(ALHWRS) is a Non -Profit 501c3 organization incorporated in 2012. Our mission is to provide mind, body, spirit and soul health and wellness support services. Our services foster healthy and holistic living with an individualized approach promoting healing, restoration, and resiliency. Through health education, advocacy, training and equipping, counseling, and facilitation of support groups, we aim to empower individuals and communities to prioritize their mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing by seeking help when needed and developing a self -care plan for successful living. Our service delivery fosters caring inclusive intervention making every individual feel valued, seen, heard, and supported on their wellness journey. We care for all people, however, there is a special emphasis on serving the marginalized and underserved communities (to include: at -risk individuals, low-income populations, youthful offenders, trauma and abuse, returning citizens, homeless individuals, disabled persons, veterans, elderly, and those suffering with mental issues). These communities tend to suffer poorer health outcomes and lack access to resources that support mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical wellbeing. Therefore, since our inception we have served approximately 10,000 Miami Dade County residents to include Overtown and Liberty City with their health andwellness needs. We have provided community health education, mental and physical health counseling/coaching, health lectures, healthtrainings, and health fairs and healing support groups. These health endeavors focused on conditions that adversely impact marginalized communities the most to include Cardiac Disease, Cancer, Hypertension, Stroke, Diabetes, COVID-19 Virus/Vaccinations, Grief & Loss, Mental Health, Gun Violence Prevention, and Trauma informed Care. Additionally, we have provided mental health education for 500 at risk youth, 60 caregiver workshops post COVID-19, and trained 200 individuals to conduct Grief and Loss support groups. We have also provided culturally competent diversity and inclusion healthcare training for 5 primary health care clinics in Miami Dade County post COVID-19 aimed at improving the patient care experience and the mental anguish around seeking equitable medical services. Our work has been funded by Center of Disease Control, Florida Department of Health, Live Healthy Miami Gardens, fund raising, and private donations and most recently Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Agency. Abundant Living Health and Wellness Resulting Services exist to make a positive health and wellness impact on individuals, families, and the most vulnerable community members thus promoting safe holistic harmonious living. The organisation was founded by Dr. Cheryl Coleman who provides leadership and oversight of the day-to-day operations and direct services. Dr. Cheryl Coleman is a healthcare champion with over 30 years of healthcare experience. She is a PhD prepared Advanced Practice Nurse with Critical Care and Emergency Room experience. She has served in various nursing roles to include Assistant VP Critical Care & Emergency Services, Director of Clinical Education, 3 Director of Acute Care & Dialysis, Charge Nurse, Staff Nurse, Nursing Professor, and Mental Health Counselor. Dr. Coleman's passion for seeing people healthy and whole mind body spirit and soul has led her to her most recent area of service as the Founder/CEO of Abundant Living Health & Wellness Resulting Services, Inc, a non-profit organization focused on ten -dimensional healing education modalities. She is also a licensed/ordained Minister and over the course of her 30 years in healthcare has served as a Faith Community Nurse working closely with churches and their surrounding communities to promote health education, facilitate faith health support groups, health coaching, mental and spiritual counseling to include grief and loss/trauma. Dr. Coleman also serves as a Faith Community Organizer working with 25 local churches and various community organizations on systemic issues that plague our community all with the intent on restoring and building a beloved community that fosters health and holistic living.

