The Health Foundation grant will be used to partially fund the construction of a new playground located in Town Park North, a low-income housing development within Overtown's Town Park neighborhood. The playground will consist of play equipment that encourages avid exercise, refines motor -skills, and promotes positive social and mental development through play. The playground is part of our larger home rehabilitation program targeting the three low Income housing developments that constitute the Town Park neighborhood (i.e. Town Park North, Town Park South, and Town Park Village). In addition to individual full -gut style home rehabilitation, the program will completely revitalize the neighborhood over the next three to five years by making much - needed site improvements, which Include the proposed playground, the restoration of a community basketball court, and neighborhood -wide landscaping and sidewalk repairs. These Improvements to the physical environment will promote health and well-being by enhancing connectivity and waikability throughout the neighborhood and encouraging regular exercise.

As one of the County's poorest communities, overtown suffers from a number of serious health disparities related to poverty, including a high prevalence of diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, fast food consumption, and childhood obesity. A large body of research shows that such health disparities are directly Influenced Organization Qualifications Licensing, Certification & Credentialing Statement of Need Target Population & Geographic Area by social determinants, such as Income and education, and their effect on housing and neighborhood conditions. Therefore, one way we help the community fight for good health and well-being is by investing In housing, schools, sidewalks, produce markets, parks, playgrounds, and other improvements to the physical environment. The proposed playground will contribute to creating a safe physical environment that encourages regular physical activity. The playground will target low-income children, providing vital opportunities to play. In the research on the role of play in child development, playground equipment is frequently mentioned as one of several ways in which children can experience active physical play. The various play activities which are experienced on playground equipment have a positive effect on brain development, motor skills, and social development. The major budget items are: a playground structure and swings, a shade structure, rubber safety surfacing (with lime rock base), benches and trash cans, a fence around the perimeter of playground, installation, and landscaping. The Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment ("CRA") is a public entity created by Miami -Dade County and the City of Miami pursuant to ss. 163.330-163,463, Florida Statues. The members of the City of Miami Commission make up the CRA's Board of Directors. The CRA receives its funding from Tax Incremental Financing and by virtue of its mandate has the authority to plan, implement, and manage the redevelopment of the Overtown and Park West redevelopment area. In accordance with its Redevelopment Plan, the CRA has maintained a planning and supervisory role for the revitalization of the Overtown community since 1982. The CRA has the capacity and experience necessary to manage the construction of the proposed playground. Successful CRA construction projects include: renovation of NW 3rd Ave. corridor and 9th St. pedestrian mall; restoration of several local churches and historic sites, including the Historic Lyric Theatre; major overhaul of Gibson Park; creation of 3rd Ave. mini -park; more than $35 million in residential rehab grants; $40 million in funding for the creation of over 400 affordable housing units; and road improvements along NW 2nd Ave. and 11th Terr. - Brian Zeltsman, CRA Director of Architecture and Development/Project Manager, Architect, License #AR 930027; Standard inspector, License #BN4848; Standard Plans Examiner, License #PX2468. - Miguel Valentin, CRA Financial Officer, Certified Public Accountant, License #AC40674. - Renee Jadusingh, CRA Staff Counsel, Attorney, Florida Bar #102682. - Mastermind Construction, Inc., General Contractor, Certified General Contractor, License #CGC1517977; Certified Roofing Contractor, License # CCC1330571. - Henry Marines, TPPN Court Appointed Receiver, Attorney, Florida Bar #702722. Overtown remains one of the poorest and unhealthiest communities in the Miami -Dade County. According to the HFSF sponsored 2013 PRC Miami - Dade County Community Health Needs Assessment, Overtown is among the county's sickest zip codes. The study delineated 12 neighborhood clusters. In the "Downtown/East Little Havana/Liberty City/Little Haiti/Overtown" Cluster, the prevalence of diabetes/high blood sugar (14.5%), heart disease (9.B%), and high blood pressure (42.3%) are all higher than the County's. The Cluster fared worse than the County In 15 out of 23 health indicators related to nutrition, weight status, and physical activity. Children's fast food consumption is the second highest in the County. Among parents, 25.1% reported their child consumed three or more fast food meals in the past week - much higher than the County's 14.6%. The prevalence of children who exercised one hour or longer every day of the past week was lower than the nation's (46.3% versus 50.2%). At 37.6%, the child overweight/obese prevalence was higher than both the County (35.5%) and nation (30.7%). The study showed "Obesity is highest in boys, younger children, lower -income children, Blacks and Hispanics." The playground will directly serve 169 extremely low-, very low-, and low- income families (consisting of approximately 500 residents) at Town Park Plaza North (TPPN), a housing complex in the Town Park neighborhood of Overtown. TPPN consists of a mix of renter -occupied and owner -occupied units. Constructed in 1973, TPPN is a former HUD limited -equity housing cooperative. In 2003, the cooperative was converted to individual home ownership. The HOA's resident board struggled with managing the property after the conversion and much of the necessary property and home upkeep was deferred. Due to financial mismanagement by the HOA, Attorney Henry Marines was assigned