ANALYSIS
On March 6, 2014 the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach (HACMB) requested
a Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan for its Annual Plan for Fiscal
Year 2014. HACMB submits documents to U.S. HUD annually to enable it to continue
receiving federal funding for its housing programs. HACMB is required by the Public
Housing Reform Act of 1998, to submit a Five-Year and Annual Plan.
As part of the Consolidated Plan, U.S. HUD requires that housing authorities obtain and
submit a Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan from the entitlement
jurisdiction where they operate. In accordance with the Consolidated Plan adopted by
the City, each request for a Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan
requires City Commission review and approval.
The Housing Authority's Five-Year and Annual Plan for Fiscal Year 2014 includes a
Capital Fund Program Statement, and delineates the main goals to be implemented by
HACMB. The Plan identifies an estimated $190,485 in Capital Fund repairs per year
and enumerates key programs and activities for HACMB including:
• Increasing the supply of assisted housing by applying for additional Section 8 Rental
Vouchers, reducing public housing vacancies, leveraging affordable housing
resources to create new units and increasing home ownership through the Family
Self Sufficiency (FSS) program.

• Increasing assisted housing choices through outreach efforts to potential landlords,
pursuing housing resources other than public housing or Section 8, and
implementing Voucher Mobility Counseling.
• Addressing housing needs of specific family types by targeting available assistance
to the elderly, continuing Elderly Designation for Rebecca Towers, affirmatively
marketing to races/ethnicities shown to have disproportionate housing needs and
investing efforts and resources to create/locate housing opportunities out of poverty
areas.
To meet the mission and goals in the Five-Year Plan, the HACMB is implementing the
following:
• Special efforts and training to continue to be a high-performing authority.
• Continued construction on one (1) new building that will provide 21 new affordable
housing units.
• Performing significant physical improvements to presently-owned HACMB buildings
and continue the renovation and modernization of the HACMB buildings.
• Continuing the development of additional supportive services for its participants,
HACMB has created a committee of area community agencies to discuss and
implement new services and approaches to benefit its tenants and the community in
general.
• Integrating additional vouchers including 200 HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive
Housing (HUD-VASH) Vouchers and 25 Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) Special
Appropriation Vouchers.
The City's Consolidated Plan identifies long-term objectives ("Improvements to Housing
Authority") and a five-year strategic plan where key goals are identified. These include
the expansion of the supply of assisted housing, improving the quality of facilities,
increasing assisted housing choices, promoting self-sufficiency and ensuring equal
opportunities. Under the Public Housing Strategy, the Consolidated Plan identifies
HACMB as providing assistance to the lowest-income segment of the population through
initiatives such as operating buildings designated for the elderly and administering
Housing Choice Vouchers. HACMB is currently involved in the construction of
additional, new affordable housing for the elderly and the rehabilitation of existing multi-
family housing.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends adoption of the attached Resolution of the Mayor and
City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, approving and authorizing the City
Manager to issue a Certification of Consistency with the City's FY 2013-2017
Consolidated Plan to the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach (HACMB) for their
