needed services include vocational
services, social and community involvement, and transportation.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence affects families and communities. The Bureau of Justice Statistics defines domestic
violence as victimizations committed by intimate partners (current or former spouses, boyfriends, or
girlfriends), immediate family members (parents, children, or siblings), and other relatives.
What are the housing and supportive service needs of these populations and how are these needs
determined?
The primary housing and supportive needs of these subpopulations include affordable, safe housing
opportunities in areas with access to transportation, social services, and for education regarding fair
housing rights and actions that can be taken in the event those rights are violated. Persons with disabilities
often require accessible features and ground floor housing units. Victims of domestic violence need safe
housing, removal of barriers to relocation, and for perpetrators to be held accountable. Supportive
services of these populations include senior services; congregate meals and food supplanting services and
other public service programs that support low-income househoids. Many of the supportive needs of
these subpopulations are available through existing nongovernmental organizations. However, there is a
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 49
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 427 of 1808
strong need for greater collaboration and education among local government agencies and nonprofits to
serve the various special needs subpopulations more efficiently and comprehensively.
These needs were determined by input from both service providers and the public through the Needs
Assessment survey, public meetings, and stakeholder interviews.
Discuss the size and characteristics of the population with HIV/AIDS and their families within the Eligible
Metropolitan Statistical Area:
HIV stands for "human immunodeficiency virus." It is a virus that can only infect humans and leads to the
weakening of the immune system. The immune system is the body's system for fighting disease. When it
is compromised or weakened, a person becomes vulnerable to all kinds of bacteria, viruses, or other
agents that cause disease. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. It damages your immune system, making it
easier for you to get sick. HIV is spread during sex, but condoms can help protect you.
The City of Miami Beach does not collect data on persons with HIV/AIDS. Data is collected by AIDSV for
Miami Dade County. According to Local Data report for 2020, there were 25,595 persons were living with
HIV and 782 newly diagnosed. Due to the extremely high percentage of Program clients who are living at
or below the federal poverty level, individuals living with HIV/AIDS have an acute need for affordable
housing. Due to real estate dynamics such as land acquisition costs and construction costs, the real estate
market does not produce units with asking rents in the $300/month range, which is what a single
individual living at or below the poverty level would need in order to not be housing cost burdened.
Therefore, many Program clients will need direct financial assistance for housing in the form of a voucher
or will need to locate a rent -restricted unit in an affordable housing development.

NA-50 Non -Housing Community Development Needs — 91.215 (f)
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Facilities:
HUD identifies publicly owned facilities and infrastructure such as streets, playgrounds, and underground
utilities, and buildings owned by non -profits that are open to the public, as Public Facilities and
Improvements under the CDBG program. The continued growth in the elderly population mandates the
need for additional public facilities to meet the needs of the increased population.
Publicly owned community facilities include a wide range of recreational uses, including recreation and
aquatic centers, senior centers, libraries, specialty parks, and event plazas. These facilities offer a specific
stand-alone use, though they can be located within or adjacent to public parks sharing facilities to
integrate related programming. Each community facility has location and service levels that need to be
evaluated based on land area required, demographics of residents it serves and relationship to other city
facilities and parks.
Recent projects include a newly constructed senior center in North Beach, a youth center at Flamingo Park
and rehabilitated the JCS Senior Center on Espanola Way.
How were these needs determined?
Several sources were considered to determine these public facilities' needs. In preparing the Consolidated
Plan, the Miami Beach Office of Community Services consulted with the public, other City departments,
and outside government and private service agencies.
In order to solicit online feedback from stakeholders regarding the Consolidated Plan, the city conducted
a resident needs survey in the first quarter of 2023. An online survey was utilized due to ongoing social
distancing protocols related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The SurveyMonkey platform was selected
because it has a mobile -friendly interface that allows stakeholders to easily access the survey from a
computer or any type of mobile device, including a cell phone. The survey was made available in both
English and Spanish.
Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Improvements:
Miami Beach supports a suitable living environment supports the quality of life of individuals and
communities. Improvements can be made by increasing the livability of neighborhoods. Remedies include
eliminating blight, increasing access to quality facilities and services, restoring, and preserving properties
of special historic, architectural, or aesthetic value, and conserving energy resources. All these actions
support quality of life improvement. In consultation with the public and interested parties, and based on
past results, the City plans to address the jurisdiction's public facilities needs by constructing and/or
rehabilitating neighborhood facilities.
The City's strategy is to connect and integrate health, affordable housing, economic development,
education, transportation, arts and culture, and equitable neighborhood revitalization. When citizens
were asked to prioritize the expenditure of funds for public improvement projects, Miami Beach residents

Describe the jurisdiction's need for Public Services:
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused extreme mental stress and emotional turmoil for individuals and
family throughout Miami Beach. The City of Miami Beach is committed to serving the needs of low-income
and special needs Populations with various community services that aid the families in participating fully in
the community. These families include those at or below poverty levels, at risk of homelessness,
unemployed or underemployed, physically challenged, aging, lacking access to health care, or lacking
education or literacy skills.
Another important unmet community service need identified is mental health services. Health care
services, senior services, youth activities, and childcare were also prioritized as needs. Some mental health
stressors that residents face, include worrying about how to pay their rent/utility bills and having trouble
finding childcare. The following public service activities have been identified as a need in the city.
• Homelessness Solutions
• Legal Services for Homeless Individuals
• Supportive Services for the Elderly & Disabled
• Transitional Housing and Transportation Services fortransitional residents
• Childcare and Afterschool Programs for lower income communities
• Mental Health Counseling

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
The purpose of the Market Analysis is to provide a clear picture of the environment in which the
jurisdiction must administer its programs over the course of the Consolidated Plan. The Miami Beach
housing market continues to see significant growth in development, which is a sure sign of economic and
market recovery.
In conjunction with the Needs Assessment, the Market Analysis will provide the basis for the Strategic
Plan and the programs and projects to be administered. The Housing Market Analysis provides
information on:
• Significant characteristics of Miami Beach's housing market in general, including the supply,
demand, and condition and cost of housing
• Housing stock available to serve persons with disabilities and other special needs
• Condition and need of public and assisted housing
• Brief inventory of facilities, housing, and services to meet the needs of homeless persons
• Regulatory barriers to affordable housing
• Significant characteristics of the jurisdiction's economy

Introduction
This section discusses the supply of housing in Miami Beach. The tables and narrative below portray the
housing market in Miami Beach by unit number, type, tenure, and size. Data provided by the 2013-2017
ACS, as shown in Table 31, shows that overall, most of the housing units are structures that contain 20
or more units. The remaining housing stock was in a variety of multi -family configurations, ranging from
2-4-unit structures to structures with 5-19 units. By size, majority of owner -occupied units in the county
are large, having two to three bedrooms. On the contrary, the rental units are small as measured by
number of bedrooms, where nearly three -fourths of rental units have one bedroom.

Describe the number and targeting (income level/type of family served) of units assisted with federal,
state, and local programs.
The City of Miami Beach currently has 2,241 subsidized units available with 88% of the units occupied
according to the HUD's 2022 Picture of Subsidized Households for Miami Beach, Florida. The average
household income per year for this group is $10,180. Majority of the households fall within the very low
and extremely low-income categories, with over 50% having a head of household with a disability. CDBG
grant funds are utilized to carry out public facility and public service activities that service individuals at or below
80%Area Median Income (AMI).
Data Source: httos://www.huduser.eov/Donal/datasets/assthse.html
Provide an assessment of units expected to be lost from the affordable housing inventory for any
reason, such as expiration of Section 8 contracts.
Miami Beach expects to lose a significant amount of affordable housing units due to the current economy.
The affordability period has ended for a substantial number of units and most of the owners are taking
advantage of the housing market and selling the properties. The City has advocated for conversion of
home assisted units to workforce units as a means of creating a more financially stable economy for all
residents.
Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
No; the availability of housing units does not fully meet the needs of the population since the city has
a shortage of both for -sale and rental properties that are affordable for low- and moderate -income
individuals and households. The lack of diversity of housing stock may be one driver of housing
affordability. Rental trends indicate that housing costs -burdens are likely to continue to grow as average
rents rise at rates that outpace income growth. There is a significant disconnect between the supply and
location of affordable housing units and the quality and the condition of these homes.
Describe the need for specific types of housing:
There are very few market rate apartments to accommodate single individuals. Households in the market
for moderate to high-priced rentals, homeownership opportunities, and owner -occupied homes with two
to three bedrooms have plenty of options. Renters with low -incomes or who need three or more
bedrooms, low -moderate income families seeking affordable homeownership opportunities, elderly, and
disabled households are likely to find more limited options. Rent has significantly increased as home
values have increased but incomes have not drastically increased further widening the gap between low-
income wage earners and affordable units.

