ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The Five-Year Consolidated Plan is a federal requirement for all U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) entitlement cities. The City of Miami Beach is a HUD-designated
entitlement city, as determined by the decennial census information on population growth lag, over-
crowding, age of housing stock, and poverty. The City of Miami Beach has been a Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement community since 1975. As an entitlement city, the
City of Miami Beach automatically qualifies for an annual allocation of federal funding under HUD's
grant programs. The annual allocation offunds, or One-Year Action Plan, is one component of the
Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
FIVE· YEAR CONSOLIDATED PLAN
The current Five-Year (FY 2008-2012) Consolidated Plan was prepared in 2008 was prepared by a
consultant at the cost of $35,000. In 2011, in preparation of the upcoming next five-year cycle,
representatives of US HUD announced that the next round of five-year plans were to be created
using HUD's Integrated Disbursement Information System (I DIS) program. Consequently, city staff
attended HUD training and webinars. The attached proposed Five-Year (FY 2013-2017)
Consolidated Plan was prepared by city staff using the I DIS program, as required. The proposed
Five-Year (FY 2013-2017) Consolidated Plan is the City of Miami Beach's long-term plan on how it
intends to use federal CDBG and HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) entitlement funds
for fiscal years 2013/14 through 2017/18. This plan has been prepared in accordance with HUD's
national guidelines and describes our community needs, resources, priorities, and proposed

activities to be undertaken with CDBG and HOME funding. This document must be submitted to
HUD by August 15,2013. Actual detailed implementation strategies are not reflected in Five-Year
Consolidated Plans, but are left to individual jurisdictions to undertake as outlined and adopted in the
One-Year Action Plan, a HUD requirement which outlines the entitlement community's housing and
non-housing community development needs, priorities, and proposed use of funds for the ensuing
program year.
As an entitlement community, funding comes to the City's Housing and Community Development
Division to "develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living
environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for low-income and moderate
income persons." The HOME Program, also funded by HUD, was started in 1992 to provide a block
grant specifically for affordable housing. HUD allocates these funds "to strengthen public/private
partnerships and to expand the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing with primary
attention to rental housing, for very low-income families." CDBG funds have been primarily used to
provide vital public services, housing activities, code enforcement, public facilities, youth centers,
and senior centers, while HOME funds have been used for affordable rental housing activities and
first time homeownership opportunities.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the attached
resolution adopting the City's Five-Year (FY2013-2017) Consolidated Plan in substantially the

ES-05 Executive Summary
1. Introduction
The City of Miami Beach's FY 2013-2017 Consolidated Plan represents and summarizes the objectives
and outcomes identified by citizens, advisory committees, public service providers, community
development corporations and City staff.
The overall goal of the community planning and development programs covered by this plan is to
develop and redevelop viable urban communities by:
1. Providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities
principally for low-and moderate-income persons. The primary means towards this end is to extend and
strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and
non-profit organizations, in the production and operation of affordable housing.
Decent housing includes assisting homeless persons to obtain appropriate housing and assisting persons
at risk of becoming homeless; retention of the affordable housing stock; and increasing the availability
of permanent housing in standard condition and affordable cost to low-income and moderate-income
families, particularly to members of disadvantaged minorities, without discrimination on the basis of
race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability. Decent housing also includes
increasing the supply of supportive housing, which combines structural features and services needed to
enable persons with special needs, including persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, to live with
dignity and independence; and providing housing affordable to low-income persons accessible to job
opportunities.
2.) Providing a suitable, sustainable living environment includes improving the safety and livability of
neighborhoods; increasing access to quality public and private facilities and services; reducing the
isolation of income groups within a community or geographical area through the spatial
deconcentration of housing opportunities for persons of lower income and the revitalization of
deteriorating or deteriorated neighborhoods; restoring and preserving properties of special historic,
architectural, or aesthetic value; and conservation of energy resources.
3.) Expanding economic opportunities includes job creation and retention; establishment, stabilization
and expansion of small businesses (including microbusinesses); the provision of public services
concerned with employment; the provision of jobs involved in carrying out activities under programs
covered by this plan to low-income persons living in areas affected by those programs and activities;
availability of mortgage financing for low-income persons at reasonable rates using nondiscriminatory

