BACKGROUND: The City is a recipient of state grant funds from the Florida Housing Finance Agency for the Stelte Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program. The SHIP Program, administered through the Florida Housing Finance Agency, was established by the 1992 William E. Sadowski Affordable Housing Act, and was specifically created to stimulate the production of affordable housing statewide. SHIP Program funds derive from set-aside allocations from documentary stamp levies on real estate transactions. In 1995, for the first time, Dade County and cities within Dade, including Miami Beach, received a share of the SHIP Program funds. The City received $336,366 in fiscal year 1995-96 SHIP funds. Of this allocation, $302,729, plus interest earnings of $1 ,779 accrued through June 30, 1996 (end of the State of Florida fiscal yecr), were available for eligible activities. The balance is for administration costs of the City. On December 4, 1994, the City awarded Miami Beach Development Corporation (MBDC) $304,5:J8 in fiscal year 1995-96 SHIP Program funds for the "Scattered-site,Home Ownership Program". DATE C "1 .:; , - 2~~ - ~ .., AGENDA ITEM COMMISSION MEM 0 JANUARY 22, 19~117 PAGE 2 For fiscal year 1996-97, the City has been allocated $358,006 in SHIP Program funds. Of tris allocation, $322,206, plus any interest accrued from July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997, is to be made available for eligible activities under the SHIP Program rules. The fiscal year 1996-~17 allocation may be adjusted by the FHFA depending on actual documentary stamp tax revenUE!S collected by the State. ANALYSIS: Although Resolution 95-21566 of May 3, 1995, adopting the SHIP Housing Assistance Pia" identified the initial allocation amount for fiscal year 1995-96, this Resolution did not provide f,)r appropriation of the funds upon final approval of the Plan by the FHFA. The attached Resoluticln appropriates the fiscal year 1995-96 SHIP funds -allocation, and in addition appropriates the allocation for fiscal year 1996-97, and the accrued interest on the funds received by the City. In accordance with the adopted SHIP Housing Assistance Plan, a Notice of Funds Availability (NOF A) process for fiscal year 1995-96 funds was conducted by the City beginning on October 17, 1996. MBDC submitted a responsive proposal to the NOFA; no other response was received by the City. On December 4, 1996, by Resolution number 96-22220, the City awarded $304,509 :0 Miami Beach Development Corporation (MBDC) for the successful "Scattered-site Horr e Ownership Program", providing for the rehabilitation of a minimum of ten (10) scattered-sij e condominium units prior to their purchase by income-eligible home buyers. The City's SHIP Program allocation for fiscal year 1996-97 is $358,006. Ten percent (10%) of this allocation will be reserved for program administration in accordance with SHIP Program rules ard ,; Resolution number 95-21568. The remaining balance of allocated funds, plus any interest accrue d from July 1, 1996 through June 3D, 1997, will be made available through a NOFA process durirg this fiscal year for eligible activities under the SHIP Program rules. CONCLUSION: The Administration recommends the adoption of the attached Resolution of the Mayor and Cily Commission authorizing the appropriation of fiscal year 1995-96 State Housing Initiative s Partnership (SHIP) Program funds in the amount of $336,366, and fiscal year 1996-97 SHIP Program funds in the amount of $358,006, or the final allocation amount as adjusted by the Florica Housing Finance Agency, and further authorizing the appropriation of any interest accrued thereon, for eligible activities under the rules of the SHIP Program.
