Progressive Land Development International, Inc.
' Overtown Peacemakers Project
Progressive Land Development International, Inc. (Progressive) is a 501c3 organization which
functions as a subsidiary of Progressive Land Development, Inc. We are committed to
establishing and maintaining programs that provide moral, social and economical benefit to the
community. Our philosophy is rooted in the premise that if people are empowered to take control
of the development of their communities, they will take ownership and embrace a progressive
approach to change and renewal. It is with this focus that we embark upon our mission of
developing community and family enhancement projects that promote public safety, provide
education to prevent and combat substance abuse, educate and support to youth and families,
deliver health education and prevention programs, and provide assistance and support to the
homeless.
Our programs and services have brought international notoriety to our organization and have
made marked differences in the transformation of people and communities that would normally
be characterized as unsalvageable. A good example would be the trainer who now will be
joining PLDI, Inc. and who was featured in a documentary series by the BBC in London
England and he will be providing the training for the project. He has taken twelve (12)
chronically unmotivated, unskilled, and unemployed youth between the ages of 17 and 27, of
which some were homeless, heavily involved in drugs, and /or crime and transformed seven of
the twelve into literate, employable, and educable prospects within a time frame of three weeks.
The techniques employed by the Progressive Land Development International, Inc. team are the
same techniques needed by the Peacemakers and the Peace Service Workers in our proposed
project in order for them to engage the subjects targeted. Their proven success with organizations
such as YouthBuild U.S.A. in Sommerville, Massachusetts (attachment B) is another testimony
to PLDI's ability to train and implement projects that target individuals who are deemed menaces
to society and unsalvageable.
Peacemakers Project
Concept
The Peacemaker concept was modeled after several successful programs in cities like Chicago,
Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Buffalo that had similar
issues to those in Overtown. These programs were run by national affiliates of Progressive Land
Development International and included gang warfare intervention, truancy programs, unarmed
security in drug infested communities and other projects that were relative.
The Peacemakers Project is designed to provide a community based component to support
efforts to clean up and make safe the streets of Overtown. It will serve to compliment the City of
Miami's Overtown Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) office. This project is a separate
entity and not a part of the City of Miami, but a non-profit organization whose interest in the
•
•
revitalization of Overtown is such that we have been moved to act. We have been motivated by
the NET office's hands own approach and feel that our project can further enforce what they are
attempting to change the Overtown Community. Our approach will be two pronged. We will
provide a consistent visible means of safety through the Peacemakers and provide a link to
community services which can assist those persons we encounter on the street with making
changes to their circumstances thus deterring criminal and drug activity while eradicating social
ills and barriers. Our proposal holds the following inherent qualities:
• More Overtown residents will be connected to needed services
• Children and Seniors will feel a heightened sense of security and public safety
• Habitual criminals will not be able to operate business as usual
• A collaborative partnership will be forged between Law enforcement, social service
agencies, health agencies, sanitation workers and the community
• Community residents will be empowered and engaged in the community revitalization
process
The project will provide a visible presence in the Overtown community at peak hours when
school is starting and ending and during the time that seniors are active. It will also provide
referral services for those who need critical social, medical, health and drug rehabilitation
assistance and act as a conduit to report criminal and drug related activity to the authorities. The
community will also play a role in the process by serving as a direct link to the community
through door to door contact with the residents. Their purpose will be to collect complaints and
other information about community safety issues and relay it back to the Peacemakers so that
they can take action. This provides the community with a way to report problems without being
labeled a snitch.
Overtown Peacemaker Project Rationale
Overtown is plagued by ramped drug activity, gun violence and homelessness. It also touts one
of the highest unemployment rates in the City. It is a community that once had flourishing
businesses and was the center piece of Black Miami. It was referred to as Colored Town and
became Overtown by people who were living and visiting in Colored Town providing a
reference point as to where they were going when coming from work on the beach and in the
City. They were crossing the City of Miami and going "over town".
Overtown is one of Miami's original neighborhoods, where African Americans settled in the
early 20th Century. This was the heart of the African American community where there were
churches, restaurants, residences, nightclubs, theaters and other businesses. Today the population
of Overtown is approximately 9000 people of which 74% are African American.
Overtown is presently home to several historic landmarks and is in the infancy stages of
revitalization. Projects such as the development of the Folk Life Village, the renovation of the,
Historic Lyric Theatre, the first legitimate theater built in Miami,VETS Miami Works,
"Hospitality Institute" in the historic Greater Bethel AME Church, the 3rd Street Streetscape
improvements, the Black Police Museum and other projects are cited to make Overtown a tourist
destination and a community that anyone would be proud to live and work in. There are just a
few problems that stand in the way. The first being the drug activity that takes place from NW
3rd Avenue to NW 1st Avenue (East/West) and from NW 14th Street to NW St Street (North /
South ), the second, which is related to the first, there have been a rash of murders in the
Overtown community, and thirdly, there is the problem of chronic unemployment and
homelessness. Progress cannot and will not take place until the community is perceived as safe
and the above problems remedied.
Overtown Peacemaker Project
Scope of Work
The Peacemaker project proposes to pilot, for three months, a public safety project that will
address the drug activity and public safety issues preventing substantial progress from being
made in the redevelopment of the Overtown community, The Overtown Peacemakers project
will seek support from the City of Miami Police Department, City of Miami Solid Waste, and
community based resources to support the project implementation. It will provide a protective
presence in the community during peak hours, provide a system to identify and assist with the
eradication of drug trafficking and use, and provide assistance to persons identified by the Peace
Service Workers who need housing assistance, drug rehabilitation, health support or other social
services. The project will be structured as follows. There will be one Project Manager, one Lead
Peacemaker, eight Peacemakers, twelve Peace Service Workers, two Intake Specialists, and two
Trainers.
Project Manager (1)- responsibilities include but are not limited to the organization and
management of all components of the project, reporting and program accountability, trouble
shooting, fiduciary management, personnel oversight, and partnership development and
sustainability.