Abundant Living Health & Wellness Resulting Service, Inc. Contact Name: �'/4/ncJ Position: Signature: Date: 4 Program Design and Innovation: We are living through one of the greatest health crises of our time. The aftermath of the COVED-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our world and the mental health of many Americans. Life as we once knew it has forever changed. Many people have incurred tremendous losses to include family members, friends, economic stability, housing, social interaction, pets, and jobs. These types of compounded losses cause mental health challenges leading people to experience chronic states of hopelessness and despair. The persistent rise in mental health challenges, compounded grief, and unresolved trauma in Miami -Dade County underscores a critical need for targeted, innovative interventions. There is an undeniable relationship between untreated mental health issues, exposure to grief /loss, and trauma that manifests to higher rates of crime and community instability. Individuals facing unresolved trauma or chronic mental distress are statistically more likely to engage in high -risk behaviors or become entangled in the criminal justice system —often because of a lack of access to culturally competent mental health care and support networks. Our approach recognizes that sustainable crime reduction must be rooted in holistic community health. Grief is not an isolated emotional state but a complex experience that can lead to prolonged psychological distress, risky coping strategies, and the erosion of social cohesion. Trauma, whether due to violence, loss, or chronic adversity, can impair judgment, increase impulsivity, and perpetuate cycles of violence. Addressing these root causes is therefore fundamental to breaking the cycle. To meet these challenges, we are seeking funding support to continue the work started through the GRACE Mental Health Initiative which is a trauma -informed, evidence -based mental health and grief intervention program specifically tailored to the unique needs of historically underserved communities in Miami (specifically Southeast Overtown Park West). The core pillars of this initiative include: Delivery of accessible, high -quality mental health counseling that addresses the underlying factors contributing to both individual suffering and community instability. By providing evidence -based, trauma -informed counseling services, we aim to intervene early in the cycle of emotional distress, offering individuals an opportunity to heal before their experiences escalate into harmful behaviors or encounters with the criminal justice system. These counseling interventions are designed to be culturally responsive, honoring the unique backgrounds and needs of Miami's diverse communities, and are delivered by trained professionals who understand the intersection of trauma, grief, and community violence. Community -Based Trauma -Informed Care: Training community organizations and leaders in grief loss and trauma -informed practices to ensure every point of contact —whether a school, faith institution, or social service —offers safe, supportive environments for individuals experiencing distress. 5 Grief & Loss Support Networks: Establishing accessible, culturally competent grief counseling and peer support groups to provide safe spaces for residents to process loss, build resilience, and prevent the escalation of complicated grief into chronic mental health conditions or violence. Family and Caregiver Support: Offering education and resources to families impacted by trauma, violence, or loss, empowering caregivers to support healing and interrupt patterns of intergenerational trauma. By targeting the intersections of mental health, trauma, and grief, this program seeks not only to enhance individual wellbeing but to strengthen the social fabric of neighborhoods most affected by crime. Data consistently shows that communities with robust mental health infrastructures experience reduced rates of violence, recidivism, and incarceration. Our innovative model, rooted in community engagement and clinical best practices, is designed to create lasting change —transforming cycles of trauma into pathways of hope, healing, and safety for all. Our goal is to aid the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency in improving the quality of life and community safety of its residents by providing customized Mental Health & Wellness Services.

Strategic Partnerships: We will continue forming alliances with local law enforcement, educational institutions, faith -based organizations, and grassroots groups, co -developing interventions that bridge mental health services with public safety efforts. 2. Culturally Responsive Outreach: By engaging trusted community leaders and cultural brokers, we will deliver tailored workshops and forums that destigmatize mental health, trauma, and loss, ensuring access for historically marginalized populations. 3.

By addressing the invisible wounds that can drive crime, our engagement strategy works upstream —cultivating resilience, trust, and hope as the foundations for lasting community safety.

