The existence of the slum and blighted areas in the Redevelopment Area and the shortage of affordable housing therein directly adversely affect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens and taxpayers therein and in the County. The deterioration and blight in the Redevelopment Area and the shortage of affordable housing are such that they cannot be remedied without intervention by the Agency to provide economic incentives to encourage redevelopment. It is necessary to provide economic incentives to not -for -profit businesses and/or to private for -profit businesses through grants of land and/ or money, which at the discretion of the Agency or its agent, may or may not be forgiven, to be applied to the 2024 Redevelopment Projects, in order to encourage the development of affordable housing and economic development in the Redevelopment Area through the construction of the 2024 Redevelopment Projects. The 2024 Redevelopment Projects will provide a substantial benefit to the citizens in the Redevelopment Area and the County and will serve a paramount public purpose with only incidental benefits accruing to the private developers receiving the grants of money to be applied to the 2024 Redevelopment Projects and to the affordable housing project to be included as part of the 2024 Redevelopment Projects. The rehabilitation and redevelopment of the Redevelopment Area is necessary and in the interest of the public health, safety, morals and welfare of the citizens within the Redevelopment Area and the County and in order to carry out such rehabilitation and redevelopment it is necessary and appropriate for the Agency to finance the 2024 Redevelopment Projects.

Upon (a) receipt by the Agency of written notice from DTC (i) to the effect that a continuation of the requirement that all of the Outstanding Series 2024 Bonds be registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, is not in the best interest of the Page 13 of 19 Packet Pg. 21 4.1 beneficial owners of the Series 2024 Bonds or (ii) to the effect that DTC is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities and no substitute depository willing to undertake the functions of DTC hereunder can be found which is willing and able to undertake such functions upon reasonable and customary terms, (b) termination, for any reason, of the agreement among the Agency, the Registrar and Paying Agent and DTC evidenced by the BLoR, or (c) determination by the Agency that such book -entry only system should be discontinued by the Agency, and compliance with the requirements of any agreement between the Agency and DTC with respect thereto, the Series 2024 Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, but may be registered in whatever name or names Holders shall designate, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

Problem Statement Youth in Miami's Overtown community face multifaceted challenges stemming from systemic socioeconomic disparities, limited access to quality educational resources, and a lack of professional opportunities. These challenges are compounded by an educational system that often does not provide adequate support for creative and professional development, leaving many young individuals without the skills necessary to navigate a rapidly evolving job market or to effectively manage their personal finances. Furthermore, there is a significant need for leadership development programs that not only address these educational and economic gaps but also foster a sense of agency, civic engagement, and cultural pride among the youth. These issues, if unaddressed, perpetuate cycles of poverty and limit the potential for community -driven growth and revitalization. This problem statement underscores the critical needs and challenges faced by the youth in Overtown and emphasizes the importance of the FACE program's comprehensive approach to fostering skills, leadership, and community engagement among its participants. It sets a clear context for the program's objectives and the expected impact on the community.