Workers, oversee day to day operations, including recruitment of Peace Service Workers,
scheduling post and community canvassing assignments, first responder to emergency situations,
and act as the liaison between, City police department, government services and social and health
service agencies.
Peacemakers (8)- will function as a non -armed community safety and response team and
provide community peace keeping services. They will serve as role models for youth, model
good citizenship practices for the community, and assist the community residents with reporting
crime, sanitation, and health related issues that exist or arise.

district at peak hours (NW 14th Street to NW 8th Street (North/South) and NW 3rd Avenue to
NW 1st Avenue (East/West) in three two hour sifts (7:00am-9:00am/2:00pm-4:00pm/
6:OOpm-8:OOpm M-F & S from 12 noon to sundown). Eight (8) men will be posted two per main
street with two rovers who cover the designated perimeters and the main streets. 504 hours of
fourteen (14) Peace Service Workers door to door canvassing to identify public safety issues
plaguing the immediate residents and businesses, 504 hours of access to public and community
service agencies for crime, drug and health related assistance, a minimum of 12 hours of
professional development training per participant to be provided by PLDI, Inc., and a
comprehensive report of intake data, program progress, and impacts on crime within the
parameters of the project's boundaries provided by the Project Director to the CRA, City of
Miami NET, District 5 Commission office, City of Miami Police Department.
This pilot will show a 25% reduction in drug related crime, produce 30% increase in community
assisted drug rehabilitation, 50% decrease in illegal dumping and vandalism and 40% increase in
community involvement in the revitalization process.
Training will be provided by Lyle Grandison_ (see attachments A& B) and will consist of the
following modules:

• The Proper way to Handle People
• The Self Enhancement Relationship Building Concept
• Life Skills and Employment Training 101
Three implementation meetings will be held for schools, churches, homeowner association
business associations, and senior centers in the area to apprise them of the project and its purpose
and to ask their cooperation and assistance. The meeting will be with all of the major community
entities involved in'the overall re -development plan of the area. We will solicit support from
police, health, public works, and faith based organizations in the community. Peace Service
Workers will be recruited from homeowners associations, churches, community centers, schools
and the public at large in the Overtown Community.
A monthly report containing, intake data, intervention referrals, crime prevention statistics and
resident complaints along with other collected data will be provided to the CRA, District 5
Commission office, the Overtown NET office and the City of Miami Police Department. In the
third month a summary of the project and a final impact report will be provided to the agencies
listed above. A focus group and wrap up meeting of community participants and stakeholders
will be held to discuss the project's impact on the community and the project's viability in the
Overtown community.