Trust -building efforts : Our trust -building efforts center on active listening, transparency, and consistent follow-through. By honoring lived experiences, following through on commitments, and creating ongoing opportunities for honest dialogue, we seek to repair and strengthen relationships, laying the groundwork for shared accountability and sustainable progress. 10 Crime Reduction Impact (15 points) A comprehensive approach to mental health —addressing untreated mental illness, unprocessed grief, persistent loss, and community trauma —has a direct and measurable impact on reducing crime. By meeting these underlying needs, interventions disrupt cycles of harm and retaliation, increase help -seeking behaviors, and foster social cohesion. Communities that invest in accessible, culturally attuned mental health support consistently experience decreases in violence, recidivism, and justice system involvement. By prioritizing healing, we shift the narrative from reaction to prevention, transforming sites of hardship into sources of hope and safety. Metrics for success: To evaluate the success of this initiative, we will deploy a range of quantitative and qualitative metrics that capture both immediate outcomes and long-term impact. Key indicators will include: Reductions in violent incidents and recidivism rates: Tracking police reports, hospital admissions, and justice system data to monitor decreases in violence, retaliation, and repeat offenses within the targeted neighborhoods. Increased utilization of mental health resources: Monitoring the number of residents accessing counseling, peer support groups, and healing events, as well as referrals made by Community Mental Health Ambassadors. Improvements in community well-being and resilience: Using validated tools and surveys to assess shifts in psychological distress, collective efficacy, trust in institutions, and sense of belonging among residents. Participant feedback and satisfaction: Gathering qualitative data through interviews, focus groups, and anonymous surveys to ensure interventions are culturally responsive, accessible, and meaningful to those they are intended to serve. Stakeholder engagement and collaboration: Measuring participation in advisory groups, collaborative sessions, and feedback loops, as well as the degree of shared leadership and ownership achieved across sectors. Public narrative change: Evaluating changes in community dialogue, media coverage, and institutional language around crime and healing, signaling a shift from punitive to preventive and restorative approaches. These metrics will be continuously reviewed in partnership with community stakeholders, allowing for data -informed adjustments that honor lived experience and advance both safety and healing. Evidence -based strategies: To address grief, loss, trauma, and mental illness effectively, the initiative will implement evidence -based strategies and interventions recognized by the CDC and SAMHSA. These include: 11 Trauma -informed care: Training community providers and ambassadors to recognize and respond sensitively to trauma, ensuring that all interventions prioritize safety, choice, and empowerment. Grief and loss support groups: Facilitating peer -led and professionally guided groups where individuals can process bereavement in culturally affirming and supportive environments. Cognitive -behavioral interventions: Offering accessible, brief therapies —including trauma -focused CBT—to help participants develop adaptive coping skills and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and post -traumatic stress. Community healing events: Hosting gatherings that integrate traditional practices, storytelling, and creative expression to foster collective resilience and provide space for shared healing from loss and adversity. Accessible referral pathways: Establishing clear connections to clinical mental health services, crisis supports, and longer -term therapeutic care for residents experiencing acute or chronic mental health challenges Psychoeducation and stigma reduction: Delivering workshops and campaigns that normalize help -seeking, increase awareness of mental health resources, and challenge harmful narratives around mental illness and trauma. Together, these strategies are tailored to meet the diverse needs of the community, reduce barriers to access, and promote sustained well-being and recovery as well as safer communities. Sustainability and Evaluation (15 points) To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of these services, the initiative will prioritize sustainability through diversified funding, community partnerships, and capacity building among local providers. Evaluation will involve ongoing data collection, outcome tracking, and community feedback to measure impact, inform continuous improvement, and demonstrate accountability for grant deliverables. Long -Term Funding Strategy The long-term funding . strategy for this mental health initiative centers on creating a resilient financial foundation to support ongoing efforts in reducing crime through mental health promotion. We will blend philanthropic support, local government funding, and strategic partnerships with healthcare providers and insurers to ensure continuity. Our organization applies for multi -year grants, cultivates individual donors invested in community wellness, and explores public -private collaborations that can underwrite services and digital platforms. We also plan to 12 implement a modest fee -for -service component for non-resident participants and corporate wellness partnerships. Data Collection Analysis: All program activities and outcomes will be tracked using H[PAA-compliant case management documentation/software, with regular audits to ensure data 'integrity. We will collect baseline, midline, and endline data on key indicators (violence incidence, wellness engagement, trauma symptoms, and community perceptions). Qualitative feedback from focus groups and participant testimonials will supplement quantitative analyses. Results will be shared with stakeholders to inform ongoing adaptation and accountability. Budget and Cost Effectiveness (10 points) A