Financial Review Attachment: File # 16692 - Backup (16692 : 4/5th Vote: Urgent, Inc.) 10 Packet Pg. 139 4.5.b First Quarter (October - December) In the initial quarter of the fiscal year, the FACE program strategically allocated grant funds to kickstart various educational and developmental initiatives. A substantial portion of the budget was invested in setting up the necessary infrastructure for media arts education. This included purchasing new equipment such as cameras, computers, and software licenses essential for digital media production. Additionally, funds were used to hire qualified trainers and mentors to deliver the program's curriculum, ensuring that participants received high -quality instruction from the outset. Operational costs such as rent, utilities, and administrative salaries were also covered to ensure smooth program execution. Second Quarter (January - March) During the second quarter, the focus shifted towards deepening the educational impact. More funds were directed towards expanding the workshop offerings, including advanced sessions in film editing and animation. These workshops were designed to build on the foundational skills taught in the first quarter, pushing participants to develop more complex skill sets. The program also initiated partnerships with local businesses and industry professionals who contributed their expertise, enhancing the real -world relevance of the training provided. Part of the grant was allocated to organizing mid -program showcases where participants could display their work, receive feedback, and engage with the community, thus increasing their visibility and networking opportunities. Third Quarter (April - June) In the latest quarter, the emphasis was on solidifying participants' learning and preparing them for professional opportunities. Significant investments were made in preparing participants for end -of -program showcases and film festivals, which are crucial for their professional development. This involved specialized training sessions focused on presentation skills, portfolio preparation, and public speaking. Additionally, funds were utilized to finalize all project productions, ensuring that each participant had a polished piece of work to present. Operational costs remained a consistent expenditure, necessary for maintaining the program's infrastructure and staff support. Throughout the three quarters, the program not only adhered to its educational mission but also ensured that spending was aligned with strategic goals aimed at maximizing participant outcomes. Each quarter built upon the previous one, with funds being used not just to maintain the program but to enhance it, ensuring that participants received a comprehensive and enriching experience. Research and Statistics Attachment: File # 16692 - Backup (16692 : 4/5th Vote: Urgent, Inc.) 11 Packet Pg. 140 4.5.b Supporting Data Youth development, creative arts, and career development education play critical roles in fostering the intellectual, social, and emotional growth of middle and high school students. These educational initiatives not only enhance academic performance but also equip young people with the skills necessary for personal success and societal contributions. Youth Development Youth development programs are designed to support the holistic growth of young people by providing them with opportunities to cultivate their skills, character, and relationships. According to Eccles and Gootman (2002), effective youth programs offer safe environments, skill -building activities, and opportunities for meaningful youth participation. These elements are critical as they help youth develop a sense of safety and identity (Eccles & Gootman, 2002). Research has shown that youth who participate in well -structured development programs exhibit improved behavioral and academic outcomes, including higher school attendance rates and academic performance (Lerner et al., 2005). These programs often incorporate mentorship, which has been linked to positive outcomes in youth, including reduced engagement in risky behaviors and improved psychological well-being (DuBois et al., 2011). Creative Arts Education Creative arts education facilitates the development of critical soft skills such as creativity, problem -solving, and emotional expression. Winner, Goldstein, and Vincent-Lancrin (2013) argue that the skills learned in arts education, including persistence, collaboration, and the ability to take criticism, are increasingly important in the 21st-century workforce. Furthermore, studies have shown that students engaged in the arts are not only more likely to participate in community service but also perform better academically than their peers who do not participate in the arts (Catterall, 2009). The creative process involved in arts education allows students to explore new ideas and challenges, fostering a growth mindset and resilience (Catterall, 2009). Career Development Education Career development education in middle and high school is pivotal in preparing students for the transition from education to employment. According to Hughes et al. (2016), integrating career -focused education with academic learning enhances students' understanding of the relevance of their education to their future careers. This integration can lead to increased student engagement and motivation to succeed in both school and their eventual careers (Hughes et al., 2016). Career education programs that include work -based learning components, such as internships or apprenticeships, provide students with real -world experience that is invaluable in making informed career choices and developing workplace -relevant skills (Kemple, 2008). Enhancing Program Design with Project -Based Learning and Self -Determination Theory Attachment: File # 16692 - Backup (16692 : 4/5th Vote: Urgent, Inc.) 12 Packet Pg. 141 4.5.b The integration of Project -Based Learning (PBL) and Self -Determination Theory (SDT) in youth programs can significantly enhance both learning outcomes and student motivation. As demonstrated in the Capstone Project Final Paper (Nelson, S), the combination of these educational frameworks supports the development of competencies in media arts while fostering intrinsic motivation through autonomy, competence, and relatedness (Nelson, 2022). The application of PBL allows students to engage in real -world projects that enhance their learning and skills in a practical context. This method is particularly effective in creative arts education, where students can produce tangible, impactful works that resonate with their interests and career aspirations (Thomas, 2000). Meanwhile, SDT emphasizes the importance of supporting students' psychological needs to enhance their engagement and persistence in learning activities (Ryan & Deci, 2017). Summary In summary, the integration of youth development, creative arts, and career development education forms a robust framework that supports the diverse needs of middle and high school students. These educational programs are instrumental in preparing youth to face future challenges with confidence and creativity. By participating in such programs, students are better equipped to handle academic challenges, engage in creative processes, and prepare for successful careers. This holistic approach, supported by the application of Project -Based Learning (PBL) and Self -Determination Theory (SDT), fosters an environment that nurtures both cognitive and emotional growth. Implementation Plan Strategy The strategy for the upcoming year is to continue enhancing the digital media curriculum while expanding remote learning capabilities to ensure accessibility and inclusivity. This approach aligns with the rapid technological advancements and the evolving needs of students in digital literacy and media production. The plan includes integrating cutting -edge software and platforms that facilitate remote collaboration and learning, ensuring that students can engage effectively, irrespective of their physical location. • School Year (September - May): The program will run after -school sessions four days a week, each session lasting two hours. These sessions will focus on comprehensive digital media training, including film production, animation, graphic design, and digital storytelling. • Summer (June - August): During the summer months, the program intensifies with daily workshops from 9 AM to 3 PM. These workshops are designed to provide immersive, project -based learning experiences that culminate in a final project or exhibition.

