President 2 M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 ELIGIBILITY 1-INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY & EXPERIENCE Miami -Dade Community College/InterAmerican Campus: O Is an Hispanic Serving Institution of higher education according to the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965; O Grants 2-year college degrees (Associate(9t Arts and Associateoof,Science). O Is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) which is recognized by the U, S. Department of Education as a regional accrediting agency. O Is applying for a federal grant in the amount of $400,000 over a two-year grant period. O Is submitting only one application. O Is proposing at least one eligible activity. Bonus points: O The service area of M-DCC/IAC is the neighborhood known as Little Havana. The "transportation corridor" of Miami's Empowerment Zone cuts a swath through Little Havana. The project wiII be conducted in which is at the intersection of Little Havana and the Empowerment Zone in (East) Little Havana. OVERVIEW M-DCC's InterAmerican Campus is capable of developing a viable Community/Youth Center dedicated to improving the social, educational, and recreational situation of at -risk youths and empowering their parents to achieve economic self-sufficiency. The College's success is due to its: unique mission and community recognition; a functional and adaptable structure; accomplish- ments in a cost cutting environment; record of success in community empowerment; legacy of lasting benefits to the community; a well trained, experienced, and culturally competent staff; and, careful attention to expenditures and audits. THE INTERAMERICAN CAMPUS & ITS MISSION IAC: The InterAmerican Campus (IAC) is one 0-6, full -service campuses comprising the 125,000+ student Miami -Dade Community College (Ivi-DCC). Both the InterAmerican Campus and its service area --a Miami neighborhood designated La Pequena Habana (Little Havana) by the Miami Planning Department-- are 97% Hispanic. The Campus serves more than 8,200 recent immigrants and their children with English language training, college preparation, certificate pro- grams, community education, and a wide variety of associate (2-year) degrees. Classes are held at the College and in the neighborhood at public schools, churches, and community organizations. Cultural Competence: M-DCC has an unparalleled record of serving minorities: the system enrolls more Hispanic students and the most African -Americans of any college in the U,S. Staff at InterAmerican, like students, is primarily Hispanic: staff, 59%; students, 97%. Both groups are international in origin and share a common background and language. It is noteworthy that a significant number of faculty and senior administrators at IAC attended M-DCC. Mission and Programs: "M-DCC provides accessible, affordable, high quality education by keeping the learner's needs at the center of decision -making and working in partnership with its dynamic, multicultural community" (1999-2001 College Catalog). This mission is expressed in policies and programs. IAC is an "open door" institution providing challenging and accessible education responsive to national and local manpower requirements, and to the needs of adults seeking self-improvement. Thus, M-DCC/IAC: (i) has convenient daytime, evening, and weekend M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 schedules; (ii) emphasizes life-long learning for people anywhere in the life -cycle via distance and off -campus learning; (iii) provides financial aid for all needy students; (iv) offers career and technical education for meaningful employment, including certificates ranging from Microsoft Network Engineer to Child Care Worker; (v) provides transfer programs to 4-year colleges without loss of credits; (vi) teaches adult basic education for Iiteracy, English proficiency, and GED; (vii) provides workforce initiatives, services and programs to support economic develop- ment in its service area and the County; (viii) provides continuing education and community service programs for Local needs and individual interests (such as courses in recreation and per- sonal development); and, (ix) is successful with "hard -to -serve" clients with its personal and career counseling, an office for students with disabilities, educational enrichment, a cadre of professional tutors, and provides the latest in educational technology with wired classrooms, and hundreds of computers student and community use. Success and Community Recognition: M-DCC produces accomplished and self -actualized people: more than 80% of public school teachers in Dade County attended M-DCC; a similar proportion (80%) of students at the local State University attended M-DCC;IAC graduated from M-DCC. The community has responded with economic supporte hesM Miami-of Dade Community College Foundation is well on its way to raising one hundred million dollars. ( ORGANIZED FOR SUCCESS Struct /IAC follows a traditional hierarchical model where authority begins with the Board tierectors, Ainnd flows down through the President to various levels of departments and offices. Gi rrthe`h gh priority IAC's President has for the HUD Project, the Project Director will report directly to him. Biweekly meetings will apprise the President of progress so "minor" problems can be dealt with before they become serious. The organizational chart on the following page shows the relationship of the project to the school's departments, the City and CBOs. 11 Organizational Chart about here 11 Management: M-DCC has written procedures covering: personnel (employment, job descrip- tions, grievances, affirmative action, and termination); grants (negotiating, processing, closing out, documentation and record keeping); participant eligibility, enrollment, activities, referrals; completing, correcting, transmitting, and storing tracking/evaluation/outcome forms. Training: Staff is required to continually upgrade professional skills with seminars, workshops, and course work. The College provides in-service training to improve knowledge and skills through weekly and "on demand" workshops by its Training and Development Center. Flexible: The organization of the college is adaptive: during the Mariel boatlift, IAC quickly responded to the influx of Cuban refugees with vocational and language (ESL) programs; when people escaping the turmoil in Nicaragua arrived, the College provided scholarships; for Haitian youths without "papers," the College waived out-of-state tuition. Internal Support System: Each campus may draw on the strengths and programs of its five "sister" campuses. For example, the Wolfson Campus Loans its Outreach Specialist to IAC one day per week. (The HUD grant will support a full-time Coordinator with outreach responsibilities at IAC). The organization encourages cooperation: the School of Education, which serves all campuses, is housed at IAC, thus providing a mechanism for IAC to work cooperatively with the other campuses. Construction Management: In 2000, after 27 years as a "Center," IAC was designated a "Campus." The "new" Campus successfully planned and managed construction of a classroom building to accommodate its growing student body, and is now refurbishing another building. 4 Organizational Chart for M-DCC HUD Grant FR4630 Director Comunity Education (Kendall Campus) Dir Com- munity Educ. & HUD Dir affirmimm HUD Advisory Council PRESIDENT MDCC/InterAmerican Campus = Line of Organization = Line of Communication HUD PROJECT Academic Dean HUD Project Directo r Dean of Administration & Student Services Assoc.

This, coupled with financial controls and accountability, assures HUD funds will be judiciously spent, assets guarded, and financial data and reports will be accurate and reliable. Strict adherence to the College's accounting procedures and Odyssey MIS software enables tracking program activities and expenditures while protecting and securing grant funds. O Receiving/Disbursing: Checks are pre -numbered, blank checks are secured, bills are stamped "paid" and encoded with check number to avoid duplicate payments. O Fraud/Mismanagement: Fiscal responsibilities are shared, qualified personnel are hired and supervised, cash is deposited on day received, and there are written purchasing procedures. O AccountabiIity: M-DCC uses accrual basis accounting in accord with fund accounting principles, tracks expenditures by project, and quickly produces reports for managers. O Reconciliations: The general account and individual program accounts are reconciled monthly, regular weekly reports alert the President to cash flows and billings/collections. O Oversight: The President oversees internal financial monitoring, receives periodic financial reports which include: financial statements, budget analysis, financial progress and projections, and budget modifications. O Regulations: M-DCC complies with State and Federal financial procedures for educational institutions (e.g., HEGIS). O Professional Business Office: The College's fiscal personnel are professionals with years of experience in higher education, job training, and WAGES programs.

