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 and 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 od deterioration and disrepair. The roof that is 60 years old, caving in,water leaks and in addition 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 anymore 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 will allow these children, youth and families to have services that will not only empower them but
lead them to sustainability.
2. Proposed Activity:
Provide a brief description of the proposed activity, including who will carry it out, how low-to-moderate income persons will
be served, and the location of the activity. Include the estimated number of clients benefiting from the activity and other
measurable outcomes,if applicable.
For facility improvement or construction activities,please provide a scope of work for each county-owned facility and describe
the type of work to be performed(specify if it is new construction or facility improvements), the location of the site, and who
the facility will serve.
Revised 9/1/10 Page 1 of 2
ATTACHMENT A
We propose to perform interior demolition,ADA Compliance, put in ADA Compliant Bathrooms, a new roof that is caving in and
additional work as needed. This"good will" project will be spearheaded by City Engineer and Director of Capital Improvement
Projects Airia Austin under the direction of City Manager Newall J. Daughtrey and his CIP Team consisting of: A Florida
Certified Professional Engineer Arshad Viqar, Civil, Mechanical and Environmental Engineer Bala Somasundaram, Project
Manager and Planner-Designer Carlos Gonzalez, Project Compliance and Grant Administrator, Yesly Guillen. We propose to
implement the initial renovation and repair program on the first and second floor in order to stabilize and prevent further
building degradation. This phase of the work is limited to interior renovation to include ADA elevator compliance,ADA building
access and general areas compliance, flooring replacement, lighting upgrade and interior painting. The overarching goal of
renovating the two-story building once it is demolished and renovated; it will be able to house additional staff to provide
services and additional space to provide added services only unique to our population. Opa-locka Community Care and
Resource Center(OCCRC)is located in the middle of the City serving a City-Wide population and has a long history in the City
before it became CET and the needs that it fulfilled. The building does not have the proper bathrooms, exit lights, in essence
total interior gutting and demolition is required in both the first and second floor.
3. Service Area/Address:
Describe the area to be served by the activity or provide the site address.
History of Building and Services
The Opa-locka Community Care and Resource Center located at 2105 Ali Baba 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 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).