Introduction and Background Overtown is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the City of Miami initially designated as a community for Blacks when Miami was incorporated in 1896. It was inhabited by people who worked on the railroad and other early industrial and commercial ventures, and was a thriving center of commerce and culture for the Black community, particularly for music and entertainment in the 1940s and 1950s. Over the decades, the area declined economically due to the 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 ar, to revitalize the entire Overtown area.

The SEOPW CRA recognizes that structural revitalization of a community with new buildings, infrastructure and state-of-the-art facilities without economic revitalization of the existing businesses and employment opportunities for the residents, would be inconsistent with its goals 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 growing and most desired places to live, work and play in South Florida, which makes Overtown a point of destination for many. The City Council of the City of Miami Gardens, Florida issued an ordinance June, 2015- ordinance number 2015-06-341. This ordinance is known as the City of Miami Gardens Business and Resident Economic Plan or CMG-BREP. This economic plan is designed to ensure that the residents and the businesses of Miami Gardens not only see and enjoy the structural revitalization of the community, but also guarantees that they will take part in the economic revitalization. They would also be assured that the dollars that the City of Miami Gardens receives from its residents and the dollars that they receive 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 policies that will connect the Overtown community to its resources and make it stronger. The City of Miami Department of Community & Economic Development mission statement is to assists 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. In 2009 the City of Miami Planning Department updated the plan to further focus and defined the 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" and an EMPLOYMENT CENTER should be located within the neighborhoods to accommodate those who wish to live in proximity to their work and reduce dependence on the automobile and long commutes. In conclusion the general consensus in the community was that employment opportunities should be a high priority and made available to the existing residents of the Overtown Community.

McQueen Executive Director Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency 819 NW 2nd Avenue, 3rd Floor Miami, Florida 33136 Re: FY'25 HEAT Proposal to Continue Partnership Training Hospitality Applicants for Good Culinary Jobs Dear Mr. McQueen: Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal to continue our partnership with the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency to provide culinary skills training to Overtown residents with a goal of placing program graduates in good, union hospitality jobs. We are grateful for CRA's longstanding support of HEAT's training program. This letter will serve as a summary of the attached proposal for fiscal year 2025. Hospitality Employees Advancement and Training, Inc. (HEAT) is a non-profit which provides culinary training in partnership with hospitality union UNITE HERE Local 355, union hospitality employers in South Florida, and importantly the CRA. HEAT conducts culinary skills training at the Overtown Performing Arts Center kitchen. These classes are provided at no cost to students. What makes HEAT's program unique is that HEAT tailors its training to meet the needs of participating employers and assists graduates with job placement in union jobs that provide excellent benefits, such as free family health insurance, good wages, a pension, and recall rights. In the attached proposal, HEAT is requesting $200,000 for fiscal year 2025 to fund student recruitment, culinary instruction, and cooking supplies for a year of culinary courses. Our budgeted expenses include personnel costs for the culinary instructor and outreach coordinator, cooking materials such as food, uniforms, knife sets for graduating students, and insurance costs. HEAT was formed in the Fall of 2018, and it has conducted 14, 8-week classes for line cooks. Since 2022, 19 Overtown residents graduated from the culinary program, 15 of whom were placed in good union jobs. A few profiles of these inspirational graduates are attached in our proposal, including LeCurtis Jackson, an Overtown native, who enrolled in HEAT's program to pursue his dream of becoming a cook after a battle with cancer. He graduated in 2023 and was placed as a union prep cook at Delaware North, a hospitality concessionaire. Packet Pg. 178 4.7.d As South Florida's hospitality industry flourishes and expands, employers face shortages of skilled workers, especially cooks. HEAT's partnership with the CRA has been essential to our program's ability to train Overtown residents for good union jobs with the potential for career growth in the region's core industry. We look forward to continuing our partnership with your team.