Students earn credit for working in CBOs in and nearby the Empowerment Zone: Little Havana, Little Haiti, Little Nicaragua (East Little Havana), Wynwood (Puerto Rican and Mexican American), and the African American Overtown area. IAC has commitments from 180 local agencies to provide supervised and meaningful work experience for students interested in: Animal Care; Adult Education/Literacy; Children/ Tutoring; Computers; Culture; Criminal Justice/At-Risk Youth; Community Development/ Education; Developmental Disabilities; Elderly; Environment; HIV/Health Care; and, Home- lessness/Substance Abuse. These CBOs, for example, accept IAC student interns concerned with homelessness: Camillus House, Daily Bread Food Bank, Miami Rescue Mission, Project Up -Start, Safe -Space Shelter, Touching Miami With Love, and the Woman's Place. Next year, IAC projects 8 faculty will supervise 246 students in 93 agencies for 3,444 hours. O Community Education: IAC provides a full range of educational and enrichment services to the community. Enrollment last year exploded, especially in Adult Education and Workforce Development.

O School of Education: Since the School of Education may be supplying the majority of volunteers and interns to the Community/Youth Center (funneled through the College's Center for Community Involvement), it is important to highlight the grants and partnerships 7 M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 recognizing the expertise the School of Education can bring to bear on the project: Grants: O Head Start/Early Head Start Contract: $237,700 to train teachers and teacher assistants. O Quality Enhancement Initiative Contract: Tuition for child care center employees. O Head Start Grant: $45,000 to infuse dual language curriculum into early childhood program. Partnerships: O With Miami -Dade County Public Schools for professional development of teachers. O With Florida International University (State System) for a Teacher Quality Institute. O With Barry University for a transfer agreement smoothing the transition from M-DCC's 2 year degree to Barry's 4-year program. O With Florida Memorial College (an Historically Black College) for a minority urban teacher education program. O With the Readiness Coalition for new school entrants. RESOURCES College Resources Donated to the Community: O Testing: IAC administers and evaluates scores on GED, TABE, and College Placement Test. The College transports community residents and public school students to its testing center for no -cost evaluations. O Technology: The College offers "VIP Passes" to local public school students to use IAC's 140 work stations. Computerized instruction is available in: English; Mathematics; ESOL; GED; Careers; and, Computer Programming, Literacy, and Applications. O Library: Another significant IAC resource for the community is the College Library with its computers and educational specialists. Selected Community Services: O Reading Buddies Program: IAC sends volunteer tutors to Auburndale Elementary School. O Future Educators of America: M-DCC's School of Education at IAC sponsors enrichment activities for students in the magnet program for future teachers at Miami Senior High. O Viernes Culturales: IAC provides operational support and exhibits for a monthly cultural street fair on nearby Calle Ocho (S.W. Eighth Street). O Cultural Exhibits: IAC currently exhibits original artwork at the Eastern National Bank. O Career Development Day: IAC and various CBOs (e.g., YMCA in East Little Havana) provide career awareness workshops and job shadowing opportunities for youths. O Stars Hope Project: IAC and the Dade County Hispanic Cultural Advisory Group sponsor cultural/educational events to raise money for scholarships for at -risk children. O Health Fairs: The College sponsors community health education events. O KAPOW: IAC, in cooperation with the County School Board, brings elementary school children to campus for two days of career exploration. O Day Care: The College provided seed money for two Day Care Centers for students, faculty, and community members. (The Centers are now self-supporting.) O Adult Education: The College provides adult basic education (vocational ESOL, GED, basic skills) in partnership with the Florida Department of Education, COFFO (farm workers), ASPIRA (Puerto Rican Youth), and other CBOs. O Recreation: Volunteers coach the basketball team at nearby St. Mathews Church. O Fundraising: IAC sponsors: annual canned food drive and community feeding day in partnership (with Salvation Army); toy and clothing drive (with Goodwill); and, book and plant sale (with United Way). O Jump Start: Each summer, at -risk youths improve study habits, learn basic skills, and participate in orientation and motivational sessions. 8 M-DCC/Intergmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 Capacity to Provide Economic Development Services: O WAGES: Until October 2000, Work and Gain Economic Self-sufficiency project provided . J,QDOOs of people over 16 with case management, training, job development and placement, teen pregnancy prevention, conflict resolution, and related services. O One Stop Resources Training Centers: The College enrolls 5,000 thousand people yearly in no cost degree and certificate programs, and provides English and literacy training, acculturation, work maturity and preemployment skills, and other employment, counseling, referral, and follow-up services. Community Partners for HUD Project: O ASPIRA: This Hispanic youth organization will .provide youth Ieadership training in Jose Ti i k a''rk, one of two parks in the "Transportation Corridor" of the Empowerment Zone. The other park, named for Roberto Clemente, has a facility staffed by ASPIRA. Thus, this project will utilize ASPIRA's expertise in youth programming in public spaces. ASPIRA will also Zink IAC to the local public schools through its participation in Gear Up, Talent Search, and 21st Century Learning Centers. Finally, ASPIRA will share "Lessons Learned" from projects funded by the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Governor's Drug Free Pro- gram, and Childrens' Service Council. ASPIRA is a national organization founded 20 years ago to serve at -risk youths. It operates in eight states and Puerto Rico. ASPIRA's Miami Office is in the Empowerment Zone. O Abriendo Puertas: This CBO, serving children and families in East Little Havana and the l ipowerment Zone since 1994, evolved from a demonstration project funded by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Abriendo Puertas, because of its unique program and structure, will play an important role in the HUD Project by: (i) linking IAC to a variety of CBOs and gov- ernment agencies, including Citrus Health Center, FIAC's "Lucha" Project, and the Depart- ment of Health; (ii) teaching staff" to conduct .family assessments_and helping them_iesign actioulans; (iii) removing the stigma of "free" services via trading social and educational activrtiesTor volunteer services; (iv) organizing parent meetings; (v) hosting HUD Advisory Council; (vi) assisting with outreach an promo ion; and, (vii) mobilizing and empowering at - risk families via membership in its "family -circles." O Centre d'I formation: A grass-roo s— itian American CBO in Miami's Little Haiti. This BO has a great deal of experience working with families engaging in Caribbean style child rearing which is often violent and here as viewed as child abuse. They will train M-DCC staff on how to co-opt parents of at -risk children into American methods of non-physical pun- ishment. In addition, the agency, with funding from United Way and several foundations, has devehped expertise in health awareness and cross-cultural attitudes toward health care. It will teach HUD staff how to approach subjects highly charged with emotion in a culturally sensi- tive manner, such as proper methods of hygiene, prophylaxis, and breast self-examination. They will be called upon to assist in training families about health issues. They will provide staff training to M-DCC O City of Miami/Parks and Recreation Department: The City will provide the bulk of the construction funds for the- CGmrnunity/Youth Center. (The College will supplement City construction money