Issue: I Shall the City adopt the One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013-2014 in substantially the attached form? Item Summary/Recommendation: The City has been awarded its Fiscal Year 2013-2014 entitlements from the State and Federal governments. The Federal government has awarded the City $953,576 for its CDBG program and $469,525 for its HOME program. In addition, the City has $69,332 from prior years' unexpended CDBG funds and $503,045 from prior years' uncommitted HOME funds. The State's FY 2012/13 SHIP allocation is $21,895. The City issued two Requests for Applications (RFA) on March 28, 2013 for the award of eligible entitlement funds. One RFA addressed the use of CDBG funds for public services and eligible capital projects. The second RFA was for affordable housing funding from HOME and SHIP, and sought only affordable housing applications as required. Nineteen (19) applications were received for the CDBG funds, and two (2) applications were received for HOME funds. One (1) application was received for SHIP funds. Eleven (11) public service applications were received. The public service applications were for childcare, youth services, home delivered meals for persons with HIV/AIDs, housing-based public services, handicapped services, senior meals, and senior services. Public services were identified as a high-priority need in the recently approved FY 2013-2017 Consolidated Plan. The Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) also identified public services as a high priority need. The Boys and Girls Clubs of Miami, Food for Life Network, ~· Jewish Community Services, Little Havana Activities & Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc., Log Cabin Enterprises, Miami Beach CDC (MBCDC), RAIN Parents, Inc., UNlOAD Miami Beach, Inc. and the City's Office of Community Services are being recommended for funding. RFA applications were reviewed by the Administration and CDAC. Presentations were made to CDAC by all applicants for CDBG and HOME funding. The applications were ranked according to their impact on the Consolidated Plan, project description, specific goals, budget analysis, and leveraging offunds. After review and deliberations between the Administration and CDAC, the recommendation was to fund sixteen (16) activities with CDBG funds as incorporated in the proposed One-Year Action Plan which is due to HUD by August 15, 2013. Carrfour Supportive Housing and Miami Beach Community Development Corporation submitted applications for housing projects. Carrfour proposes to rehabilitate the Harding Village Apartments located at 8520 Harding Avenue. MBCDC proposes to utilize available HOME project funds to fill a funding gap in the London House II project, located at 1975 Washington Avenue. MBCDC, the sole respondent, also proposes to utilize available SHIP funds for home-buying activities. The City is currently conducting project and file audits of MBCDC. At this time, the Administration recommends that its proposed awards are made pending completion and satisfactory review of these efforts. In accordance with HUD's Citizen Participation Process requirement, the proposed One-Year Action Plan for the allocation and use ofCDBG and HOME funds was advertised and posted on the City's website for a 30-day public comment period from June 13 through July 12, 2013. Furthermore, after being duly advertised, a meeting to collect public input was held on June 19, 2013. No further public comments have been received.

Morales, City Manager DATE: July17,2013 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYO AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE CITY'S ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN FOR FEDERAL FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2013/2014, WHICH INCLUDES THE BUDGETS FOR THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (CDBG), THE HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM (HOME), THE FISCAL YEAR 2012/2013 STATE HOUSING INITIATIVES PARTNERSHIP (SHIP) PROGRAM AND VALUE ADDED ENHANCEMENT FUNDS; AMENDING THE 1994- 2011 ACTION PLANS, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO MAKE MINOR NON-SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THE ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN OR RESULTING AGREEMENTS BEFORE EXECUTION (WHICH MAY BE IDENTIFIED DURING THE FINALIZATION AND/OR REVIEW PROCESS, AND WHICH DO NOT AFFECT THE PURPOSE, SCOPE, APPROVED BUDGET AND/OR INTENT OF THE PLAN); AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXTEND THE EXPIRATION DATES OF SAID AGREEMENTS WHEN NECESSARY; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS AND SUBMIT THE ONE-YEAR ACTION PLAN TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD); FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS FOR SUB-RECIPIENTS OF CDBG, HOME AND SHIP FUNDS; AND AUTHORIZING THE APPROPRIATION OF ALL FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS WHEN RECEIVED. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. BACKGROUND The City of Miami Beach is a HUD-designated entitlement community, as determined by the decennial census information on population growth lag, age of housing stock, and poverty. The City of Miami Beach has been a CDBG entitlement city since 1975. The HOME Program, also funded by HUD, was started in 1992 to provide funding 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." As an entitlement community, the City automatically qualifies for an annual allocation of Federal funding under HUD's grant programs. HUD requires participating jurisdictions to submit an annual One-Year Action Plan which describes how the City will utilize funding and resources to address priority needs identified in the Consolidated Plan. The One-Year Action Plan is one component of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan that is filed by the City with HUD. The One-Year Action Plan follows the strategies that have been included in the 2013-2017 Five-Year Consolidated