Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-545-26, approving the Peace & Prosperity Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The plan allocates a total of $2,888,942.00 for violence prevention, intervention, and reentry projects. Funding includes $2,800,000.00 from the Anti-Gun Violence and Prosperity Initiatives Trust Fund, plus $88,942.00 in carryover funds from FY 2023-24 and FY 2024-25. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to expend these funds, select an organization to manage the Safe in the 305 Grants Program (up to $115,000.00), and select an entity to evaluate the plan (up to $50,000.00). The plan focuses on programs like Fit2Lead, MDSO Turn Around Police Academy (TAP), MDSO Youth Outreach Unit (YOU), and Youth Athletic Initiative (YAMI). The Safety and Health Committee amended the item to align with previous resolutions, striking retroactive language. The plan aims to reduce gun violence and foster economic prosperity, building on previous successes. The County experienced a 41 percent decrease in gun-related homicides in 2024 compared to 2020.