Workers Compensation
Coverage Provided
• Coverage A — Workers Compensation agrees to pay the benefits required
under the Workers Compensation Law.
• Coverage B — Employers Liability provides coverage for your legal liability
to employees not covered by the act.
It is possible you might sub -contract certain operations. Compensation laws
provide that the principal contractor is responsible for Workers Compensation
for the employees of uninsured sub -contractors. In determining Workers
Compensation premiums, you will be charged for coverage in connection with
employees of sub -contractors, unless the sub -contractors have insured this
obligation and have furnished satisfactory evidence of such insurance. You
should always obtain certificates of insurance from all sub -contractors doing
work for you.
In the event a minor employed by you is injured, Workers Compensation may
assess additional "punitive" damages equal to or greater than the basic award.
These punitive damages are not covered by your policy ... you are urged to
consider your present employees and examine future applications carefully from
this standpoint.
In some states, coverage can be provided for employees occasionally working in
other states by the addition of an "all states" endorsement.
The policy is written subject to audit, and payroll records should be kept in such
a manner as to show any overtime paid.

Unmotivated, unskilled and unemployable?
In a country nearing full
employment, what can be
done for people who
nobody wants to employ? A
group of 12 young British
men deemed unmotivated,
unskilled and unemployable
were introduced to one
novel solution.
"If you haven't got the social skills to impress an employer,
or the ability to work as part of a team, you're not going to
survive in the world of work," says Lyle Grandison of Respect
for Life Educational Services.
It seems an obvious point to make, but the remedy proposed
by Grandison and his cohorts is far from ordinary.
Their solution for the long-term unemployed is no
government training scheme, voluntary IT lesson or skills
workshop, but a "career boot camp" where inmates are put
through their paces over a gruelling three weeks.
The "bad habits" of the British dozen are to be replaced,
whether they like it or not, by 5am runs, career seminars and
even classroom exercises to broaden their vocabulary.
The whole programme is designed with the sole aim of
getting them ready for the world of work.
'Social experiment'
Over the past decade, Boston -based Respect for Life has
worked in the US with more than 10,000 unemployed people,
ex -offenders and those on drug -rehabilitation programmes.
Their decision to come to the
UK is a "social experiment",
but as they start work, the
three trainers - including an.
ex -US marine-- are in no
mood to go easy on their
charges.

CAREER BOOT CAMP
Synopsis:
A mental boot camp for the unemployable. A three-week intensively gruelling,
abrasively confrontational blood and sweat programme for the seriously unskilled,
completely unmotivated, and totally unruly - idlers in society who have no direction,
no ambition, no hope. Based on an American rehabilitation formula the team of
relentlessly uncompromising, 'un-PC, experts break them and reshape them and
reveal real results.

One of the trainers, Brother Al, says: "It was great to see
them expressing themselves and taking care of real business
instead of standing around waiting for mommy to do
everything for them."
Respect for Life admit their techniques are unusual but, they
say, there is a definite aim and the results are clear to see.
"It's all about making them question what they've been doing
with their lives," Lyle Grandison says.
"By the time we've finished with them, we guarantee that
they're fit for work. Either that or they won't finish the
course."
Career Boot Camp, a three-part series, will be
broadcast in the UK on BBC Two starting on Monday, 8
March, at 2320 GMT.

At the career boot camp the dozen volunteers were told that
drugs and alcohol were strictly off limits. Their Walkmans,
watches, cigarettes, mobile phones and money are all
confiscated.
Respect for Life was in no
mood to let its first British
volunteers fail and was
determined that Life was going
to be tough.
It's all about making them
question what they've been
doing with their lives
Lyle Grandison, Respect for Life
The boot camp regime tested the recruits' physical and
mental endurance on a daily basis. In addition to the dawn
runs, they were put through drill exercises and physical
discipline.
Each day saw gruelling surprise tasks, ranging from
orienteering to building a dry-stone wall.
All of this was supplemented by a constant routine of
classroom activities where the dozen were drilled on
everything from writing a decent CV to making good eye -
contact and shaking hands.
Dead of night
Progress was slow, though. Asked what his good points are
during a mock interview, one recruit said: "I haven't really
got any."
Others looked bored and roiled
their eyes as one of their
trainers tried to motivate them
by telling them: "I've been
gunned down, I have
experienced jail, I have been a
menace to society, so when I
see you I see me."
Out of the 12 who started,
only seven completed the
course. One even escapes from a window in the dead of
night.
Part of the gruelling training
But for those who stayed, there was an undeniable sense of
progress and, eventually, the first chance of regular work
many of them had ever known.
By the end of the filming of the documentary, six of the
seven graduates had successful job interviews - and were
either offered work straight away or second interviews at
local branches of the employers who saw them. The seventh
enrolled himself on a college course.