Plan. CDBG funds have been primarily used to provide vital public services, 477 Commission Memorandum-FY 2013/2014 Action Plan 17,2013 Page 2 of 6 housing activities, code enforcement, and improvements to public facilities, such as youth centers and senior centers, while HOME and SHIP funds have been used for affordable rental housing activities and first time homeownership opportunities. The State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program, administered through the Florida Housing Finance Corporation (FHFC), was established by the 1992 William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act to stimulate the production of affordable housing statewide. Annually, FHFC allocates SHIP Program funds among participating jurisdictions on a formula basis. The City has participated in the SHIP Program since FY1995-1996. The City had historically received approximately $500,000 a year in SHIP funds, of which 90% had been allocated to provide program-eligible activities to income-eligible persons. However, in recent years the State has reallocated the SHIP Trust funds to other uses in the State's General Fund. As a result, funding for FY2009-201 0, FY201 0-2011, and FY2011-2012 was reduced to $43,691, $0, and $42,524, respectively. Originally, the allocation for FY2012/2013 was $0. However, on January 11, 2013, the City was notified that as a result of the State recapturing unexpended funds that were previously set-aside for disaster recovery, the City would receive $21,895 that should be considered its FY 2012/2013 allocation. The use of the SHIP funding is outlined and governed by the City's Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP), which must be approved by FHFC. Staff conferred with HUD representatives to request permission to utilize any prior year unspent funds from CDBG to re-allocate for project costs. After receiving HUD's approval, the Administration included those funds in the RFA process to be allocated for capital projects and affordable housing. The HOME Program rules require each entitlement community to reserve a minimum of 15% of its annual allocation for activities undertaken by qualified Community Housing Development Organizations. A Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) is a private nonprofit, community-based service organization that has identified the development of affordable housing as a primary mission, and has the capacity to develop affordable housing in the community it serves. A CHDO must meet certain requirements pertaining to its legal status, organizational structure, capacity and experience. Historically, the only certified CHDO in Miami Beach is the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation (MBCDC). However, another community development organization, CarrFour Supportive Housing (CarrFour), is being evaluated for certification as a CHDO. This fiscal year, the total available funds for distribution are as follows: Community Development Block Grant FY13-14 Entitlement estimated by HUD ............................................................... $953,576 Less administrative allowance (20%) .............. -$190,715 Less set-aside for CDBG Code Enforcement. .. -$90,000 Net FY 13/14 funds available for distribution ........... ., ............................................ $672,861 Prior vear recaptured funds ........................................................................ m .. .,.$69,332 Total available for allocation .. 8!1! !ll!ll:!l'i!l ~**'*"'""'"''"*"!llll't'"'**'t'""**!ll<ol:!l':!f**'""'""""**"'~"'"*"'~"'**'*""'****~:jf·**",.. •• !ll !l!'t'*"'*· •• $742,193 HOME FY 13-14 Entitlement estimated by HUD .............................................................. $469,525 Less administrative allowance (1 0%) ................ -$46,953 Less minimum 15% CHDO project set-aside ...... -$70,429 Less maximum 5% CHDO admin. set-aside ....... -$23,476 Net FY 12/13 funds available for ro'ect allocation ............................................. 328 667 478 Commission Memorandum ····· FY 201:3/2014 Action Plan 17, 2013 Page 3 of 6 SHIP FY 12-13 Entitlement estimated by State ... ,. ................................ , .. ., ................. "$21 ,895 Less administrative allowance ( 10% ) ..................... -$2, 189 Net funds available for project allocation .......................................................... $19,706 On March 28, 2013, the Administration issued two RFAs with a submission deadline of April 26, 2013; one RFA included the available CDBG funds; the other was a combined RFA that included available HOME and SHIP funds. ANALYSIS CDBG Funds The available CDBG allocation is $7 42,193, which includes an additional $69,332 of recaptured funds. The City received nineteen (19) written proposals for these funds for an aggregate amount of $1,637,913. These proposals were reviewed by the Administration and CDAC, and ranked according to: their impact on the Consolidated Plan; project description; specific goals; budget analysis; and leveraging of funds. The following factors were taken into consideration when determining funding awards: 1) the level of impact according to the Consolidated Plan; 2) project description of activities; 3) attainment of performance measures and program outcomes; 4) organizational capacity and experience; 5) budget analysis; and 6) the organization's ability to leverage additional non- CDBG sources of funding for project activities. All agencies that submitted responsive proposals were asked to make project presentations before the CDAC and City staff. The presentations were followed by a question and answer session which allowed the CDAC members and City staff the opportunity to learn additional information about the agencies and their respective programs. All of this information was utilized to rank and make appropriate funding recommendations, which form the basis of the Action Plan. The resulting recommendations have been incorporated in the draft