Despite life's challenges, including his father's passing when LeCurtis was just five years old, his dream of becoming a chef never waned. In 2015, LeCurtis moved to Fort Pierce, FL, seeking new opportunities. However, his journey took an unexpected turn in 2019 when he was diagnosed with cancer. Moving back to Miami in 2020, LeCurtis began an intense battle against the disease, undergoing chemotherapy and being given only three months to live. With immense courage and determination, he fought through and eventually beat cancer. After his recovery, LeCurtis decided it was time to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a chef. He discovered the HEAT Culinary Program through a flyer, which reignited his passion for the culinary arts. Although he initially started with Cohort 8, a health setback forced him to pause his studies. Not one to give up easily, LeCurtis re -enrolled with Cohort 9 and successfully graduated, marking a significant milestone in his life. Grateful for the unwavering support from his family and his faith in God, LeCurtis proudly walked across the graduation stage, knowing that he had overcome immense obstacles. Today, LeCurtis is a prep cook at Delaware North, where he continues to learn and apply his culinary skills across various establishments. His current role has fueled his ambition to advance to a line cook position, a goal he is diligently working toward. LeCurtis's story is one of resilience, faith, and an unyielding pursuit of his dreams. His journey through life's challenges has not only shaped his character but has also made him a true inspiration to those around him. Packet Pg. 185 4.7.d Michelle Garcia Overtown Miami, FL f 1. Michelle Garcia was born in Miami, Florida, and spent her early years in Little Havana before relocating to Overtown eight years ago. Growing up in a single -parent household, Michelle watched her mother work tirelessly to raise three children after the passing of her father when Michelle was just six months old. Her mother's perseverance and sacrifices allowed Michelle to pursue her dream of becoming a successful chef. Cooking has always been Michelle's passion, and she is deeply committed to refining her culinary skills in her quest to become the very best in her field. In December 2023, Michelle was introduced to the HEAT Culinary Program by a friend. Shortly thereafter, she seized the opportunity and enrolled in the program, beginning her journey toward a new career in January 2024 as part of the cohort 10 class. Throughout the program, Michelle consistently excelled, earning excellent grades, maintaining perfect attendance, and demonstrating a particular talent for plating and presentation. During her time in the program, Michelle gained invaluable experience in essential culinary practices. She learned the importance of teamwork, the proper procedures for sanitizing surfaces, the art of mise en place, knife skills, and the necessary techniques for handling food safely and effectively.

Additionally, some participants faced personal and logistical barriers, such as lack of reliable transportation and family obligations, which affected their ability to consistently attend the training sessions scheduled from 8 am to 12 pm. Another challenge was the retention of participants, as some individuals had to drop out due to unforeseen circumstances.

Transition provides clients with workforce readiness training, career exploration, job placements, occupational skills training and pro -active coaching. Transition targets its efforts towards assisting youthful offenders, returning residents, homeless, disabled persons, veterans and low-income individuals as well as others facing various employment barriers in the Overtown community. It is the agency's goal to remain proactively engaged with clients and to ensure they succeed in satisfying job performance standards as well as adopting additional life skills to remain financially stable and personally self-sufficient. Each year Transition provides services to over 4,000 residents. In addition, each of the last few years we have helped hundreds of justice -involved persons and Overtown residents become employed. Transition kindly requests the Southeast Overtown/Park West C.R.A. to provide funding for our `One -Stop Workforce Center". If you should have any additional questions, please feel free to contact our Executive Director. Stephen Gilmore at (305) 571-2001, Ext. 3007 or Email — sgilmore@transitioninc.org. We stand ready to answer any further questions. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, (--)4 Stephen Gilmor Executive Director Packet Pg. 197 4.7.d EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Our History) Since 1974, Transition, Inc. has a proven history of providing job development, training, referrals, and placement services in Overtown to justice -involved and justice -impacted persons as well as the homeless, low-income, single -parented households, veterans and more! We take pride in delivering comprehensive programs that positively impact our communities. While Transition has a long-term proven success with our core mission of helping justice -involved people find and maintain meaningful, gainful employment, we have expanded beyond by providing "wrap -around" services, including GED preparation, transportation assistance, food stamps, case management, counseling and almost everything else short of housing. Our partnership with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition provides fines and fees assistance to justice -involved men and women directly from our center each day. It is our experience that the participants we serve, and the other under -served communities we have come to serve, including troubled/disassociated youth, have distinct, additional needs that must be filled for them to be able to undertake a meaningful opportunity for employment. Our participants do not have the time or bandwidth to make multiple appointments with different agencies to obtain other support. Therefore, we offer our "One -Stop Center" to address the needs of Overtown residents. We have found that when we refer people out for these services, the perception (and the reality) is we are not truly assisting them but, instead, sending them to a sea of red tape, bureaucracy, and time and logistics sinks. On the other hand, when we have developed a positive rapport with our clients (we have a knack for this), and then provide the range of assistance needed in a "one stop" format, we have the best opportunity to effectuate our core mission: helping them get and maintain employment. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in May 2024, the unemployment rate for Miamians is 2.2%. This represents an upward trend of .2%. History has taught us that the unemployment rate among undeserved communities is many times higher than the average. Transition is prepared to combat that average and offer real employment opportunities. Transition will provide the following services to the residents of Overtown: Our "One -Stop Center" will provide the following. Workforce Readiness Training, Job Development, Job Referrals, Job Training, Job Placement, Job Training opportunities, Case Management, and Wrap- around Services. In addition, participants may attend Financial Literacy and Digital Education offerings. In 2024, Transition began providing "The Journey", a support group for those who identify as female and "Man -Up!", a support group for those who identify as male. Both groups provide a "safe space" where participants offer support, encouragement, and comfort to the other group members, and receive the same in return. Offering thorough programming with real solutions is at the center of our One -Stop approach. Meeting the needs of each participant through evaluation, counseling/mentoring, building real employment skills through job training, preparing participants for today's workforce and placing them in the workforce community. Transition makes a difference — One Job at a Time! Packet Pg. 198 INTRODUCTION 4.7.d Our Objective Our "One -Stop Work Center" will include Workforce Readiness Training, career exploration and job placement. addition, we will offer counseling and case management services to participants who need extra assistance in terr of housing, food, identification, and other wrap -around services.

