NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficient of which is hereby acknowledged, the SEOPW CRA and
Grantee agree as follows:
Page 1 of 10
1. RECITALS. The Recitals to this Agreement are true and correct and are incorporated herein by
referenced and made a part hereof.
2. GRANT. Subject to the terns and conditions set forth herein and Grantee's compliance with all of
its obligations hereunder, the SEOPW CRA hereby agrees to make available to the Grantee the Grant to be used
for the purpose and disbursed in the manner hereinafter provided.
3. USE OF GRANT. The Grant shall be used to underwrite costs associated with underwrite costs
associated with the operation and programming of the Program, in accordance with the scope of work and budget
in Exhibit `B", attached hereto and incorporated herein. The SEOPW CRA is not obligated to expend additional
funds beyond the approved grant.
4. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date written above and shall
terminate September 30, 2024, or when the grant funds of Two Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents
($220,000.00), are expended, whichever occurs first. However, the following rights of the SEOPW CRA shall
survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement: to audit or inspect; to require reversion of assets; to
enforce representations, warranties, and certifications; to exercise entitlement to remedies, limitation of liability,
indemnification, and recovery of fees and costs.
5. DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT.
a. GENERALLY. Subject to the terns and conditions contained in this Agreement, the
SEOPW CRA shall make available to Grantee up to Two Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents
($220,000.00). In no event shall payments to Grantee under this Agreement exceed Two Hundred Twenty
Thousand Dollars and Zero cents ($220,000.00). Payments shall be made to Grantee or directly to vendors on
behalf of Grantee, only after receipt and approval of requests for disbursements.
b. PRE -APPROVAL OF EXPENSES. Grantee agrees to submit to the SEOPW CRA all
requests for the expenditure of Grant funds for pre -approval by the SEOPW CRA. Failure to submit said requests
prior to incurring expenses may result in the Grantee bearing the costs incurred. The SEOPW CRA shall review
said requests to ensure that the expense sought to be incurred by the Grantee is an expense within the scope of work
and budget attached hereto as Exhibit `B" and the SEOPW CRA reserves the right to deny any and all requests it
deems to be outside of the scope and budget.
c. REQUESTS FOR DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT. All requests for the disbursement of
grant funds by the Grantee shall be certified by the Grantee's authorized representative. All requests for
disbursement of grant funds must be in writing and must be accompanied by supporting documents reflecting the
use of grant funds and/or expenditures incurred, and that said request is being made in accordance with the
Program's approved scope of work and budget and for expenditures incurred during the Term of this Agreement,
as reflected in Exhibit `B". For purposes of this Agreement, "supporting documentation" may include invoices,
receipts, photographs, and any other materials evidencing the expense incurred. The Grantee agrees that all invoices
or receipts reflecting the expenses incurred in connection to the Program shall be in the name of the Grantee, and
not in the name of the SEOPW CRA in light of the Grantee's inability to bind the SEOPW CRA to any legal and/or
monetary obligation whatsoever. The SEOPW CRA retains the right to request additional supporting
documentation, or additional explanation for any and all expenses incurred by the Grantee. Grantee's failure to
provide additional supporting documentation or additional explanation regarding expenses incurred shall serve as
grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement, and the Grantee shall bear the costs associated with any
expenditures not approved by the SEOPW CRA prior to the date of termination. Grantee understands and
acknowledges that the SEOPW CRA shall not disburse grant funds for any expense that has not been previously
Page 2 of 10
approved by the SEOPW CRA in accordance with Section 5(b) above, and that such expenses shall be borne solely
by the Grantee.
d. CASH TRANSACTIONS PROHIBITED. The parties agree that no payment will be made
to Grantee as a reimbursement for any Program -specific expenditure paid in cash. Grantee acknowledges that a
cash transaction is insufficient per se to comply with record -keeping requirements under this Agreement.
e. NO ADVANCE PAYMENTS. The SEOPW CRA shall not make advance payments to
the Grantee or Grantee's vendors for services not performed or for goods, materials or equipment which have not
been delivered to the Grantee for use in connection with the Program.
f. EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE. The Grantee understands and acknowledges that all
office equipment, such as computers, copiers, printers, facsimile machines, telephone, and furniture purchased with
Grant funds shall be returned to the SEOPW CRA upon the SEOPW CRA's sole determination that the Grantee's
Program in the Redevelopment Area has closed and has ceased to operate. Grantee acknowledges that said
equipment and furniture are the property of the SEOPW CRA.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Grantee understands that the use of the
Grant is subject to specific reporting, record -keeping, administrative and contracting guidelines and other
requirements affecting the SEOPW CRA's activities in issuing the Grant. SEOPW CRA agrees to provide notice
of said guidelines and other requirements to Grantee in advance of requiring compliance with same. Include a
Financial Literacy course to assist with everyday life financial roadblocks. Acquiring financial literate skills will
assist with economic distress, improve the standard of living, and support financial stability. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Grantee represents and warrants that it will comply, and the Grant will be used in
accordance with all applicable federal, state and local codes, laws, rules and regulations.
7. REMEDIES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE. If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations or
covenants hereunder, or materially breaches any of the terms contained in this Agreement, the SEOPW CRA shall
have the right to take one or more of the following actions:
a. Withhold cash payments, pending correction of the deficiency by Grantee;
b. Recover payments made to Grantee;
c. Disallow (that is, deny the use of the Grant for) all or part of the cost for the activity or
action not in compliance;

