Staff Recommends: Approval of attached Resolution.
Explanation:
The Local Housing Assistance Plans have been created to support housing rehabilitation, first time home ownership, acquisition, emergency repairs, disaster recovery assistance, and program administration.
State of Florida Fiscal Year 2014-2015 requires that 20% of the allocation must serve persons with special needs, with priority for persons with developmental disabilities.
The Center for Independent Living of Broward, Inc. (CIL) specializes in services to the special needs community including those with developmental disabilities.
On May 6, 2015, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2015-101 approving CIL as a sub-recipient of funding under the City's SHIP Program Special Needs/Barrier/Free Activities.
City recommends amending the Agreement to extend the timeline until April 1, 2018 to facilitate continued services as required in the Agreement using original SHIP funding available in account number 64.1500.15200.554.009202.