MA-15 Housing Market Analysis: Cost of Housing - 91.210(a)
Introduction
The section below contains pre -populated tables that provide an overview of the cost of housing and
affordability for homeowners and renters in Miami Beach based on 2013-2017 ACS data. This section
addresses housing cost starting with an overview of how housing costs have changed, examines Fair
Market Rents relative to market rents, and summarizes top needs based on the gaps analysis, resident
surveys, and stakeholder consultation. The limited stock of affordable housing creates barriers to
available homeownership and rental opportunities for low- and moderate -income households. Rapidly
rising home sales prices and steadily increasing rents are issues that will negatively affect the ability of
low- and moderate -income residents to secure affordable housing. While rising home sales prices
benefit existing homeowners who choose to sell their homes, these higher sales prices prevent low -
and moderate -income homebuyers from being able to purchase a home. In recent years there has been
a significant uptick in housing prices that is not captured in this data but is important to note as we
access cost of housing for this Consolidated Plan period.

Is there sufficient housing for households at all income levels?
No, sufficient housing is not available for households at all income levels. There is a cumulative shortage
of rental units and/or subsidies units for renters earning less than $25,000. An analysis of affordable
ownership found a shortage of starter homes for renters who would like to buy. Income is a major
factor when determining affordability in the housing market and what factors contribute to associated
cost burdens.
According to data 2013-2017 CHAS data, 33% of households in Miami Beach are costs burdened —
using more than 30% of their income for housing costs. Individuals and family's budget for mandatory
expenditures such asthe mortgage, rent, and utility payments before determining how much money is
available for living expenses, savings, and investments.
How is affordability of housing likely to change considering changes to home values and/or rents?
The affordability of housing will continue to diminish as housing costs continue to rise because of the post
pandemic inflation. If housing affordability becomes more of a challenge in the City of Miami Beach, it is
likely that residents seeking affordability and a suburban or ex -urban setting will continue to look to
surrounding areas for housing. The housing costs in North Beach remain steady as the South & Middle
Beach costs continue to rise. As the city grows denser, the cost housing will increase if residential
development in the area does not keep pace with demand to accommodate needs. Some residents who
have considered moving have not due to the lack of affordable housing in other areas and/or because
friends and family live nearby. Given these factors, it is unlikely that turnover of existing housing will play
a significant role in meeting demand.
How do HOME rents / Fair Market Rent compare to Area Median Rent? How might this impact your
strategy to produce or preserve affordable housing?
As Miami Beach develops its affordable housing strategy, it will review the benefits of using small area
rents and other factors in determining affordable housing goals. The method for determining the
affordability deficit for families in need of housing is the process of comparing the amount of monthly
income that is equal to 30% or less of that income with the rent costs associated with a unit that meets
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 58
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 436 of 1808
the family space needs. According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition's "Out of Reach" 2022
Annual Report, the Fair Market Rent (FMR) for a two -bedroom apartment for the Miami Beach -Kendall
area HMFA is $1,672. Fair Market Rents are generally lower than actual median rents; however, current
FMRs appear sufficiently attractive to developers and affordable to tenants with a moderate level of
HOME subsidy. Research shows that rising housing costs undermine equitable access to neighborhoods
that offer health and quality of life benefits such as safety, walkability, open space, and healthy food
options. The growing demand for housing and associated development is a result of a steady growing
population.

MA-20 Housing Market Analysis: Condition of Housing — 91.210(a)
Introduction
This section discusses housing condition. It begins by addressing the new HUD requirement for assessing
natural disaster risks; describes challenges in housing condition from the perspective of residents; and
concludes with an assessment of lead -based paint risk. The age and condition of housing units in Miami
Beach are also important variables in assessing the overall characteristics of the local housing market. This
section will review data to assess important factors that affect the city's housing stock. Forthe purposes of this
analysis, property located in low-income neighborhoods that are more than 30 years old is considered `bider
housing stock'.
The tables below we will compare the condition of homeowner- and renter- occupied units in Miami Beach,
evaluate the age differences between homeowner- and renter- occupied units, and compare the number of
vacant units to the number of units that are at risk of having lead -based paint.
Definitions
Cost Burden: is when a household has expended more than 30% of the gross household income on housing
costs (rent or mortgage) that include utilities (electricity, gas, sewer, and water). Cost burdened households
will find it difficult to meet all household needs; severely cost burdened households may be in danger of
homelessness.
Housing Conditions: (1) lacks complete plumbing facilities, (2) lacks complete kitchen facilities, (3) more
than one person per room (overcrowding), and (4) cost burden greater than 30%.
Complete Kitchen Facilities: A housing unit is considered to have "complete kitchen facilities' if it has a
sink with a faucet, a stove or range, and a refrigerator.
Overcrowding: is defined by HUD as 1.01 to 1.50 persons per room, while severe overcrowding is 1.51
or more persons per room.
Substandard Unit: A housing unit that does not meet local housing building codes and/or does not meet
HUD Housing Quality Standards (HQS).
Substandard condition but suitable for rehabilitation: A substandard unit that based on reasonable cost
of rehabilitation or historical significance, should be saved and rehabilitated.

Need for Owner and Rental Rehabilitation
Miami Beach considers a housing unit in "substandard condition" if it is in poorcondition and is both structurally
and financially feasible to rehabilitate. Older housing, particularly rentals, often have code and deferred
maintenance issues that can impact the longevity of the structure. Homeowners in Miami Beach are often
presented with high assessment fees from condominium associations that operate with little to no reserves
to repair buildings which places all residents of those buildings at risk of losing housing that is affordable.
As a result, housing stock is diminished in terms of accessibility and affordability.
For planning purposes, owner- and renter -occupied units that lack a minimum of one out of four selected
housing conditions will establish a base number of units that require financial assistance. Among these
households, the improvements or modifications needed include:
• Grab bars
• Wider doors
• Ramps
• Fire alarm/doorbell made accessible for person with hearing disability/deaf
• Service or emotional support animal allowed in the home
• Stair lifts
• Reserved accessible parking spot by entrance
• Alarm
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by low- or Moderate -Income Families with LBP Hazards
Based on the 2013-2017 CHAS data there is approximately 33,955 housing units that could have an LBP
hazard impact. Lead is a highly toxic metal that can cause a range of health problems for individuals, and
especially children. The major source of lead exposure comes from lead -contaminated dust found in
deteriorating homes and buildings. HUD regulations regarding lead -based paint apply to ail federally
assisted housing. Exposure to lead -based paint represents one of the most significant environmental
threats from a housing perspective.
Lead was banned from residential paint in 1978, prior to which it was a major ingredient in most interior
and exterior oil -based house paint. Housing built before 1978, therefore, may present a lead hazard if any
coat of paint contains lead. Unfortunately, measuring the exact number of housing units with lead -based
paint hazards is difficult. In most circumstances, low-income households that earn between 0 to 50%
Median Family Income (MFI) are least able to afford well -maintained housing and, therefore, are often at
greater risk of lead poisoning. The potential health hazards of living in a home built prior to 1978 and
being exposed to lead -based paint are more likely to have harmful effects on children.