Boys and Girls Club Center is being built in the South Beach Target Area. In order to meet the needs of
low and moderate income seniors, the Jewish Community Services Senior Center is being renovated and

PR-10 Consultation 1. Introduction The City consulted with the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC), the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee (AHAC), City departments, subrecipients, the Miami-County Homeless Trust to identify high priority housing and community development needs. 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 The City enhanced coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies by meeting with the following entities: • Housing Providers • The Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach • Miami Beach CDC • Douglas Gardens • Public Service Providers • UNlOAD • Boys and Girls Clubs of Miami Dade County • Food for Life • Jewish Community Services • Little Havana Activities Nutrition Center • Homeless Service Providers • The Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust • Citrus Health Network, Inc.

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, it is comprised of a 27-member, broad-based membership, including the City of Miami Beach, representing numerous sectors of our 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 year the Trust's CoC Sub-Committee identifies the community's homeless housing and services 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. This resulted in the following 2012 funding priorities: 1) Permanent housing for individuals or families experiencing chronic homelessness, veterans (individuals or families), and families with children. 2) Transitional Housing for -individuals or families experiencing chronic homelessness, veterans (individuals or families), and families with children. 3) Safe Havens, 4) Services Only-including outreach and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). The City of Miami Beach, Homeless Services Division provides homeless outreach, partially funded by the Trust, to those homeless in the City of Miami Beach 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 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, Housing First permanent housing program for the chronically homeless to be placed directly into 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 of Miami Beach does not receive ESG funding, but does coordinate with the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust to prioritize ESG objectives which currently are emergency shelter, homeless prevention and rapid re-housing. Priorities will be evaluated annually and take into account performance standards and outcomes. The Homeless Trust is currently developing a centralized assessment tool to capture data on all clients accessing services. 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.

Summary of Housing Needs
There are a total of 20,050 low to moderate-income households in Miami Beach, representing nearly
45% of the total households. Given the overall strength of property values, it creates significant cost
burden and overcrowding problems. Many large lower income households are forced into rental
communities with limited options for affordable units with 3 or more bedrooms. Data in this section has
been provided by US HUD. Once new data is made available, the Plan will be updated. Additional data is
provided by a Housing Study Update which was completed by a consultant in May, 2012.

What are the most common housing problems?
The most common housing problems are cost burden and overcrowding.
Affordability of available housing in both owner and rental markets is the most common problem.
Are any populations/household types more affected than others by these problems?
In Miami Beach lower income residents, larger families, elderly residents, and minorities are more
affected by housing problems. Neither renters nor owners are exempt from experiencing the affects of
housing cost burden. More than 25% of total households have an income cost burden greater than 30%;
and nearly 15% of households have an income cost burden greater than 50%.
Overcrowding is primarily experienced by renters. Most available affordable rental properties are
apartments/condominiums and are limited in square footage and the number of bedrooms.
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
Characteristics and needs of low income individuals and families with children who are currently housed
but are at imminent risk of either residing in shelters or becoming unsheltered include loss of
employment, underemployment and lack of access to affordable child care.
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:
Data sources to generate the estimates include the Continuum of Care Plan and HMIS reports.

increased risk of homelessness
Cost burden has been linked with instability and an increased risk of homelessness.

Discussion
It is important to stress that cost burden poses a significant deterrent to providing appropriate housing
for both renters and owners. Nearly 45% of all households are at or below 80% AMI and nearly 17% of
all households are at, or below, 30% AMI, represented by a significant number of elderly residents. Half
of the households at or below 30% AMI have a household member over 62 years of age; and 33% of
those households have a member over 75 years of age. This means a significant number of households
may be on fixed income and unable to keep up with the rising cost of properties.
Miami Beach has enjoyed a real estate market that has retained strong market values despite the
general downturn in the national real estate market. This fact creates limitations on homeownership
opportunities. Virtually all of the single-family homes are financially inaccessible by households that are
even at 100% AMI. Ownership is generally left to the acquisition of a condominium; and even that is
prohibitive in many of the properties. This issue has created a "double-edged sword" for the City as it
struggles with providing affordable housing without negatively impacting rising property values.
Overcrowding is also a housing problem on Miami Beach. This is a more significant problem in the rental
market than the ownership market. Many of the available rental multifamily properties on Miami Beach
are apartments or condominiums with limited square footage and bedrooms. Most are efficiencies, one,
and two-bedroom. This creates a significant problem for a large number of families that require 3 or
more bedrooms.

