In 2013, Miami -Dade North Arts & Humanities Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"), a tax- exempt and nonprofit corporation, proposed the creation of a premier art museum, sculpture park, and artist -in -residence program that focuses on the contemporary art of the global African Diaspora, to be known as Miami MoCAAD. Miami MoCAAD's mission is "to discover, commission, collect and preserve the work of the most advanced contemporary artists of the Global African Diaspora and exhibit this art at the highest level both at home and abroad." The Foundation is qualified to operate, manage, archive and curate Miami MoCAAD and is willing to raise significant private funds to match public funds provided for Miami MoCAAD.

The Foundation is reviewing options to develop Miami MoCAAD in the SEOPW CRA Redevelopment Area. The development of Miami MoCAAD would enrich the lives of Overtown residents, attract national and international tourism, and serve as an economic development anchor in Overtown.

We strive to provide assistance for the unemployed and under -employed adults and youth in the Overtown community helping them gain the professional skills they will need to find employment, accelerate their job search and build confidence through ongoing training sessions, one-on-one career coaching and networking in a supportive environment. History of Suited for Success Founded in 1994, Suited for Success answered a vital need for career -building initiatives after welfare reform was instituted. The Welfare Reform Act in 1996 set time restrictions for recipients on public assistance, which in turn forced heads of households into low -wage jobs. Because of the rapid increase in the number of poor, working adults, they had become a much underserved segment of society. Through our programs and services, Suited for Success was able to answer the needs of a growing, poverty-stricken workforce. Suited for Success has seen over 60,000 individuals since inception through its men's, women's (Dress for Success Miami), military veteran (Vets for Success), and youth programs. Program Description As a part of our program, job training classes are held at our location at The Culmer Center as well as at partnering agencies throughout Miami -Dade County. Our skills training course prepares clients on a variety of topics: Managing the job search; Interviewing skills; Proper dress; Resume writing; Financial literacy; Mock interviews. Once training has been completed, clients are given an appointment to receive business attire for their job interview. Clients arrive at SFS by referral only from over 125 social service agencies, including homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and welfare -to -work job training centers. These partnering agencies refer clients to us while adhering to our strict referral criteria. In an average year, over 1,000 clients will be served by SFS. Approximately 50% of our clients are African -American, 45% are Hispanic and 5% are defined as "other" which includes Asian -American, Native American and those who don't define their background. Last year alone we provided services to 1,186 clients of which almost 300 adults and youth came from the Overtown community. Upon completion of the employment skills training course, clients receive an appointment at the SFS office to get them ready for their interviews. Trained volunteers provide one-on-one help and select a wardrobe appropriate for a job interview. Our volunteers are trained to gently guide the clients through the selection process, making recommendations and educating them on workplace expectations. Each client, be it man or woman, who comes to SFS receives personal attention and is treated with dignity and respect. Clients are encouraged to discuss their upcoming interview, professional presentation, child-care plans, and other concerns. Creating a positive environment for the client, SFS strives to stimulate self-confidence helping clients overcome the fears associated with job interviewing. Suited for Success wants to build upon our 25 successful years of providing programs that support economic and social development to low-income clients who are entering or returning to the workforce. When we assist a client with skills to enable them to feel more Packet Pg. 67 4.4.a confident in their job search and ultimately find employment we are helping a future generation into systematic change. Everyday we work towards getting men, women and their children out of poverty and into self-sufficiency by providing a cadre of services to move them into self-sufficiency. Suited for Success is requesting that the CRA consider our request for $190,000 per year to fund our program for 2019-20. This funding will enable us to expand our community training workshops and to bolster our outreach efforts to the community. We would also like to be considered for a two-year renewal. With funding from the CRA we will be able to continue to meet the demands of the many people and agencies that call upon us for assistance. This past year we have had referrals from the following agencies located within the CRA boundaries: Transitions, Inc., Overtown Youth Center, YWCA, Camillus House, Urgent Inc., Better Way of Miami, NANA, Overtown NET Office, MDC Hospitality Training Institute, Chapman Partnership, Booker T. Washington Senior High School and Touching Miami with Love. These are only a partial list of the 125 agencies that refer clients to our office throughout the year. We have established new relationships with Amazon, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, and Capital One. In addition, Suited for Success is a member of the Overtown Children and Youth Coalition, working with community partners to enhance the services in Overtown for the underserved youth. Our location in The Culmer Center, 1600 NW 3rd Avenue, in the heart of Overtown gives us access to nearby space and training rooms which enhance our ongoing training programs.

