in the memorandum to this agenda cover
This two-story facility has been used since 2010 to provide public services in the City of Opa-locka and it has become an unsafe and
unhealthy environment due to the structural,electrical,mold and mildew as demonstrated in the pictures that services will come to a halt

LOW-MOD AREA BENEFIT(LMA)—CDBG DETAILED SCOPE OF SERVICES
January 1, 2015—December 31, 2015
Name of Department: City of Opalocka
Activity Title: Opa-locka Community Care and Rousers Center
FY 2015 Funding Amount: $ 221,917
1. Agency Information:
Provide a brief description of your department.
Public Facility—Capital Improvement
Opa-locka Community Care and Resource Center-(Young Bowers and Brown Bldg)
This two-story facility in centrally located City of Opa-locka once housed Young Bowers and Brown and since their departure the building has been used since 2010 to provide public services
in the City of Opa-locka and it has become an unsafe and unhealthy environment due to the structural,electrical,mold an mildew as demonstrated in the pictures that services will come to a
halt due to its structural,roofing,dangerous electrical issues,no ADA bathrooms that are not functional to serve the public and is in a state of deterioration and disrepair.The roof that is 60
years old,caving in,water leaks and in additional it has become unsafe due to other structural issues and cracks in the structure.Although the building appears to be"acceptable"by no
means when you go inside,the pictures and inspections paint a sadder picture.The building cannot continue to house the staff of three nor allow any more residents to come in for services.
The sanitary issues are deplorable,the bathrooms are not under code and compliance,the windows are cracked on the inside,and the second floor cannot be used.We have attached the
pictures that actually do not do the reality as much justice as the inspection.The building will need to be demolished and immediate mold remediation must be started.The Opa-locka
Community Care and Resource Center is located on Street in Opa-locka Florida. The location is a two-story building that has a Moorish-like Theme outside but inside a walkthrough
inspection depicts a different reality.It has been the home of the CET Team which has been providing services to the City of Opa-locka since 2010.The building has deteriorated immensely
to a point that it has become a dire urgency to re-locate the staff and put an immediate halt to the services that have now tripled in non-duplicated human,social and public services because
of the structural state of the building and it can no longer serve the needs that have increased from serving 500 residents to 1200 and the numbers are rising residents per month and they
are being turned away.For this ailing City,this is unfair to our residents in need and we believe that with the assistance from Public Housing and Community Development,your fidelity in
funding our needs wit'allow these children,youth and families to have services that will not only empower them but lead them to stainability
2. Proposed Activity:
Provide a brief description of the proposed activity, including who will carry it out, how low-to-moderate income

3. Service Area/Address:
Describe the area to be served by the activity or provide the site address.
History of Building and Services
The Opalocka Community Care and Resource Center located at 2105 Alibaba Avenue was created in the early part of 2010 due to the vast number of
police officer calls from residents living in the Magnolia area of Opa-locka.The complaints were two-fold:regular criminally related calls,and non-criminal
in nature however these were members of a very unique and vulnerable population suffering not only physical,mental and emotional distress,they were
also suffering from hunger,poverty and food insecurity.These residents were the real victims in all of this as they were severely broken and staff set out to
do what no one else had the knowledge,skills,ability and passion,which was to extend the serving hand,commit to each and every resident in the
Magnolia area with information,direct services and referrals to empower them and give them the tools necessary to achieve a better quality of life. Today,
the challenge is greater because we have had to turn away clients in dire need of services because of the lack of staff,physical capacity and a safe
structure in which to conduct these direct services.We use to serve several hundred per month to just recently our numbers were insurmountable and not
doable because of lack of trained staff and an unsafe structure.Another great challenge that we fear is that without the staff,tools resources and location
we cannot tackle the services needed not do we not have additional professional,qualified,passionate and dedicated staff to take care of 1200 clients with
numbers rising per month.The needs raised are by children youth family,the elderly those members of vulnerable populations composed of homeless
individuals and families,pregnant women,frail adult and elderly persons,persons that are physically and mentally handicapped persons with other
disabilities that cannot come to our offices.We use to go out to their home and provide an intake of all the families need not just one person. We applied
the whole-family innovative direct service care and unfortunately we have come to a road with no way out.Our Center is located in the approved and
recognized NRSA,Targeted Zones and meets all of the HUD National Objectives under the HCDA Section 105(a)(8).
