Res. 482-426, May 11, 1982 It is recommended that the Commission authorize the execution of the attached agreement for consulting services with Behavioral Science Research Institute, a non-profit research development corporation, for a Comprehensive Housing and Social Needs Survey of the Haitian Community in the Edison - Little River area, per the attached resolution. On May 11, 1982, the City Commission approved Resolution 82-426 allocating $22,000 for the preparation of a Comprehensive Housing and Social Needs Survey of the Iiaitian Community. This project is to be jointly funded by Dade County which on July 6, 1982, passed a motion approving the allocation of. $20,000 for this study. The City will contract with the consultant to undertake this project. Behavioral Science Institute, a non-profit research development corporation, was selected to undertake this analysis based on their previous experience in conducting similar type studies within the Haitian and Cuban Refugee Communities. They have also successfully provided services to the City as nart of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1976-86. The need to undertake this important analysis is becoming more critical due to thq continuing decline of housing and environ- mental conditions within the Edison -Little River Area which will be further exacerbated by the impending release of Haitian detainees from Krome Avenue. At the present time we have insufficient data on the actual. number of refugees residing within the Edison -Little River Area which has been estimated between 15,000-50,000 people.