Introduction
Miami -Dade County has a variety of housing options for homeless individuals ranging from emergency shelter to permanent supportive housing.
There are dozens of homeless service providers in Miami -Dade County who provide housing, services, or both. The City, as a member of the
Continuum of Care, has access to all of these providers and their services. Data on the homeless population is collected through the Homeless
Management Information System, managed by the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust. The City also maintains a separate management information
system that provides longitudinal tracking of homeless clients served.

The City's Homeless Outreach Services Team provides homeless outreach, minimally funded by the
Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust (Trust), to those homeless in the City in accordance with the Trust's
Outreach, Assessment and Placement model. The model provides a standardized procedure for homeless
persons to access the Continuum of Care and ensures they access services appropriate to their individual
needs.
The outreach teams also participate in the coordinated outreach process, another program funded by the
Trust, which provides behavioral health outreach workers who work alongside regular outreach workers
targeting chronically homeless persons. The coordinated outreach process brings together all the CoC
outreach teams, including the Veterans Administration, once a month to discuss issues encountered, as
well as discussing referrals to its low -demand, Housing First permanent housing program for the
chronically homeless placed directly into housing from the street.
The City's homeless outreach teams also make direct referrals to the following agencies:
• Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center- provides comprehensive mental health
services, including case management and transitional and permanent housing to those chronically
homeless in Miami Beach suffering from mental illness.
• Favela Miami —the City supports a job program that allows Favela Miami to hire homeless
person(s) in shelter referred to by the City 's Homeless Outreach Services Team to conduct
cleanliness missions under the supervision of City of Miami Beach Sanitation Division
Supervisor(s).
The City's General Fund also funds a temporary employment program through Favela Miami which
provides short-term employment, work and interview clothes, and a letter of employment reference to
homeless participants referred by the City.

are limited, it is important for the system to eliminate duplication of effort by local agencies, both in intake
and assessment procedures, and in subsequent housing and supportive services. Coordination, referral,
and intake occurs with the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust who has highly trained caseworkers.
Homeless services providers make every effort to connect participants with mainstream resources such
as employment assistance, mental health counseling, healthcare assistance, transportation benefits,
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, and addiction counseling.

MA-35 Special Needs Facilities and Services — 91.210(d)
Introduction
The City of Miami Beach has a wide range of supported services for special needs populations. The city
has a network of providers that deliver housing and supportive services to people who are elderly or frail
elderly, people with mental, physical and/or developmental disabilities, and people with substance abuse
addictions. Miami Beach does not receive funding through the Housing Opportunities for Persons with
AIDS Program (HOPWA).
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental), persons
with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, public housing
residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe their supportive housing
needs
The elderly and frail elderly have physical, medical, maintenance, social, emotional, and financial needs.
Elderly and frail elderly are often unable to maintain existing homes or to afford rent. Housing cost burden
related issues are often compounded by the requirement of additional services it takes for elderly and
frail elderly to age in place. These services may include costly medical and other daily living assistance
services. As the population continues to age, the need for age- related services increases. The housing
assistance caseworkers are reliant upon frequent professional assessments, often times by a primary care
physician, to fully understand and reciprocate an appropriate action and accommodations. Access is
particularly important for the physically handicapped. Physically handicapped persons often require
specially designed dwellings to permit access both within the unit, as well as to and from the site.
Persons with mental and developmental disabilities often need alternative living arrangements that may
include supervision, in -home support services, respite services, transportation services, day program
services, educational services, and supported employment services.
The Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach provides housing for low-income seniors and disabled
individuals. In total, 200 units in 1 facility is included in their program. The programs of the HACMB have
a number of characteristics of interest to that segment of the affordable housing market. Unfortunately,
there is often a waiting list for this program, and it can be as long as several months. During certain
periods, the state may even decide to close the waiting list and not accept any additional applications due
to high demand.
Unfortunately, at this time, Miami Beach does not receive funding for housing programs specifically for
the population living with HIV/AIDS.
Describe programs for ensuring that persons returning from mental and physical health institutions
receive appropriate supportive housing
The Mayfair Hotel is a fully renovated, historical, Art Deco facility located in Miami Beach. The Mayfair has
two programs through Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center (CMHC). One program is a 20-
bed subsidy program for eligible DG consumers. The second is the 22-bed Shelter Plus Care Mayfair
program. The site is in South Beach and central to cultural events and institutions such as museums, Miami
City Ballet, New World Symphony, libraries, medical offices, and transportation. Douglas Gardens CMHCis
the City's sole federally qualified mental health center.
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 69
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp.09/30/2021)
Page 447 of 1808
The Shelter Plus Care Program is a permanent housing program designed to serve homeless individuals
with severe and chronic mental illness. In addition to the housing subsidy, persons in this program are
provided with supportive services such as Case Management, Medication Management, and Social
Rehabilitation groups. They are also encouraged to become involved in community and peer -run activities
such as Journal/Writing Club, Garden Gazette, DG Walking Club, and Double Trouble.
Douglas Gardens CMHC has two S+C programs: The Mayfair and Scattered Sites. The Mayfair is designed
for persons in need of a more structured facility and monitoring. Scattered Sites is intended for persons
able to live completely independently but still in need of psychiatric services and support. In order to be
eligible for the S+C Program, persons must be homeless, have a psychiatric disability, have a stable
income, and be actively involved in treatment.
Specify the activities that the jurisdiction plans to undertake during the next year to address the housing
and supportive services needs identified in accordance with 91.215(e) with respect to persons who are
not homeless but have other special needs. Link to one-year goals. 91.315(e)
The City will fund activities that address the housing and supportive service needs identified in this
Consolidated Plan. The provision of rent assistance and food supports align this goal with the One -Year
Plan as does the senior services identified for funding. More so, the commitment of funds to address the
rehabilitation of affordable housing units will serve the housing needsof several sub -populations including
low-income, disabled, seniors, and youth.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing — 91.210(e)
Negative Effects of Public Policies on Affordable Housing and Residential Investment
When compared to other parts of Miami -Dade County or even some municipalities in other counties in
South Florida, Miami Beach enjoys a relatively strong real estate market. This creates and contributes to
the two primary problems affecting availability of affordable housing. This is compounded by the
geography which presents limited vacant land for construction of new units. The cost burden associated
with homeownership opportunities (other than condominiums) makes it almost impossible for low to
moderate -income households to purchase a home. Furthermore, many of the units, both rental and
condominium, are one bedroom or efficiencies and cannot accommodate those households that require
larger units.

Based on the Business Activity table above, what are the major employment sectors within
your jurisdiction?
The largest sector of the workforce in the City of Miami Beach is Arts, Entertainment, Accommodations at
49% of jobs. The second largest sector is educational services and health care, making up 16% of the total
workforce. Lastly, the third largest sector is retail trade at 12% of jobs. A detailed account of the workforce
is included in the tables above.
Describe the workforce and infrastructure needs of the business community:
The local economy will depend on a strong workforce skilled in the education, health care, and
professional and management sector. The City needs drainage and resiliency improvements are needed
to help existing businesses and stimulate future economic development and to enable the City to adapt
to changing environmental conditions. The major employment sector is Arts, Entertainment, and
Hospitality which often pays low wages. Access to housing for many of the employees of this sector is
extremely difficult due to low wages.
How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment
opportunities in the jurisdiction?
Currently, the largest sector of the workforce in the City is Arts, Entertainment, and Accommodations,
followed by educational services and healthcare, then retail trade. The level of education is not congruent
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 74

with the jobs available in the city, whereas the majority of available jobs fall into the Arts, Entertainment,
and Accommodation sector. These jobs often do not require degrees or higher education.
Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce
Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts
will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan.
The City funds a local non-profit, Unidad of Miami Beach Inc., to provide employment training for low -
and moderate -income people. The Little Havana Activities Nutrition Center employs low- and moderate -
income seniors at its Rainbow Childcare program. HOPE in Miami -Dade, Inc. and Jewish Community
Services continue to provide paid employment training to the homeless. CareerSource South
Florida/Miami Beach Center provides job training and placement and has worked closely with the City's
Homeless Outreach Services Team to find permanent employment for homeless persons.
The employment of elderly, low-income and homeless persons will support the Consolidated Plan as the
City works collaboratively to improve the economic and living conditions of the same target populations.
Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)?
The City does not participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).
If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated

Discussion
The arts, entertainment, accommodations, professional, scientific, management services, education and
health care sectors are the major employers in the City. The City has a well-educated workforce to meet
the needs of the business community. There is a need to update the City's infrastructure, specifically its
drainage to promote sustainable economic development in the City. The greatest ongoing concern is the
City's ability to offer affordable housing to its workforce. Aside from the quantity of units in its housing
inventory, rising seas and changing environmental conditions pose a challenge regarding the quality of
the City's housing inventory and its ability to withstand the emerging resiliency challenges.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there areas where households with multiple housing problems are concentrated? (include a
definition of "concentration")
Low-income households are more affected by multiple housing problems, particularly Hispanic and
Black/African American households in the North Beach and South Beach area.
Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are
concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration")
HUD defines an area of racial or ethnic concentration as one in which the minority population share is
20% higher than the group's countywide average. Low-income families are concentrated in the North
Beach and South Beach Target Areas. There are no ethnic- or race -specific neighborhoods within the City
as residents of all backgrounds are fairly diversified throughout the City's 15.22 square miles based on
existing population representations. However, according to US Census, there are population
concentrations throughout South Florida along racial and ethnic divides.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
The North Beach market has historically had less new development, and although it is more affordable
than some other areas, the need for affordable housing still is an unmet need based on the number of
households that require it. North Beach, however, is poised for growth with the investment in Town
Center and the development of the West Lots. These efforts will activate previously dormant or
significantly underutilized areas and revitalize business districts. There are fourteen low- and moderate -
income block groups in the North Beach Target Area. There are twenty-one low- and moderate -income
block groups in the South Beach target area.
Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods?
There is good access to transportation. There are many small, regional, national, and international
businesses that serve these neighborhoods. Local CDCs provided affordable housing and public services
to low -to moderate -income populations in North Beach and South Beach.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
Strategic opportunities in these areas include:
• Construction of and rehabilitation of affordable housing.
• Exploring resiliency strategies that will counteract rising seas (and rising insurance costs)
• Infrastructure improvements that will counteract rising seas and extreme weather events.

MA-60 Broadband Needs of Housing occupied by Low- and Moderate -Income
Households - 91.210(a)(4), 91.310(a)(2)
Describe the need for broadband wiring and connections for households, including low- and
moderate -income households and neighborhoods.
While broadband service is readily available in Miami Beach, low- and moderate -income household's
ability to access and/or afford these services is limited. In many of the high -poverty census tracts
households did not have broadband, fiber optic or DLS internet subscription. Furthermore, over half of
very low-income households do not have an internet subscription of any kind. And when this lack of high-
speed internet access is examined based on Hispanic ethnicity, a substantial population in the city, more
than one quarter of Hispanic households have no internet subscription of any kind. The primary issue
around broadband access is a combination of available infrastructure (not wired), or it is not affordable.
It all comes down to economics —either the ability to afford broadband or devices (or both).
Describe the need for increased competition by having more than one broadband Internet
service provider serve the jurisdiction.
Competition for broadband service already exists in Miami Beach, as there are at least nine residential,
seven business, and six mobile service providers that provide internet services that allow for download
speeds of up to 1000 MBS, according to www.highspeedinternet.com.

MA-65 Hazard Mitigation - 91.210(a)(5), 91.310(a)(3)
Describe the jurisdiction's increased natural hazard risks associated with climate change.
HUD now requires that jurisdictions assess natural hazard risks to low- and moderate -income residents,
including risks expected to increase due to climate change. The Department of Fire/Rescue, Emergency
Management Division, conducts planning, training, hazard identification, risk and vulnerability analyses,
and resource identification for the City of Miami Beach to further individual, business and community
preparedness for all hazards thereby promoting a safe working environment and a sustainable community
in pursuit of the mission of the City of Miami Beach. The goal of this division is to mitigate the effects of
potential hazards, prepare/plan for measures to be taken which will preserve life and minimize damage
to property, respond during emergencies and provide necessary assistance, and ensure a rapid recovery
from disasters by restoring the community to its pre -disaster condition.
Describe the vulnerability to these risks of housing occupied by low- and moderate -income households
based on an analysis of data, findings, and methods.
Low -and -moderate income households are always the most vulnerable to risks including natural hazards
because of climate change. To mitigate natural disaster risks and address the needs of low- and moderate -
income households who are most likely to be affected the following approaches are suggested:
Focused outreach: Outreach should focus on low-income renters and elderly and Limited English
Proficiency (LEP) residents. Information needs to be in Spanish, as well as English, and be user-friendly.
This applies to both outreach and education materials and post -flood damage assessment procedures and
forms.
Outreach and education: Provide residents with information about obtaining flood insurance and what
to do when a flood occurs. To make this outreach effective, public entities need to build relationships with
residents who are least likely to seek out help for various reasons (either they do not know about what
assistance is available or they do not trust the government). Cities/counties should partner with already
trusted community sources who can help bridge the gap including churches, Community Health Workers,
trusted doctors/health care workers, and offices that offer other types of assistance and operate in rural
areas, such as USDA.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
The strategic plan is a five-year strategy of the Consolidated Plan that sets general priorities for allocating
investment within the jurisdiction and details priority needs. It describes the basis for assigning the priority
given to each category of need. It also identifies any obstacles to meeting underserved populations. The
strategic plan outlines accomplishments that the City of Miami Beach expects to achieve over the next
five years, FY 2023-2027.
• Geographic Priorities: To generate the greatest impacts, the City will focus efforts on approved
target areas in North Beach, North Beach CRA, South Beach which are the City's neighborhoods
with the greatest number of low-income persons. The general priorities and needs areaffordable
housing and public services that meet the needs of the City's very low-, low- and moderate -
income residents.
• Priority Needs: The City has identified affordable housing and support for homeless and special
needs populations as priority needs for the next five years.
• Influence of Market Conditions: Cost burden (paying more than 30 percent of household income
for housing) is the major housing problem faced by most of the city's low and moderate -income
renters.

recognizes that as housing ages and the cost of housing increases,
maintaining existing housing allows affordability to remain
paramount. Additionally, income disparities are a major factor in
selecting this priority basis. More than 50% of elderly households are
cost -burdened and the gap is only rising as income remains flat and
the cost of housing steadily increases. The research also shows that
new housing added by developers is out of reach for residents who
earn low wages rendering them unable to live in the community in
which they work.

Tenant Based I The cost of housing is increasing at a faster rate than income, which contributes
Rental Assistance I to unaffordable rent for people with low-income. Also, the demand for rental
(TBRA)
housing across all income levels limits the availability of housing at levels that is
affordable for low-income families. Couple these issues with property owners
seeking to recoup losses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic by foregoing
renters with subsidies for renters who can pay higher amounts and short-term
rentals, which drives increased revenues. TBRA is an important tool for families
to maintain affordable housing. Severe cost burden is the greatest predictor of
homelessness risk, with populations paying more than 50% of their income
towards housing costs or having incomes at or below 50% AM[ at greatest risk of
becoming homeless.
TBRA for Non-
Lack of units with supportive services Influences this program. Based upon
Homeless Special
consultations with homeless housing and social service agencies, a need for
Needs
supportive housing has been identified as a priority. The special needs
households include those with disabilities as well as dysfunctional households
facing a variety of issues. Market characteristics impacting this priority relate to
the shortage of privately -owned housing units which are available to provide
supportive housing programs. This problem is intensified by the lack of public
funds.
New Unit
New construction opportunities in the area are very limited since the City of
Production
Miami Beach is largely built. The increasing demand for affordable housing,
coupled with the increasing demand for market rate housing, places pressure on
property owners to sell to purchasers that will develop higher end (through
demolition/rehabilitation) rather than affordable units. This continues to put
pressure on the two primary problems affecting the housing market, cost burden
and overcrowding. More so, the market -driven premium on construction costs in
the City due to location, building type and accessibility drive costs higher than the
mainland. Rents will not Financially Support the Cost of New Unit Production. A
shortage of affordable, decent housing units is an identified need. The market i
characteristics influencing this priority include the age and condition of the
existing housing stock without the rent levels to support rehabilitation. New
construction faces the same market conditions. The HOME program can provide
some resources to address this issue.
Rehabilitation
There is high demand in the rental market, which further drives up the cost
burden for housing. The City of Miami Beach is largely built out so new
construction opportunities are limited. The aging housing stock in the City make
the rehabilitation of existing housing stock a priority. Rents will not financially
support the cost of major rehabilitation projects similar to the new unit
production priority discussed above, the achievable rents and income levels in
the City often result in rehabilitation in the private marketplace to be financially
infeasible.