a. PUBLIC RECORDS; MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. This Agreement shall be subject
to Florida's Public Records Laws, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. The parties understand the broad nature of these
laws and agree to comply with Florida's Public Records Laws, and laws relating to records retention. Moreover,
in furtherance of the SEOPW CRA's audit rights in Section 8(c) below, the Grantee acknowledges and accepts the
SEOPW CRA's right to access the Grantee's records, legal representatives' and contractors' records, and the
obligation of the Grantees to retain and to make those records available upon request, and in accordance with all
applicable laws. The Grantee shall keep and maintain records to show its compliance with this Agreement. In
addition, the Grantee's contractors and subcontractors must make available, upon the SEOPW CRA's request, any
books, documents, papers, and records which are directly pertinent to this specific Agreement for the purpose of

b. REPORTS. The Grantee shall deliver to the SEOPW CRA reports relating to the use of
the Grant to the SEOPW CRA monthly, including details regarding supportive services provided to residents of

has complied with this provision. Thereafter, continued failure by the Grantee in providing such reports shall be
considered a default under this Agreement.
c. AUDIT RIGHTS. The SEOPW CRA shall have the right to conduct audits of the

resulting from or in connection with: (i) the performance or non-performance of the services, supplies, materials
and equipment contemplated by this Agreement or the Program, whether directly or indirectly caused, in whole or
in part, by any act, omission, default, professional errors or omissions, or negligence (whether active or passive) of
the Grantee or its employees, agents or subcontractors (collectively referred to as "Grantee"), regardless of whether
it is, or is alleged to be, caused in whole or part (whether joint, concurrent or contributing) by any act, omission,
default, breach, or negligence (whether active or passive) of the SEOPW CRA, unless such injuries or damages are
ultimately proven to be the result of grossly negligent or willful acts or omissions on the part of the SEOPW CRA;
or (ii) the failures of the Grantee to comply with any of the paragraphs provisions herein; or (iii) the failure of the

of Services hereunder, provided, however, that Grantee shall at any time upon request by SEOPW CRA file
duplicate copies of the policies of such insurance with the SEOPW CRA.

additional liability insurance coverage or coverage which is different in kind, SEOPW CRA reserves the right to
require the provision by Grantee of an amount of coverage different from the amounts or kind previously required
and shall afford written notice of such change in requirements thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the
requirements shall take effect. Should Grantee fail or refuse to satisfy the requirement of changed coverage within
thirty (30) days following SEOPW CRA's written notice, this Agreement shall be considered terminated on the
date the required change in policy coverage would otherwise take effect. Upon such termination, SEOPW CRA

OVERTOWN EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE CENTER
--- °-lei story n
Overtown is one ofthe 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 migration of middle-class Blacks and the
construction of 1-95 and 1-395 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
infinite wisdoms has not forgotten the promises that were made to the people ofthe Overtown
community to restore the neighborhood.
The SEOPW CRA recognizes that structural revitalization of a community with new buildings,
infrastructure and state o f 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
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 ofthe 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;
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 ofthe
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
get on behalf of its residents, will now fmd its way back into the homes ofthe 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.
Pg.2
"HISTORY Continue"
The City ofMiami 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 oflife.
In November 2004 the SEOPW CRA conducted the Dover Kohl study that outlined 14guiding
principles aimed to facilitate the redevelopment ofthe 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 14states '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.
"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 R E C I D M S M we often think about the revolving doors of crime in our community,
whereby men, women and children are caught up in the cycle ofthe criminal justice system. They
commit crimes, go to jail and serve time in jail, get out ofjail and sadly, but often find themselves
committing another crime and falling 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 that
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.