Introduction
There are two important factors when measuring affordability: income and housing price. Cost burden is
considered a problem when housing cost exceeds 30% of income, and a severe problem when the cost
burden exceeds SO%. According to the CHAS data, 2280S households experience housing cost burden,
which is SO% oftotal households.

NA-30 Disproportionately Greater Need: Discussion
Income categories in which a racial or ethnic group has disproportionately greater need
With regards to housing problems versus severe housing problems, the data delivers similar results for
each category on Miami Beach. The Hispanic population represents the largest share of the affected
population. This ethnic group comprises more that SO% of the total population of Miami Beach. Nearly
60% of Hispanics are impacted by at least one or more of the housing problems, which suggests that
housing has an overall impact on 35% of the City's total population, while considering only one ethnic
group. The only other large group is the White population, which comprises more than 30% of the total.
Its representation in the data with regards to being impacted by at least one housing problem is just
slightly more than its population size. The Black/African American population is the largest of the other
racial/ethnic groups, comprising about 4% of the total population, and representing approximately
3% of the population affected by at least one housing problem, depending on the percentage of AMI
level.

Section 504 Needs Assessment
Needs of public housing tenants and applicants on the waiting list for accessible units
The most immediate need is the availability of accessible units. The Rebecca Towers South development
contains ten Section 504 accessible units and is in compliance with Section 504 UFAS accessibility
requirements.
Most immediate needs of residents of Public Housing and Housing Choice voucher holders
The waiting list for Rebecca Towers South consists of 679 applicants, of which 99% are extremely low
income. The waiting list consists of 67 applicants with disabilities, equivalent to ten percent.
The waiting list for the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program consists of 1871 applicant
households.
How do these needs compare to the housing needs of the population at large
The public housing tenants/Housing Choice Voucher holders and applicants on the waiting list for
accessible units have a greater need than the population at large due to housing options limited by their
low incomes and the City's low vacancy rate.

NA-45 Non-Homeless Special Needs Assessment
Introduction
The Non-Homeless Needs Assessment describes:
• The characteristics of special needs populations;
• The housing and supportive needs of these population and how the needs are determined;
The characteristics of persons with HIV I AIDS.
Characteristics of Special Needs Populations
Characteristics of people with special needs populations include the following:
• Elderly
• Frail elderly
• Severe mental illness
• Developmentally disabled
• Physically disabled
• Persons with alcohol/other drug addictions
• Victims of domestic violence
• Persons with HIVIAIDS
Housing and Supportive Service Needs and Determination
Housing needs of these populations include affordable housing and ADA accessible housing. Supportive
services of these populations includes senior services, meals and other public service programs. The
housing and supportive service needs of these populations were determined by analysis of census, ACS
and CHAS data, consultations with CDAC, HACMB, and public service and affordable housing providers.
Public Size and Characteristics of Population with HIV I AIDS
Miami Dade County continually ranks in the top metropolitan statistical areas for HIVIAIDS incidence
and prevalence. The State of Florida CDC's most recent monthly surveillance report shows that Miami
Dade County reported 246 new HIV diagnoses in the first quarter of 2013 alone, up 17% from the first
quarter of 2012. Miami Dade County also reported 131 AIDS cases during that period, up 12% from the
first quarter of 2012. The CDC estimates that Miami Dade County was home to 26,456 persons living
with HIV I AIDS (PLWHAs) as of 212812013.
Within Miami Dade County, Miami Beach's 33139 zip code ranks in the top three zip codes of
highest reported HIV and AIDS cases through 2012. The Miami Dade County Health Department
estimated that there are between 1,006 -1,884 PLWHAs living in the Miami Beach area (33139); this
Consolidated Plan