matching requirements will be satisfied
The City of Miami Beach will use a combination of public and private funding to carry out activities identified in this plan. During this Consolidated
Plan period, the City will research opportunities to apply for additional funding streams which are consistent with the goals of the Consolidated
Plan. Miami Beach will continue to leverage additional financial resources including SHIP, Miami -Dade County Surtax, and Redevelopment Agency
funds as well as investigate other sources of funding that are consistent with the goals of the 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan. The City will collaborate
by working with community partners and non-profit organizations to encourage leveraging of available funding sources and strengthen capacity
building.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs
identified in the plan
The City owns the properties five affordable housing properties which address the low -to moderate -income housing needs in the plan. More so,
the City has been exploring the incorporation of affordable and workforce housing within public parking garages that are slated for construction
in the near future as the absence of available lots for construction create a major development hurdle.

SP-40 Institutional Delivery Structure — 91.215(k)
Explain the institutional structure through which the jurisdiction will carry out its consolidated plan
including private industry, non-profit organizations, and public institutions.
The successful delivery of affordable housing is dependent upon strong players in the public sector,
private industry, and among non-profit housing producing organizations. A successful affordable housing
strategy also requires productive linkages between various partners. The private sector often needs public
sector gap financing for affordable housing development to take place, and the public sector needs to
access private resources that leverage more abundant private resources. Public sector partners often
need information and linkages to provide a continuum of service for their clients. Likewise, nonprofit
partners need administrative funds and steady resources to focus more on neighborhood -based services.
Affordable housing development requires network arrangements between the public and private sector
as well.
Public Structure
The City will continue to serve as a provider of federal and local governmental resources, a monitor of
programs and projects, and an evaluator/reporter of accomplishments. The City of Miami Beach is
committed to developing affordable housing and maintaining existing affordable housing. The City
continues to administer programs for home acquisition and rehabilitation funded by federal and local
dollars.
Private sector Involvement
The City collaborates with private sector partners to produce affordable housing opportunities. The City
has revised many of its housing policies and programs in response to private sector recommendations and
the City looks to continue developing these over the next five years. Private developers have specifically
stated that the City could consider improving the permitting process in development of affordable
housing, reducing impact fees for affordable housing developments, and the reduction of waste
management fees. The City will continue meetings with real estate professionals, housing developers,
lenders, and other private sector parties continue to help the City better understand private participation
in publicly assisted housing programs. The City of Miami Beach has had success in producing affordable
housing programs and projects that were largely privately financed. New collaborative arrangements are
also shaping future housing development that will be privately sponsored and address the needs of low -
and moderate -income individuals and families.
Non-profit structure
The City of Miami Beach has several non-profit community -based organizations that provide affordable
housing. These organizations take the delivery of services to the grassroots/neighborhood level. The
organizations typically have recruited individuals, neighborhood groups, churches, and neighborhood
businesses to provide input to the development and retention of affordable housing. Additionally,
organized groups of nonprofit organizations coordinate to educate themselves, share resources, and
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 95
OMB Control No: 2506-0117(exp. O9/3O/2021)

leverage funds with other nonprofit groups. The City of Miami Beach seeks to involve nonprofit
organizations in its planning efforts and to provide funding for their projects.

Table 50 - Institutional Delivery Structure
Assess of Strengths and Gaps in the Institutional Delivery System
The City relies on a network of public sector, private sector, and non-profit organizations to implement
the strategic plan. Over the next five years, the City expects to overcome gaps in the institutional structure
and delivery system by training and building capacity for non-profit organizations, monitoring to improve
program performance, and encouraging collaboration among agencies.

The City of Miami Beach works collaboratively with partners throughout the community and maintains
strong communication and partnerships with many local organizations including state and local
government agencies, as well as other service providers to coordinate the delivery of services to City
residents. Community Services Department consulted with various housing, social services, elderly, and
disability agencies to data and identify service gaps. Organizations noted the following strengths and gaps
in the City's institutional delivery system:
Strengths:
• High level of coordination among partner agencies
• Robust outreach to vulnerable residents
• Cultivation of new partners to provide services
• Reliable food service assistance
• Services are welcoming and inclusive
Gaps:
• No diversity in housing choices; most units are 1 bedroom. Residents have echoed the need for
larger units to accommodate families and zero -bedroom units to accommodate very low-income
seniors.
• Bus routes do not coincide with work hours; 24-7 trolley hours
• Not enough resources for seniors who may experience loneliness, food insecurity, and social
isolation.
• Not enough wrap -around services

Table 51- Homeless Prevention Services Summary
Describe how the service delivery system including, but not limited to, the services listed above
meet the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and
families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth)
As a member of the Miami -Dade County Continuum of Care, the City of Miami Beach coordinates with
CoC providers to meet the needs of the homeless within the community. Miami Beach, like much of the
country, has a significant number of homeless people and also has significant resources and networks to
serve its population. The City is still making progress in reducing its overall daily homeless population.
The City still has access to 55 beds funded by the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust and purchases an
additional 68 beds from four (4) shelters and treatment centers: The Salvation Army, Miami Rescue
MissionCamillus House, Sundari Foundation (Lotus House), and New Hope CORPS. While the City does not
control service provision for the Trust -funded beds, the City requires shelters and treatment centers to
provide care coordination services with City -purchased beds ensuring that clients are provided the tools
and support to successfully transition to sustainable independence.
As a condition of service within the CoC, clients must have a Homeless Verification Form completed by
staff certifying that the client is homeless based on the selected HUD criteria and documentation provided
by the client. The certification accompanies the client's placement into shelter as well as referrals to all
CoC services. In order to certify a person as homeless, the client must submit documentation that proves
his homelessness (i.e., eviction papers) or must be witnessed by City staff (including police) residing in a
place not meant for human habitation (i.e., the streets). Also, prior to the receipt of services, the CoC
requires that all clients complete several documents authorizing the provision of services including:
• HMIS (Homeless Management Information System) Notice of Uses and Disclosures
• HMIS Consent to Release and Exchange of Information
• Provider (City) Consent to Release and Exchange of Information
• Acknowledgment Client Rights and Responsibilities
• Acknowledgement of Grievance Procedures
• HUD Client Questionnaire
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 98
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 476 of 1808
Once the client completes the required documentation, staff conduct a criminal background check to
ensure that clients are not registered as sexual offenders (as this would preclude their placement in
shelter or relocation) and an assets and skills assessment to determine the resources and strategies that
will be pursued to ensure the client's transition to permanent housing and independence. The paperwork
and assessment process can take up to three hours depending on the client's cognition and participation.
This process becomes the foundation for the provision of services and the client's ultimate success.
The City contracts with several shelter providers. These providers must review their respective client bed
rosters and advise the City if any clients have exited their program by 9am each weekday. Once the City
has identified a client for placement, a formal request is sent to the shelter provider seeking permission
to place the client. All shelters must provide prior consent to client placement. This process usually takes
up to one hour enabling providers to review their records and the client's history to determine if he/she
is a suitable placement. Shelters reserve the right to refuse placement of any client who has had previous
behavioral problems or whose history they feel is incompatible with its environment.
Once the documentation is complete and the shelter consents to receiving the client, the client is
transported to shelter. All emergency shelter providers are located in Miami. Staff's goal is to make the
first drop-off of the day to shelters by noon so that clients can have a meal upon arrival. All shelter
placements should be completed by 3pm as shelter administrative offices typically close by 4pm. The time
of shelter clearance and traffic impact the actual time of arrival to shelter and return to the office. On at
least two instances last year, staff had to leave early to accommodate simultaneous shelter placements
at multiple providers and relocations at the Greyhound Bus Depot in Miami.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.215(h)
Barriers to Affordable Housing
This section of the plan explains whether the cost of housing or the incentives to develop, maintain, or
improve affordable housing is affected by policies that may affect land and other property, zoning
ordinances, building codes, growth limits, and policies that affect the return on residential investment.
These issues are presented based on programmatic experience, and previous analyses, and were explored
as part of the City of Miami Beach's Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice Plan completed in
2019.
The City noted the following barriers to affordable housing in the Al:
• The need for ongoing Fair Housing Education & Outreach efforts to reach the City's growing,
diverse population
■ A strongly segregated housing market
■ A shortage of (and barriers to) affordable housing & homeownership
■ Issues affecting people with disabilities and homeless persons
■ lending disparities
■ Violations of federal, state, and local fair housing laws in the jurisdiction and immediate
surrounding areas
Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing
The City's Al noted multiple factors, including governmental policies and actions to expand affordable
housing options in exclusive neighborhoods by exploring inclusionary zoning strategies. Other factors also
included providing fair housing training at housing -related workshops, to City's governing body, and to all
employees. Support and fund pre- and post -purchase counseling, down payment, and closing cost
assistance mechanisms for residents. Support and monitor the Housing Authority of the City of Miami
Beach's ongoing effort to comply with Section 504 requirements to significantly increase the quality and
quantity of accessible housing units throughout the jurisdiction. The City will also continue to educate
residents through first-time homebuyer workshops on identifying predatory lending practices and where
to receive assistance if victimized by predatory lending practices.

