Pilot Program participants with shelter, food, and a weekly stipend of One Hundred Sixty Dollars
($160.00). Participants will also receive social services and financial management classes, and successful
graduates will be offered employment with the SEOPW CRA development partners.
CACS is a construction compliance and consulting firm that provides a range of services including
several construction trade certifications, job recruitment and placement, and wage mandate compliance
and monitoring. CACS also has several notable local partners including Coastal Construction, Miami

twenty-two (22) of the participants who completed their programs receiving jobs within the
Redevelopment Area. CACS will provide Pilot Program participants with comprehensive training for
positions as Construction Craft Laborer Levels 1 and 2.
Camillus has been operating in the Overtown community for over fifty (50) years as one of the largest and
most comprehensive providers of homeless housing and services. Complementing their social services,
Camillus has partnerships with several financial institutions including TB Bank, Iberia Bank, and Bank of
America who provide the residents with onsite financial literacy courses and workforce development
services.
It is the recommendation of the SEOPW CRA that the Board of Commissioners authorize the issuance of

Packet Pg. 39 1
Located in the heart of historic Overtown, Girl Power Rocks, Inc., has been a safe -haven for at -promise girls since its inception in 2000. Now in its
twenty-first year, the agency provides day and after -school social change programs designed to promote and foster positive social skills and behavior
as well as improve academic performance in at -promise adolescent girls ages 7 to 17. The mission of Girl Power is to empower girls and their
families to succeed to protect, restore and preserve the family unit. The agency serves girls approximately three hundred girls throughout Miami
Dade County annually, with specific concentration in Overtown, Liberty City, Little Haiti, Brownsville, Allapattah and the Richmond/Perrine
communities. Girl Power programs provide safe spaces where girls can express themselves with confidence, enthusiasm and without judgement.
Programs include Alternative to Outdoor Suspension, Summer STEAM Camps, After School, Mentoring, Girls' Choir of Miami and Girls
Intervention Program PLUS. Using evidenced based trauma focused curriculums, activities and services include academic support, social emotional
learning, life skills, health and fitness, yoga/meditation, journal writing, art education, etiquette, conflict resolution & reconciliation, service -learning
projects, workforce readiness, college and heritage tours, trauma informed individual, group and family therapy and Parent Support Groups.
Girl Power's 2021 summer program will be held in person at 1600 NW 3rd Avenue, Suite 100, in historic Overtown, June 21st through August 3rd
2021, from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. The six -week STEAM and On -the -Job Workforce Training Program (The Program) is an exciting program
designed is specifically to help at -promise girls learn soft work -force skills and to receive on-the-job training. Girls will learn and put into practice
relevant soft skills needed to gain meaningful and rewarding employment in the field of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) and
will receive firsthand training and perform tasks from qualified trainer/teachers.
During the six -week Program, girls will learn and apply the basics of science, technology and engineering theories, learn about and present projects
in Visual Arts (paintings, photography and/or jewelry making) and Performing Arts (dance, music and/or theatre). Part of their on-the-job training
(OJT) will include job shadowing or observing an experienced employee perform certain job tasks at the program site and at job locations. The goal
is to use the Program as a bridge to develop the skills, competencies and knowledge our girls need to carry out a role in a company/field of their
interest or within our organization. At the end of the Program, girls should be able to perform most or all the tasks they have learned without
supervision.
Girls will earn $8.56 per hour stipend (FL's minimum wage), while participating in the STEAM and On -the -Job Workforce Training Program.
Each girl will be required to submit a resume along with two recommendation letters to qualify for the program. At least one recommendation letter
must be from a teacher. Stipends are paid in three equal installments. The Program will equally benefit at -promise girls and employers by enabling
young girls who might not otherwise acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes for gainful employment in STEAM fields and provide employers with
an effective means to communicate and meet their demand for skills.
Girl Power's goal is to shift our focus on STEAM as an Approach and not as a Curriculum. This research -based approach incorporates both the art
and the science of teaching, training and learning, and will focus on creating a safe learning environment. Girls will learn to solve problems through a
innovation and design in more than one STEAM subject. They will participate in evidence based lesson designs and standards with a strong focus on
real -life, social -emotional connections between disciplines.

Girl Power takes a serious approach to inspiring at -promise girls to think outside the box and see the connections between STEAM and job training
as a catalyst into the workforce in a career of their choice_ We hire culturally competent trainers/teachers who can successfully engage, retain their
interest while delivering all program activities with fidelity and a standard of excellence. To ensure that all girls experience the full benefits of the
program, we offer a variety of activities that keep girls engaged and excited about showing up each day eager to learn and grow. In addition to
STEAM and On-the-job Workforce Training, we incorporate fitness, visits to local colleges, universities and businesses, and a College and Career
Zone.