represents between 3.8-7.1% of all PLWHA in Miami Dade County.[2] The same report estimates
another 194-384 PLWHAS in the 33140 zip code, for a total of between 1,200 and 2,268 PLWHAs in the
City of Miami Beach. According to the 2010 US Census QuickFacts for the City of Miami Beach, there
were an estimated 89,840 residents of the city in 2011.[3] Taken together, these numbers show that
PLWHAs represent between 1.3-2.5% of the population of Miami Beach.
Individuals living with HIV and AIDS are representative of the population as a whole, but some
groups are more at risk than others. These individuals have some unique social, demographic, and
economic characteristics which make them a special population with high need for social and
community services. The AIDS rate is declining over time while the HIV diagnosis rate remains constant;
this means that there are constantly increasing numbers of individuals who are living with HIV.[4]As of
2010 PLWHAs identified as 58% Black/African American, 33% Hispanic, 7% White and 2%
Discussion
The Non-Homeless Needs Special Needs Assessment has determined that there is a need for affordable
housing and supportive services. The City is partnering with the HACMB and public service and
affordable housing providers to address these needs. The City and its partners have developed
strategies and will leverage CDBG and HOME funds to address these needs.

Housing Market Analysis
MA-05 Overview
Housing Market Analysis Overview:
Miami Beach has experienced a more successful economic condition than many other South Florida
jurisdictions during the recent housing market crash and national recession. The housing market in
Miami Beach continues to experience growth in development, which points toward a clear sign of
market recovery. Most of the new starts, however, are in multi-family, condominium properties; in
many cases high end properties.
The slowdown in the housing market is the result of the tightening of credit and underwriting standards
and the sub-prime mortgage market crash, and the tightening of credit and underwriting of commercial
loans to real estate developers. Despite this downturn, the median home price is $374,600, which is well
above the national average. Median rent, based on the 2009 ACS data, is $887. This bodes well for the
rental apartment industry, as more households will opt for renting versus buying. However, this creates
upward pressure on rental rates, which results in fewer available affordable units. Larger households
and low-income households face problems with locating affordable units that meet their size and
income needs.

MA-10 Number of Housing Units
Introduction
The predominant type of housing in Miami Beach is multifamily; with properties of more than 20 units
representing 62% of total residences and properties with more than 5 units representing 82% of total
residences. When comparing tenure type, 62% of owners have units with 2 or more bedrooms, while
75% of renters have units with one or less bedrooms.

Number and Targeting of Units
Federal and State funding will target households with income up to 80% AMI; and State funding (up to
the maximum 30% of funds allocation) will target households with income up to 120% AMI.
Units Expected to be lost from Inventory
There is no expectation of a loss of existing affordable units. However, given the growing population,
coupled with a housing market that encourages the development of market-rate units; for the number
of affordable units to remain static will effectively create a reduction in overall units based on need.

Does the availability of housing units meet the needs of the population?
The shortage of housing that relieves the cost burden experienced by many households continues.
Likewise, overcrowding due to the lack of availability of larger (multi-bedroom) units is an unmet need.
Need for Specific Types of Housing
There is a need for units that relieve cost burden and overcrowding.
Discussion
Due to the current condition of the real estate market which places demand on high end properties, the
need for affordable units, particularly ones that meet the space requirements of larger low-income
families, will remain difficult to satisfy. The rental market, which many low-income families must rely on,
is feeling greater upward pricing pressure due to more families being forced out of the buying market
due to tighter credit standards and loan underwriting standards.
A summary of housing supply is:
• Low percentage of homeowners compared to the national average
• High vacancy rate, due in part to the nature of Miami Beach as an entertainment and vacation
destination
• Strong dominance in the housing mix by condominiums, particularly in residential towers
• Substantial share of housing units do not feature two or more bedrooms and thus are not ideal
for households with children
• Majority of the housing stock built prior to the 1970s but is steadily being rehabilitated or
replaced
• Only a very low number of housing units are in substandard condition
• Median condo and single-family home prices have declined significantly since 2008 but are now
recovering
• Median monthly rents are increasing and not affordable to a majority of Miami Beach residents
• The rate of home sales increased by 70 percent from 2008 to 2012,indicating healthy housing
demand
• Market Action Index of 18.67 indicates that Miami Beach is a buyer's market

MA-15 Cost of Housing
Introduction
As rents and home prices have continued to rise, the ability of a low-income household to find
affordable accommodations becomes significantly more difficult. To be considered affordable, the cost
of housing cannot exceed 30% of household income. For example: a household earning $25,000 per year
would be limited to monthly rent of $625, which is lower than the median rent of $887, and significantly
lower than the market rent of $1,122 for a two-bedroom unit.

