FACT SHEET
WHO WE ARE:
Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers, LLC, was established in 2017. We are a for profit organization
currently located at 1490 NW 3rd Avenue, Suite 106, Miami, Florida 33136. This organization is founded
on removing barriers encountered among youth and young adults between the ages 14-25 living in the City
of Miami. Our mission is to provide mentorship while uniting the diverse cultures in underprivileged
communities by exposing them to entrepreneurship opportunities while educating them in life skills training
and promoting successful ways for maturing from an adolescent to a young adult.
WHAT WE DO:
We offer participation in our paid on the job training followed by job opportunities as well as
entrepreneurial opportunities for residents between the ages of 14-25, living in underprivileged
communities within the City of Miami. Our most current on the job paid training and job placement
opportunities are offered through our EDBB All -Star Youth Escape Car Wash Detail - Second Chance
Initiative, launched in August of 2021, amid the pandemic. Our carwash initiative has been successful in
improving the quality of life for our participants by offering many of them a second chance in becoming
productive citizens and assuring job placement after completion of their job training. Our mobile carwash
pop -ups have also allowed our participants to provide services at many community events and businesses
within the City of Miami. Our program has two components, since we cater to youth and young adults, we
have both a Work Force Training Program and a Youth Program. Below are the details of both
programs:
WORK FORCE PROGRAM:
After completion/graduation of our work force program, we assist our graduates entering the workforce by
offering them job placement opportunities within the car wash industry. We are currently in the process of
equipping all of our car detailing vehicles which will allow us to dispatch multiple teams of 5-7 workers
to different locations and on multiple contracts. Our program also offers entrepreneurship opportunities
where we teach participants how to become business owners and provide them with the necessary trainings
and tools they need to succeed. We have also partnered with Career Source and other organizations, mentors
and professionals who assist our participants with entering the workforce upon completion of our program.
We host and participate in networking events, hiring events and community events in order to expose our
participants to potential workforce opportunities. Although, our hope is for our participants to continue
working with us in the car wash industry and expand our services, we do understand that for many of them
this is just a steppingstone and so, we provide them with the opportunity to fulfill their dreams and teach
them how to break through any barriers that may prevent them from doing so.
YOUTH PROGRAM:
Our Youth Program takes place during the spring and summer breaks. Our secondary school participants
and college participants are given the opportunity to be a part of our program for one (1) week during Miami
Dade County Public School Spring Break and four (4) weeks during the Miami Dade County Public School
Summer Break. During this time, participants receive professional and soft skill trainings, group and one-
on-one mentorship and car wash detailing trainings. At the end of the spring break session
participants receive a stipend ranging between $150 - $200 (depending on the number of hours worked).
Since the summer break program is more intense and longer, each participant is compensated $15 per hour
for their participation.

Growing up in an underprivileged community,
I understand the barriers many of our youth are
facing today. Our underserved communities are infested with gun violence, crime, and poverty.
Determined to make a positive difference and help change the narrative among our youth hence I
created, EDBB Allstars Detailing Services Summer Car Wash Camp. We hired twenty-five (25)
youth from different communities within City of Miami and Miami -Dade County to earn and learn
during a four -week program. The youth then, received on the job training from the EDBB carwash
team. They participated in several trainings during these weeks such as New Employee
Orientation, Money Management Tools, Positive Thinking, and Customer Service Skills. They
also received empowerment from community leaders and City of Miami Police staff. The youth
were taken on fieldtrips allowing them to be exposed to City of Miami and Miami -Dade
Commission Meetings, The Miami Dolphins
Football Training Camp, Community Pop -Up
Events, and much more. After completion of our
four -week summer break program each participate
received a $15 per hour stipend for the hours worked
as well as volunteer hours. This program was a
success and a game changer for the youth in our
community. Our true mission was realized as these
youth were taught to always dream the impossible
and believe God will show them that all things are
possible.