SP-60 Homelessness Strategy — 91.215(d)
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City's homeless strategy collaboratively addresses the essential needs of homeless and other special
needs populations. The goal is to invest in activities that lead people experiencing homelessness to
permanent housing as quickly as possible while offering a variety of intervention options that provide
options to address the different needs. Such interventions include rapid rehousing, permanent supportive
housing, immediate access to low -barrier emergency shelter; intensive service -focused recovery housing
programs; transitional housing options for special needs populations (especially households fleeing
domestic violence, youth and youth adults, and people with substance use issues); diversion programs.
The City of Miami Beach collaborates with the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust and its Continuum of
Care providers to strengthen the homeless governance structure and ensure services are provided to
these populations.
Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City will continue to support organizations that address the emergency shelter and transitional
housing needs of the homeless to establish a more robust social service system. The Miami -Dade County
Homeless Trust serves as the lead agency for Miami -Dade County's Homeless Continuum of Care (CoC),
responsible for the oversight, planning, and operations of the entire CoC. Since emergency shelters in the
community do not take walk-ins, the Miami -Dade County Homeless County CoC operates a Homeless
Helpline to identify persons experiencing homelessness. The following organizations serves persons
seeking emergency shelter, treatment services, and transitional housing needs in the City:
• Camillus House for Single Males and Single Females
• Miami Rescue Mission for Single Males
• The Salvation Army for Single Males, Single Females Families w/Children
• The Sundari Foundation, dba Lotus House for Single Females and Children
• New Hope CORPS, treatment services for Single Males
Homeless Trust also houses homeless or formerly homeless persons. In 2023 was selected to receive a
$21 million HUD CoC grant to help reduce that number through significantly enhanced street outreach
and get chronically homeless individuals housed. Shelter and homeless services include food assistance,
shower services, and mail services for unsheltered homeless persons.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again.
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 105
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 483 of 1808
The City will continue to support the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust in reducing the amount of time
that individuals and families (chronically homeless, families with children, veterans and their families, and
unaccompanied youth) experience homelessness. The Miami -Dade Homeless Continuum of Care
implements a housing first model that works to connect people as quickly as possible to permanent
housing and the care and support they need to stabilize and improve their quality of life. The primary
goals are to help people obtain permanent housing as quickly as possible, increase their self-sufficiency,
and remain stably housed.
Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-
income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from
a publicly funded institution or system of care, or who are receiving assistance from public and
private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth
needs
The main need is to link people with available housing opportunities as quickly as possible and support
them in accessing subsidies and increasing their income to help them sustain their housing long-term. The
City's Outreach teams coordinate with hospitals, courts, and other institutions to coordinate and plan the
discharge of persons experiencing homelessness. Additionally, the Miami Date Homeless Trust also
collaborates closely with a number of organizations which offer primary care, behavioral health, career,
and other services for persons experiencing homelessness, which includes the Jackson Health Systems,
Camillus Health Concern, Community Health of South Florida, and Veterans Affairs Administration.
During the next year, the City will continue to:
• Improve coordination between mental health, physical health, and criminal justice systems to
identify people at risk of homelessness and link them with supports to prevent them from
becoming literally homeless after discharge.
• Work with the local and state Department of Children Services and support them in their effort
to expand services for youth existing foster care.
• Assist in the identification of available prevention programs and development of a gaps analysis
that allows us to create a homeless prevention plan in the coming years.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards — 91.215(i)
Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards
The City will continue to implement countermeasures to minimize exposure of lead -based paint hazards
found in existing housing built prior to 1978 through the City administered housing program. The City
provides lead -based paint disclosures, brochures and testing for households living in units built prior to
1978. According to the 2021 Census ACS estimates, a total of 30,121 homes (73.8%) of the City's housing
stock was built prior to 1978 that may have the potential to contain lead -based paint.
How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards?
Lead poisoning is the leading environmental hazard to children, creating devastating and irreversible
health problems. The primary cause of lead poisoning is exposure to dust from deteriorating paint in
homes constructed before 1978. This is due to high lead content used in paint during that period, and
particularly in homes built before 1950. Pre-1978 housing occupied by lower income households with
children offers particularly high risks of lead exposure because lower income households are generally
more likely to live in units with deferred maintenance. This is an important factor because it is not the
lead paint itself that causes hazards, but rather the deterioration of the paint that releases lead
contaminated dust and flakes that may be inhaled or eaten by small children.
Lead hazard abatement is an eligible activity under both the HOME and CDBG programs for projects
involving repair or rehabilitation of housing. Both programs provide guidance regarding required steps to
evaluate, address and/or abate lead, safe work practices, and notification procedures. The programs also
require that funding recipients provide written notification to tenants and potential homebuyers
regarding the dangers of lead -based paint poisoning, and all members of households benefiting from
repair or rehabilitation must read and sign the lead hazard notification and disclosures.
How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures?
An important initiative emanating from HUD in the last three decades is the reduction of lead -based paint
hazards, and many jurisdictions around the country have focused on reaching this goal. The federal
Residential Lead -Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992 (Title X of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1992) amends the Lead -Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act of 1971, which is the
law covering lead -based paint in federally funded housing. These laws and subsequent regulations issued
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (24 CFR part 35) protect young children from
lead -based paint hazards in housing that is financially assisted or being sold by the federal government.
The City is committed to testing and abating lead in all pre-1978 housing units assisted with federal grant
funds in any of the housing programs it implements. These actions are consistent with the City's goal of
delivering decent and safe housing for low -and moderate -incomes households.