Availability of Sufficient Housing
The increase in the availability of affordable housing will continue to be a need that is difficult to satisfy.
A strengthening real estate market puts upward pressure on rents and purchase prices and results in a
widening income gap.
Expected Change of Housing Affordability
Likewise, the affordability may diminish as rents/purchase prices continue to escalate while incomes
have minimal increases or remain static.
Rent Comparison
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 the family space needs.
For example: a household earning $25,000 per year would be limited to monthly rent of $625, which is
lower than the median rent of $887, and significantly lower than the market rent of $1,122 for a two-
bedroom unit. Therefore the deficit would be $262 and $497 when compared to the median rent and
market rent, respectively.
Discussion
Purchase price of single-family homes and condos in Miami Beach is out of reach for median earning
households and the median monthly rent in Miami Beach is also out of reach for all but those
households earning slightly more than the median income.

MA-20 Condition of Housing
Introduction
More than half of the housing stock was built between 1950 and 1979 which suggests that rehabilitation
is necessary, even in those properties that have been generally well maintained throughout the years.
This also suggests that there is a risk of lead-based paint existing in many of the properties.
Definitions
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
Based on the CHAS data, approximately 50% of both owner-occupied and renter-occupied properties
have identified at least one condition requiring rehabilitation. More than 50% of both the owner and
renter housing stock was built between 1950 and 1979, suggesting that even properties that are
generally well maintained would be in need of some form of rehabilitation.
Estimated Number of Housing Units Occupied by Low or Moderate Income Families with LBP
Hazards
Approximately 4,300 housing units have the potential of a LBP hazard,
Discussion
Based on the built-out condition of Miami Beach, coupled with the historic significance of many of the
properties, housing rehabilitation versus new construction is a high priority.

The City of Miami Beach, Homeless Services Division provides homeless outreach, partially funded by
the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust (Trust), to those homeless in the City of Miami Beach 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 low demand, Housing First permanent housing program
for the chronically homeless to be placed directly into from the street.
The City's homeless outreach teams also make direct referrals to the following agencies:
• Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health -provides comprehensive mental health services,
including case management and transitional and permanent housing to those chronically
homeless in Miami Beach.
• Jewish Community Services of South Florida, Inc. -H.O.P.E. Day Laborer Program-Job/Self-

Introduction
The City is funding the construction of a senior center in the North Beach Target Area that will provide
meals and services for extremely low income elderly. The City is also funding renovations to the Jewish
Community Services Senior Center located in the South Beach Target Area. The Center provides adult
day to seniors. Many of the seniors suffer from Alzheimer's. The City is also funding the Boy's Club Youth
Center which is also in the South Beach Target Area. Some of the youth that they serve have special
needs. The City has consulted with subrecipients that provide supportive housing, supportive services
and public services to persons with special needs. The City plans on funding these activities though an
annual Request for Application process.
Including the elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental),
persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, persons with HIV I AIDS and their families,
public housing residents and any other categories the jurisdiction may specify, and describe
their supportive housing needs
Supportive housing needs include case management, education, community building, advocacy, health
workshops and nutrition & healthy cooking classes.
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 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.
The Shelter Plus Care Program is a permanent housing program designed to serve homeless individuals
with a 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.

MA-40 Barriers to Affordable Housing
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
multiple bedrooms.

MA-50 Needs and Market Analysis Discussion
Are there any populations or households in areas or neighborhoods that are more affected by
multiple housing problems?
Low-income households are more affected by multiple housing problems, particularly Hispanic
households.
Are there areas in the Jurisdiction where these populations are concentrated?
Low income families are concentrated in the North Beach and South Beach Target Areas.
What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods?
The North Beach market generally has 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. 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. There are local CDCs that provided affordable housing and
public services to low to moderate income populations.
Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas?
Strategic opportunities in these areas include:
• Construction of and rehabilitation of affordable housing;
• Opportunities for youth programs and the construction of a new youth center in the South
Beach Target Area;
• Opportunities for senior programs and the opening of a new senior center in the North Beach
Target Area;
• Economic development including a Facade Improvement Program in the North Beach Target
Area; and
• Infrastructure improvements.