We continue to pay homage to the centrality of Africa's artistic contribution to the modern world and to brand art from the Miami Black art community as a significant attraction during Art Basel Miami annually. TheUrbanCollective will house the works from a number of artists building an entire theme around the art and culture of Africa and its Diaspora, providing a centralized space to house the art of this region during Art Basel Miami / Miami Art Week. Art Africa Miami Arts Fair will be hosted in the ground floors of the Lyric Plaza that will give our fair goers and exhibitors an opportunity to experience an unparalleled body of work curated by art professionals whose contributions to the art world are extensive and of critical importance to both seasoned and emerging artists and galleries alike. This will be our third consecutive year in this significant location in the hub of Historic Overtown. As in 2018, we will utilize the entire 5,000 square feet of the building #1 and expand to building #2 behind it, with an impressive program featuring visual artists, salon talks, film screenings, youth engagement and much more. The 2019 showcase will span over five days to accommodate interest and outreach from not only throughout North America but also the Caribbean, Africa, South America and Europe. Each year Art Basel Miami attracts a multitude of art buyers, collectors, curators and gallery owners to our fair city. It draws over 75,000 visitors, offers more than 5,000 gallery venues and creates over $2.5 billion in sales revenue throughout this event. The number of museums, galleries, and studios that proffer this wealth of visual art continue to increase exponentially each year and in response, the visitors and the revenues they bring to the community at large also continue to increase. In short, Art Basel Miami is the world's pre-eminent contemporary art fair whose cultural significance and revenue generating ability cannot be underestimated. As South Florida temporarily transforms into the international Mecca for art during Art Basel Miami, the local Black art community continues its efforts to establish a significant presence in the expo. Since the launch of the Art Africa Miami Arts Fair in 2011, several others have followed suit and created other venues that exhibit art from the African Diaspora, and these venues tend to be placed within the heritage communities, scattered in various smaller art spaces throughout the city. Within the Overtown neighborhood specifically, we've seen the launch of other art spaces all spawned by the initiative and energy brought by Art Africa Miami eight years ago. Attachment: File # 6703- Back up Packet Pg. 96 4.6.a The Art Africa Miami Arts Fair is the first art fair during Art Basel Miami to showcase solely artwork from the Diaspora and we have received widespread recognition for it.

We seek each year to transform, educate and enlighten the international community to the depth and breadth of art emanating from our local Black community, providing artists from the Diaspora a chance to leave their distinct mark on Art Basel and the international art clientele which it attracts.

On June 11, 2015, pursuant to Resolution No. CRA-R-15-0020, the Board of Commissioners authorized a grant in the amount of $585,000.00 for the rehabilitation of 18 affordable housing units at the Property. The actual construction costs amounted to 1.74 million dollars due to significant unforeseen conditions, delays and additional costs that provided for a premium product. As a result, additional funding in the amount of $435,000.00, has been requested in order to maintain housing affordability for residents in the Redevelopment Area. In exchange for additional funding, the Grantee has agreed to the terms and conditions listed below, which will ultimately provide additional affordable housing units for residents of low -to - moderate income in the Redevelopment Area. (1) Grantee has agreed to lease nine (9) two -bedroom units for below the prevailing monthly rental rate, for a period of 24 months to the CRA, the total of which the CRA will pay at the commencement of the lease period. The units will be used for the temporary relocation of residents at Town Park Plaza North and Town Park Village. (2) Upon the expiration of the 24 months, the Grantee has agreed to the following rental restrictions: a. Four (4) units at 60% of the Miami -Dade County area median income ("AMI") b. Two (2) units at 50% of the AMI c. Twelve (12) units at 80% of the AMI (3) The current agreement and restrictive covenant will be amended to reflect that the aforementioned rental restrictions will be in place until 2042.

APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: Coma -us S aver, Ex eutive Director 10/22/2019 Page7of7 Packet Pg. 130 4.9.a We at 1767 W 3 rd Avenue Apartments dba "0 Town Apts" would like to thank the entire CRA community for giving us the opportunity to partner on this visionary project of the Transformation and Beautification of Overtown. The grant from the CRA was given as an incentive to purchase and refurbish the subject property to building standards for affordable housing. We embarked on the project with enthusiasm which unfortunately was riddled with several challenges beyond our control. On our very first day of business after closing a condemn order was attached to the subject property. This was totally unforeseen on our part. We had all 18 apartments filled with 40 vagrants and were unable to inspect the building properly. We therefore relied on the credibility of our seller. Unfortunately the removal of all 40 hostile squatters was time consuming, costly and a huge undertaking. We now had a building that literally had to be rebuilt in its entirety, inside and out, other than the shell of the building. Code requirements for a condemned building are basically a rebuild. The entire building needed to be gutted. over 80 large containers of debris needed to be taken out. This cost close to $70,000 for demolition only. All 2x4is trusses, columns & straps needed to be removed and replaced. All walls and ceilings needed R-19 R-5.1 insulation to be installed throughout the building. These unforeseen costs were expenses that were not factored in our budget. The entire electrical system was obsolete and had to be totally replaced as it was necessary to bring the electric to code. The cost to bring the electric up to code was $319,202, 7.5 times the cost of what the allowance was appropriated by the CRA. The bill we had submitted for $180,000 just for framings had not been factored in as well as the new construction and the costs involved to bring the building to code. We are currently at a cost of (3) times our budget. Additionally we needed to dig 10 feet underground to construct a drainage system to ensure proper drainage of water as the area gets totally flooded. We have experienced as much as 24 inches of rainfall sitting in our parking area. This drainage system was at a cost of over $35,000 that was not factored in the original CRA Budget, this was costly but necessary. (see photos) However, this did not deter "0 Town Apts" from investing and financing the project. Honoring our commitment as it is our desire to build an 18 unit apartment building for affordable housing that its occupants are proud to make their home while working with the CRA and the community of overtown in the best way possible to restore the beauty of overtowri. ft is now obvious to us that the CRA like ourselves were not able to do the due diligence necessary for an inspection of the property and therefore was unable to properly asses the magnitude of the rebuild. We are asking the CRA assistance in light of the numerous unforeseen complications with this project. This has equated into a great loss of time and money. We have spent approximately three times what we had anticipated and approximately a year overrun. Enclosed are before and after pictures substantiating our predicament. We were unable to work on the building for an additional (7) seven months due to the washing facility for the tenants required by the City of Miami Building Dept that requested an `extension to the building' that would serve three washers and three dryers for th entire building (one set per floor). The zoning department for the City of Miami denied our submitted plan, claiming that once an `extension to the building' has been submitted you had to go by the 2012 code. Packet Pg. 131 4.9.a Which meant there would be additional parking spaces and handicapped re required. it is, we have 18 spaces for 18 units, and by building the extension for the washer and dryers, rs, we would lose three spaces, leaving us with only 15 spaces. The parking area would now be short approximately five parking spaces according to code and zoning would not approve the plan. The plan was n standbyfor about�� seven months in the city of Miami with no movement. I had requested on five different occasions a meeting with the City of Miami, building and zoning which they declined. l spoke to Brian Zeitsman at the CRA and informed him of ro my p blem and my dilemma. if our company did not decide to put a washer and dr yer (approximately y $75,000) in every apartment this project would not have gotten off the ground. We also had to put smoke and fire alarms in the development which was not included in the budget. This was an additional cost of over $40,000. Included on the next pageb) is a list of actual costs. This shows the expenses we incurred cost close to three times the original g nal estimate so far. We are incurring additional costs every day as we complete the project. We expect to complete the project on or before October 25th 2019. The CRA can appreciate that despite the numerous setbacks, we have honored our commitment to the cause of transforming Overtown as we believe in your vision. We are here for the CRA and the community. We have offered the CRA to place nine families in "0 Town Apts" complex for affordable housing at an attractive rate of $1000 per 2 bedroom unit, which is a $450 savings per month below the going rate. This is a savings to the CRA of $97,200 over a 24 month period. The favorable feedback from the community motivates us and strengthens our commitment to the neighborhood. We would appreciate your help on the current project under these circumstances and look forward to a mutually beneficial business relationship with the CRA on this and future projects.