My Experience with The EDBB Allstars has been nothing short
of amazing. I have gained so much knowledge, met important
people and learned great car wash skills. Working at the car

Escape Spring Breaks
Experience
EDBB Allstars Detailing Services
spring break youth escape experience
was very inspiring and rewarding. We
hired twenty-five (25) youth from different communities within City of Miami and Miami -Dade
County to earn and learn for one week. At the beginning of the week the youth participated in
money management, positive thinking, and customer service trainings Our true mission was
realized as these youth were taught to always dream the impossible and believe God will show you
that all things are possible. They learned the meaning of breaking barriers that they may face in
life and how not to use negative language like "but I can't" or "those white folks won't give me a
chance", because these are all self-inflicted barriers we create. The youth then, received on the job
training from the EDBB carwash team. This gave me an opportunity to observe my team in action.
It was great to see the compassion and leadership skills shown towards these youth by my team.
Once trained on all car detailing positions the youth were divided into groups and assigned specific
jobs like, tire specialist, interior specialist, window specialist and vacuum specialist. Each youth
that completed the spring break training was compensated a $150 stipend and was taken out for a
celebration dinner at Golden Corral. This experience was beneficial for both the participants and
the EDBB team. It benefited all participants who successfully completed the spring break training
because they will be given the opportunity to participant in our 2022 Summer Carwash Youth
Escape Initiative, and it benefited the team because it better prepared them to operate the summer
program.

PRIOR YEAR PROJECT SUCCESS STORIES:
SUCCESS STORY NO. 1
Our first success story was finding my father Randy Hudnell. One day God asked me "how can I save the
world and forget about my own. With that though in mind I found my father who was homeless and on drugs
at the time. It was a challenge looking past him being an absent parent but with God's permission I was able
to forgive my father for his shortfall and offer him a life changing opportunity through employment with
Encouraging Dreamer's Breaking Barriers Allstars Detailing Service. Mr. Hudnell, now has a stable job as a
car tech specialist/record keeper, he has his own place and is no longer homeless. Our next mission is to
assist him with his dream of opening his own business of selling nutritious and delicious organic and natural
food and drinks. — ljamyn Gray, CEO of Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers, LLC
SUCCESS STORY NO. 2
The second success story is helping groom and mentor Antiwone Johnson, who has been a part of
Encouraging Dreamer's Breaking Barriers Allstars Detailing Service from its start. His dream is to someday
own his own security company. As a result of shadowing the owner of EDBB, Antiwone has learned the tools
needed to operate and manage his own business. He is now the proud owner of A3 Security Services, LLC,
which is another service provided under the EDBB umbrella.
— Ijamyn Gray, CEO of Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers, LLC
SUCCESS STORY NO. 3
Our third success story was the hiring of a young man name Robert Whittle. He was featured on a
documentary — Behind the Bars in Miami, where he was in Bootcamp after serving 51/2 years in prison. He
was released in June of 2021, and since his release from prison he has been employed by Encouraging
Dreamer's Breaking Barriers Allstars Detailing Service. As a result he now has a stable source of income,
has opened a bank account and has transformed his mind into being a model citizen and employee.
— Ijamyn Gray, CEO of Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers, LLC
SUCCESS STORY NO. 4
The fourth success story is the hiring of over 20 youth from different communities and creating a safe haven
through our carwash youth escape initiative. These youth are learning the true meaning of "One Brother
One Hood". Each day they realize that this carwash is a life changing opportunity where we wash away our
past while waxing into a brighter future