Strategic Plan
SP-05 Overview
Strategic Plan Overview
{1) The general priorities for allocating investment geographically within the jurisdiction will be in the
North Beach and South Beach Target Areas. The general priorities and needs are public facilities, public
services and affordable housing.
{2) The rationale for establishing the allocation priorities given to each category of priority needs,
particularly among extremely low income, low-income, and moderate income households is a housing
market analysis, a poverty and income demographic analysis, CDAC recommendations, and
consultation with City departments, subrecipients and the HACMB.
{3) Obstacles to meeting underserved needs include less federal and state resources.
{4) Priorities and specific objectives the jurisdiction intends to initiate and/or complete during the time
period covered by the strategic plan include construction and or rehabilitation of public facilities,
provision of public services and construction and or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Funds that are
reasonably expected to be available to address identified needs include CDBG, HOME, SHIP, County
funds, bank financing and subrecipient funds.
Proposed accomplishments and outcomes are construction and or rehabilitation of public facilities,
provision of public services and construction and or rehabilitation of affordable housing.
To accommodate the population of the City, the City's 2025 Comprehensive Plan -Housing Element
establishes a goal to have available a sufficient number of housing units in an adequate variety of types,
sizes, locations, and cost ranges, within sound structures in safe neighborhoods. As such, the City has
identified eight {8) primary housing-related objectives, which are:
1. Creation and/or preservation of affordable housing,
2. Elimination of substandard housing and structural and aesthetic improvements to existing
housing,
3. Adequate sites and distribution of housing for very low to moderate-income households; and
adequate sites for mobile and manufactured homes,
4. Adequate sites for group homes and foster care facilities,
5. Conservation, rehabilitation or demolition of housing, including identification of historically
significant housing,
6. Relocation,
7. Housing implementation programs,

8. Energy efficiency and renewable resources
To further the Housing Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the Local Housing Assistance Plan was
created, in compliance with the regulations and requirements of the State Housing Initiatives
Partnership Program. Its purpose is to meet the housing needs of very low, low, and moderate-income
households; to expand the production of, and the preservation of, affordable housing. To carry out this
Plan, five (5} primary assistance strategies have been established:
1. Owner-occupied housing rehabilitation
2. Disaster mitigation recovery
3. New construction
4. Down payment/closing costs and rehabilitation
5. Multi-family rental housing development
The City believes that these plans (which are incorporated by reference) are consistent with, and
support this Consolidated Plan, and each other.

Table 50-Priority Needs Summary
Narrative (Optional)
The current difficulties in the housing market present a large challenge for the City. The housing market
in Miami Beach, though diminished from previous high levels is still prohibitive for many households.
Cost burden is the number one problem affecting housing availability. The City must balance its efforts
between the production of more affordable housing without diminishing overall property values and
ultimately affecting its tax revenue base.

Table 54-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.
Describe the strengths and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population
and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed
above
The Continuum of Care service delivery system allows for a single point of entry which allows for better
targeting of services and meeting client needs, better knowledge of resources available in the
community, and improved referral networks through HMIS.
Gaps include the City of Miami Beach not having homeless facilities within its boundaries, not having
enough homeless outreach personnel to cover the entire city and the need for emergency shelters for
homeless sexual offenders.