One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013-2014 and are summarized in the attached Exhibit 1. As in previous years, given the limited amount of CDBG resources available (capped by Federal regulations), the CDAC and the Administration had to make difficult decisions regarding funding recommendations for a number of organizations and projects. Consensus recommendations were reached and are consistent with the priority needs areas as identified by the Commission, the community, and the Consolidated Plan. The main priorities include those activities addressing and serving elderly, youth, health services including persons with AIDS, homelessness, affordable housing, and public facilities. More specific information is provided below. Public Service Activities A maximum of fifteen percent (15%) of the entitlement allocation may be awarded to public service activities. Public service activities include meals programs, after school programs, etc., for income-eligible participants. A total of $143,036 was available for public service funding. Eleven (11) applications were received for a total of $345,977 in requests. The following seven (7) subrecipients, providing a total of seven activities, are being recommended for Public Service funding: 479 Commission Memorandum -FY 2013/2014 Action Plan 17, 2013 Page 4 of 6 Capital/Community Development CDBG funding was also requested for activities that include the rehabilitation of affordable housing buildings and other eligible capital improvements. $599,156 was available for other CDBG eligible capital activities. A total of seven (7) applications were received for $775,450 in requests. Seven (7) projects were recommended for funding. They include: Other The balance of the available FY13/14 CDBG allocation is used as follows: $90,000 is being set ,aside to fund code compliance services; and, in order to effectively implement and monitor the CDBG program, $190,715 (20% of the entitlement as allowed by HUD) was allocated for administrative and operational expenses. HOME Funds The available HOME project allocation is $328,667. To ensure that any RFA requirements could be clarified and any questions relating to the completion and submission of an application could be addressed, a mandatory pre-submission meeting was held on April 10, 2013. Two (2) applications, each requesting the full amount of available HOME funds, were timely received and reviewed by the Administration and the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC). They were also ranked according to their impact on the Consolidated Plan; project description; specific goals; budget analysis; leveraging of funds; and organizational experience and capacity. Both organizations that submitted responsive proposals were asked to make 480 Commission Memorandum-FY 2013/2014 Action Plan 17, 2013 Page 5 of 6 project presentations before the CDAC and City staff. The presentations were followed by a question and answer session which allowed the CDAC members and City staff the opportunity to ascertain additional information about the agencies and their respective programs. All of this information was utilized to rank and make appropriate funding recommendations, which form the basis of the Action Plan. The resulting CDAC and staff recommendations have been incorporated in the draft One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013-2014 and are summarized in the attached Exhibit 1. Projects CarrFour requested funding for its 94-unit Harding Village affordable rental housing project located at 8540 Harding Avenue. This property, which is currently occupied, provides affordable housing for formerly homeless and low-income individuals (including veterans) that has fallen into disrepair and is in need of rehabilitation. The Administration is proposing to allocate the remaining balance of HOME project funds, in the amount of $228,667, to this project. MBCDC requested funding for its 18-unit London House II affordable rental housing rehabilitation project located at 1975 Washington Avenue. This is a total rehabilitation of the property that was vacant and boarded up. Additionally MBCDC, which at the time of application was the only CHDO in Miami Beach, was eligible to receive the minimum required project set- aside of 15% of annual HOME funds. The Administration is proposing to allocate $100,000 of HOME project funds, plus the required CHDO set-aside of $70,429 to MBCDC to fill its funding gap in this project. The City is currently conducting project and file audits of MBCDC. At this time, the Administration recommends that its proposed awards are made pending completion and satisfactory review of these efforts. Other The City is allowed to set-aside up to five (5%) percent of its HOME fund allocation to assist with the operating expenses of a qualified CHDO, to provide staff development and encourage capacity-building. MBCDC will receive the CHDO set-aside for operating expenses of $23,476. For FY2013-2014, $46,953 of HOME funds (10% of entitlement funds) is being allocated to Housing and Community Development Staff for administration and required Fair Housing activities. SHIP Funds The SHIP allocation for FY 2012-2013 is $21,895. The SHIP program follows the strategies that are outlined in the Local Housing Assistance Plan (LHAP) and the funds are primarily used for income-eligible homeownership activities, such as down paymenVclosing cost assistance and owner-occupied home rehabilitation. After deducting the City's allowable administrative expenses of ten (10%) percent, the available $19,706 was included in the previously described Combined RFA. At the close of the application period, the only submission received for the available funds was from MBCDC for its existing Homeowner Assistance Program to assist eligible individuals/families acquire and/or repair existing homes. Value Added Enhancement Funds An additional $15,000 of Value Added Enhancement Funds was available for marine-related and children-related