PROGRAM'S ANTICIPATED REVENUES
FOR THE NEXT TWO (2) FISCAL YEARS
Despite our reduction in funding for the current fiscal year, we anticipate that, for the next
two (2) fiscal years and beyond, we will receive at least the same level of funding as we did
last fiscal year. As a matter of fact, once the property is completely renovated, we expect to
be providing a significant increase in the provision of services and thus receiving a parallel
increase in funding. We have been made to understand that there will be more Federal
funds available for the agency. The School Board intends to increase our funding once we
can provide an upgraded facility to accommodate an increase in students. Based on our
ability to provide more intensive and increased services, we also anticipate that Miami -
Dade County and the City of Miami will approve increased funding to the Agency.
Currently, we are not able to give specific amounts that we will receive from each source,
but with the provision of new services and the continued provision of current services, we
anticipate we will receive, at a minimum, the following (per annum):
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY (FOR ATI PROJECT) $500,000.00
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY (FOR NEP PROJECT) $100,000.00
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY (FOR ICC PROJECT) $200,000.00
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD $400,226.00
(FOR JANET RENO NEW CHANCE SCHOOL)
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD S 85,000.00
(FOR TLC PROJECT)
CITY OF MIAMI-CDBG (FOR ATI PROJECT) $100,000.00
CITY OF MIAMI-LETF (FOR TLC PROJECT) $100,000.00
Once our property is completely renovated, we will be implementing a daycare program
geared towards "WELFARE TO WORK" mothers. This was the main reason why we
received our $2.2 Million Federal Grant to begin with. We therefore anticipate that the
Federal Government. will be providing significant funding for the ongoing operations of the
Day Care Program.
