   Miami  Gardens, Florida  33169  On  February  23, 2011, the  City  Council  approved  the  Substantial  Amendment  (NSP3  Application) to  the  2010 ‐2011  Annual  Action  Plan  which  depicted  the  proposed  activities  to  be  carried  out  and  the  budgets  allocated  for  each  activity.  The  Plan  was  subsequently  submitted  to  and  approved  by  the  U.S. Department  of  Housing  and  Urban  Development.     In  June  2011, the  City  of  Miami  Gardens  solicited  proposals  from  qualified  developers  for  the  use  of  NSP3  funds  to  create  affordable  housing  opportunities  within  the  City.   Staff  recommended  two  (2) proposals  for  funding  which  were  approved  by  the  City  Council  on  September  14, 2011, RUDG ‐The  Commons, LLC  and  the  Miami ‐Dade  Affordable  Housing  Foundation, Inc.    Current  Situation   The  City’s  Plan  included  the  acquisition, rehabilitation  and  resale  of  abandoned  and  foreclosed  single  family  properties  but  it  did  not  include  the  redevelopment  of  foreclosed  vacant  land  nor  did  the  Plan  include  rental  housing  as  it  only  specifies  homeownership.  The  project  to  be  carried  out  by  RUDG ‐The  Commons, LLC  entails  the  redevelopment  of  vacant  land  for  rental  housing.  In  order  to  proceed  with  the  expenditure  of  these  funds, it  becomes  necessary  to  amend  the  NSP3  Plan  to  include  redevelopment  and  rental  activities.  The  funds  will  continue  to  benefit  low ‐ and  moderate ‐income  persons.    The  budget  will  be