SP-70 Anti -Poverty Strategy — 91.2150)
Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty -level Families
The City's anti -poverty strategy focuses on helping all low-income households improve their economic
status and remain above poverty levels. This may include, but is not limited to, funding essential services
such as rent, utility and food assistance for those in poverty to prevent homelessness. The City will also
continue its collaborative efforts with local nonprofits to fund public service activities to address housing
stability which may consist of childcare subsides, youth tutoring programs, and counseling programs. The
City will also continue to utilize grant funds to support its housing programs and activities to increase
development of affordable housing to address poverty by creating housing opportunities for low-income
households. Without these housing opportunities, many low-income households would not be able to
afford housing rehabilitation costs or to purchase a home.
How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this
affordable housing plan?
The discussion of housing needs shows that the crucial difference between households with needs and
those without needs is income. For households with severely restricted incomes, little discretionary
income remains after paying monthly housing costs. One of the objectives of the Consolidated Plan is to
encourage new construction of affordable multifamily rental units. Affordable housing will provide the
potential to decrease housing costs and allocate more funds to food, clothing, heath care, children's
needs, savings, and personal and economic development.
Similarly, the goal of providing home rehabilitation and emergency repair to low-income households
would allow these families to re -allocate money that would otherwise be spent on maintenance to secure
housing. Additionally, making needed home repairs will lower utility costs and help maintain the existing
housing stock for future generations. By addressing risks posed by lead -based paint using HUD -funded
programs, health care risks, particularly risks for young children, will be reduced.
The City will continue to partner with multiple agencies to examine and evaluate policies to eliminate
barriers to education and employment. Increasing the number of adults with living wage jobs reduces
poverty, increases stability and quality of life, and lessens demand for subsidized housing.

To ensure that each recipient of CDBG and HOME funds operates in compliance with applicable federal
laws and regulations, the City of Miami Beach implements a monitoring strategy that closely reviews
subrecipient activities and provides extensive technical assistance to prevent potential compliance issues.
Each subrecipient agency will be monitored to determine if the funds provided to the organization are
expended appropriately. Monitoring includes on -site visits, evaluations, and financial record reviews.
The City will monitor sub -recipients for long term compliance with requirements of the CDBG and HOME
programs. Each year a desk audit, risk assessment, and on -site monitoring is conducted for every activity
and sub -recipient. In addition, technical assistance workshops are provided each year and a copy of
"Playing by the Rules" is provided to each sub -recipient at the time of funding contract execution. The
subrecipient will receive written notification of violations and/or the City's determination s and necessary
corrective actions.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state, and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied
The City of Miami Beach will use a combination of public and private funding to carry out activities identified in this Action Plan. During FY2023,
the City will research opportunities to apply for additional funding streams consistent with the Consolidated Plan's goals. Currently, the City uses
other grant resources to offset funding reductions through its HUD CPD program funding. The City also works with various non-profit organizations
to encourage leveraging of available funding sources and strengthen organizational capacity.
The HOME program requires a 25% match of the total HOME funds expended for project costs. This matching requirement is met by requiring
subrecipients to provide a 25% match on projects, through sponsorships from local businesses, waived County fees, donated land or
improvements, volunteer hours, donated materials, or other eligible methods outlined in the HOME regulations. As a requirement, HOME
subrecipients submit a match log that identifies the sources of match funds from each fiscal year. Historically, match amounts for HOME
subrecipients have far exceeded the 25% annual contributions requirements stipulated by HOME program regulations. Additionally, the City
leverages its HOME funding through other grant programs such as SHIP, Miami -Dade County Surtax, and Redevelopment Agency funds.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs
identified in the plan.
The City owns the properties listed below that will be used to address Affordable Housing Improvement Projects identified in the plan:
• The Lottie Apartments located at 530 75th Street, Miami Beach, FL 33141
• The Madeleine Village Apartments located at 7861-7871 Crespi Boulevard, Miami Beach, FL 33141
• The Neptune Apartments located at 1632 Meridian Avenue, Miami Beach, FL 33139
• The London House Apartments located at 1975 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
• The Corals Apartment is located at 795 81st St., Miami Beach, FL 33141

The City's overall vision of providing neighborhoods with affordable, safe, and decent housing continues
to be a long-term goal that requires a more diverse collaboration with local CHDO's, community partners,
foundations, and others with a focus on common objectives and goals.
Barriers that inhibit our ability to complete our goals include:
• High impact and waste management fees for affordable housing development is cost prohibitive.
• Limited funding and the high cost of real estate values and limited property availability within the
City.
• Lengthy permitting process inhibits affordability.
• Limited long-term, community -based residential options with supportive services for those who
need help with daily living activities, housekeeping, self -care, human services, and other
assistance.
• Limited community development partners and CHDO's with the capacity to develop affordable
housing within target areas and defined timeframes; and
• Inability of program recipients to acquire gap funding from additional financial resources for
construction and rehabilitation projects.

The City of Miami Beach receives entitlement program funds directly from HUD and assistance will be
provided in low-income census tracts throughout the City and directly to low and moderate -income
residents through its public service programs.
Geographic Distribution
ICitywide ��809F
Table 56 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The City of Miami Beach covers just over 15 square miles, and the highest areas of poverty are
concentrated in the North and South Beach area. The City relies on widely accepted data such as American
Community Survey, HUD's low- and moderate -income summary data, and Federal Financial Institutions
Examinations Council's (FFIEC) data to determine areas throughout the community with concentrations
of low and moderate -income communities. Program resources are allocated citywide based on low -mod
areas which often coincide with areas of minority concentration.