Girl Power Rocks, Inc, located in the heart of Historic Overtown, provide 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 girls ages 7 to 17. The mission of Girl Power is
to empower girls and their families to succeed in order to protect, restore and preserve the family
unit.
The agency serves girls throughout Miami Dade County with specific concentration in Overtown,
Liberty City, Little Haiti, Brownsville, Allapattah and the Richmond Heights communities. Girl
Power programs provide safe spaces where girls can express themselves with confidence,
enthusiasm and without judgement. Programs include Summer STEAM Workforce Training
Camps, After School, Sister Circle Mentoring, Girls' Choir of Miami and Girls Intervention
Programs. The activities and services include academic support, life skills, workforce soft -skills
training, yoga, meditation, journal writing, art, dance, etiquette, conflict resolution &
reconciliation, service -learning projects, college and heritage tours, trauma informed individual
and group therapy and Parent Support Groups.
Girl Power's seven -week STEAM Workforce Training Program is an exciting hands-on program
designed specifically to help at -promise girls learn soft work -force skills and will
serve as a valuable resource for recruiting more girls into engineering and robotics at the middle
school level training them to be leaders in science, technology, engineering, art, and math
(STEAM). The under -representation of at -promise girls in STEAM is deeply rooted in unequal
gender norms that tell girls they are not cut out for subjects that require problem solving and an
inquisitive mind The goal of SSWTC is to prepare girls for the workforce of the future and
offer them a summer experience that provide opportunities to learn, achieve and excel in science,
technology, engineering, arts and math. We continue to see the affects COVID-19 caused and
at -promise girls were left even further behind when compared to other youth. Girl Power's
SSWTC cultivates learning skills that are applicable throughout life, problem solving, create
technology and science -based solutions which are critical to the advancement of at -promise girls'
health, education, finding their voice and empowerment.
SSWTC will be held in person at the Girl Power Headquarters located at 1600 NW 3rd Avenue,
Suite 100, in Overtown, Monday through Friday„ beginning June 20th, 2023, and ending on
August 4th, 2023, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. SSWTC will serve approximately thirty girls
throughout the summer engaging them in a variety of focus areas with specific outcomes in each
area. Girls will earn approximately $11 per hour stipend (FL's minimum wage), while
participating in the Summer STEAM Workforce Training Camp. Each girl will be required
to submit an essay stating why she wants to be in the program, two recommendation letters to
qualify for the program and at least one letter must be from a teacher. Stipends are paid at the
conclusion of the summer camp and is based on attendance.
Girl Power takes a serious approach to inspiring at -promise girls to think outside the box and see
the connections between STEAM and job skills training as a catalyst into the workforce in a
career of their choice. We work with local partners and hire culturally competent
trainers/facilitators who can successfully engage, retain student 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 program components that keep girls engaged and
excited about showing up each day eager to learn and grow. In addition to STEAM and
workforce training, we incorporate fitness, field trips, college and career readiness in partnership
with Miami Dade College, as well as in -person visits to local colleges, universities and
businesses.

Beyond COVID-19
Girl Power's 2023 Summer STEAM Workforce Training Camp will help at -promise girls begin
to recover from the devastations of the coronavirus and regain some of the skills and leaning they
lost over the past year. Girl Power has 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. Our target population and their families have been adversely affected by the
pandemic so SSWTC is the perfect choice to help them learn in an interactive, hands-on
environment. The Program's many other advantages include:
SSWTC offers at -promise girls an alternative from virtual and common classroom learning and
support girls with a hands-on approach and problem solving. 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. We will continue to engage girls in their education and help them gain additional
knowledge and skills that can help them 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 Summer STEAM Workforce Training Camp promotes cultural competencies and
incorporates at -promise girls' community values, beliefs, and interests to create a reciprocal
relationship between Girl Power, students and their parents/caregivers and our hope for a more
beloved community.
NOTE: Although we are planning for an in -person program, we are also making backup plans
for an on-line and hybrid model and learning if needed.

The Need
There is no other home in the state of Florida to house girls aging out of foster
care -- this will be the first.
Too many young women in Miami are unhoused or at risk of becoming
homeless
► In 2020 -7,000 young women 'exited' the foster care system
► In 2021 that number was -6,500
► 20% of those were instantly homeless
► 40% more will become homeless within 18 months
► 33-37% of all Florida youth experience homelessness by age 21
These young women are at higher risk
► 2x more likely to have at least 1 child by age 19
► 2.5x more likely to become pregnant
► Florida is 3rd in the nation for sex trafficking
► They are over -represented among sex trafficking victims
We can improve their life outcomes
► A stable living situation
► A steady figure (mentor) who supports their aspirations
► Life skills and educational support
► Mama Hattie's House will offer all of this - and more.