SP-55 Barriers to affordable housing Barriers to Affordable Housing 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 multiple bedrooms. Strategy to Remove or Ameliorate the Barriers to Affordable Housing The City has developed specific objectives, outlined in the Housing Element of its Comprehensive Plan, to address the housing needs of low to moderate-income households. These objectives are aimed at creating affordable housing opportunities in spite of the barriers. These objectives are further enhanced by specific assistance strategies that are outlined in the Local Housing Assistance Plan. Consolidated Plan Rev 51713 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MIAMI BEACH 72
SP-60 Homelessness Strategy Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs The City of Miami Beach's Homeless Services Division provides homeless street outreach services partially funded by the Trust, to those homeless in the City of Miami Beach 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 Homeless Outreach Teams (HOT) services include engagement that provides immediate support and links to other support networks and may include assessment and case management to understand client barriers and Identify housing options, direct placement into emergency shelter, relocation services to a friend or family member outside of the city who is willing to house the individual (no one is sent to another location without verifying that they have some where to go), bus passes, emergency physical and mental health services, and services for special populations including homeless youths, victim services and services for people living with HIV/AIDS. HOT 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, permanent housing programs for the chronically homeless to be placed directly into from the street. Addressing the emergency and transitional housing needs of homeless persons With 16% of the Miami-Dade County homeless population within the City, the City of Miami Beach is addressing emergency housing needs by funding 48 emergency shelter beds with resort funds at shelters throughout the county. The City was also recently allocated 100 emergency shelter beds by the Trust in FY 2012. However, this is still not enough and the City will continue to explore ways of expanding emergency housing needs as well as supporting renovations and rehabilitations of structures by community providers to provide new and existing emergency shelters and transitional housing for the purpose of providing decent housing and essential services to the homeless population. 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 Consolidated Plan Rev 51713 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MIAMI BEACH 73
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 County provides funding to Citrus Health Network, Inc. for its Housing Assistance Network of Dade {HAND) program to administer its rapid re-housing programs and services to individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness. The program assists people to quickly regain stability in permanent housing after experiencing a housing crisis and/or homelessness. The County, through this program expects to serve 488 households or individuals annually. 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 Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust will provide housing relocation and stabilization services and rental assistance to prevent households from experiencing homelessness. The Trust and its subrecipients will provide services to extremely low-income individuals and families living in the County or identify alternative permanent rental housing and achieve housing stability.

SP-65 Lead based paint Hazards Actions to address LBP hazards and increase access to housing without LBP hazards Recognizing that there are potentially 4300 (according to the CHAS data) units with hazardous lead-based paint conditions, the City of Miami Beach works with its CHDO to ensure that these conditions are eliminated when rehabilitating affordable properties. All project contracts require that the developer (CHDO) comply with the Lead Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act. Most of the multi-family rehabilitation projects are projects in which the properties are completely gutted, so the elimination of potential hazards is accomplished. How are the actions listed above related to the extent of lead poisoning and hazards? The presence of lead-based paint in housing is one of the most critical environmental hazards found in housing. In 1978, restrictions were placed on the use of lead-based paint, which had been used extensively in prior years. Research showed that the use of lead-based paint could be linked to developmental disabilities in humans, particularly children. Because low and moderate-income persons tend to live in older properties that have not been rehabilitated, the health hazards have the potential to affect those persons in greater numbers. Thus the above actions help to ensure that low and moderate-income persons have a greater number of options for living in safe, affordable housing. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? These actions are aligned with the goals of this Consolidated Plan and are an integral part of the delivery of decent and safe housing for low and moderate-income individuals and families. Lead hazards are addressed in the Housing Policies of the Community Development Policies and Procedures manual. Consolidated Plan Rev 51713 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) MIAMI BEACH 75
SP-70 Anti-Poverty Strategy Jurisdiction Goals, Programs and Policies for reducing the number of Poverty-Level Families The City's goal is to fund programs and develop policies to reduce the number of people living in poverty. There are 13,476 living in poverty in the City. There are 1,028,816 (11.1%) children living in poverty. There 3,515 elderly (25.5%) of all persons 65 and over living in poverty. The City will partner with City departments and subrecipients to reduce the number of poverty level-families. The City will fund childcare and youth programs in high poverty neighborhoods to give parents the opportunity to work full time. The City will also fund senior programs to provide meals and adult day care for low and moderate income seniors. Data Source: US Census Bureau How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan The City will partner with Miami Beach CDC and the HACMB to provide supportive services and decent, safe, affordable housing for low and moderate income residents. Rehabilitation and construction of affordable housing is one of the goals of the affordable housing plan. The City and its affordable housing partners are leveraging CDBG and HOME funds with other county, state, federal and private funds. The City will fund supportive service programs to assist people living in poverty. Poverty Rate <7 .tr9 ~A.

Each year a desk audit, risk assessment, and on site monitoring is conducted for every activity and subrecipient. In addition, technical assistance workshops are provided each year and a copy of "Playing by the Rules" has been provided to each subrecipient. During the development of the Consolidated Plan, the Planning Department reviewed a draft of the Consolidated Plan for consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan Housing Element. , Consolidated Plan Rev 51713 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015} MIAMI BEACH 77