comprehensive and transparent approach to budgeting underpins the financial stewardship of this initiative. The proposed budget is both reasonable and itemized, detailing projected costs across personnel, program delivery, outreach, technology infrastructure, evaluation, and administrative support. Each expenditure is carefully aligned with programmatic priorities, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently to maximize direct impact on participant outcomes and community safety. Cost-effectiveness is achieved by leveraging existing community assets, investing in early intervention and prevention, and utilizing scalable digital solutions to minimize overhead. Collaborative partnerships facilitate resource sharing, while fee -for -service and corporate wellness programs generate supplementary revenue to offset expenses. Every dollar is strategically invested, not only to maintain service continuity but also to amplify savings through reduced crime' rates, lower emergency service utilization, and improved long-term mental health outcomes. Regular reviews of cost -benefit alignment will guide financial adjustments, guaranteeing that funds deliver measurable benefits both to individual residents and the broader community. 13 Reasonable and Itemized Budget: ANNUAL BUDGET DIRECT SERVICES Clinical Program director • Direct Clinical services (70%) $75,000 Mental Health Counselor $60,000 CONSULTANTS/GROUP MENTAL HEALTH SESSIONS Guest Group Mental health Facilitators 24 sessions X 300= $7,200 . $7200 Mental Health Wellness Materials 24 sessions X 150=$3600 $3600 Mental Health Ambassador/Educator $6000 MENTAL WELLNESS SUMMIT The mental health and wellness summit will target 300 minorities/residents in the Overtown area and will focus on closing the gap in mental health disparities that plaque our community.

Traditional criminal justice approaches often fail to address the underlying causes associated with mental illness, leading to cyclical patterns of incarceration and recidivism. The mental health crime reduction initiative seeks to implement targeted programs that provide early intervention, treatment, and support, thereby reducing the burden on law enforcement, judicial systems; and society as a whole. A thorough cost -benefit alignment ensures that resources are used efficiently to maximize both fiscal responsibility and social impact. Mental health crime reduction initiatives typically encompass a variety of strategies, including community -based treatment, crisis intervention teams, diversion programs, and comprehensive support services. These efforts are designed to reduce the incidence of crime by addressing mental health needs proactively, rather than relying exclusively on punitive measures. 15 Objectives: Reduce criminal behavior linked to untreated mental health conditions. Lower rates of recidivism among individuals with mental illness. Enhance public safety and community well-being. Optimize resource utilization across healthcare and justice systems. • Benefits Overview: The benefits of mental health crime reduction initiatives can be both quantitative and qualitative. They span fiscal savings, improved health outcomes, and enhanced social equity. Reduced Incarceration Costs: Diverting individuals with mental illness from jail or prison to treatment programs significantly lowers the cost burden on correctional facilities. Lower Recidivism Rates: Effective intervention curtails repeat offenses, reducing long-term reliance on the justice system. Improved Health and Stability: Access to mental healthtreatment leads to better medicationcompliance, lower emergency room visits, and improved quality of life. Community Safety: Decreased criminal activity enhances public safety and fosters community trust in public institutions. Economic Productivity: Successful reintegration and stabilization of individuals increases workforce participation and overall economic output. Cost -Benefit Alignment Analysis: Cost -benefit alignment involves systematically evaluating the initiative's expenses against its anticipated benefits to ensure optimal allocation of resources. Direct Costs vs. Savings Program Costs: While initial investments in training, salaries, and infrastructure may be substantial, these are offset by reductions in jail time and court costs. Healthcare Savings: Enhanced mental health support reduces emergency medical interventions and hospitalizations. Insurance and Audit: Indirect costs such as audit ($2,500) and liability insurance. ($1,000) provide necessary oversight and risk management, safeguarding long-term sustainability. Social Impact and Quality of Life Initiatives that address mental health needs contribute to overall social stability, reducing the stigma associated with mental illness and promoting inclusion. Families and communities benefit from reduced stress and trauma related to crime and incarceration. 16 Risk Assessment and Mitigation: Careful planning and performance monitoring ensure that resources are channeled toward evidence -based strategies. Ongoing evaluation identifies areas for improvement and adjusts services to maximize benefit realization. Measuring Outcomes and Adjusting Investment To maintain cost -benefit alignment, ongoing measurement of outcomes is essential. Key performance indicators include: Reduction in arrests and incarcerations for individuals with mental illness. Improvement in mental health and social stability measures. Decreased emergency service utilization. Enhanced satisfaction among program participants and stakeholders. Regular feedback loops with stakeholders, data -driven adjustments, and transparent reporting ensure that the initiative remains responsive to changing needs and optimizes returns on investment. Conclusion Cost -benefit alignment for mental health crime reduction initiatives is a dynamic process requiring strategic planning, robust evaluation, and flexible resource management. By centering services around evidence -based interventions and maintaining a clear focus on both fiscal responsibility and social impact, communities. can reduce crime, improve mental health outcomes, and foster lasting positive change.