wit( $200,0004f its HUD award.) Summary: Thus, M-DCC/IAC has provided cornmunity leadership by: creating day care centers; designing and implementing WAGES programs (laden with case management and social services); providing volunteers and educational, vocational, recreational, and self -development programming; and, opening College facilities to the community. The College has garnered respect and credibility by educating the first generation of refugee children in the Empowerment Zone. 9 M-DCC/3nterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 TARGET AREA 2-SCOPE OF PROBLEM Little Havana: M-DCC's InterAmerican Campus (IAC) is in Miami's Little Havana and draws students primarily from this neighborhood. Little Havana (La Fequena Habana) is a Community Development Target Area in "need of long term economic development, revitalization, housing and infrastructure improvements" (Planing and Zoning Department, 1995). Compared to other neighborhoods needing renewal, Little Havana is the most populous, has the highest residential density, and the largest concentration of Hispanics (93 %, who are mostly Cuban); in recent years, however, people from more than 20 countries in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Spain --especially Nicaragua, Honduras, and Guatemala-- settled there. Location: Little Havana is West of Miami's downtown, adjacent to the Miami River, and general- ly bounded by 27th Avenue on the East, N.W. 7th Street on the North, S.W. 17th Street on the South, and the Metrorail on the East. Land Use: Little Havana is primarily residential (77.5%), with a combination of single-family, duplex, and multi -family structures, mostly apartments. Typical small businesses operate in commercial strips: luncheonettes, video stores, and Laundromats. Income: According to the latest Census, there are more than 70,000 people (closer to 85,000, if illegals are included) in Little Havana, with more than 9 in 10 Hispanic. Most came in a massive influx of legal and illegal immigrants arriving with the clothes on their backs, straining resources of a City that is 4th poorest in the nation (the poorest, if undocumented aliens are counted). Adjusted census data show Little Havana (vs. the City of Miami) having the: O Highest poverty rate: 37.44% people below the poverty line, 16.6% of families below poverty, and 45.69% children living in poverty. O Lowest income: $6,502 per capita income (vs. $14,000 in the County), $12,820 median household income (vs. $27,000 for County), and 35.6% female headed families (the family structure partially explains their poverty). O Largest concentration of people on government assistance: 5.24% TANF, 2.04% WAGES, and 17.04% on food stamps. (See. Table I, FL Department of Children and Families). O Greatest proportion of impoverished elderly, balanced by a rising youth presence: 22% older than 64, and 21 % under 21. O Highest unemployment rate in Miami: 14% unemployed, 56.7% labor participation rate. O Lowest rate of home ownership in the City: 13.0% owner -occupied units. Social Problems: Data in Table I (left) show Little Havana as poverty stricken, disorganized, and with many social problems, especially those involving youth. The results: poor educational at- tainment and dysfunctional behavior, such as crime and teen pregnancy. The solution, discussed below is social programming targeting youth and the community. O Education: The Table (right) is for the only high school in Little Havana, Miami Senior High. The student body is 85% Hispanic and relatively poor with close to a majority qualifying for free or reduced -priced lunch. Compared to all high schools in the district, Miami Senior has a higher rate of students: referred to drop -out prevention programs; classified at -risk; drop- ping out and truant; not promoted; channeled into Vocational Education programs; and, with limited English proficiency. Florida's schools are graded A to F on student performance in mathematics, reading, and writing based on Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) scores. Miami Senior is a "D" school. The two Middle Schools feeding Miami Senior (Citrus Grove Middle and Shenandoah Middle) are also rated "D." Of the 6 Elementary Schools in the feeder pattern, one (Kensington Park) is graded "C," and three (Auburndale, Shenandoah, Riverside) are "D." An analysis by the Miami Herald shows "poor" test scores on the State 10 M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 TABLE Y Social and Educational Indicators in Little Havana SOCIAL INDICATORS IN LITTLE HAVANA Rates County Little Rate Havana POVERTY -ADULT & FAMILY TANF-Public Assistance 3.990 WAGES -Welfare -to -Work 1.170 Medicaid Eligibility 12.530 Homeless 0.109 Food Stamps 10.650 Refugee Assistance 0.047 POVERTY -CHILDREN Foster Children Infant Mortality Medical Services Protect.

Source: M-DCPS School Profiles. 11 M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 463Q FCAT exam --and accompanying low school ratings-- are due to "poor" homes: for each percent of students receiving federally subsidized lunch, 4th grade FCAT reading level falls about one point. For the 5th grade, math scores drop by 3/4 point for each percentage point of poverty. The Table also shows Stanford Achievement Scores (median percentiles) in Reading Comprehension and Mathematics Applications are lower for Miami Senior than for district high schools generally. The Table also shows that, in spite of poor preparation, slight- ly more than 70% of the young people in Little Havana want to attend College. Yet, they are cognizant they have a great deal to overcome: only 60% surveyed say, "I am getting a good education." Thus, it is not surprising that InterAmerican enrolls the highest proportion of students needing remedial work of all MDCC campuses: In fact, 89% of Freshmen require at least one preparatory course in reading, writing, and/or algebra. O Crime & Quality of Life: According to the City Consolidated Plan, increased crime is contributes to the out -migration of middle class residents to the suburbs and motivation of some businesses to leave Miami. Poverty and crime are related: 84% of Miami's major crimes are concentrated in the eight CDBG target areas. Little Havana ranks second highest in crimes against persons (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) among the target areas, and first in property crimes (car theft, larceny, and burglary). O Delinquency: The Dade County Youth Crime Task Force prepared an "Assessment of Community Risk Factors for Youth Crime" in 11 communities in the County, including Little Havana. It examined poverty, community disorganization (e.g., inter -school transfers), vacancy and rental rates, neighborhood attachment (e.g., damaging school property, especial- ly by arson), grades, early initiation of problem behavior, number of liquor stores, etc. The report states: "There are several family risk factors that suggest Little Havana has an in- creased risk for youth crime. For example, the rates for treatment of substance abuse and mental health problems, juvenile arrests, and drug arrests suggest increased risk and are indirect measures of families with a history of problem behaviors or parental involvement." It concludes: the overall risk of youths in Dade County is "astounding" with those in Little Havana at moderate to high risk. SOLUTION Park Programming: According to page 119 of the City's 5-Year Consolidated Plan: "Long neglected by the limited resources available to fund City services, parks in the City of Miami had reached a deplorable condition when the Dade County Safe Neighborhood Park Bond Issue made available substantial funds for improvements. Still in question, however, is identification on of re- sources to make possible the creation of park programming, essential to quality of life concerns." Thus, this project aims primarily to provide social and educational programing in Jose Marti Park in Little Havana to reduce delinquency, strengthen families, and improve educational attainment. Secondarily, it provides a structure for community programming to address the needs of the unemployed, elderly, and disenfranchised. /1 Table I about here // 12 M-DCC/ Into.. ,rnerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - rR 