N O N Cl O N rn ca Attachment: File # 16694 - Exhibit C Packet Pg. 202 4.7.d PROVEN SUCCESS STORY Since 1974 Transition has assisted thousands within South Florida's reentry community. We are excited to share the story of J. Singleton. His story exemplifies the need for our center, our purpose and our impact on our community. J. Singleton had completed over 33 years in prison in Virginia. He was ordered to return to Florida to face additional charges he incurred over 35 years ago. The South Florida judge determined that Singleton, a native of Miami, had "paid his debt society." Singleton was released to go home, however, he had no place to go! The judge reached out to former Transition Board of Directors' President, David Tucker, to see if our organization could help. The Virginia officials wanted Singleton to return where they would provide him a tent for shelter during the cold January. The South Florida judge declined and referred Singleton to Transition. Singleton had no shelter, no identification, no income, no food and no support - until he walked through the doors of Transition. Singleton was awkward, nervous and anxious when he met Transition's Executive Director Stephen Gilmore. Following a one-on-one conversation in Gilmore's office Singleton stated, "You are now my new best friend! You must help me or I will leave here, get a gun and shoot someone so I can return to jail!" Gilmore looked Singleton squarely in the eyes and stated, "We're going to help you!" Team Transition went into high gear - they contacted Chapman Partnership for housing assistance and completed Singleton's food stamp and Social Security Card applications. Singleton returned each day to our center so we could assist him in taking small steps toward self-sufficiency. As a volunteer Singleton demonstrated that he could "get things done." During a conversation with ED Gilmore, Singleton revealed he never had a birthday cake. Gilmore tucked that conversation safely in his mental reserves. After obtaining documents Singleton was now able to get his Florida identification. Unfortunately, getting an appointment for the DMV was challenging. This sparked the idea of the DMV coming to Transition. After several meetings with the Florida Highway of Safety and Motor Vehicles, Transition was selected as a mobile unit site. Singleton received his identification and his Placement Specialist secured several interviews for him. Singleton had a choice between four employers - he didn't go with the highest offer! He selected the job that he would enjoy performing each day. Today, Singleton is employed as a Supervisor within that Warehouse almost one year later. He has his own apartment, reconnected with his family, attends church regularly and his Best Friend made sure he had his first birthday cake - a peanut butter cake with chocolate icing - his favorite! Positively impacting our community - our daily goal at Transition!

Florida Profile Here are a few more statistics from Prison Policy initiative: • Prisons in Florida force incarcerated people and their families — some of the most vulnerable members of society — to subsidize mass incarceration. • 58% of people in Florida jails have not been convicted of a crime, meaning they're legally innocent. There are simple steps the state can take to reduce this number. Why isn't it? • Florida releases roughly 526,765 men and 160,337 women from its prisons and jails each year. What is it doing to support them upon reentry? • Black people in Florida are incarcerated at a rate 4.2 times higher than white people. • Florida's choice to criminalize "failure to appear" may be hurting public safety Miami -Dade County, FL Updated: June 11, 2024, f 72 PM UTC Each day between 75 and 250 justice -involved persons arc release from our local jail.