Beyond COVID-19
Among other things, the 2021 STEAM and Workforce On -the -Job Training Program will help at -promise girls begin to recover from the
devastations of the coronavirus and help them begin to gain the skills they need for the workforce of the future. For the majority of participants this
will be their first in -person learning opportunity since the pandemic began. Girl Power have taken every measure possible to ensure we are closely
following CDC guidelines and everyone in our camp is properly protected and will remain safe during the camp. Since we know that our target
population of girls and their families have many challenges to overcome when attempting to gain workforce training and meaningful employment,
the Program is the perfect choice to help them learn in an interactive, hands-on environment. The Program's many other advantages include:
Simple Method of Learning — The Program offers girls an alternative and reprieve from virtual and common classroom learning and typically lead
to better results since girls can see how tasks are completed with a hands-on approach making the learning easier and more exciting.
Professional Trainers/Teachers - To minimize the risk of mistakes and accidents during the Program, we will assign an experienced culturally
competent staff member or professional teacher/trainer to execute all trainings. By learning from a trained professional, girls can quickly learn
workforce skills while the trainer also serves as a safety net and guide just in case something does not go according to training outlines.
Girls Become More Productive - One of the greatest benefits of the Program is that we can begin the training with the girls right away allowing
them to immediately see themselves as being productive. Allowing girls to learn on a job rather than in the classroom means that they can start
contributing to the workforce right away. Although we are planning for an in person program we are also making backup plans for on-line
and hybrid training and learning if needed
Quicker Learning - For many at -promise girls, one of the biggest challenges to learning during the coronavirus pandemic, was staying motivated
and engaged in on-line learning and without becoming frustrated and disheartened losing sight of their educational goals. The 2021 STEAM and
Workforce On -the -Job Training Program will reengage girls in their education and help them gain the knowledge and skills to excel in their
academics and in the workforce of the future.
Girl Focused — Changing how girls see STEAM and the workforce is the underlying goal of the Program. The STEAM and Workforce On -the -Job
Training Program promotes cultural competencies and incorporates at -promise girls' community values, beliefs, and interests to create a reciprocal
relationship between our agency, students and their parents/caregivers and our hope for a more beloved community.

SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Board Chair Jeffrey Watson Date: June 3, 2021 File: 9170
and Members of the CRA Board
Subject: Resolution authorizing negotiations for
funding for Enhanced Policing
Services within the Redevelopm
From: Cornelius Shiver
Executive Director
Enclosures:
BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency (the "SEOPW CRA") seeks authorization to enter negotiations with
the Chief of the City of Miami Police Department for Enhanced Policing Services within the
Redevelopment Area for fiscal year 2021-2022 ("FY 21-22 Program"), and with the City Manager for the
City of Miami (the "City Manager") for additional safety measures for targeted areas. The total funding
shall be an amount not to exceed $600,000.00.
In an effort to enhance the general patrol services provided by the City of Miami Police Department
within the Redevelopment Area, the SEOPW CRA has funded several prior community policing
innovation programs within the Redevelopment Area, including the Police Visibility Pilot Program -
CRA-R-08-0024 ($343,392.00), CRA-R-09-022 ($344,000.00), CRA-R-10-0047 ($500,00.00), and CRA-
R-11-0059 ($250,000.00); the ShotSpotter Flex Gunfire Alert Pilot Program - CRA-R-13-0067
($75,000.00); the CRA Police Camera Pilot Program - CRA-R-14-0069 ($275,000.00) and CRA-R-15-
0011 ($1,025,000.00); and for Enhanced Policing Services - CRA-R-15-0057 ($900,000.00) and CRA-R-
17-0004 ($750,000.00).
The FY 21 — 22 Program will provide enhanced baseline police services by hiring two (2) full-time BEAT
police officers assigned to Zone 5 which includes NW 5t1i Street to NW 14th Street and NW 1st Court to
NW 3" Court. Funds would also be allocated for the costs of new cameras and monitoring services. This
FY 21- 22 Program is meant to improve public safety by providing services, including but not limited to,
foot and/or motorized patrol, camera surveillance, and community policing techniques.
The SEOPW CRA will also be negotiating with the City Manager for additional safety measures,
including additional lighting for targeted areas that pose a risk to the homeless population within the
Redevelopment Area. These targeted areas are: under the I-395 on 1st Place between 13th Street and 14th
Street; under I-95 on l I' Street between 3" Avenue and 5' Avenue; under I-95 on loth Street between 3"
Avenue and 5' Avenue.
JUSTIFICATION:
Packet Pg. 46
Section 163.335 of Florida Statutes, (the "Act"), states that the existence of slum and blighted areas
greatly contributes to the spread of disease and crime causing economic and social burdens to the
community, thereby negatively affecting the tax base and impairing sound growth within the community.
In response to the existence of slum and blight within the State of Florida, Section 163.340(9) of the Act
allows for the creation of community redevelopment agencies to address these conditions by engaging in
"community redevelopment", defined as "undertakings, activities, or projects of a ... community
redevelopment agency in a community redevelopment area ... for the reduction or prevention of crime".
Section 163.340(23) of the Act further provides a means for community redevelopment agencies to
address crime through "community policing innovations" which is defined as "policing technique or
strategy designed to reduce crime by reducing opportunities for, and increasing the perceived risks of
engaging in, criminal activity through visible presence of police in the community, including, but not
limited to, community mobilization, neighborhood block watch, citizen patrol, citizen contact patrol, foot
patrol, neighborhood storefront police stations, field interrogation, or intensified motorized patrol."
Section 2, Goal 6, on page 10 of the 2018 Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Updated
Redevelopment Agency Plan (the "Updated Plan"), lists the " [i]mprove[ment of] the [q]uality of [l]ife for
residents" as a stated redevelopment goal.
Section 2, Goal 9, at page 10, further lists " [f]oster[ing] safe community initiatives to provide for public
safety through Community Policing Innovations" as a stated redevelopment goal.
The goal of the Program is to reduce and prevent crime within the Redevelopment Area, thereby
enhancing the quality of life of its residents and encouraging growth and development in the area in
accordance with the Plan.
