Douglas Garden is submitting a third and a fourth grant application to U.S. HUD for a total of
$188,208. These grants are to be utilized by Douglas Gardens to continue to operate and enhance
their existing scattered site housing program by providing twenty-five additional scattered site
housing units and supportive services to formerly homeless persons with disabilities, for a period
of five years.
These four applications from Douglas Gardens are to be included in an application to be submitted
to U.S. HUD by the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust (Homeless Trust) in response to the annual Notice
of Funding Availability (Super NOF A). The Homeless Trust submits a County-wide application to
U.S. HUD on behalf of local housing providers requesting funding under the Super NOF A.
U.S. HUD requires that applicants for funding obtain and submit a Certification of Consistency with
the Consolidated Plan from the entitlement jurisdiction where the activity is to be located for each
application. In accordance with the Consolidated Plan adopted by the City, each request for a
Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan requires City Commission review and
approval.
On May I, 1996, a Douglas Gardens representative appeared before the City Commission requesting
a Certification of Consistency with the City's Consolidated Plan for a proposal to acquire, rehabilitate
and operate the Mayfair Hotel as a residence for formerly homeless persons with disabilities. The
City Commission did not act to issue the Certification of Consistency.
On May 29, 1996, Douglas Gardens filed a complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (U.S. HUD) , styled Douglas Gardens Community Mental Health Center of Miami
Beach. Inc. v. City of Miami Beach CO.. et al, U.S. HUD Case No. 04-96-0292-8, alleging
violations of the Fair Housing Act, involving the Mayfair Hotel. The case alleged discrimination
on the part of the City against Special Needs groups.
On January 22, 1997, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 97-22269, approving and
authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute a Conciliation Agreement by and between the City
of Miami Beach, Douglas Gardens and U.S. HUD, in settlement of the lawsuit. As part of the
settlement, the City issued a Certification of Consistency with the Consolidated Plan to Douglas
Gardens to provide housing services.
Also as part of the settlement, the City provided Douglas Gardens with $750,000 in HOME Program
funds to acquire the Mayfair Hotel. Subsequently, Douglas Gardens acquired the property and
completed a rehabilitation of the building in 1998.
Every year, since 1995, Douglas Gardens has been providing twenty-two units of permanent housing
for formerly homeless persons with disabilities at the Mayfair Hotel, 1960 Park A venue, Miami
Beach. Supportive services for the residents of the Mayfair Hotel are provided at the Douglas
Gardens Clinical Offices at 701 Lincoln Road.

Douglas Gardens will continue to provide supportive housing for the formerly homeless. The Plan

Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, approving and authorizing the City Manager to
issue Certifications of Consistency with the City's Consolidated Plan to Douglas Gardens
Community Mental Health Center of Miami Beach, Inc. to utilize funds provided directly by the
