BACKGROUND
On December 21, 1994, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (U.S. HUD)
officially designated specified areas within Dade County as an Urban Enterprise Community. As a
result of this Federal designation, Dade County will receive $2,947,368.00 in Federal Social
Services Block Grant (SSBG) funds and $500,000.00 in State of Florida facnds.
In order to meet the contractual requirements of U.S. HUD and the State of Florida, Dade County,
the cities of Miami, Homestead and Florida City were required to prepare a Strategic Plan (the
"Plan'). The Plan is based on the premise that real economic opportunity will be created if the
strengths and assets of the wider economy can be linked to the distressed neighborhoods of the
Enterprise Community and the residents of those neighborhoods.
The implementation of the Plan requires the creation of a new responsive entity which will further
collaboration, cooperation and partnership among citizens, educators, business, labor, government
and community -based organizations to achieve the objectives of the Plan.
This entity, the Federal Enterprise Community Council which is being created by Metropolitan
Dade County on June 4, 1996, will monitor the implementation of the Plan (see attached County
ordinance); make recommendations to the County Commission on ways to enhance program
effectiveness; recommend uses of Federal and State funds committed to the Plan; help attract
additional involvement, and ensure that Federal and State funds are used in the manner
prescribed by the Plan, to achieve Plan's goal
