It is an area that due to its economic conditions is in need of redevelopment. The 1980 Census reported that the mean family income in the area was $12,293.00 ($239000 nationally). It has been estimated that 29% of the families living in the area have incomes below the poverty level. There is an average of three (3) children per family, and a high percentage of households are headed by a single parent. Forty-three percent (4 3%) of those single parents are females who are welfare recipients, or are victimized by the high cost of child care in the area. It is estimated that there are 3,000 children under the age of six (6) living in the area, with only 600 of them currently enrolled in a child care facility.' y, PEOPOSED Allapattah-Wynwood Community, Development, Inc. , �' F{ proposes to build an affordable and quality child Y' , care facility for the children of the area, with =�2 the assistance of the City of Miami and the State of Florida.

This is particularly true in the inneroity where fewer privately run facilities exist, and residents are less able to afford such use or to travel any distance to reach public parks. The loss of such Opportunities then contributes to decreased community and familial participation in recreational and social sotivities, and a loss of pride' and 'involvement in those resources that remain. This has a twofold impact in the nei hborhood• residents are open to less bonatruotiveuses for their leisure time, and parks become targets for abuse and home to the criminal elements. 'PROPOSED A line item appropriation of $1.64 million from the state to fund both capital improvements to `—"- Miami's inneroity parks, and the immediate operational needs of the renovated- facilities, ; Six key inneroity parks have been identified ;for Improvements.
