One of the components of the Consolidated Plan is the development of a Continuum of Care plan for the City. As part of its HOO-approved Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 1998-2002, the City of Miami Beach's Continuum of Care plan includes a commitment to participate in the Continuum of Care system coordinated by Miami-Dade County. Miami- Dade County's Continuum of Care system has been recognized nationally as a successful model for homeless assistance. In an effort to help communities throughout the country fund their continuum of care systems, HUD issues an annual Super Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOF A) for Homeless Continuum of Care programs, For the last six funding cycles, the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust has served as the lead agency in coordinating the application for funding to HUD. This maximizes the services to the homeless population throughout Miami-Dade County. HUD encourages the preparation of consolidated applications, as it allows for local municipalities to pool resources. As part of its application, the Homeless Trust applies for the combined pro-rata shares for all the municipalities within Miami-Dade County. These are: Miami-Dade County ($6,157,583); City of Miami ($3,516,713); City of Hialeah ($1,496,297); City of Miami Beach ($766,963); and City of North Miami ($115,687); for a total of$12,055,243, On April 2, 1996, through Resolution No, 96-21938, the City of Miami Beach authorized Miami-Dade County to utilize the City's allocation of funds under the SuperNOF A. Every subsequent year, Miami-Dade County has continued to apply for the City's pro-rata share, The Miami-Dade Homeless Trust convenes a "SuperNOF A Working Group" to develop the local gaps and needs analysis, and subsequent listing of local funding priorities. Representatives from entitlement jurisdictions (such as Miami Beach) are invited to be a part of the Working Group, The Working Group met from March 13 to March 21 st to develop the gaps and needs analysis and listing of priorities. A public hearing was held on March 28th and the Working Group reconvened later that day to develop the final priorities. A list of priorities is attached, and includes: Rank 1 Priority Need Permanent Housing 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Transitional Housing Transitional Housing Transitional Housing Permanent Housing Transitional Housing Permanent Housing Permanent Housing Services Only Services Only Transitional Housing LETTER TO COMMISSION April 20, 2001 Page two Descrintion Singles or individuals (mental illness, substance abuse or dually diagnosed)] Families and individuals (with substance abuse treatment) Families and individuals (mentally ill or dually/multi-diagnosed) Families and individuals (non-disabled) with case management Families and individuals (mentally ill or dually/multi diagnosed) Families and individuals with HIV/AIDS Individuals with history of substance abuse Individuals with HIV / AIDS Health Care Supportive Services (for Shelter Plus Care programs) Homeless youth On March 30th, the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust issued a Request for Applications (RF A) for project sponsors interested in providing, or continuing to provide, the priority housing and services needed. On May 11th the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust will approve the recommendations of the selection committee with regards to the RF A. The City of Miami Beach Police Department's Homeless Assistance Project will prepare and submit an application to Miami-Dade County under this RF A for funding of the outreach team activities. If submitted, said application will be brought to the Commission for retroactive approval during the May 16,2001 Commission meeting. HUD requires that applicants for funding under the SuperNOF A obtain and submit a Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan from the entitlement jurisdiction where the activity is to be located. In accordance with the City's adopted Consolidated Plan, each such request requires City Commission review and approval. Therefore, any projects and activities recommended by the County selection committee to take place in Miami Beach will be considered by the City Commission at the May 16,2001 Commission meeting, in order for them to be included in the final application submitted to HUD. The final SuperNOF A application will be submitted on May 29th to HUD. For your further information and review, attached you will find the following documents: .

City Maaager A RESOLUTION' F THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING DADE COUNTY TO UTILIZE THE CITY'S ALLOCA nON OF FUNDS UNDER THE NOTICE OF FUNDING AVAILABILITY FOR CONTINUUM OF CARE HOMELESS ASSISTANCE SUBJEcr, ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing Dade County to utilize the City's allocation of funds under the Notice of Funding Availability for Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance (Super NOFA Application) to make funds available for housing and services for homeless persons. BACKGROUND: Metro-Dade County, thorough the Dade County Homeless Trust, is preparing a "consolidated application" for the Dade County Continuum of Care and Services, in order to maximize the County's services throughout Dade County. The Notice of Funding Availability issued by HUD established maximum amounts of funds available for counties and municipalities and lists $829,999 available to the City of Miami Beach. Rather than apply independently, local municipalities are "pooling resources", and Dade County will then prepare the "consolidated application". The application to be filed by Dade County will not include specific projects, but rather, will allow for submission of competitive RFP's to the Homeless Trust. This is the same process that was utilized last year, and Miami Beach benefitted from the County's continuum of care system. Therefore, participating in this manner again this year, is viewed as the most appropriate use of the grant funds. AGENDA ITEM Co1.\< ~-2-l1(, DATE ANALYSIS: All projects and services proposed under the application, will require either a "Section 213 Letter of Support" or a "Certificate of Consistency with the City's Consolidated Plan", The Consolidated Plan states that "No shelter or SRO units will be funded due to the substantial commitments in these areas made in previous years. Special needs housing can be considered on a case-by-case basis when there is community support". Further, the Consolidated Plan indicates that "No homeless shelters are proposed for Miami Beach....Support thorough existing providers are ranked as a priority and represent a continuation of existing policies." The Dade County Homeless Trust has been informed of the City's Consolidated Plan requirements indicated above, and understands that all Proposals (RFP'S) received by the Trust for services in Miami Beach, will be required to receive approval from the Miami Beach City Commission in the form of either a Certificate of Consistency or Section 213 Letter of support. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing Dade County to utilize the City's allocation of funds under the Notice of Funding Availability for Continuum of Care Homeless Assistance (Super NOFA Application) to make funds available for housing and services for homeless persons throughout Dade County . \f"' JGP/HSM/STP/stp Attachment ATED APPPLICATION SUPER NOFA CON~~~~NUUM OF CARE HOMEL~~RKING GROUP ---.-, SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS DATE TIME ACTIVITY March 6 - 10,2001 Working Group (WG) appointed March 13, 2001 10:00am . . a1 Meeting and review of renewal needs March 15,2001 1:00 pm OrgaRlZatlon Review of survey results March 19, 2001 10:00 am Review of gaps and needs analysis chart; preliminary March 21, 2001 10:00 am priorities developed . .
