Subject: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR FY 2005/06 FOR COBG PROGRAM
Date: March 7, 2005
From:
On February 1, 2005, the Housing and Community Development Division of the Neighborhood
Services Department issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) announcing the availability of federal
funds for FY 2005/06. Each year, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
notifies the City ofthe approximate allocation offederal funds to be available for the upcoming fiscal
year. This year, the City anticipates that it will receive $2,002,924 in CDBG funds (a 7.41 % decrease
in funds of$160,076 from FY 2004/05) and $0.00 in the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) Program
(No ESG funds).
The reduction in CDBG program funds is a result ofthe new census figures for 2000 which reflect the
reduction in population for Miami Beach, the reduction of persons living in poverty in Miami Beach,
housing overcrowding, age of housing and population growth lag in relationship to other metropolitan
areas. Additionally, every year, the limited amount of HUD funds have been spread thinner since
there are increasingly more municipalities nationwide meeting the population threshold to become
their own entitlement jurisdictions, These changes in the City's census numbers and HUD funding
also resulted in no new funding under the ESG program.
For FY 2005/06, the amount available for the CDBG, including prior year unspent funds, is a total of
$2,287.357. Of that, below is the preliminary breakdown of proposed allocations:
2005/06 2004/05 Difference
For Public Services 394,16 472,47' (78,309
For Other Eligible Services 890,06 877,00( 13,06

Proposals for FY 2005/06 are due in the Housing and Community Development Division no later than
5:00 P.M. on Tuesday, March 2,2005. As in previous years, all applicants will be encouraged to
develop programs that have substantial and comprehensive effects on the priority needs and conditions
of the City of Miami Beach relating to the overall goals and objectives of the CDBG program. The
RFP is available in the Housing and Community Development Division office or may be downloaded
from the city's website.
This year, the planning phase for the development of the One- Year Action Plan includes the
simultaneous development of the next Five-Year Consolidated Plan for federal funds. As in years
past, the Housing and Community Development Division will collaborate with the Community
Development Advisory Committee (CDAC), with local community based organizations and residents
to determine the priority needs for the upcoming program year. The process will include the
opportunity to publicly determine the needs and priorities of community development and housing in
the target areas regarding the neighborhood revitalization, streets and public facilities improvements,
and the provision of public services.
