REPORT TO ANALYZE CBO SERVICES FUNDING

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

This document 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) which 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, effectiveness based on performance metrics, and financial dependency on County funds. Key findings indicate that 109 organizations (93%) receive less than 50% of their funding from County general funds, with 78 (67%) receiving less than 10%. The report recommends continued advocacy for funding, exploration of alternative revenue streams, consideration of the broader funding mix, and establishment of funding priorities. It also notes limited duplication of officers/staff among CBOs, with 17 individuals serving on multiple boards.