AP-60 Public Housing— 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City will continue to support the efforts of the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach (HACMB)
to address the needs of public housing residents by offering down -payment assistance programs to
eligible public housing residents. The HACMB operates as a U.S. HUD -designated High Performer and
currently administers 3,642 vouchers from the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher and the HUD-VASH
Programs and manages 200 public housing units. The HUD-VASH program operated by the HACMB has
emerged as the most prominent and largest in South Florida. As part of this growing effort to serve
veterans in the community, the HACMB has implemented a HUD-VASH program under an agreement
with the Key West/Monroe County Housing Authority. The HACMB also operates a Family Self Sufficiency
(FSS) Program, including the Section 8 Homeownership component through which FSS participants have
become first-time homeowners.
Actions planned during the next year to address the need to public housing
The HACMB's 2023 PH Action Plan notes that they conduct a Capital Fund Program for the Rebecca Towers
South complex for facility improvements and operations.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in the management
and participate in homeownership
HACMB provides multiple outlets for public housing residents to be involved. Public housing residents
(each adult family member) must contribute eight hours per month of community service and participate
in an economic self-sufficiency program. With the economic self-sufficiency program in place, MHA
encourages its residents to participate in activities promoting economic stability that could lead to
homeownership.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
According to HUD's Public Housing Agency Score (PHAS), the HACMB scored a 94 and is designated a high
performer and is not considered by HUD to be troubled or poorly performing.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
This section describes the one-year goals and activities for the City of Miami Beach in assessing and serving
the needs for homeless persons and special needs populations. The City's homeless strategy
collaboratively addresses the essential needs for homeless and other special needs populations. The goal
is to invest in activities that lead people experiencing homelessness to permanent housing as quickly as
possible while offering a variety of intervention options that provide options to address the different
needs. Such interventions include rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, immediate access to
low -barrier emergency shelter; intensive service -focused recovery housing programs; transitional housing
options for special needs populations (especially households fleeing domestic violence, youth and youth
adults, and people with substance use issues); diversion programs. The City of Miami Beach collaborates
with the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust and its Continuum of Care providers to strengthen the
homeless governance structure and ensure services are provided to these populations.
Describe the jurisdiction's one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing
their individual needs
The City's Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST) continually engages persons experiencing
homelessness where they are sleeping, resting, and panhandling. The team is trained to engage people
from an assessment -driven approach that is sensitive to mental illness and addiction issues. The outreach
team conducts missions during daytime hours as well as responding to online service requests via the
city's eGov application. During the next year, the City will continue to embark on unified outreach missions
in collaboration with other City departments (including Police, Fire, Parks & Recreation, Facilities
Management, Environment and Sustainability, Code Compliance, Public Works, and Sanitation) to ensure
persons experiencing homelessness or may need assistance are provided essential resources.
The city'smunicipal walk-in center is, located at 771 17 Street. It is a fixed place where people wanting
help can access professional, courteous support to leave the street behind. HOST services include:
• Emergency shelter (men, women, and children) with Care Coordination services tailored to
each client's individual strengths and needs. The city contracts with 4 shelter providers to
ensure that the most appropriate placement is made for each person.
• Care Coordination services.
• Application assistance for all entitlements including disability and SNAP benefits.
• Identification documentation replacement (including birth certificates, government -issued
ID, work permits and driver's license).
• lob placement and on -site temporary employment.
• Family reunification/relocation services (providing relocation to any location in the
contiguous U.S. where someone is willing and able to provide shelter and support).
• Mental health screening and services.
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 123
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Page 501 of 1808
• Coordination of voluntary treatment services for mental health and co-occurring disorders.
• Rapid re -housing services including rental assistance and security deposit.
• Referrals to legal service agencies
• Homeless Veteran services
• Transportation to day treatment services including showers and hot meals
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City will continue to support organizations that address the emergency shelter and transitional
housing needs of persons experiencing homelessness to establish a more robust social service system.
The Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust serves as the lead agency for Miami -Dade County's Homeless
Continuum of Care (CoC), responsible for the oversight, planning and operations of the entire CoC. Since
emergency shelters in the community do not take walk-ins, the Miami -Dade County Homeless County CoC
operates a Homeless Helpline to identify persons experiencing homelessness. Persons seeking emergency
shelter, treatment services, and transitional housing needs in the City are served by the following
organizations:
Camillus House for Single Males and Single Females
• Miami Rescue Mission for Single Males
• The Salvation Army for Single Males, Single Females, Families w/Children
• The Sundari Foundation, dba Lotus House for Single Females and Children
• New Hope CORPS, treatment services for Single Males
Homeless Trust also houses homeless or formerly homeless persons and in 2023 was selected to receive
a $21 million HUD CoC grant to help reduce that number through significantly enhanced street outreach
and get chronically homeless individuals housed. Shelter and homeless services include food assistance,
shower services and mail services for unsheltered homeless persons.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City will continue to support the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust in reducing the amount of time
that individuals and families (chronically homeless, families with children, veterans and their families, and
unaccompanied youth) experience homelessness. The Miami -Dade Homeless Continuum of Care
implements a Housing First model that works to connect people as quickly as possible to permanent
housing and the care and support they need to stabilize and improve their quality of life. The primary
goals are to help people obtain permanent housing as quickly as possible, increase their self-sufficiency,
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 124
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) page 502 of 1808
and remain stably housed.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded
institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster
care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs
The main need is to link people with available housing opportunities as quickly as possible and support
them in accessing subsidies and increasing their income to help them sustain their housing long-term. The
City's Outreach teams coordinate with hospitals, courts, and other institutions to coordinate and plan the
discharge of persons experiencing homelessness. Additionally, the Miami Date Homeless Trust also
collaborates closely with a number of organizations which offer primary care, behavioral health, career,
and other services for persons experiencing homelessness, which includes the Jackson Health Systems,
Camillus Health Concern, Community Health of South Florida, and Veterans Affairs Administration.
During the next year, the City will continue to:
• Improve coordination between mental health, physical health, and criminal justice systems to
identify people at risk of homelessness and link them with supports to prevent them from
becoming literally homeless after discharge.
• Work with the local and state Department of Children Services and support them in their effort
to expand services for youth existing foster care.
• Assist in the identification of available prevention programs and development of a gaps analysis
that allows us to create a homeless prevention plan in the coming years.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction:
Market data and stakeholder input both suggest a tight housing market in the City, with low vacancy rates
and increasing housing costs. While the market depends largely on the private sector to provide housing,
there are roles the City and others can play through policy and regulation that may encourage greater
private investment in new housing development in the City.
Several aspects of the City's zoning code could potentially have a negative effect on housing development.
For example, the City may want to consider adopting means to allow more flexibility in density and
affordable housing development by carving out additional residential zoning districts or subdistricts that
allow for a greater mix of housing types, lower minimum lot sizes, and higher multifamily density, and
other alternatives such as relaxing the infill residential development standards, providing for cluster
developments, density blending, and transfer of development rights in appropriate locations. Permitting
or incentivizing conversion of single-family dwellings in high opportunity intown neighborhoods to two-
family, 3-family, or multifamily dwellings on large lots also is a strategic way to address the need for more
density and infill development in established neighborhoods.
Moreover, the City's land use regulations could go beyond just meeting the minimum FHA standards and
affirmatively further and incentivize the development of affordable housing with inclusionary zoning
policies. These zoning tools could potentially allow for more supply of housing, which helps put downward
pressure on rental and sale prices, so that moderate and low-income families have access to those
neighborhoods and all the congruent benefits that come with higher opportunity areas such as access to
jobs, better schools, access to transportation, and access to cultural amenities and public
accommodations.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City's Al noted multiple factors, including governmental policies and actions to expand affordable
housing options in exclusive neighborhoods by exploring inclusionary zoning strategies. Other factors also
included providing fair housing training at housing related workshops, to City's governing body and to all
employees. Support and fund pre- and post -purchase counseling and down payment and closing cost
assistance mechanisms for residents. Support and monitor the Housing Authority of the City of Miami
Beach's on -going effort to comply with Section 504 requirements to significantly increase the quality and
quantity of accessible housing units throughout the jurisdiction. The City will also continue to educate
residents through first-time homebuyer workshops on the identification of predatory lending practices
and where to receive assistance if victimized by predatory lending practices.

AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
This section details the City's actions planned to ensure safe and affordable housing for its residents, along
with plans to meet underserved needs, reduce poverty, develop institutional structure, and enhance
coordination between public and private sector housing and community development agencies.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City will work with its community partners to assist low- and moderate -income residents in meeting
underserved needs consisting of employment services, childcare, health services, substance abuse
counseling and treatment, education programs, services for senior citizens, services for people
experiencing homelessness, and fair housing training.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
The City will continue to foster and maintain the current affordable housing stock by utilizing CDBG,
HOME and/or SHIP funds for owner -occupied rehabilitation and first-time homebuyer programs. The City
will also expand its efforts to actively pursue other funding mechanism and partnerships for the
development of affordable housing to leverage limited public dollars.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
The City will continue to implement countermeasures to minimize exposure of lead -based paint hazards
found in existing housing built prior to 1978 through the City administered housing program. The City will
provide all rehab clients and potential clients with the "Lead -Based Paint" pamphlet that describes
hazards of lead -based paint. Pursuant to 24 CFR Part 35, all rental and homeowner dwelling units that
wish to receive federal assistance and were built prior to 1978 are tested for lead -based paint. (These
tests consist of visual inspections, lead screens, and full assessments. Additionally, when properties test
positive for LPB hazards, interim controls are performed, and LBP clearances are provided.)
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
There are a variety of actions the City undertakes throughout the year in an effort to reduce the number
of poverty -level families and increase self-sufficiency. The programs funded through CDBG and/or HOME
to address this goal includes youth programs, senior assistance programs, and emergency services (i.e.,
rent, mortgage, and utility assistance programs. The City's anti -poverty strategy focuses on helping all
low-income households improve their economic status and remain above poverty levels.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
City staff works throughout the year to increase institutional structure, both within the City and
throughout our partner agencies. This is accomplished through providing technical assistance on federal
grant management requirements, such as growing their knowledge of Davis -Bacon requirements,
financial management and other grant management procedures. Staff maintains contact with partner
Consolidated Plan MIAMI BEACH 127
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Page 505 of 1808
agencies throughout the year, offering referrals for funding and training opportunities where appropriate.
During the next Consolidated Plan period, the City's Office of Housing & Community Services will continue
to assist nonprofit/social service providers, the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach, and various
other community -based organizations to provide training and technical assistance to subrecipients. The
City will also work to streamline the procurement process and ensure HOME funds are set aside for
development of affordable housing.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City is heavily invested in collaborations throughout the community and has successfully paired with
multiple service providers to achieve its goals of providing affordable, safe, and decent housing. This
collaboration has allowed the City, public agencies, and service providers of the Miami Beach Service
Partnership to better serve the needs of underserved residents. The City will also continue to further its
initiative to leverage funding to increase opportunities for low- and moderate- income residents to receive
necessary services and have access to affordable housing options.