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) is pleased to express our strong support for Abundant Living Health and Wellness Resulting Services in their efforts to secure funding to address crime reduction in Overtown. Research consistently shows that when communities address mental health crises with timely intervention, skilled de-escalation, and strong connections to care, rates of violence, recidivism, and unnecessary incarceration decline. This initiative represents a critical opportunity to reduce crime by tackling one of its root causes —unmet mental health needs —while strengthening trust between residents and those charged with public safety. NAMI's mission is to build better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. This project aligns closely with that mission by equipping frontline professionals with practical tools to safely manage high -stress encounters, divert individuals from the criminal justice system, and link them with life- saving community resources. Such interventions not only improve individual outcomes but also contribute to safer streets, reduced repeat offenses, and stronger neighborhood cohesion. Funding for this initiative will enable the delivery of proven, evidence -based approaches that support both immediate crisis resolution and long-term public safety goals. By fostering strong partnerships between public safety professionals and mental health organizations like NAMI, this effort will help create a sustainable model for reducing crime while improving quality of life for Overtown residents. We are confident that this initiative will have a measurable and lasting impact on crime reduction in Overtown. NAMI looks forward to collaborating as a resource and partner to help ensure its success.

These services are greatly needed by members of our community who have experienced some form of trauma. Almost all of us have experienced major loss or an event or series of events that have caused significant emotional distress, psychological harm, and/or disruption to our lives. For ourparticipants, being away from your family and friends during their stay in jail or prison is a traumatic event. We are grateful to have Dr. Cheryl Coleman as Community Partner because she cares about the community she serves. I can't tell you the number of times I have seen Dr. Coleman go beyond the call of duty to provide services. Without solid mental well-being, it's almost impossible for us to help participants become employed or get job training. Dr. Coleman makes herself available to participants at all times of day, including zoom calls when necessary. She is valuable part of the Overtown community. RFP 25-04 is the perfect fit for the work of Abundant Living I-Icalth & Wellness Services.

Traditional criminal justice approaches often fail to address the underlying causes associated with mental illness, leading to cyclical patterns of incarceration and recidivism. The mental health crime reduction initiative seeks to implement targeted programs that provide early intervention, treatment, and support, thereby reducing the burden on law enforcement, judicial systems; and society as a whole. A thorough cost -benefit alignment ensures that resources are used efficiently to maximize both fiscal responsibility and social impact. Mental health crime reduction initiatives typically encompass a variety of strategies, including community -based treatment, crisis intervention teams, diversion programs, and comprehensive support services. These efforts are designed to reduce the incidence of crime by addressing mental health needs proactively, rather than relying exclusively on punitive measures. 15 Exhibit "D" Insurance Requirements 14 INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS ABUNDANT LIVING HEALTH & WELLNESS RESULTING SERVICES, INC.
