E. Local Housing Partnership: Section 420.9072(1)(a), F.S.
SHIP Program encourages building active partnerships between government,
lenders, builders and developers, real estate professionals, advocates for low-
income persons and community groups.
The City of Miami Beach works closely with its designated Community Housing
Development Organization (CHDO), as well as other local groups involved in local
housing activities, in the development of its Local Housing Assistance Plan.
F. Leveraging:
The Plans are intended to increase the availability of affordable residential units by
combining local resources and cost saving measures into a local housing
partnership and using public and private funds to reduce the cost of housing. SHIP
funds may be leveraged with or used to supplement other Florida Housing Finance
Corporation programs and to provide local match to obtain federal housing grants or
programs.
The City of Miami Beach is an Entitlement Community which receives HOME and
CDBG funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
that will be used, in combination with other local funds, to leverage the SHIP funds
and reduce the cost of housing in the City.
G. Public Input:
Public input was solicited through face to face meetings with housing providers,
social service providers, local lenders and neighborhood associations through public
hearings conducted in conjunction with the City's Five Years Consolidated Plan.
Public input was solicited through the local newspaper in the advertising of the Local
Housing Assistance Plan and the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA).
H. Advertising and Outreach
The City advertises the NOFA in a newspaper of general circulation and periodicals
serving ethnic and diverse neighborhoods, at least 30 days before the beginning of the
application period.
Discrimination:
In accordance with the provisions of ss.760.20-760.37, the City of Miami Beach does
not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, religion, color, age, sex, sexual orientation,
marital status, familial status, national origin, or handicap in the award application
process for eligible housing.
J. Support Services and Counseling:
Support services are available from various sources. Available support services may
include but are not limited to: homeownership counseling (pre and post), credit
3
City of Miami Beach LHAP
counseling, tenant Counseling, transportation, legal Counseling, health and
psychological services, employment and training, consumer credit and fair housing.
Note: All sponsors receiving SHIP Program funds will be required to offer Home
Ownership Training to prospective homebuyers. Home Ownership Training will
help to assist and prepare homebuyers for the acquisition and ownership of a home.
Counseling services will be provided on a group and individual basis covering the
following topics: the home buying process; finding money for a down -payment;
dealing with financial crisis; how to set up a budget; the importance of good credit;
dispute resolution; and how to maintain a home. Home Ownership Training must
meet the standards set by U.S. HUD.
K. Purchase Price Limits:
Purchase Price Limits: The sales price or value of new or existing eligible housing
may not exceed 90% of the average area purchase price in the statistical area in
which the eligible housing is located. Such average area purchase price may be that
calculated for any 12 -month period beginning not earlier than the fourth calendar
year prior to the year in which the award occurs. The sales price of new and existing
units can be lower, but may not exceed 90% of the median area purchase price
established by the U.S. Treasury Department or any other independent study.
The methodology used is:
Independent Study (copy attached)
U.S. Treasury Department
X Bond Study Numbers provided by Florida Housing Finance Corporation
The purchase price limit for new and existing homes: $331,579
L. Income Limits, Rent Limits, and Affordability:
The Income and Rent Limits used in the SHIP Program are updated annually from
the Department of Housing and Urban Development and distributed by Florida
Housing Finance Corporation. Affordable, means that monthly rents or mortgage
payments including taxes and insurance do not exceed 30 percent of that amount
which represents the percentage of the median annual gross income for the
households as indicated in Sections 420.9071 (19), (20) and (28), F.S. However it
is not the intent to limit an individual household's ability to devote more than
30% of its income for housing, and housing for which a household devotes more
than 30% of its income shall be deemed Affordable if the first institutional
mortgage lender is satisfied that the household can afford mortgage payments in
excess of the 30% benchmark and, in the case of rental housing, does not
exceed those rental limits adjusted for bedroom size.
M. Welfare Transition Program:
The City has developed a qualification system and selection criteria for applications
for awards to eligible sponsors, which includes a description that demonstrates how
4-
City of Miami Beach LHAP
eligible sponsors that employed personnel from the Welfare
Transition Program will be given preference in
the selection process.
N. Monitoring and First Right of Refusal:
In the case of rental housing, the staff or entity that has administrative authority
for implementing the local housing assistance plan assisting rental developments
shall annually monitor and determine tenant eligibility or, to the extent another
governmental entity provides the same monitoring and determination, a
municipality, county or local housing financing authority may rely on such
monitoring and determination of tenant eligibility. However, any loan or
grant, in the original amount of $3,000 or less shall not be subject to these
annual monitoring and determination of tenant eligibility requirements. Tenant
eligibility will be monitored at least annually for 15 years or the term of
assistance, whichever is longer.
Eligible sponsors that offer rental housing for sale before 15 years or that have other
remaining mortgages funded under the SHIP Program must give a first right of
refusal to eligible nonprofit organizations for purchase at the current market value
for continued occupancy by eligible persons.
0. Administrative Budget:
A detailed listing including line -item budget of proposed Administrative
Expenditures is attached as Exhibit A. These are presented on an
annual basis for each State fiscal year submitted.
The City of Miami Beach finds that the moneys deposited in the local housing
assistance trust fund shall be used to administer and implement the local housing
assistance plan. In accordance with Chapter 67-37, Florida Administrative Code, the
cost of administering the plan does not exceed 5 percent of the local housing
distribution moneys and program income deposited into the trust fund.
A county or an eligible municipality may not exceed the 5 percent limitation on
administrative costs, unless its governing body finds, by resolution, that 5 percent of
the local housing distribution plus 5 percent of program income is insufficient to
adequately pay the necessary costs of administering the local housing assistance plan.
The cost of administering the program may not exceed 10 percent of the local
housing distribution plus 5% of program income deposited into the trust fund, except
that small counties, as defined in s. 120.52(17), and eligible municipalities receiving
a local housing distribution of up to $350,000 may use up to 10 percent of program
income for administrative costs.
The City of Miami Beach has adopted the above findings in the attached Resolution,
Exhibit E.
