REPORT TO ANALYZE CBO SERVICES FUNDING

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · report

This legislative item is a report analyzing Community-Based Organization (CBO) services funding in Miami-Dade County. It details the successes and challenges of a competitive grant application process (CBO2425) that received 518 applications requesting $124,631,734, but was ultimately cancelled due to FY 2025-26 budget constraints. The report also evaluates 117 legacy CBOs, assessing their geographic reach, service scope, potential duplication of services with County departments, service effectiveness based on performance metrics, and financial dependency on County funds. Approximately 93% of legacy CBOs receive less than 50% of their funding from County general funds. The report recommends continued advocacy for federal and state funding, exploration of alternative revenue streams, consideration of the broader funding mix, and establishment of funding priorities by category. No specific construction projects are detailed, but the analysis of CBO funding may inform future service delivery contracts.