4630 CONSTRUCTION 3-BUDGET O CASH CONTRIBUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION City of Miami: $1,111,000 Miami -Dade Community College/InterAmerican Campus: L 187'�TVtr- O INKIND CONTRIBUTIONS BY PARTNERS: O Aspira (See attached letter) Contributes: National Leadership Program Curriculum Materials $7,500 Local Travel $1,500 Counselor's Time @15% $5,500 O Centre d'Informacion: (See attached letter) Contributes: Local Travel $ 500 Counselor's Preparation Time @15% $4,000 O M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus (See attached letter) Contributes: Proj Director Time @15% $9,000 Office Space for Proj Coordinator (Year 1 only) $4,000 Office Supplies for Proj Director (Years 1 & 2) $720 x 2 $1,440 Office Supplies for Proj Coordinator (Year 1 only) $420 O Abriendo Puertas (Pending) EDUCATIONAL AND RECREATIONAL SERVICES AND PROGRAMS O DIRECT LABOR AND FRINGE BENEFITS Contributed M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus Project Director @ 15% T&E $60,000 * 15% = $9,000 salary $9,000 * 34.5% _ $3,105 fringe Year I Year II salary + fringe = $12,105 $12,105 Contributed Partners' _Salaries (No Fringe) Hard Dollars -HUD Project Coordinator @ 100% T&E $36,000 + 34.5% fringe of $12,420 = Educational Specialists $27,000/yr @ 35% T&E x 2 $27,000/yr @ 35% T&E x 3 @ 0% fringe (contract employees) $ 9,500 $ 9,500 $48,420 $48,420 $18,900 $28,350 Total Direct Labor & Fringe $88,925 $98,375 13 M-DCC/In erAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 COST TO HUD: Total costs for direct labor and fringe benefits are $187,300 ($88,925+98,375) including $43,210 leveraged from inkind contributions leaving and $144,090 requested from HUD.

COMMUNITY AND NEED Overview: This grant will help construct and provide recreational, educational, and support services for youth in a Community/Youth Center in Jose Marti Park. Note that the park will serve all groups, such as the elderly. These HUD funds, however, focus on low income and at -risk youth and their_ families. The project will also: satisfy indoor recreation needs; provide space for staff of Community Based Organization (CBO) and Parks and Recreation Department; be aesthetically attractive; provide room for additional programs; and, expand use of the park in rainy weather and on weekends and evenings. The building will improve quality of life and promote neighborhood revitalization. Supporting Data: According to the City's Consolidated Plan, Little Havana is one of eight City of Miami CDBG Target Areas. It is the most populous of the Target Areas and its 77,000 residents are primarily (93%) Hispanic. It is also the poorest Target Area with 37% living in poverty, 14% unemployed, and the highest percentage of people receiving public assistance or welfare -to -work money of any neighborhood in the County. Table I shows that its children are living in extreme hardship: the area is highest in infant mortality, medical services to children, child protective investigations, children under protective supervision, teen births, and repeat teen births. The neighborhood is in disarray with the highest rates in the County for aging and adult services, alcohol, drug abuse, and mental health problems. The Assessment of Community Risk Factors for Youth Crime cited earlier finds the overall risk of youths in Dade County "astounding" with those in Little Havana at moderate to high risk. The area has a growth pattern favoring younger children balanced by greater numbers of elderly. Thus, there will be a greater need for services for youth and the elderly. To reiterate: the Community/Youth Center is for both groups, although this grant focuses on youth services. There are more than 1,000 drug arrests in Little Havana yearly and the Target Area has the second highest rate of violent crimes. Crime and school performance are related, as children frustrated in school are truant and join gangs. The only high school in the Target Area (Miami Senior) is graded "D" by the state as well as the majority of its feeder schools. The high school refers 54% of its students to drop -out prevention programs compared to the County rate of 40%. The alienation of children vis-a-vis the community is clear from the number of their school suspensions (indoor and outdoor) and on campus crimes reported to the Dade County School Police. School disruption is not shown in the Table I, but is factored into the "moderate to high risk score" ascribed to the children of Little Havana by the Assessment of Community Risk Factors cited above. (It might interest the reader that the proposed Project Director, Dr. Lourdes Oroza, is a graduate of Miami Senior High School along with many of the faculty and administrators at M-DCC's InterAmerican Campus. Response to Need: Since East Little Havana has many social, educational, and economic problems, and is the "most deficient neighborhood" in the City in terms of open space and recreation 1 16 (Recreation Building Design Program for Jose Marti Park, Draft, May, 2, 2000), this grant proposes that Miami -Dade Community College's InterAmerican Campus and the City collaborate to construct a Community/Youth Center in Jose Marti Park and to operate social, recreational, and cultural services for the betterment of neighborhood youth. Funds are requested for two mutually dependent activities: (i) construction of a building, a public space, in Jose Marti Park with 11,000 usable sq/ft, and (ii) designing and implementing social, cultural, educational, and recreational programming for youth which will operate in the Youth Center. While the Center is under construction, the College will provide outdoor activities in the park; after the building is completed, indoor activities will be programmed. THE PROJECT _ Jose Marti Park: The park covers 10 acres in east Little Havana. According to the "Recreation Building Design Program for Jose Marti Park," (May, 2, 2000), the Hispanic community considers the park the most important in the City, and one of the most important in Dade County. Thousands of people throughout the County visit for special events. Since Jose Marti needs space for indoor recreation and program expansion, the City has committed approximately $1.8 million for a building in the park. /Please see following pages for site map and architectural rendering // Site: The park site is an elongated site adjacent to the Miami River and west of downtown Miami. The Miami River in the vicinity of the site including the Brickell area is expected to experience over $1.5 billion dollar construction boom in the next 5 years which will affect the neighborhood. . The recreation building will be centrally situated in then 10 acre park -- west of the swirnrning pool and south of the playground where it: (i) is easy to access from SW 4th Ave and 4th St as its entrance faces the playground (to the north); (ii) is close to the Centro Mater School whose students use the park regularly; (iii) permits optimum visual observation of all park activities; (iv) is a short, walk to bathrooms; (v) optimizes the view of open space; (vi) is close to off-street parking; and, (vii) it facilitates future expansion of both the park and building. Aesthetic: Jose Marti Park received several awards, including one for design excellence from the American Society of Landscape Architects. Therefore, the building will be cast to reflect this high quality of design Design: The building is being designed in a Spanish Mediterranean architectural style which is the one that the community preferred, . and is consistent with the architecture of other buildings in the park and its reinforces the Hispanic culture . The design also considers ways that can be connected with a future Gymnasium. There is an increasing number of cultural activities and events going on in the neighborhood; Art and craft space with a kiln will allow the youth, the elderly and families to learn and/or express their art, culture and creativity. Target Hardening: Building construction and design will be cognizant of the high crime rate in the neighborhood. Some examples: • Lexon plastic for windows openings ♦ Heavy gauge window frames or decorative iron bars • Steel door frames filled with concrete ♦ Doors open to the outside 1 MASTER PLAN 1 1r &W. 4TW AVG.