recipients. CDAC and the Administration recommend funding Teen Job Corps for $13,000 to employ low income resident youth and Sunflower Society for $2,000 to 481 Commission Memorandum -FY 20'13/2014 Action Plan 17, 2013 Page 6 of 6 serve additional youth with arts programming. PUBLIC COMMENTS As required by HUD, a draft of the One-Year Action Plan was made available to the public for a 30-day comment period commencing on June 13, 2013, and ending July 12, 2013. US HUD now requires the One-Year Action Plan to be entered into its Integrated Disbursement Information System (I DIS). (See Exhibit 1) Additionally, a public meeting to hear public comments was held on June 19, 2013. There were no attendees or public comments. CONCLUSION Most of the activities described in the One-Year Action Plan will take place in City-designated community development target areas which contain census tract/block groups that have greater than 51% of households with incomes at or below 80% of the median income and continue to be a priority for allocation of CDBG, HOME, and SHIP resources. As in previous years, the City received funding requests that exceeded its entitlement allocations. Recommendations on allocations are based on staff review and analysis, as well as the review and input of CDAC. The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the attached resolution adopting the One-Year Action Plan for FY 2013-2014 in substantially the attached form, to allow the City to draw down entitlement funds to assist income eligible persons with services and housing, and approve the allocation of the FY 2012-13 SHIP funds to the sole bidder for its homeowner program.

The Congress, the Senate and the White House have three different funding recommendations and the Annual Action Plans will be updated annually to reflect the actual entitlements. The House Transportation-HUD (T-HUD) Subcommittee FY 14 budget bill proposes to fund CDBG at $1.6 billion, a cut of nearly half--or $1.5 billion from FY13. The bill would provide $700 million for HOME, a cut of $200 million from FY13. All of HUD's programs were cut to some extent due to the low 302(b) allocation given to the House T-HUD Subcommittee ($44 billion this year vs. $51 billion last year--a cut of $9 billion). The Senate T-HUD Subcommittee allocation is $54 billion, $10 billion more than the House T-HUD allocation of $44 billion. This means that CDBG and other HUD programs will most certainly be funded at much higher levels in the Senate.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing The Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach (HACMB) is undertaking initiatives to address energy efficiency, parking lot improvements, security surveillance enhancements, and resident activities. Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and participate in homeownership The HACMB encourages public housing residents to participate in policy, procedure and program implementation and development through its Resident Advisory Board. The HACMB conducts a monthly Management/Resident meeting to encourage participation by the residents. The HACMB distributes a monthly newsletter to all public housing residents, which contains relevant agency news and information on available community resources. Homeownership is not applicable as Rebecca Towers South is an elderly-designated rental development. The HACMB's Board of Commissioners includes a public housing resident. If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be provided or other assistance NA OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Rev 7 213 Annual Action Plan 2013 497 15 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities Introduction The City of Miami Beach will continue to work alongside its partners, including the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust and the Continuum of Care (CoC) providers to align priorities and funding across the continuum for programs addressing the needs of Miami Beach residents experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Describe the jurisdictions 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 of Miami Beach and the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust fund homeless outreach teams to provide outreach to homeless people living on the streets. Each individual or family is assessed to determine their vulnerability and are linked to housing and other services. Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Miami Beach is funding 48 emergency shelter beds with $355,875 which includes case management and other supportive services. Miami Beach is also allocated 100 emergency shelter beds at no cost by the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust for the chronically homeless, elderly, medically needy, families, individuals and unaccompanied youth. The City of Miami Beach receives $50,040 from the Trust for hotel/motel vouchers for families and transgender individuals when emergency shelter beds are not available. The City of Miami Beach Homeless Services staff consistently meets with the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust and the Continuum of Care providers to assess demands for service and determine the efficacy of current efforts. 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 of Miami Beach Homeless Services Program engages homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) on the street via its Homeless Outreach Team (HOT). Many times HOT makes direct referrals to permanent housing. The HOT also participate in the coordinated outreach process, OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Rev 7 213 Annual Action Plan 2013 498 16 another program funded by the Homeless Trust, which provides behavioral health outreach workers who work alongside others targeting chronically homeless persons. Once per month, the coordinated outreach process brings together all the CoC outreach teams ( including agencies like the Veterans Administration), to discuss issues encountered, and improve efforts to create and expand referrals to low demand and Housing First permanent housing programs for the chronically homeless. 