Introducing Mama Hattie's House (MHH)
"A Place to Call Home"
► The mission of MHH is to offer a 24-hour safe and stable sanctuary for girls
aging out of foster care, exiting detention, or transitioning from

► MHH will serve as a permanent home base for Girl Power's programs,
including classrooms, a large multi -purpose room, fitness rooms, a music
room, technology (STEAM) lab, private counseling rooms, a reception area,
administrative offices, meeting and conference spaces.
► Most importantly, MHH will be "A Place to Call Home" for 40 girls [20 who
are ages 18 - 21, and 20 who are ages 11-17], providing a safe and nurturing
environment with access to supportive services.
• MHH will serve its residents and its neighbors with retail and public spaces
offering valued products and services and providing business support for
start-ups and local businesses.

Re: Overtown Youth Center, Inc. (OYC) Youth Internship Program Proposal 2023
Dear Mr. McQueen:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal for the OYC's Youth Internship Program with
the CRA to provide youth with a multitude of opportunities to develop workforce readiness skills
learn career pathways, receive professional mentors, and provide a gateway to a network of
employment providers, increasing their chances for future success and economic self-
sufficiency.
OYC is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to uplift South Florida communities by offering
equitable, high -quality programs and assistance. OYC is committed to strengthening
communities by strategically focusing on bridging educational, social, emotional, health, and
economic gaps. We serve more than 3,000 youth and adult community members throughout
southern Florida, and function as a civic influencer and a catalyst for community change through
a comprehensive program framework that blends, academic and vocational services,
healthcare, civic engagement, college and career services, employment assistance, mentoring,
and youth empowerment.
OYC believes that workplace exposure opportunities are integral to the development of
workforce readiness and sustained permanent employment. Since 2016, OYC has provided
more than 500 job and internship placements to 150 youth ages 16-24. Participating in youth
intern/work at OYC program sites and at more than 20 non-profit and business partner worksites
for up to nine weeks during the summer and for year-round placements as possible.
Program Success Story:
A core component of OYC Miami's College and Career Programming includes a series of
workshops focused on job readiness, exposure to career and post -secondary educational
opportunities, and financial literacy. Financial literacy workshops in particular focus on
expanding youth knowledge of core skills that promote long-term economic sustainability such
as budgeting, saving, understanding credit, establishing bank accounts, etc. When youth are
placed in internships/employment opportunities, the OYC team also works closely with youth to
help youth practice some of these financial strategies during their internship/employment
experience.

to successfully reach this goal by saving $500 during her summer placement. Over the course
of the next year, Sheyla set two additional financial goals and by Summer 2022 she successfully
saved $2,000 in total. Sheyla shared that "working over the course of the year [she] noticed that
[she] was able to save from attending financial literacy sessions. During each work/internship
experience, [she] decided to increase [her] savings goal to see if [she] can meet or exceed the
amount. Attending sessions taught [her] how to budget and have money for emergencies. OYC
gave [her] experience as a first-time working student. Also, it gave [her] experience working with
students like me".

OVERTOWN YOUTH CENTER
OYC Miami (OYC) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to uplift South Florida communities
by offering equitable, high -quality programs and assistance. OYC is committed to strengthening
communities by strategically focusing on bridging educational, social, emotional, health, and
economic gaps.
The agency currently serves more than 3,000 youth and adult community members throughout
southern Florida. OYC functions as a civic influencer and a catalyst for community change for
marginalized South Florida residents and uses a comprehensive program framework that blends,
academic and vocational services, healthcare, civic engagement, college and career services,
employment assistance, mentoring, and youth empowerment. The program provides
comprehensive services to youth ages 5 - 25 and their caregivers and families within Overtown.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
OYC believes that workplace exposure opportunities are integral to the development of
workforce readiness and sustained permanent employment. OYC is now seeking resources to
offset anticipated funding reductions, sustain the College and Career Readiness footprint, and
provide a steady continuum of youth progress towards a living wage in the careers of their choice
and life as positive contributing citizens. Since 2016, OYC has provided more than 500 job and
internship placements to 150 youth ages 16-25. Participating youth work at OYC program sites
and at more than 20 non-profit and business partner worksites for up to nine weeks during the
summer and through year-round placements when possible.
OYC's Youth Internship Program aims to help youth transition successfully from high school into
young adulthood. OYC serves as a resource that provides opportunities for these young adults
to become successful in life via unique exposure experiences. These opportunities give them
access to various employment fields, higher education institutions, technical and trade schools,
etc. Evidence of success is seen as enrolled youth complete the comprehensive, year-round
program, graduate from high school, engage in post -secondary education, and are placed on
temporary and permanent job sites.
This comprehensive career preparation model ensures equitable access to the knowledge and
skills necessary for a successful transition to post -secondary education and the workforce. OYC
has nearly two decades of experience providing direct service to marginalized Miami -Dade