to the complex as the Court Model & Approach Justification and Rationale Identify players inside or outside your organization with whom you will need to collaborate during the proposed Appointed Receiver. Mr. Marines has been successful in working with many homeowners to resume the collection of HOAs fees to support the complex and with the assistance of the CRA-funded home rehabilitation program the complex's future looks much brighter. Our goal is to work collaboratively with community stakeholders to build a culture of health in Overtown. To achieve this goal we will follow the recommendations of the 2013 PRC Miami -Dade County Community Health Needs Assessment Survey Report to address health disparities in Overtown. Based on the Information that was collected and Healthy People 2020 guidelines, the health needs assessment identified "Areas of Opportunity for Community Health Improvement", which includes `Daily Physical Activity (Children)". Our Project will address this area of need by funding a playground in a low-income housing development in order to encourage daily physical activity and wellbeing among the community's children. Playgrounds provide crucial and vital opportunities for children to play. In the large body of research on the role of play in child development, playground equipment is frequently mentioned as one way in which children can experience active physical play, social Interaction, and wellbeing. In particular, playgrounds provide an opportunity for free play. Free play differs from the structured play of recess or organized sports and games. Supported by a range of structures, playground free play facilitates social skills by allowing children to play any way they choose, learn from one another, and Interact with a wide range of age groups. There is substantial research showing that the various play activities that are experienced on playground equipment also have a positive effect on brain development and motor skills. Movement and play are crucial for the development of proprioceptlon, the vestibular sense, and, in turn, motor skills. For example, the act of moving your head off the vertical axis by hanging upside down, spinning, or swinging, helps develop the vestibular system, which is crucial for walking or balance when sitting. Kids who have trouble with proprloception or the vestibular sense could struggle with motor skills in a number of ways including seeming awkward or clumsy, not knowing their own strength, avoiding physical activities that other children find fun, and other sensory difficulties. Research indicates that children with poorly developed motor - skills by age five will likely never develop efficient motor -skills. The 2013 PRC Miami -Dade County Community Health Needs Assessment Survey Report identified several areas for health improvement within Dade County. These areas of intervention include, among others, Educational & Community -Based Programs (i.e. Attendance at Health Promotion Events), Nutrition and Weight Status (i.e. Fruit/Vegetable Consumption), and Physical Activity (e.g. Daily Physical Activity [Children]). Given the report's recommendations and the level of funding offered by the Health Foundations Grant, we considered the following additional approaches during the selection process that we believed were an appropriate match for the Foundation's grant program: 1. Enhancing the tree canopy in parts of the redevelopment area to increase waikability. 2. Partnering with Booker T. High School on their "Edible Food Forest" program to promote education and knowledge of healthy food, food cultivation and distribution, and the food economy. 3. Building on our efforts to incorporate local health providers and fun, physical activities into our community events; 4. Developing Overtown's food network with an emphasis on providing fresh, local produce. We strongly believe in taking a holistic approach to community development. As such, we recognize that all of the aforementioned approaches merit our attention and we are actively working on strategies to implement them. Because of time and financial constraints, however, we had to exclude enhancing the tree canopy from this proposal. With the support of our community partners, we attempted to bundle the remaining approaches along with the playground Into one project in the preliminary Health Foundation proposal. Upon review, the Foundation advised us to reduce our request from $150,000 to $75,000 and focus on playground equipment and then potentially the food forest. Accordingly, our full proposal focuses on constructing a playground. We look forward to working with Booker T. Washington to develop a separate grant request seeking support from the Health Foundation to help expand the Edible Food Forest initiative. To ensure successful planning and implementation of the project, we are working closely with Town Park Plaza North's Court Appointed Receiver and residents, and the construction contractor Mastermind Construction, Inc. We are actively working with ail parties on the larger Town Park Plaza North home rehabilitation program, for which the proposed playground is a part of. project to ensure successful project planning and/or implementation (e.g. consultants, referral agencies) Describe the roles and responsibilities of each major player and/or organization in the proposed project Outline frequency and channels of communication among the collaborators Line Item Budget Mastermind Construction, Inc. was the contractor selected by the CRA through a competitive process for the Town Park Plaza North Horne Rehabilitation project, which includes the interior and exterior rehabilitation of 169 apartment units, the design and construction of new water and sewer utilities, and site work across the complex. Mastermind Is currently under contract to provide construction services for the rehabilitation project. Should the CRA be awarded the Health Foundation's grant, Mastermind will be responsible for coordinating the construction of the proposed playground. Furthermore, as documented in Tim Smathers, (President of Mastermind Construction, Inc.) support letter, Mastermind has generously committed to providing up to $30,000 towards the playground's construction and equipment costs. As the Court Appointed Receiver for Town Park Plaza