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 City of Miami Beach makes direct referrals to Camillus House's Homeless Prevention program funded by the Trust. The Homeless Prevention Program will provide emergency rental assistance to individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness, but do not qualify for other rental assistance programs. This one-time rental payment is made directly to the landlord. The Trust also 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.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Rev 7 213 Annual Action Plan 2013 500 18 AP-85 Other Actions Introduction Other actions include the following: 1. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs; 2. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing; 3. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards; 4. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families; 5. Actions planned to develop institutional structure; and 6. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies. 1. Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City plans to plans to provide funding and technical assistance to its subrecipients to address the obstacles of people with underserved needs. 2. Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing Increasing decent affordable housing opportunities is a priority objective in the City. The City currently has programs such as first-time home buyer assistance and multi-family residential rehabilitation which are funded from CDBG, HOME and/or SHIP. Maintaining and increasing affordable rental properties is a priority of the City. Continuing to fund these activities and programs will remain a priority. As evidenced by the American Community Survey (ACS) and CHAS special tabulation data, the priority need in the City remains affordable rental housing. The highest priority continues to address the households that have very low income and are paying more than 50% of their income on housing needs and/or are living in substandard housing. The medium priority is assigned to households at 51% to 80% AMI, therefore having less severe issues. The lowest priority will be assigned to those households with incomes 80% AMI or greater. 3. Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards The City of Miami Beach will continue to evaluate lead-based paint hazards by contacting the Miami Dade Health Department annually to determine whether any residents have been diagnosed with high levels of lead and where the housing units are located. As part of any City administered housing program, the City will ensure that all appropriate lead hazard disclosures, brochures and testing are done in compliance with Federal regulations for those homes that were built prior to 1978. If abatement is required, specifications by a certified lead contractor will be written and incorporated into rehabilitation specifications to be implemented by the City withCDBG/HOME funding. These actions will OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Rev 7 2 13 Annual Action Plan 2013 501 19 prevent lead poisoning and hazards in the community. 4. Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families The Anti-Poverty Plan is intended to increase incomes and job opportunities for low-income households. Miami Beach's economy relies on lower paying service-sector and seasonal tourism-oriented jobs. Many of these jobs are open to people with limited skills and low educational attainment. In response to the Welfare Reform Act, the City of Miami Beach focused its core to combat poverty and focused on the creation of secure, well-paying jobs. Implementation of these anti-poverty efforts remains a cooperative effort between the City, the local business community, community development agencies, nonprofit organizations, the City's designated CHDO, the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach, Inc., and other service organizations. A major objective of the City's economic development activities is the stimulation of economic revitalization and job creation by facilitating business development and expansion, job creation/retention, encouraging private development through public support, and carrying out housing and neighborhood revitalization. The development of convention-quality hotels is an economic development objective which is an example of business development that provides significant employment opportunities for persons entering the job market. The purpose of this strategy is to link individuals and families to the programs and services available to them and to build upon existing anti-poverty program infrastructure. External factors that impact the economy will have an impact on the resources and programs available to move individuals towards economic self-sufficiency as well as available jobs. These factors can also have an impact on affordable housing. However, even with negative external factors, the overall goals, objectives/policies will remain the same as programs and activities are adapted to reflect market change. The City will continuously seek out opportunities that support or improve its anti-poverty strategy. The City will also fund childcare, youth and senior programs to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 5. Actions planned to develop institutional structure While the Office of Real Estate, Housing and Community Development serves as the lead agency, the One-Year Action Plan is implemented with the assistance of various non-profit social service providers, the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation, the Housing Authority ofthe City of Miami Beach, and various other for-profit entities. 6. Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service agencies The City is enhancing coordination between Miami Beach CDC, the HACMB and social service agencies.
