The Police Department supports the efforts of those groups
dedicated to helping the less fortunate by providing food,
shelter, and counseling. This type of assistance ultimately
benefits both the City and the Police Department by reducing the
possibility of criminal activity by individuals simply attempting
to survive. The Samaritan Salt Factory offers such services to
the homeless and indigents suffering from alcohol or chemical
dependency and who have completed a drug rehabilitation program.
There are no other prerequisites for admission. The program
offers a structured atmosphere designed to assist these
individuals in once again becoming productive citizens.
The funding sought will be utilized to pay for counseling,
equipment, and other miscellaneous costs associated with
operating the program. Funding is contingent upon the continued
delivery of services to City of Miami residents and the continued
acceptance of referrals from organizations within the City of
Miami.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution authorizing a
contribution to the Samaritan Salt Factory, in an amount not to
exceed $20,000, funding to be from the Law Enforcement Trust
Fund, Project No. 690001, Index Code 290949-270, be approved.