It was inhabited by people who worked on the '_ railroad and other early ifidustfiarind commercial ventures, and was a thriving center of commerce and I; culture for the Black community,for music and entertainment in the 1940s and 1950s. Over the decades, the area declined economically due to migration of middle-class Blacks and the construction of I-95 and I-395 that bisected the community. In recent years there have been efforts to preserve the historical churches and the Lyric Theatre and to revitalize the entire Overtown area. The City of Miami and Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Agency in their0 infinite wisdoms has not forgotten the promises that were made to the people of the Overtown community to restore the neighborhood. The SEOPW CRA recognizes that structural revitalization of a community with new buildings, infrastructure and state of the arts facilities without economic revitalization of the existing businesses N and employment opportunities for the residents, recognizes that it would be inconsistent with its goals nE _c to foster progress and growth that reflects the vision and priority of the community. The Overtown community has transformed over the past decade, it has become one of the fastest o growing and most desired place to live, work and play in South Florida, which makes Overtown a point of destination for many. On June of 2015, the City Council of the City of Miami Gardens, Florida issued an ordinance;• • ordinance number 2015-06-341. This ordinance is known as the City of Miami Gardens Business and 0 Resident Economic Plan or CMG-BREP. This economic plan is designed to ensure that the residents0_ and the businesses of Miami Gardens not only see and enjoy the structural revitalization of the community, but this ordinance guarantees that they will take part in the economic revitalization and be assured that the dollars that the City of Miami Gardens gets from its residents and the dollars that they m get on behalf of its residents, will now find its way back into the homes of the residents they serve. The City of Miami Gardens Community Development Department has a motto that says, "Connecting the pieces for a stronger community." This motto echoes the SEOPW CRA written po1icie that will connect the Overtown community to its resources and make it stronger. Packet Pg. 143 "HISTORY Continue" ta. z E E 0 o_ The City of Miami Department of Community & Economic Development mission statement is to assist ng in creating a viable urban community for the neediest people in our City while reducing poverty, • embracing diversity, assisting with economic development, and improving the overall quality of life. In November 2004 the SEOPW CRA conducted the Dover Kohl study that outlined 14 guiding principles aimed to facilitate the redevelopment of the Overtown community. •_ E E In 2009 the City of Miami Planning Department updated the plan to further focus and defined the 0 guiding principles to structurally and economically revitalize the Overtown Community. 0 Within the plan, principle number 4 of 14 states "There must be variety in employment opportunities" and an EMPLOYMENT CENTER should be located within the neighborhoods to accommodate thos who wish to live in proximity to their work and reduce dependence on the automobile and long commutes. 0 In conclusion the general consensus in the community was that employment opportunities should be a s. high priority and made available to the existing residents of the Overtown Community. 0 z • • Overtown is faced with a unique situation when it comes to employment, not only are the residents faced with high unemployment and underemployment. Overtown has a recidivism problem, when we u> hear the word RECIDIVISM we often think about the revolving doors of crime in our community, % whereby men, women and children are caught up in the cycle of the criminal justice system. They commit crimes, go to jail and serve time in jail, get out of jail and sadly, but often find themselves co committing another crime and failing back into the cycle of RECIDIVISM. Well just like the RECIDIVISM of CRIME, the Overtown Community is faced with the RECIDIVISM of UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT, There is a vicious cycle th Overtown residents face, many residents are employed or underemployed and all of sudden they just quit the job or maybe even get terminated or just laid off.

