ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The City has received an annual allocation of HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program
funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) since 1992 for the
purpose of expanding the supply of housing for persons meeting the income criteria of the HOME
Program. This program encourages partnerships between the government and the private sector,
including for-profit and not-for-profit organizations for the acquisition, construction and
rehabilitation of housing. The HOME Program requires the City, in its capacity as a participating
AGENDA ITEM~

jurisdiction, to set aside a minimum of 15 percent of its annual allocation for a particular type of not-
for-profit organization called a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO). The
CHDO is required to use these funds for housing development activities in which the CHDO is either
the owner, sponsor or developer of the housing. The Miami Beach Community Development
Corporation (MBCDC) was designated as a CHDO in 1993.
In an effort to address the housing needs of the residents of Miami Beach, MBCDC established the
Scattered-Site Home Buyer Program in 1990. Subsequently, MBCDC has provided homeownership
opportunities for over one hundred seventy-five families. Forty-five of these families have received
assistance through the City's HOME Program. To date, no beneficiary of this home buyer program
has defaulted on a loan.
ANAL YSIS:
MBCDC serves as a CHDO developer, as defined under the HOME Program, by entering into a
purchase agreement with the seller, rehabilitating the property to meet local property standard
requirements, and transferring title of the property and the HOME loan obligation to an income-
eligible home buyer. Additionally, MBCDC provides homeownership counseling services including:
assistance in identifying suitable affordable properties, assistance in financial management,
budgeting and resolving adverse credit history, preparation for property acquisition and closing, and
assistance in accessing private mortgage financing.
The Home Buyer Program will provide a minimum of ten qualified home buyers with financial
assistance for the purchase of scattered-site dwelling units within the city limits to be used as a
principal residence. The HOME funds will be used as second mortgages or may be used as third
party mortgages, in combination with Miami-Dade County Documentary Surtax funded mortgages,
to enable a wider range of residents to qualify for participation in the program. The HOME funds
will be provided as non-interest bearing deferred payment loans. The HOME Agreement provides
for a developer's fee of $2,000 per unit, not to exceed ten percent of the total agreement
On September 17, 1999, the Loan Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval by the
City Commission of funding for MBCDC for the continuation of the scattered site home buyer
program. In order to fund this initiative, the Loan Review Committee approved a motion to amend
the City's One Year Action Plans for fiscal years 1997/98 and 1998/99 by reallocating $439,803 of
fiscal year 1997/98 HOME Program funds from a Notice of Funding Availability, and $256,850 of
fiscal year 1998/99 HOME Program funds from rehabilitation initiatives. These HOME Program
funds will be reallocated as follows: $200,000 to MBCDC for the continuation of the Home Buyer
Program and the balance of $496,653 is being reallocated for the City's rehabilitation initiatives for
fiscal year 199912000. In accordance with HUD regulations and the adopted Citizen Participation
Plan, the Administration advertised on Thursday, August 19, 1999 a 30-day citizen comment period
on the proposed amendment. No comments were received.