North Condo Association, Henry Marines represents the interests of the residents in ensuring the sustainability of the community. As such, Mr. Marines is working closely with the residents of Town Park Plaza North, the CRA, and Mastermind Constriction, Inc. to oversee the successful rehabilitation of the entire complex. As the owners' representative, Mr. Marines approves all of the invoices for work that occurs on the property before they are submitted to the CRA for payment. Mr. Marines also facilitates communication between the construction team, CRA, and residents who provide vital feedback on the project's development. Because of the ongoing CRA-funded rehabilitation work that is occurring at Town Park Plaza North, collaborators have frequent and regularly scheduled communication. The CRA, Mastermind Construction, and Mr. Marines currently hold bi-weekly meetings every other Thursday morning at loam to discuss the project. The next meeting is on September 17. On the third Wednesday of each month, Mr. Marines holds Town Park Plaza Homeowner's Association meetings. The CRA Community Liason, Martha Whisby, regularly attends this and other local HOA meetings to receive verbal feedback from Overtown residents about CRA projects. Mastermind Construction has established a community outreach program to facilitate resident engagement in the project. They publish a monthly newsletter to keep the residents informed about project details. Mastermind has also established a telephone hotline, which residents can call to report any concerns or feedback they have about the project. The CRA also maintains an up-to-date database of all resident and owner contact info, including phone numbers and addresses.

The Total Budget is based on a project proposal from Mastermind Construction, Inc. HFSF funds will support the following direct, capital costs: 28'x22'x12.5' Playground Structure=$22,000; 40'x40' Shade Structure, 4' Footing=$26,284; 40`x40' Rubber Safety Surfacing=$22,400; Two Swing Bays=$3,000; and Lime Rock Base (for the rubber safety surfacing)=$3,900. The following direct costs will be supported by funding from the CRA and Mastermind Construction; Lime Rock Base (for the rubber safety surfacing)=$3,900, Installation=$10,414; Four In -ground Benches=$3,600; Four 32 Gallon Trash Cans=$1,912; 60'x60'x60'x60' Fence=$15,000; Landscaping=$2,000. The Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency will provide in -kind all administrative expenses, Including executive oversight, grants management, legal expenses, data collection, and administrative staff. The estimated value of this contribution Is $7,500. Provide rationale for each of the outcome indicators and measurement tools identified in your Work Plan Describe your data collection schedule Identify any challenges in { collecting your data Identify staff who will be doing the actual data collection. What are the qualifications for the data collector? If data collectors need to be trained, briefly describe their training Describe how the outcomes data and overall project impact will be analyzed and interpreted. Identify the person responsible for data analysis. Please note: You may be required to work with a Health Foundation - assigned evaluation consultant if your grant request is approved. Describe your vision of the project beyond Health Foundation's grant support Estimate necessary funding and potential sources beyond Health Foundation's grant support Our outcome objective is to provide the community with an opportunity for children to engage in safe, fun, and avid exercise through play. The objective measurement is that community will have a brand new, exciting, and aesthetically pleasing canopied playground with rubber safety surfacing, swings, a playground structure, benches, trash cans, and a perimeter fence. Pictures and invoices will be submitted to show the construction of the playground is complete. The outcome objective and measurement tool are admittedly modest. Although we are Interested in measuring how the playground will impact the healthy development of the community's children, the development of evaluation research plans which might directly measure this impact are impractical. This is because such a research plan would involve trying to observe and measure physical, social, and Intellectual changes in children who used the playground and then attribute these changes only to playground use. This type of study would be well beyond the expertise and financial resources of the CRA and would require intensive intervention in the lives of these young children. Beyond general observations and community feedback, the project will involve little data collection. The development of evaluation research plans which might directly measure the Impact of the playground on the healthy development of community's children is Impractical. This is because such a research plan would Involve trying to observe and measure physical, social, and Intellectual changes in children who used the playground and then attribute these changes only to playground use. This type of study would clearly go beyond the expertise and financial resources of the CRA and would require intensive intervention in the lives of these young children. The CRA's Grant Administrator will be responsible collecting any information related to the project, Including observations and resident feedback, and reporting it the Health Foundation. The CRA Grant Administrator has worked on several grant -funded community projects over the course of the past eight years. N/A Because CRA Staff are frequently at the property, the impact of the playground will be evaluated through general observations of the playground's use as well as feedback from residents about the playground. We believe that leveraging the HFSF grant with our current Investments will improve our Project while also maintaining the sense of continuity and community buy -in necessary to create lasting change. The proposed partnership and project have a foundation in the community to build from and we are committed to providing continued financial and administrative support to ensure it succeeds and is sustainable. We expect the new playground equipment will last up to 10 years with little additional Investment. As the housing community is revitalized