These evaluation results were reviewed at a "Special Meeting -Public Moring", held on Detainer 21, 1975, During the "special Meeting -Public Hearing", certain important conclusions were formulated, and the Commissioners determined that they would wish an expanded review of program proposals. Within this expanded review, specific elements were designated to have a high value in measuring the acceptability of programs for funding consideration. These elements were: • Emphasis should be placed upon programs addressing the needs of the: - Aged - particularly as to "Hot Meats" - Poor persons - as means to ameliorate their environmental circumstances - Persons needing health care - Youth - particularly within the areas of child-care programs, and youth crime -prevention programs - Persons served by general community services • Programs should primarily serve City of Miami residents • Consideration should be directed toward programs that were pre- viously funded with City of Miami Social Services funds. In addition, it was understood that agencies requesting funds should not look upon the City of Miami as a singular rce of funds. Consequently, all fifty-six programs, together with air new programs sub- mitted that date, have been individually analyzed in accord with tht trite, expressed within that "Special Meeting -Public Hearing." As each program proposal was reviewed, data available as a result of the initial evaluation was up -dated, additional client data and funding information was i oh•lirr:! • and )genci requests were categOrited into their rples0: the (.1rrts oTressefi by thP rommiSsion.

A $20,000 funding level is recommended based upon the program ac- complishments to date: the publication and distribution of a tenant news- letter, prevention of tenant evictions, and enlistment of 292 housing units in a door-to-door campaign. The on -site interview with tenants In the Cen- tral and Culmer neighborhoods demonstrated this organization's success in educating and organizing tenants to improve their substandard housing. The $10,000 additionai funding level will more adequately address the 8,500 families residing in deficient housing, by hosting five tenant workshops and establishing a tenant's hot line. This is a locale "grass roots" type of organization, which is affiliated with the National Tenants Organization and provides its services free of charge. 9 C(TCOIVUT r,ROYf fAJL1' C1JNLc This ctmmnunity hated clinic will provide the following basic medical services on a slidfing-tor scale: Family Pianning, infant and Maternity Care, Psycholo- gical Counseling, feneral Medicine and tmmunitatton.

Supplementary funding is available through Medicare/Medicaid pay- ments and Metropolitan Dade County. The $50,000 recommended for this program in 1975-76 represents a 24 increase in operational funding.

IApt .COUNTY PUBLIC SC (Community Schools) The Community School program combines expended ut111tation of Dade County Schools with a multi -service type of round-tht-clock, r0und-the-,rear center for recreational, educational, cultural enrichment and a variety of social services. The City of Miami has had a working relationship with the Com- munity School program since 1961. Last year, the City contributed 03,000 in Federal Revenue Sharing Funds. The first Community School program es- tablished in the State of Florida was within the City of Miami at Ada Merritt Jr. High. At present, four community schools are funded in the City's General Operating Budget (Ada Merritt Jr. High, Allapattah Jr. High, Miami Edison Sr. High, and Booker T. Washington Jr. High). The $43,000.00 recommended from Revenue Sharing funds will provide nine additional community schools at Little River Elementary, Silver Bluff Elementary, Riverside Elementary, Primary "C", Shadowlawn Elementary, Fairlawn Elementary, Dunbar Elementary, Miami Northwestern Sr. High and Kinloch Park Jr. High.

Sth. St. to N.W. 29 St; Miami Ave.to N.W. 12th. Ave.). The City's federal Revenue Sharing funds ($4e,12S) *111 pro- vide 100 hot meals, 5 days a week, to elderly clients. A transportation element and other social activities will complement the daily meal. An indirect benefit of this program will be the inclusion and participation of low-income City residents (Manpower positions) who will staff this delivery site and provide these services. The long range result of this social service program would increase employment opportunities and provide program management experience for those involved. These three manpower slots ($10,000 ea.) would bring the total financial support from the City to $78,125.

This will allow expansion (by 1821) of this essential ser- vice to the low-ircome residents of the Wynwood area. Specifically, these funds will allow the addition of another staff attorney, a para-legal se- cretary end limited office operational expenditures. 21 YOuT { CO-OP, i This progrrtm received its initial start-up funding of $85,000 from the City of Miami on October 21, 1975. 25 students will function as peer counselors for 5C0 pre -delinquent and troubled youth.