It was inhabited by people who worked on the railroad and other early in-diistiiarind commercial ventures, and was a thriving center of commerce and =1 culture for the Black community, particularly for music and entertainment in the 1940s and 1950s. 0 Over the decades, the area declined economically due to migration of middle-class Blacks and the construction of I-95 and I-395 that bisected the community. In recent years there have been efforts to •_ preserve the historical churches and the Lyric Theatre and to revitalize the entire Overtown area. The City of Miami and Southeast Overtown Park West Community Redevelopment Agency in their ,a infinite wisdoms has not forgotten the promises that were made to the people of the Overtown community to restore the neighborhood. 0 The SEOPW CRA recognizes that structural revitalization of a community with new buildings, 73 infrastructure and state of the arts facilities without economic revitalization of the existing businesses and employment opportunities for the residents, recognizes that it would be inconsistent with its goals N to foster progress and growth that reflects the vision and priority of the community. o _c The Overtown community has transformed over the past decade, it has become one of the fastest growing and most desired place to live, work and play in South Florida, which makes Overtown a point of destination for many. On June of 2015, the City Council of the City of Miami Gardens, Florida issued an ordinance; (i) ordinance number 2015-06-341. This ordinance is known as the City of Miami Gardens Business and cc Resident Economic Plan or CMG-BREP. This economic plan is designed to ensure that the residents cc. and the businesses of Miami Gardens not only see and enjoy the structural revitalization of the CD community, but this ordinance guarantees that they will take part in the economic revitalization and be assured that the dollars that the City of Miami Gardens gets from its residents and the dollars that they 0 get on behalf of its residents, will now find its way back into the homes of the residents they serve. co The City of Miami Gardens Community Development Department has a motto that says, "Connecting the pieces for a stronger community." This motto echoes the SEOPW CRA written po1icie that will connect the Overtown community to its resources and make it stronger. _c Packet Pg. 157 "HISTORY Continue" 8 a) a - a a a- -0 The City of Miami Department of Community & Economic Development mission statement is to assist in creating a viable urban community for the neediest people in our City while reducing poverty, embracing diversity, assisting with economic development, and improving the overall quality of life. 4E' 3 In November 2004 the SEOPW CRA conducted the Dover Kohl study that outlined 14 guiding principles aimed to facilitate the redevelopment of the Overtown community. •_ In 2009 the City of Miami Planning Department updated the plan to further focus and defined the ,a guiding principles to structurally and economically revitalize the Overtown Community. Within the plan, principle number 4 of 14 states "There must be variety in employment opportunities" 72 0 and an EMPLOYMENT CENTER should be located within the neighborhoods to accommodate thos who wish to live in proximity to their work and reduce dependence on the automobile and long 73 commutes. In conclusion the general consensus in the community was that employment opportunities should be a .5 high priority and made available to the existing residents of the Overtown Community. _c "PROBLEM" Overtown is faced with a unique situation when it comes to employment, not only are the residents faced with high unemployment and underemployment. Overtown has a recidivism problem, when we hear the word RECIDIVISM we often think about the revolving doors of crime in our community, whereby men, women and children are caught up in the cycle of the criminal justice system. They commit crimes, go to jail and serve time in jail, get out of jail and sadly, but often find themselves committing another crime and failing back into the cycle of RECIDIVISM. Well just like the RECIDIVISM of CRIME, the Overtown Community is faced with the RECIDIVISM of UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT, There is a vicious cycle th Overtown residents face, many residents are employed or underemployed and all of sudden they just quit the job or maybe even get terminated or just laid off. 1490 NW 3 "Avenue, Suite 106 Miami, Florida 33136 Phone: (855) 298-7462 Fax: (888) 689-4811 Email: cwtp@cwtpinc.com Website: www.comm unityworkprogram.com 0 (r) • • a) 0 CD 0. ti) 03 00 0 N. 4:k a) LE E Packet Pg. 158 (I) 0 C.)