Inspiring Civic Engagement (ICE)
The ICE initiative was launched in 2022 with a focus on civic engagement curriculum for
middle and high school students consisting of three pillars: 1) Voter Advocacy, 2) Social
Justice and 3) Global Citizenship. OYC Miami will support "ICE" youth leaders in building
a student -led, trusting, strong, and positive team culture while enabling them in creating
and understanding the "ICE" culture and understanding the value of being a part of
"ICE".
Arts, Culture, Enrichment & Exposure
One of OYC Miami's fundamental beliefs is that every child has a gift and a talent. OYC
provides enrichment programming like art, music, dance, and history classes. Additionally,
OYC Miami believes that exposure is the catalyst for youth development and is a key
element for students reaching their full potential. OYC Miami offers field trip opportunities
that include theatrical plays, musicals, sports events, movies, nature trips, leadership trips,
service -learning trips, and other outings to broaden their perspectives; as well as provide
students opportunities that are not afforded to them.
OYC Miami specifically focuses on providing enrichment opportunities for youth in the
visual and performing arts as art uses the power of words, images, and movement to
communicate feelings and to evoke feelings in others. Art -related enrichment activities
include dance, music, spoken word/poetry, drama, photography, painting, drawing,
sculpture, and more. Instructors and community partners lead enrichment sessions with
students through high -quality instruction and help prepare students for showcases, art
installations, and/or professionally produced performances. Students are encouraged to
participate in a variety of art mediums throughout the year in order to express themselves
through creative outlets. Field trips (exposure trips) supplement these experiences as
students may be able to attend special events and visit venues that promote art and
culture.
STEAM Initiatives
OYC Miami offers STEAM activities for 100% of its students to bridge exposure gaps,
career gaps, and industry -specific gaps based on ethnicity, gender and/or sexual
orientation. Offerings include but are not limited to Robotics, Genetic Studies, Project -
Based Learning, Computer Science. Nature Studies, Engineering, Digital Arts and Design,
Visual Arts and Performing Arts, Culinary, Aviation Studies, etc. The STEAM programming
allows students to utilize elements of thinking and doing simultaneously. Family STEAM
Nights are also offered to engage caregivers in STEAM learning with their students.