The building will be open during regular park hours: M-F, 9:00am-10:00pm on M-F; and, Sat -Sun, 9:OOam-6:00pm. Children will visit mostly after school (2:00pm-to 7:00pm); teenagers, after 4:00pm daily and weekends; adults, 5:30pm till closing, daily and weekends; elderly, in the morning. While the building will be used by all of these groups, youth will predominate. Approximately 150 people are projected to visit the building on weekdays, and up to 300 on weekends. Note that the building is not intended to be used as a day care facility. 20 PRE -CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY 1 Activity: 0 Schematic Design & Design development Major Tasks: 0 Task Force approval O Design modifications O Community approval Completion Date: 0 Completed Status: 0 Completed Products: 0 Design of building is finished O Architectural drawings and rendering of building O Staff administrative review & final approval Activities: The process to obtain the City of Miami funding took several years an many community meetings to develop the Design Program which guided the design of the proposed facility as well as review of the architectural drawings developed by the City's Architectural consultants. Prior to this process, the residents regained the use of the park which was controlled by gangs. The City constituted a Task Force and a Technical Committee overseen by a Project Manager / Architect from the City Planning and Zoning Department, to: (i) to plan a Community/ Youth Center for Jose Marti Park (ii) meeting high standards of design and esthetics, with (iii) community input. The Team met with residents, community stakeholders, experts, City planners, and neighborhood residents. It held neighborhood meetings representing different groups but mostly with children, teenagers and families that will use the facility. Thus, the planning process is "bottom -up" where the Task force and the Technical Committee develops a facility to meet expressed needs. Approval of the preliminary design and design development architectural plans has been obtained. The Team and Committee will again seek the advice and consent of the community and will respond with modifications as necessary. Persons Involved: The people completing this task constitute the Task Force, composed of individuals and staff of: Parks Dept.; Architects from Public Works; Community Development Dept.; East Little Havana Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET); Police Department; a State Representative; Little Havana Activity & Nutrition Center; UM/Casey Foundation; Kiwanis of Little Havana; Centro Mater School; YMCA; Latin Chamber of Commerce; Latin Builders Association; property owners; and, City residents. The Technical Committee is composed by the Project Manager, staff from Parks, Public Works and Building and Zoning Departments as well as from the Architectural consultants. Intermediate and End Products: The result: a building is conceptualized that meets community needs and aspirations. The design is in harmony with local housing and park construction, and placement of the building will not interfere with the park's operations, tranquility and scenic views. 21 CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY 2 Activity: 0 Develop construction documents Major Tasks: 0 Prepare construction drawings O Prepare material & performance specifications O Begin value engineering protocol O Obtain Davis -Bacon wage rates O.

Miami -Dade Community College (M-DCC) is com- prised of 10 schools, and the InterAmerican Campus is fortunate to house the School of Educa- tion. It enrolls over 4,000 students who are studying for Associate's degrees and certificates in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Child Development, and the Child Care Education Administrators Credential. The InterAmerican campus is experi- enced in dealing with at -risk students and provides "developmental" courses and English as a second language. In addition, the School of Education requires 30 hours of field experience which students may fulfill at the Community/Youth Center. M-DCC also has a strong Department of Community Education which has provided community outreach and courses, workshops, language and acculturation training, parenting workshops, recreational courses, and GED to more than one - thousand people each year. There is also a thriving Center for Community Involvement which places student volunteers and interns in community projects and schools. Internships: Like the School of Education, many M-DCC Schools and Departments make intern- ships available for credit seeking students. These include the Schools of Nursing, Business and Computer Information Systems, and Departments of Recreation, and Social Science. Students may complete internship and experiential hours at the Community/Youth Center. For example, Nursing students can assist with Health Fairs, provide instruction in nutrition, and immunize children; Education students can, of course, engage in tutoring and provide extra enrichment. Community Service: Students interested in Community Service are encouraged and placed in volunteer positions by M-DCC's Student Services Department. It places volunteers in a variety of programs, such as America Reads. Thus, students who would not ordinarily be involved in the Center will be encouraged to participate. Students in every discipline can find fulfillment in after - school programs. For example, Chemistry majors can direct a "Science Club," Computer Stud- ents may sponsor a "Computer Club," and so on. Thus, students' interests and talents can be utilized in any number of venues: to support a chess tournament, fashion show, or take children on field trips. Service Learning: The Center for Community Development will identify faculty who choose to use service learning as a teaching methodology and arrange for them to use the Youth Center as a service learning site. For example, an Accounting class may offer to complete income tax forms for families, or a Business class may "adopt" a group of teenagers and provide them with en- trepreneurship training. Students my be placed in any of 180 local agencies under supervision of College faculty. Next year, IAC projects Next year, IAC projects 8 faculty will supervise 246 students in 93 agencies for 3,444 hours. 29 M-DCC/Inte...merican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - eR 4630 Target Groups: Although the College has tentatively selected the target groups --youths and their parents.-- it cannot predict what programs and groups the community will target, or exactly when services will be offered. M-DCC is well aware that the neighborhood youth and their families will provide input into such decisions: the following plan includes participation of youth and families in order to select specific program options and timeframes. Individualized: While the College is large, it focuses on the individual student; witness its mis- sion statement which "places the student at the center of learning." Faculty Versus Community: The faculty mirrors the neighborhood: the majority of faculty are Hispanic and many attended Miami Senior High in Little Havana, which is just a few blocks from the College and the Empowerment Zone. Since the student body is also largely Hispanic, it is k likely that volunteers and interns will also mirror the demographics of the target population. This is ideal for role modeling that can make a difference in the lives of young people. Conclusion: The Community/Youth Center is an ideal venue for M-DCC to realize its commit- ment to community service, and to provide interesting, "cutting edge" internships for students.

