Update on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the
City of Miami Beach and the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust
The purpose of this Letter to the Commission is to provide an update on the status of the
Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") between the City of Miami Beach ("City") and the Miami-
Dade County Homeless Trust ("Homeless Trust").
During the April 28, 2023, City Commission meeting, the Mayor and City Commission adopted
Resolution No. 2023-32595, approving the draft MOU with the following revisions:
(1) to make the 90% housing retention performance indicator a requirement instead of an
aspirational goal;
(2) to give the City the right to terminate the MOU and receive a refund of project funds
contributed if the Homeless Trust fails to achieve the 90% housing retention requirement;
(3) grant the Homeless Trust the right to terminate the MOU by repaying the City 100% of
all project funds; and
(4) to increase the City's contribution by an additional $1 million to $2 million in the
aggregate, subject to and contingent upon subsequent City Commission approval and
appropriation following approval of the MOU by the Miami-Dade County Board of County
Commissioners.
On May 24, 2023, the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust sent a correspondence to the
Administration requesting additional revisions to the terms of the MOU, as approved by Resolution
No. 2023-32595. The Administration will further negotiate the terms of the MOU with the Homeless
Trust and endeavor to present the revised MOU to the Mayor and City Commission for
consideration at the June 28, 2023, City Commission meeting or soon thereafter.