"We aim to shake them out of their complacency. From the
very beginning they get a shock to the system," says
Grandison, known as "Brother Lyle" to all involved in the
project.
The trainers are deliberately tough, using shouted orders to
whip the participants into shape. But there are also words of
encouragement, when the regime gets too much.
Unemployment black spots
The British boot camp was held at an isolated country house
in the Cotswolds last year, with the results filmed for a BBC
Two documentary, the transmission of which had to be
delayed after one of the recruits got in trouble with the law.
All of the volunteers involved were aged between 17 and 27.
Some had been unemployed for five years; others had never
held a job.
They came from some of the
country's worst unemployment
blackspots, in parts of towns
and cities including London,
Dundee, Birmingham, Slough
and Basingstoke.
Among them was 18-year-old
Damian K from Portsmouth.
He said: "I got kicked out of
home two years ago, so I got
heavily involved in drugs and crime and my mum just
couldn't cope and she threw me out.
Recruits, such as Damion (left) are
from unemployment blackspots
"I have basically spent the last two years being homeless and
in and out of hostels."
While the stories of Damion's fellow participants vary, none
seemed to have much chance of their prospects improving
before they arrived at camp.
Respect for Life believe these are typical of hundreds of
thousands of young people across the country.
It's a belief shared by Prince Charles - even if his methods
are less startling.
Announcing plans to aid disadvantaged young Britons by
arranging apprenticeships and giving business start-up
advice, the Prince's Trust said last week there were 649,000
16 to 24-year-olds not in jobs.,or education.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to highly recommend the work of Respect For Life Educational Services. I am the
Director of the Training & Learning Center for YouthBuild USA. In this capacity I have worked
with Lyle Grandison and Al Johnson, the principle trainers of Respect for Life, many times. First a
little about our organization, to provide the context.
Founded in 1990, YouthBuiId USA is a national nonprofit organization that supports a nationwide
network of 200 local YouthBuild programs throughout the US. In YouthBuild programs,
unemployed and undereducated young people ages 16-24 work toward their GED or high school
diploma while learning construction skills by building affordable housing for homeless and Iower-
income people. Strong emphasis is placed on leadership development, community service and the
creation of a positive mini -community of adults and youth committed to success. Since 1994,
more than 20,000 young people have helped rebuild their communities, transform their lives and
create more than 7,000 units of affordable housing.
Over the past 6-7 years, YouthBuild USA or local YoutBuild programs have contracted with
Respect for Life Educational Services to provide training for both staff and young people. The
programs have varied from a 3 hour workshop to a 5 day intensive "mental toughness" training.
They prepare well, tailor the program to the needs of the agency, and offer superb on -site training
of substance and impact.
In my experience, Respect for Life is in an elite class of training organizations because they
systematically combine a deep philosophy about life and transformation along with an effective
methodology that involves all learning styles. Each move is deliberate. The trainers create a
purposeful learning environment aimed at taking participants out of their comfort zone into their
learning zone. They do this through high expectations, rigorous exercises —many of them
physical, brilliant teaching of concepts, and creating a one -for -all, all -for -one environment of
support. They use music, poetry, drama, and story -telling. They accept where participants are
without judgment but also raise the bar of what's possible. They pay deep tribute to the culture
and traditions of the participants while inviting them into a larger human identity. They are
simultaneously challenging and respectful, aiming for the stars and down to earth.
They can deliver solid workshops on leadership development, cultural diversity and issues of
oppression, motivation and self-discipline, youth transformation, staff team building, and getting
"mentally tough" to succeed. I recommend their work wholeheartedly.
Yours,
John Belt, Director