Students needing tutoring receive homework help by the project's Educational Specialists and volunteer tutors. To help their families achieve self-suffi- ciency, the College's One Stop Resources Training Center will provide employment services, such as job development and referrals, educational vouchers, etc. Parents participate in work- shops on parenting skills, how to help their children in school, where to receive help, how to prepare healthy meals on a budget, opening a bank account, acculturation to the American sys- tem, etc. Space has been secured at two CBOs, Aspira and Abriendo Puertas, for family meet- ings. Case management includes supportive counseling of individuals and groups. (Note: Counsel- ing is supportive only; for in depth counseling and psychotherapy, children are referred to li- censed psychologists or clinical social workers.) At Least 50 people (youths and/or adults) will receive counseling, support services, or case management monthly. Results and progress are noted in confidential files maintained at the College until the Community/Youth Center opens. Persons Involved: The Project Director, who devotes 50% of his or her time to direct services (in the role of Educational Specialist), plus three additional p/t Educational Specialists, provide case management, counseling, workshops, etc. The student interns/volunteers provide coaching, homework help, organized team sports, etc. Counselors from Aspira, Abriendo Puertas, and the Colleges One -Stop Program assist with case management and parenting workshops. HUD Advi- sory Council. Intermediate and End Products: Fifty people (youths and family members) receive support services each month for 21 months (Months 1-2 are for start-up, and Month 24 is for close-out). 32 M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 PROGRAMMING ACTIVITY Activity: 0 Plan & execute community events Major Tasks: 0 Co-opt local civic associations, churches, schools, CBOs, CDCs, City Commission, and employers O Outreach to adults and youth O Hold separate events for youth and adults Completion Date: 0 Month 6 Status: 0 Pending Products: 0 At least one community/family activity each month serving a minimum of 1,000 people yearly Activities: At least one community/family event will be held at the park each months (excluding Months 1-2 for start-up, and month 24 for project close-out). Examples: neighborhood health fair, breast cancer marathon and fundraiser, "block party," mother/daughter picnic, beauty pageant, job fair, park clean-up, graffiti removal, father/son rope pull, Hispanic music festival, etc. Pro- ject staff will solicit community input on events to be offered. Parent/child events bond the child to his or her parents, and community events (such as park clean-up) strengthen the connection of children to community norms. Persons Involved: Project Coordinator, Educational Specialists, College Student Activities Of- fice, partnering CBOs, Health Department, student interns and volunteers. HUD Advisory Coun- cil. Intermediate and End Products: Twenty-one "participatory" events for at least 1,000 adults and children are held monthly. Priorities are established with community input. M-ACC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 PROGRAMMING ACTIVITY Activity: 0 Design educational & recreation programs Major Tasks: 0 Prepare and disseminate a schedule of proposed events O Identify space and venue (inside or outside Center building) O Identify interns and volunteers O Develop research and evaluation agendas, instruments, & train students to collect data O SDtaff training. Completion Date: 0 Month 7 Status: 0 Pending Products: 0 A daily schedule of events with appropriate rationales O A plan for project evaluation Activities: The Design Team has produced a tentative schedule of park activities and park venues. Activities include: entertainment recreation; holiday and summer camps; sports clinic; martial arts; arts and crafts (including painting, poetry, etc.); lectures, classes (homework, tutoring, computers, research, study and after school); adult education programs (e.g., GED); parenting classes; films, dance performances; clubs (drama, music, etc.); and, community activities (see, previous activity). These activities need to be "fleshed out" with their educational components clearly specified. For example, while volleyball is fun and healthy, it must be organized as an educational activity; that is, sports should promote good sportsmanship, conflict resolution, behaving within "rules," good communication skills, strategizing, etc. In addition, community input is important: do immigrants from a particular country prefer soccer or baseball, ballet or folkloric dance, and so on. Finally, the feasibility of each activity must be assessed vis-a-vis availability of: (i) student interns and volunteers with appropriate skills; (ii) alternate space since the Youth Center will not open until the beginning of Project Year 2. and, (iir) appropriate equipment. ctivities requinn ing versus open space in the park) will be iden- tified. A list of activities, times, and venues will be distributed throughout the neighborhood and discussed at a Town Hall meeting. Input and suggestions will be solicited about activities and available program space in the neighborhood to supplement the park venue. Volunteers and Educational Specialists to carry out specific activities will be identified. During this phase, The Project Coordinator will begin to develop evaluation tools and methodology. Interns and volun- teers will be trained to collect data necessary to assess the program. Persons Involved: This activity is conducted by the Project Coordinator, Educational Specialists, student volunteers and interns, community members, and the two partnering CBOs in the Empowerment Zone: Aspira, Abriendo Puertas, Center of Information. HUD Advisory Council. Intermediate and End Products: A list of activities and educational rationales is created with community input. An ongoing project evaluation is designed. M-ACC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - PR 4630 PROGRAMMING ACTIVITY-7 Activity: 0 Implement educational & recreation programs outside the Community/Youth Center building, in open park areas and in the neighborhood Major Tasks: 0 Recruit participants O Start programs in park & neighborhood O Collect data for evaluation Completion Date: 0 Month 8 and continuing Status: 0 Pending Products: 0 3 activities for youth sponsored by the College in the park O Monthly parenting workshops in the community O Program evaluation continues Activities: Educational and recreational programs, not requiring the Center's building, commence in the open spaces of the park. Youth "enroll" or sign-up for each program, bring consent forms signed by parents or guardians, and provide additional information (such as emergency contacts, names of adults permitted to pick them up at the park, allergies, name of doctor or clinic, etc.). Example: Aspira will establish a leadership club in the park similar to the one it operates under a Talent Search grant in Roberto Clemente Park, also in the Empowerment Zone. The College will set-up intramural clubs and sponsor other activities. While the Center is undergoing construction, the participating CBOs will make available space for monthly parent meetings and workshops. Persons Involved: Project Coordinator, Educational Specialists, student volunteers and interns. Staff of Aspira, Abriendo Puertas, Center of Information. HUD Advisory Council. Intermediate and End Products: Three activities for children are initiated (a total of 6 activity hours), operating weekly, 50 weeks a year, in the park. Each activity involves at least 10 child- ren, for a total of 30 children per week. Monthly workshops for parents are held in the communi- ty. At least 25 people attend monthly programs organized by Aspira and Abriendo Puertas.