OYC Miami Summer Program
During the Summer Program, OYC Miami students engage in full day programming
inclusive of academic support, character -building activities, community service, physical
fitness, visual and performing arts, STEM enrichment, social emotional wellness activities,
college and career readiness activities, and a variety of field trips to venues youth would
not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. High school students prepare for
college entrance exams, apply for college, visit local colleges/universities/technical
schools, and attend financial literacy workshops during the summer months. Eligible youth
also have the opportunity for full time summer employment through OYC Miami
collaborations with multiple community partners.
Honey Shine Mentoring Program
Honey Shine Inc. was founded in 2002 by Tracy Wilson Mourning and began as a
volunteer -led mentoring program that aimed to expose girls from underserved
communities to healthy lifestyles and to encourage the balancing of mind, body, and soul.
As the need in the community increased, along with an increasing number of girls, Honey
Shine formalized into a 501c3 to provide direct services to girls through afterschool
programming, "Aspire to Shine" empowerment workshops, and summer programming.
In 2020, Honey Shine Inc. programming merged with OYC Miami, and Honey Shine is now
the gender -specific programming component for OYC Miami. Honey Shine Programming
takes place after school and during full day programming and/or weekend activities.
Honey Shine programming is designed to enrich the lives of our Honey Bugs through
S.E.L.F. (STEAM, Empowerment, Literacy, and Fitness) enrichment activities.
Camp Honey Shine
Camp Honey Shine is a signature component of the Honey Shine mentoring program
experience offering girls in grades K-12 with a high -quality, 7-week summer program
through full -day programming Monday through Friday. Camp Honey Shine is designed
to enrich the lives of our Honey Bugs through S.E.L.F. (STEAM, Empowerment, Literacy,
and Fitness) enrichment activities. Camp Honey Shine also provides an environment for
Honey Bugs to:
• Build social emotional wellness, physical, and cognitive skills
• Develop values and a positive sense of self-worth
• Develop their voice
• Explore their direction in life through exposure to diverse enrichment activities
including but not limited to dance, art, swimming, spoken word, literacy, health and
wellness activities, character development, STEAM sessions, college and career
readiness activities, and educational and culturally relevant field trips
Camp Honey Shine is hosted annually at the Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart and
OYC Miami. All camp activities place a strong emphasis on social emotional wellness
(SEW) with staff and community partners serving as role models and fostering a safe,
supportive environment.
Band of Brothers Programming
Band of Brothers (B.O.B.) is a gender -specific initiative that was envisioned as several staff
at OYC realized the need for mentorship specific to males served through OYC
programming. In 2020, an OYC student lost his life to gun violence and staff reflected on
the challenges associated with the how the power of negative influences on the "street"
can outweigh positive influences on youth even when surrounded by consistent, positive
role models.
The B.O.B. vision is to expose young men to numerous resources and opportunities that
will aid in their educational and social development and empower them to become
positive contributing citizens (PCC). This vision is supported through the provision of
mentorship, workshops, program activities (year-round), and special events that support
the needs of the students in areas such as character development, self-esteem
enhancement, college, and career readiness, understanding their culture and history, self-
identity, combating negative influences, and creating a community of male support.

Project more particularly described in the Scope of Work for the Project and the Project Budget attached hereto as
Exhibit "B" and Exhibit "C" respectively (collectively, the "Scope of Work and Project Budget"), and
incorporated herein, which have been approved by the SEOPW CRA and the Grantee.
4. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date written above and shall
terminate upon the earlier of one (1) year, full disbursement of One Hundred Thirty -Nine Thousand Two Hundred
Twenty -Seven Dollars and Zero Cents ($139,227.00), or earlier as provided for herein; provided, however, that the
following rights of the SEOPW CRA shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement: to audit
or inspect; to require reversion of assets; to enforce representations, warranties, and certifications; to exercise
entitlement to remedies, limitation of liability, indemnification, and recovery of fees and costs.
5. DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT.
a. GENERALLY. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the
SEOPW CRA shall make available to Grantee up to One Hundred Thirty -Nine Thousand Two Hundred Twenty -
Seven Dollars and Zero Cents ($139,227.00). In no event shall payments to Grantee, under this Agreement, exceed
One Hundred Thirty -Nine Thousand Two Hundred Twenty -Seven Dollars and Zero Cents ($139,227.00).
Payments shall be made to Grantee on a reimbursement basis or directly to vendors on behalf of Grantee, only after
the SEOPW CRA has received and approved requests for disbursement in accordance with the SEOPW CRA and
Grantee approved Scope of Work and Project Budget.
b. PRE -APPROVAL OF EXPENSES. Grantee agrees to submit to the SEOPW CRA all
requests for the expenditure of Grant funds for pre -approval by the SEOPW CRA. Failure to submit said requests
prior to incurring expenses may result in the Grantee bearing the costs incurred. The SEOPW CRA shall review
said requests to ensure that the expense sought to be incurred by the Grantee is an expense within the Scope of
Work and Project, and the SEOPW CRA reserves the right to deny any and all requests it deems to be outside of
the Scope of Work and Project Budget.
c. REQUESTS FOR DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT. All requests for the disbursement of
Grant funds by the Grantee shall be certified by the Grantee's authorized representative. All requests for
disbursement of Grant funds must be in writing and must be accompanied by supporting documents reflecting the
use of Grant funds and/or expenditures incurred, and that said request is being made in accordance with the Project
Budget and for expenditures incurred during the Term of this Agreement, as reflected in Exhibit "C". For purposes
of this Agreement, "supporting documentation" may include invoices, receipts, photographs, and any other
materials evidencing the expense incurred. The Grantee agrees that all invoices or receipts reflecting the expenses
incurred in connection to the Project shall be in the name of the Grantee, and not in the name of the SEOPW CRA
in light of the Grantee's inability to bind the SEOPW CRA to any legal and/or monetary obligation whatsoever.
The SEOPW CRA retains the right to request additional supporting documentation, or additional explanation for
any and all expenses incurred by the Grantee. Grantee's failure to provide additional supporting documentation or
additional explanation regarding expenses incurred shall serve as grounds for immediate termination of this
Agreement, and the Grantee shall bear the costs associated with any expenditures not approved by the SEOPW
CRA prior to the date of termination. The Grantee understands and acknowledges that the SEOPW CRA shall not
disburse Grant funds for any expense that has not been previously approved by the SEOPW CRA in accordance

