2. BACKGROUND AND SCOPE

The City of Miami Beach receives annual HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support the creation and preservation of affordable housing for low income households.

The City allocated its annual HOME funds to owner-occupied rehabilitation programs for eligible owner occupied properties within City limits. Each rehabilitation project may receive up to $40,000 in assistance.

The Office of Housing and Community Services (HCS) manages the program, including eligibility determinations, contractor qualification, and compliance oversight. Applicant eligibility is based on income and property standards. All awards are issued as deferred payment loans secured by a mortgage, restrictive covenant, and a promissory note with a 15 year term.

The City of Miami Beach receives an annual allocation of HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to support the creation and preservation of affordable housing for low income households. During FY 2022 and FY 2023, the City committed its HOME allocations to homeowner programs, including rehabilitation assistance for eligible owner occupied homes within City limits. Each rehabilitation project may receive up to $40,000 in funding.

The Office of Housing and Community Services (HCS) administers the HOME funds, participant eligibility, contractor eligibility, and program compliance. HCS determines the eligibility for all applicants by assessing income and property standards. All awards are disbursed via a deferred payment loan, secured by a mortgage agreement with a restrictive covenant and promissory note for fifteen (15) years.

Contracto contractors and keep the solicitation open for the purpose of prequalifying additional contractors maintain the licensing, insurance, and qualifications required by the City to be prequalified for future projects awarded through this procedure.

The City of Miami Beach seeks applications from qualified contractors to establish a pre-qualified pool of contractors for the future competition of rehabilitation projects in accordance with the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), which shall ensure homeowners have access to qualified contractors for all owner-occupied repairs; ensure that projects are awarded in a competitive manner that maximizes available funds; ensure homeowners have a platform for performance evaluation of contractors; ensure contractors have a clear guideline to complete the work and receive timely payments; ensure vendors comply with the Building Department, Code Compliance and insurance requirements.