At least ive activities per week for a total of 10 activity hours) will be schedul-ri. Ideas for new programs an ac!vtffes will be soug t rom both youth and -parents. A-dditional interns and volunteers will be identified. The College will maintain an office in the Community/Youth Center as a realization of its constant and continued presence in the communi- ty. As the HUD grant period ends, M-DCC's educational and recreational programming will be fully operational. The College Community Education De ailment will utilize the Center's four classrooms for programs, worlds s�a•rrd'class esire y t e co Persons Involved: Project Coordinator, student volunteers and interns, Educational Specialists, and staff of local CBOs. HUD Advisory Council. Intermediate and End Products: At least 5 M-DCC activities operate at the Center each week -. for a total of 10 activity hours. Each program engages at least 10 children, 100 per week for 50 weeks, yielding a total of 100 in the second program year. Monthly (and possibly more) programs for parents are will be held in the community. At least 10 parents are engaged in these programs, for an estimated total of 100 in the second program year. M-DCC will maintain an office in the Youth Center to supervise the programs it sponsors. 36 M-DCC/TnterAmerjcan Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 5-SOUNDNESS OF APPROACH 1-QUALITY OF WORK PLAN PROPOSED ACTIVITIES Proposed Activities Expand M-DCC Role in Community: The InterArnerican campus of Miami -Dade Community College has a mandate in its 5-year strategic plan to expand its reach out to the community. The HUD project enables the College to take its courses, workshops, recrea- tional, and workforce development activities to the people, rather than people having to come to the campus. In fact, the College has literally run out of space, and so is limited in granting addi- tional community access to its programs: the neighborhood, however, is not likely to lack space for courses and workshops. Thus, the College now has a presence in the community limited to the one -square block it occupies. The HUD project will take the school out of its building to better serve the community. Alleviate and/or Fulfill Identified Needs: Poor educational preparation is one of the most seri- ous problems in Little Havana. Blame cannot be assigned to the children: most of the schools in the Target Area are rated "D" by the State of Florida. Poor school performance is related to many other social problems. For example, Children frustrated in school "act out" in the community by joining gangs and piling up suspensions. The College will apply its expertise to improve the educational level of at -risk children and provide recreational activities infused with pro -social values. Even basketball can teach: teamwork, conflict resolution, resiliency, communication skills, self-esteem, respect for rules, writing (a brochure or team guidebook), computer skills (desktop publishing to print game tickets), etc. The College's School of Education will supply a cadre of student volunteers applying the expertise of their "major" in Early Childhood Education, Psychology, Recreation, Nursing, etc. Another problem, closely related to education, is poverty: the majority of people in Little Havana are under severe economic stress. Again, the College's workforce development programs and One -Stop Center counselors can improve economic stand- ing, provide educational vouchers, provide helpful workshops on work maturity and preemploy- ment skills, etc. Relate to and Non -Duplicative of Other Community Activities: The proposed project does not duplicate other programs in East Little Havana. The Switchboard of Miami maintains a database of County social service providers. The College conducted a search using the keywords: recrea- tion, team sports, counseling, and tutoring. Only two agencies (YMCA and Abriendo Puertas) were identified in the Target Area. Thus, there is a surprising lack of social services available for youth in the neighborhood. The HUD Project, therefore, is not in danger of duplicating existing services, and there are few agencies for it to partner with. Involves & Empowers Target Area Residents in All Stages: Program Stage As the Organiza- tional Chart shows, the program will be guided by a committee titled, HUD Advisory Council. This will be composed of community residents, high school students, M-DCC faculty, and other stakeholders. Pre -Project Stage During the design phase of the building, the community expressed its views in Town Hall meetings, focus groups, and a charette. Disseminated to Academic & Community Audiences: Information about the project, including "lessons learned" at various stages will be posted to the WEB sites of the City and the College. The College and City media departments will prepare and distribute press releases in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole. M-DCC runs full page newspaper ads introducing the public to successful graduates: some of these ads will present the achievements of youths participating in the HUD Project. 37 M-DCC/Intexnmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - eR 4 WORK PLAN IMPACT Project Can be Completed within Two Years: The work plan provides a mo schedule of "bite sized" activities, each manageable within 4 weeks. After 24 i ly incremental activities, the project will be completed. OBJECTIVES ARE MEASURABLE Caveat: It is difficult to estimate the number of non -duplicated children and family members served and the program's impact on them since some may stay in an activity for only a short time. The Community/Youth Center and its programming will have a concrete and measurable impact on the community and participants who remain enrolled. r'�\ M-DCC proposes to serve: K‘. 0 100 children with educational and recreational services. 0 100 parents with parenting and school readiness workshops. 500 children and family members with case management and referrals. Impact: ------ .���__ — T_.. Given the neighborhood's social indicators (see, Table I), M-DCC offers the following overall impact objectives: O At least 50% of all infants and toddlers in participating families will be "school ready" (i.e., immunized and at their age -appropriate developmental level). O At Least 80% of participating teenage girls will not become pregnant during the 21 (24 months less 2 for start-up, and 1 for close-out). O At least 50% of participating youths will reduce school absences and tardies by 20%. O At least 50% of all participating youths will improve their grade point average over the 21 months of the program. O At least 80% of the participating youths will have no contact with the criminal justice system after 21 months of participation. O At least 80% of the participating youths will have no indoor or outdoor school suspensions. O All participating parents will have an understanding of the laws regarding child abuse and understand how to discipline their children without physical punishment. O All parents will be able to identify at least 5 community resources, O All parents will be able to identify gang colors and other behaviors indicating gang membership or wannabe status. O At least 80% of parents will obtain a better job after meeting with a College One -Stop counselor. O 80% of parents will report an improvement in their children's behavior since their involvement in the program. O Police calls for child abuse and domestic violence will drop by 10% after 21 months of program operation (based on self -reports). FACULTY & STUDENT INVOLVEMENT 0 College students and faculty will serve on the HUD Advisory Council 0 Student volunteers and service learners are supervised by M-DCC faculty 0 Some project staff will be regular faculty hired as Educational Specialists on a part-time basis 0 Faculty in the School of Education may pursue research as the Community/Youth Center is a microcosm, whose processes, structures, and variables more visible than usual 38 M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 HUD PRIORITIES O Promoting Healthy Homes: The HUD Program provides nutritional counseling, informational sessions about lead based paint identification and removal, and tracks families with infants and toddlers to ensure they are inoculated and developmentally "on schedule." O Promoting Self-sufficiency: The project provides employment services through its One Stop Center (job development, placement, preemployment and work maturity skills, educational vouchers, case management, etc.). O Crime/Drug Reduction: Literature from the U.S. Office of Delinquency Prevention (ODDJP) designates community centers as "prevention factors" in delinquency. In this project, parents learn to detect gang colors and identify their children as "wannabes. " Ideas about conflict resolution, correct behavior, etc. are infused into the curriculum. Community activities promote bonding of children with the community and, thus, identification with its prosocial norms. O Promoting