d. CASH TRANSACTIONS PROHIBITED. The parties agree that no payment will be made
to the Grantee as reimbursement for any Project -specific expenditure paid in cash. Grantee acknowledges that a
cash transaction is insufficient per se to comply with record -keeping requirements under this Agreement.

duplicate copies of the policies of such insurance with the SEOPW CRA. Grantee shall require all contractors and
subcontractors to comply with the requirements set forth in Exhibit D and further list the City and SEOPW CRA

BACKGROUND:
A Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community
Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") by a four -fifths (4/5ths) affirmative vote after an
advertised public hearing, ratifying, approving, and confirming the Executive Director's
recommendation and finding that competitive negotiation methods and procedures are not
practicable or advantageous pursuant to sections 18-85 and 18-86 of the code of the City of
Miami, Florida, as amended, as adopted by the SEOPW CRA; waiving the requirements for
competitive sealed bidding as not being practicable or advantageous to the SEOPW CRA;
authorizing the allocation of funds to 241 NW 17th Street, LLC, a Florida limited liability
Company, in an amount not to exceed Five Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents
($550,000.00) ("Funds") for additional costs associated with the renovation and rehabilitation
("Purpose") of Sir John Guest House located at 241 N.W. 17th Street, Miami, Florida 33136
("Property").
In 2020, the SEOPW CRA Board of Commissioners approved resolution CRA-R-20-0008 authorizing the
issuance of funds in the amount of $400,000.00 to rehabilitate Sir John Guest House, a two-story
residential building consisting of 23 single rooms and five (5) shared bathrooms. As an all-inclusive "flat -
rate" housing building, Sir John Guest House will allow low-income residents to enjoy affordable, secure,
safe, clean, and private housing in Historic Overtown.
Since the initial allocation of funds was approved, a required 40-year certification was conducted in
August of 2021 that revealed significant structural issues placing the building in the jurisdiction of the
Unsafe Structures Board and other required work items that were not part of the original scope of work
and related funds requests. In addition, the Coronavirus disease ("COVID-19") pandemic has resulted in
Packet Pg. 132
3.7
a significant increase in the cost and availability of materials and the cost of labor. Due to these issues,
additional funding will be required to complete the purpose of the Property.
On January 30, 2023, the Property permit was approved, as a result, to comply with the Unsafe Structures
Board, the Purpose of the Sir John Guest House must be completed by August 28, 2023.
JUSTIFICATION:
Section 2, Goals 4 and 6, of the SEOPW CRA 2018 Redevelopment Plan Update ("Plan") lists
the "creating infill housing, diversity in housing types, and retaining affordable housing" as a
stated redevelopment goal.
Florida Statutes, Section 163.335(6) of the Community Redevelopment Act found and declared
that there exists " ... a severe shortage of housing affordable to residents of low or moderate
income, including the elderly ... [and] such condition[s] affect the health, safety and welfare of
the residents ... and retards their growth and economic and social development .... ".
Section 2, Principle 2 of the Plan also provides that the "neighborhood has to retain access to
affordable housing even as the neighborhood becomes more desirable to households with greater
means" as a stated redevelopment principle.
Section 2, Principle 3 of the Plan further provides that "there must be variety in housing options"
as a stated redevelopment principle.
FUNDING:
$550,000.00 to be derived from the SEOPW Tax Increment Fund, entitled "Other Grants and
Aids," Account Code No. 10050.920101.883000.0000.00000.

