SECTION A TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
Narrative of Human Resources of Miami, Inc.
Human Resources of Miami, Inc. is the most qualified and the best choice for this project, mainly
because we are located in the Southeast Overtown/Park West area and have been here for many years.
We did not move to the area to take advantage of any governmental benefits, we are here solely to
serve the community. Originally, in 1999, we helped this area by registering more than 300 women
who wanted to work but could not find employment nor possessed the skills to interview. Human
Resource Staffing assisted the young ladies with training and placement with entities that needed
massive numbers of employees or waitress, custodians for hotels, and landscaping.
We are a part of the community through our cooperation with several faith -based organizations, and
visited apartments and local stores, going door to door, offering assistance to the dwellers, both
spiritually and with counseling.
Through our relationship with McDonald's Playworld Community Development, Inc., a community -
based corporation, we have walked the streets, been in and out of One Stop/Workforce, distributing
flyers and enrolling teenagers in school, placing them in daycares for "free care" for the children of the
teenagers, and we have provided counseling to pregnant women in the shelters located in the Overtown
area, as well. We can be relied upon to provide services to this area, because we have, and often
without reimbursement or financial resources from anyone.
Another reason why Human Resources of Miami, Inc. is uniquely qualified to provide street cleaning
and maintenance services to the Overtown area, is because both the management and leadership of the
company, were born in Miami, Florida, and lived in this community during some stage of their lives —
they either attended school, attended church, rode the bus, walked through the streets, and survived, not
overcome by the challenges of this uniquely burdened community. Again, we are a part of this
community.
During the years of 2005 thru 2010, most of Human Resources of Miami, Inc.'s efforts were directed
towards developing a product that the union workers of Miami Dade County School Board would be
able to provide at a low cost, to cover both health and other risks that this level of employee faces.
After many attempts, this effort was not completed, since the primary person (my husband) passed in
2010. Thus, as we regrouped in 2010, we focused more on our original mission of assisting the low-
income, deficiently skilled worker, with finding employment in a highly competitive and complex
society, such as Miami, Florida.
Since 2010, this contract, Overtown Enhancement Team Services Pilot Program, is consistent with our
game plan of self -empowerment by the community. By hiring eleven (11) employees from the
Overtown community, there will be a ripple effect experienced throughout the community, not to
mention, the increased level of self-esteem, pride, confidence, and ability to contribute to each
individual family's household. Human Resources of Miami, Inc. would like to be a part of this
endeavor.
1

skills, as evidenced by their training, education, and experience, and will be able to manage and operate
the shift, starting from 8:00 am until 3: 00 pm, with a one hour lunch break.
Even though this project started as a one-year pilot program, but with our continued success over
the past nine years, we are requesting that we are provided funding for the year 2022-2023
(which will be our ELEVENTH YEAR being funded by CRA)!!!!

Continued Expansion from prior years
1. Expand the function of the Crew Manager, to include more community outreach, counseling, job
fairs, externships, internships, and job placement for 50% of the time employed and managing the
crew the balance of the time, serving as the liaison between the Contract Manager and CRA.
2. Empower the position of Crew Leader/Field Supervisor with the skills, ability and authority to
manage the crew, as we nurture a second position to have supervisory responsibilities, serving as the
Crew Supervisor/Truck Driver.
3. Increase hands on exposure to landscaping, environmental, and construction skills for the entire
team, by providing externships with Human Resources of Miami's Landscaping Division and other
entities, in the Overtown community, organized and supervised by the Crew Manager.
4. Expand the support services to the team, which will include one (1) hour weekly training, such as
budgeting, credit counseling, drug -testing, life -skills counseling, and parenting skills, so that all
trainees can transition from this part-time job to a more permanent, full-time employment within
other parts of the community. The crew will also have one (1) hour per month scheduled for
community services, to assist with developing within them a desire to help the community and
themselves, as we are training them to be leaders, supervised by the Crew Manager.
10
5. Applicants not hired will be maintained as a separate pool of individuals, whom we will counsel
and perform assessments of their career options and their unmet needs socially, such as housing,
medical, drug and alcohol dependency, educational deficiencies, to name a few. These persons will
be referred to the appropriate community services for assistance. They will also serve as the "on
call" data base for daily placement during the duration of the contract, if the originally hired
individuals leave, quit, or are terminated. We estimate 31 to 35 persons will be helped.
6. After completion of the program, all crew members should transition to external positions,
preferably, full-time, and/or educational and vocational options, so that a new crew can become a
part of the CRA Overtown Beautification team. Our goal is to train/hire, at a minimum,
annually, fourteen (14) persons for the daily project needs.
CONCLUSION
Human Resources of Miami/Overtown Beautification Team is requesting $500, 000,
which will allow us to maintain the activity level of 30 hours per employee/trainee
and 40 hours for crew management. We will employ 13 persons with 3 alternates,
for a total of 16 individuals This amounts to a total of 430 hours weekly and
21,930 hours per the contract term. We will also assist 31 other persons with
community referrals and job placement (individuals not able to hire). The cost per
participant for the entire cost of $500, 000, therefore, is $22.80 per participant hour
for the eleven (14) persons hired. Our goal will be to assist 45 persons in total
annually.
Human Resources ofMiami/Overtown Beautification Team is grateful and excited
for this renewal period, giving us the opportunity to perform the contract is much
less than the contribution to the community and residents, enhancing first, the
environment, the employee (self-respect and self-worth), the economic input to the
immediate Overtown environment, allowing the employee/trainees to spend cash to
spend in the community with their families at the grocery stores, rental expenses,
and general shopping. In general, the trainees will be receiving a fully -loaded
hourly rate of $18.09 per hour, which include their direct cost and fringe benefits.
Per CRA goals and objectives, Human Resources of
Miami, Inc. will enhance career and personal
development for each eemployee/trainee, and will
produce responsible citizens to live and work in the
Overtown community!!