Job Training: The College will make its One -Stop Job counselors available to Center users. O Promoting Technology: The College is responsible (see budget) for outfitting the Center's multi -purpose room and 4-classrooms with computers. Promoting Self-sufficiency: The College has a welfare-t-work program which includes a One - Stop Job Center serving more than 5,000 people yearly. The center provides educational and child care vouchers, employment services (job development, placement, acculturation workshops, etc.). One -Stop counselors will "set up shop" in the park periodically. There will also be "Career Days," Job Fairs, and other employment related events in the park. Anti-Crime/Drug Efforts: Several City and County anti -crime and anti -drug programs will be invited to take a proactive role in the community. These include: Weed and Seed, Officer Friend- ly, and Project Dare. The City hosts the Police Museum which will be asked to make its crime prevention program available to the children. Promoting Job Training and College Readiness: O The College's One -Stop Center provides education vouchers. O The College is partnering with Aspira which has developed substantial expertise via grants from: Gear -Up, 21st Century Learning Centers, and Talent Search. The College has asked the M-DCC Foundation to provide scholarships to deserving children who successfully complete Community/Youth Center programs. Because the Foundation is awaiting appointment of a new director, it will be several months before scholarship money can be committed. Promoting Technology: Since the Colle e is new, its technology is the "latest and greatest:" classrooms are wired and there are undreds o "computers available for student use. The College is committed to using a portion of the HUD grant to set-up a computer lab in the Center's multi- purpose room (see budget). All age ranges will use the lab, from the Elderly to the very young. The College will seek additional technology funds from Power -Up, a foundation sponsored by America Online's Steven Case. Finally, the College will issue "VIP" passes to selected children entitling them to use the College's computers. 10 M-DCC/Intel.-,merican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - rR 4630 2-INSTITUTIONALIZATION College Commitment: The College is committed to continuing this project after the 2 years of "start-up" funding. The Community/Youth Center to be built partially with HUD money passed through the College (this grant) will include 4 classrooms and an office for a local community organization. The InterAmerican Campus anticipates occupying this office and using the class- rooms for youth programs, and as the "nerve center" of a program reaching out to housing pro- jects and Section 8 housing in the neighborhood. Hard Dollars: The College will also include grant funded Center staff in its budget development 7 process for the year 2002-03, to "start where HUD funding leaves off." Planning Documents: This grant will fulfill one element of IAC's 5-year strategic plan: to in- crease community outreach. The Long Range Plan is available for review on the school's WEB site: http://www.mdcc.edu/. Linkages: IAC's outreach program is Linked to other outreach functions through the College structure. As the organizational chart shows, the Director of Community Education at the LAC Campus is responsible for the HUD Project. She has a direct line of communication with IAC's Academic Dean. Yet, because of the College's overlapping structures, she is supervised by anoth- er Dean at the Kendall Campus. Thus, the HUD Program is linked by a formal organizational structure to other units of the College related to outreach and community partnerships. In addi- tion, IAC participates in the College -wide Center for Community Involvement which has articula- tion agreements with 180 CBO's in IAC's service area. These CBO's provide opportunities for volunteerism, service learning, and credit bearing internships. HSIAC Funding: M-DCC's lnterAmerican campus has never received an HSIAC grant. 3-FAIR HOUSING AFFIRMATIVELY FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING PROMOTING FAIR HOUSING CHOICE HOUSING MOBILITY COUNSELING SERVICES Consumer Education: Consumer education is included in the College's Adult Education Program and is also part of its case management services. Courses and counseling on consumer economics will include: discussion of buyers' rights; County officials describing subsidized mortgages for families earning less than $40,000 annually; presentations by CDCs home builders in Little Havana (e.g., KODEC); counselors from HOPWA describing the rights of people living with AIDS; lawyers from Florida Legal Service informing immigrants of their legal right to housing. Improved Opportunities: Workshops are only the first step. College counselors assist people to complete necessary forms, collect needed information (such as birth certificates, proof of veteran status, letter from physician certifying disability, etc.). In addition, counselors will assist people to provide information that may have been left in their country of origin (via affidavit, etc.). Mobility: The College is cognizant of the need for housing mobility counseling services and will ensure to educate its case managers and teachers of consumer behavior. 40 M-DCC/InterAmerican Campus - CFDA 14.514 - FR 4630 6-LEVERAGING Partnerhips: * O City of Miami O Aspira (a Puerto Rican CBO providing programming in Roberto Cleme a Park in the EZ) O Centre d'Informacion (a grass -roots Haitian CBO in Little Haiti, a CD G Target O Miami -Dade Community College/InterAmerican Campus Area) O Abriendo Puertas (a Cuban CBO working with families in the EZ) ** * Please see page 6 for descriptions of each organization. ** The letter from Abriendo Puertas may not arrive in time for inclusion in this proposal.

Previously, the school was part of the College's Wolf- son Campus which articulated with various private and public organizations, CBOs, CDCs, and businesses. Thus, IAC has had only a short time to develop "formal" and contractual links with community organizations. The College participates in many cultural events (Viernes CuIturales), works closely with Miami Senior High School and its "Future Teachers of America Magnet Program;" provides tutors to Auburndale Elementary School, and the College President is on the Board of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities. The College has written articula- tion agreements with 180 CBOs for placing student volunteers and interns. Re this proposal, the City is partnering with the City of Miami, its Parks Department, two CBOs in the EZ, and has consulted with a Haitian agency, The Center of Information, to Iearn how it deals with similar issues. The College has also consulted with its various divisions and departments to develop a holistic and inclusive approach to the problems in its neighborhood. IAC recently completed a comprehensive strategic planning process which recommended increased community outreach. Thus, this proposal is one element within a comprehensive, coordinated, long range plan. Sharing Information: The College will prepare a "best practices" report and include it on the City's WEB site. In addition, the College President will make a presentation about the project and lessons learned to the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities. Involvement in Consolidated Planning Process: While the InterAmerican Campus is• only two yeas old and has never received a CDBG grant, other M-DCC Colleges have, from the City and County, for building projects (Wolfson Campus) and child care (North Campus). Thus, College representatives have attended neighborhood planning meetings and met with CDBG officials. The President of M-DCC's new InterAmerican campus plans to follow suit and by appointing a repre- sentative to attend Target Area meetings. Also, the College has had several WAGES projects, and now sponsors a One -Stop Center serving 5,000 people yearly. These projects articulate with County, City, and regional planning; their establishment required --and continues to require -- close collaboration with City, County, and regional planners. The College's workforce develop- ment activities are reflected in Miami's Consolidated Plan and the County's EZ plan. Developing Linkages: The College's 5-Year Long Range Plan calls for increased community outreach. Toward this end, the College President will delegate a staff person to attend local Community Development and City HOPWA meetings. (The city distributes HOPWA funds county -wide. The College is also interest in offering its expertise to the local housing authority -- witness this grant proposal. Thus, the InterAmerican Campus will become part of the local plan- ning network and take part in forums, charettes, and focus groups; it will participate in planning and networking using a "bottom -up" approach. O (i) The InterAmerican Campus has never participated in a HUD funded project.