Mr. McQueen,
I am writing to request a grant of $550,000 to complete the affordable housing project located at 241
NW 17 Street Miami, FL 33136 ("Sir John").
Sir John is a two-story residential building consisting of 23 single rooms and 5 shared bathrooms. It is an
ideal residence for members of the community to enjoy affordable, secure, safe, clean, and private
housing in Historic Overtown. Historically, guest houses, or rooming houses, have been a large part of
the fiber of historically African -American communities, first -generation immigrant communities, and
many other communities in the City of Miami. As an all-inclusive "flat -rate" housing building, Sir John
allows low-income residents to enjoy the housing environment they deserve. Residents of Sir John can
save money without the worries of unpredictable utilities thus allowing them to financially prepare for
transitioning from a room, with shared bath, to a full housing setting such as an apartment or home. Sir
John creates an ideal opportunity for residents transitioning, either out of homelessness or an
involuntary downscale, to avoid homelessness by creating a below -market housing option.
Since my initial grant request in April of 2020, a required 40-year certification was conducted in August
of 2021 that revealed structural issues (which put the building in the jurisdiction of the Unsafe
Structures Board) and other issues that were not part of the original scope of work and related grant
request. In addition, the pandemic, inflation, the cost of materials, and the cost of labor has materially
increased since my initial grant request. Overall, all of the foregoing factors have increased the project
cost. Please note that construction will be a very basic retrofit to a 1941 building in order to refresh the
interior and exterior, reinforce the structure, and bring the building up to code where required.
With respect to the construction status of the project, my plans were submitted in August 2022 with the
permits approved on 1/30/23. As this building is currently under an order of the Unsafe Structures
Board, all permits must be closed by 8/28/2023.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Amani Kancey

To Director of Southeast Over -Town Park West Community Redevelopment Agency:
As President of Poinciana Village Condominium Association, I would like to thank you
and your Staff for graciously accepting the meeting with us this past January 4th, 2023 and
heard our concerns.
As you know this Association is located at 201 and 269 NW 7 Street, Poinciana Village
Condominium an it was established in 1988 and is one of the oldest homesteads in Historic
Over -town. Per presented reports the buildings have weathered 34 years standing central to
construction occurring all around them, and now, is in dire need of structural, protective and
decorative uplift with the following projects:
1. Building Painting (3 buildings)
2. Elevators Modernization (2)
For that reason, we would like to express our joy and gratitude for your contribution
towards these projects that will be in an amount not to exceed the $500,000.00.
The association fees are currently $438.00 per month, monthly operating account is
approximately $30,000,00 and monthly expenses are $28,000.00, which sometimes this
allows us to have the opportunity to add to the Reserves when possible. Unfortunately, we
have experienced a series of roofing, concrete, electrical and plumbing repairs, as well as
assisting some homeowners with their home damages due to leaks or losses from common
areas, especially for the past couple of years.
We continue to demonstrate an ability to maintain the operational upkeep, however; these
above detailed expenses are the result of an aging building in need of upgrades.
We all want to thank you in advance for your consideration and for any assistance you can
provide to our Association.

in part, by any act, omission, default, professional errors or omissions, or negligence (whether active or passive) of
the Grantee or its employees, agents, or subcontractors (collectively referred to as "Grantee"), regardless of whether