and residents see the value added by the playground, their support will be an important tool in directing HOA funds towards maintain the play area. The project requires an additional $35,510 beyond the Health Foundation's grant. If our proposal is successful, Mastermind Construction, Inc. has committed to providing a cash contribution of up to $30,000 to the project. Mastermind's contribution is documented in their attached support letter from Tim Smathers. Mastermind's contribution will be to pay workers to install the playground as well as the following playground amenities: trash cans, benches, and a perimeter fence. We, the CRA, will provide additional funding In the amount of $5,510 to help cover the cost of the lime rock base for the rubber safety surfacing and landscaping around the playground area. No additional funds will be necessary. Identify potential replication and/or institutionalization of project components Identify specific public policies that are needed to either sustain project -related activity or create supportive systemic change Work Plan The potential for replication of the project is high. The CRA has previously funded a major overhaul of Gibson Park and the creation of 3rd Ave. mini - park, which both included playgrounds in their design. Thus, the proposed playground continues strategies we have used to help revitalize the redevelopment are and improve the public health. As we work to rehabilitate the remaining Town Park complexes in the near future, we have already contemplated adding playground structures with the communities to enhance the projects. Our Community Redevelopment Plan ("Plan") necessarily defines the scope of the work we undertake. While our efforts to revitalize the community clearly affect public health Issues, the Plan is not explicit enough in allowing us to fund public health initiatives. This oversight has limited the range of projects we can undertake thereby limiting the potential good we I can do in addressing the health disparities in the community. As we work to update the Plan, we are considering ways in which we can make public health initiates more feasible. Health Foundation requires a Work Plan as part of its application. A Work Plan serves as a "road map" for your project. A good Work Plan functions as a stand-alone document. You should be able to read it (without reading the proposal narrative) and get a good sense of what a project will accomplish if a grant is awarded. The Work Plan includes a series of Process and Outcome Objectives. A Process Objective describes an activity that will be accomplished during your project or an activity that is integral to completing your project. An Outcome Objective is a result or change you expect your project (or its Process Objectives) to achieve. All Objectives should include a target. The target serves as a measurable end point to help gauge improvement, measure change, or make comparisons. In addition, all Objectives should be "smart" - specific, measurable, achievable, relevant to the project, and time -bound. To help ensure your Work Plan includes "smart" Process and Outcome Objectives, you are asked to provide information related to each Objective's measurement, baseline, target, and time -frame. If your grant is approved, having "smart" Objectives will also help you monitor and report on your project's accomplishments.

As the President of Mastermind Construction, Inc., my company was the contractor selected by the CRA for the Town Park Plaza North Home Rehabilitation project, which includes the interior and exterior rehabilitation of 169 apartment units, the design and construction of new water and sewer utilities, and site work across the complex. My company is currently under contract to provide construction services for the rehabilitation project. Should the CRA be awarded the Health Foundation's grant, Mastermind will be responsible for coordinating and overseeing the construction of the proposed playground and hereby commits to .providing up to $30,000 towards the plav2round's constriction and equipment costs. 1 wholeheartedly believe that the proposed playground is an essential part of this rehabilitation effort. The complex is currently in an advanced state of dilapidation with virtually no play equipment for children to enjoy. Nearly all of the original playground equipment that was installed over 40 years ago as part of the construction of the complex has been removed because it was unsafe and has never been replaced. As we look to rehabilitate and transform this low-income housing development, it is important that we create a safe place within the community for children to socialize, play, and get the exercise they need to stay healthy. Thank you for your consideration of the CRA's proposal and 1 look forward to partnering with you on this important project.

If funded, the playground will provide the community's young people with a valuable opportunity to improve their overall health and well-being through play. As the Court Appointed Receiver for Town Park Plaza North Condo Association, I represent the interests of the residents in ensuring the sustainability of the community. 1 am working closely with the residents of Town Park Plaza North, the CRA, and Mastermind Construction, Inc. to oversee the successful rehabilitation of the entire complex. I strongly believe the residents have a wonderful opportunity to make their homes safer and improve the quality of their lives and that the proposed playground is an essential part of this rehabilitation effort. Since most of the original playground equipment has been removed because it was damaged and unsafe, the playground would fulfill a need for a safe space within the community for children to socialize, play, and get the exercise they need to stay healthy. With the Health Foundation's support, the new playground will have all the amenities necessary to provide the community with a stimulating and safe place for their children to gather and engage in fun physical activity: a rubber safety surfacing to cushion falls, a large canopy structure to provide protection from the sun, a fence to keep small children from wandering, and brand new playground equipment to enjoy. Thank you for your consideration. Since , Henry E. Marines, Esq. Law Office of Henry E.
