Youth Programs
City of Miami
In an effort to provide a comprehensive history of the efforts and
resources dedicated by the City of Miami towards meeting the needs
of youth in the City, the enclosed report is provided.
The report deals with the four specific issues which the City has
been directly involved in for the past three years.
• Youth Services Agency
• Downtown Youth Crime Commission
. Miami Youth City/Municipal Justice Building
• City Youth Programs
The C. of Community Affairs will continue to provide on -going
youth programs and will serve as the organizational resource to
address further coordination of agencies providing youth services
as it relates to the City.
This report demonstrates the efforts and allocation of resources
by the City in the view of youth services. Specifically, it
addresses the distinction between utilizing the Municipal Justice
Building for a Youth City and the concept of providing comprehensive
youth programming by the City of Miami.
q)
h programming for the City of Miami.has been ah atea of
efitrated study since July 1976
Four specific projects have been reviewed and/or
implemented in the area of youth services
Youth Services Agency
- Downtown Crime Commission
Miami Youth City - Municipal Justice Bui1difg
a. City Youth Programs
`fin July 1976, the Office of Community Affairs developed a
Youth Services Agency Report. (Attachment A) The "Youth
Services Agency Project" report addressed the following
findings and recommendations:
Existing agencies providing youth Services could improve
coordination, resource utilization and effectiveness
Through formalized communication activities
Through a coordinated approach to funding
The "Youth Services Agency" addresses current gaps in
service delivery
Through structured linkages
• Through
on -going needs surveys
The recommended approach requires a coalition involvi'.
- An Interim Administrative Board
- A Governmental Advisory Board
A segment of the City of Miami's Municipal Justice
Building for Program -Planning activities
Inter -agency staff teams
11 • Findings to date in the Downtown Crime Committee report
support the findings and recommendations of the Youth Services
Agency report. These findings are:

Resulting from the Youth Services_Agehdy Report and
requests from the Downtown Chamber of Commerce, the
City of Miami assumed the lead in developing the
Downtown Crime Committee. The objectives of this
Committee were as follows:
Study the extent of youth related crime in the
Downtown area from merchants and residents point
Of view (Attachment B)
Review agencies providing Youth Services in the
Downtown - Culmer area (Attachments C & D)
Review the Scope of Services currently being provided
in the area
Provide meaningful conclusions and recommendations
Need for coordinated Youth Services
More recreational programs
Increased employment opportunities
The need for youth facilities in the area
I A consortium of youth related organizations proposed developing
a Youth Services Agency within the Municipal Justice Building
The Consortium included:
The Department of Health & Rehabilitative Services
- Dr. J. J. Barnes, representative
No written committment to date
Program area of concentration is a diagnostic:,
center for youth
Requested 18,000 sq. feet
Catholic Service Bureau
- Dr..Ben Sheppard, representative
- Letter of intent provided (Attachment E)
Program area - South Florida Youth Adult program -
employment
Requested 5,000 sq. feet

Letter of intent provided (Attachment 0)
Program area - rehabilitation of youthful ciffen
Requested 800 sq. feet
Youth Co -Op
Angel Alvarez, representative
Verbal interest expressed
Program area - peer counselling
Requested 800 sq. feet
The agencies represented participated in the "Youth City"
Consortium development to address tentative uses of the
Municipal Justice Building in terms of youth.
No agency or group has, as this date, provided the overall
umbrella of administrative direction except that the Office
of Community Affairs has continued to act as the coordinator
of the effort to developing a Youth City concept in accord
with the expressed desire of the City of Miami Commission
and Administration.
With the exception of the Miami Bridge, no other agency or
group has provided a firm dollar related committment toward
implementing the Youth City program design.
The Miami Bridge has expressed its desire to occupy the old
Miami Police Academy - a separate structure adjacent to the
main facility. Currently the Office of Community Affairs is
negotiating a lease containing:
• Use of 5,400 sq. feet
A lease payment of $10,000 pet year
t
No Costs to the City for:
= Operations
Maintenance
utilities
Renovation
Custodial serVides
Insurance
A 90 day vacate clause
While the entire Municipal Justice complex had been considered
the area of study, for the Consortium, the required move of
certain City Departments into most of the main facility has
reduced the available space to locate youth programs within the
Municipal Justice Building.
Certain youth program planning activities have been accomplished
within the framework of the Office of Community Affairs that
continue to provide a City of Miami involvement in addressing
the youth related concerns expressed in the Youth Services Report
of July 1976.
• These program activities include:
- Youth for Youth Program
- In -School Program
- Summer Teen Employment Program
In addition, a full-time Youth Program Administrator has been
hired to conduct planning and programming of youth service
activities for the City of Miami.
The Office of Community Affairs, through the Youth Programs
Section, will research additional funding sources to address
identified needs of Miami's youth. The City of Miami, then,
has provided a systematic effort toward the development of a
concept, identification of needs, implementation of research
and program activities and has developed organizational capa-
bilities to address the issues represented in this report.

tV, The dity of Miami will dontinue its coordinated app

mm
The reduction of space does not imply a reduced
committment to the needs of City of Miami youth
The overall design of Youth Services within the
City of Miami, includes a planned approach toward
youth programming including the implementation of
the Youth City concept
Historically, the City of Miami has addressed Youth Services
in an increasing reallocation of resources towards meeting
the needs enumerated in the original Youth Services report
prepared three years ago. A clear distinction should be
made between the use of the Municipal Justice Building for
Youth Services and a continued committment and involvement
by the City of Miami in addressing the needs of youth.

is aware that there are many agencies just outside the area
that are serving youth residing in the target area.

The United Way terminal was used to determine the agencies
serving within the county. From this list the agencies are
drawn out that are within the target area.

Your proposal to establish n Youth City Social Service complex at the

is wholeheartedly supported by myself and Catholic Service Bureau, tut..
Dr. Sheppard lens already evidenced our support of the pt o leeL to von
and the commission.
Two programs of the Archdiocese are desirous of being part of this
complex -- The Miami Bridge and the South Florida Young Adult Program.
Both of these youth programs are located within the City of Miami and
they have n high percentage of city residents as clients. In addition
each has a service link with eac:t other and those State of Florida
Health and Rehabilitation programs which would also use the facility.
The total level of service, its coordination and timeliness would be
greatly improved if so many youth programs could be housed together.
Both Archdiocesan programs are fiscally sound and would not cause addi-
tional financial burden to the City. They can move to the complex
immediately if approval is received.
Be assured of the support of Catholic Service Bureau, Inc. for your
proposal and of thc• cutnrnittntent of these two programs to the Youth
City proposal and the young citizens of Miami. Please let me know
if I can be of further assistance.
With kind regards, I am
Sincerely yours,

one funding source is adequate to support the program.
Therefore, efforts to provide funds so that service to clients can
be available is a constant and never ending process. I do not envy
you the pressurss that you :rust feelto do the same on a much larger
scale with the city programs and fiscal matters.
