PEACE & PROSPERITY PLAN

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted the Peace & Prosperity Plan for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The plan allocates a total of $2,888,942 for violence prevention, intervention, and reentry projects. Funding includes $2,800,000 from the Anti-Gun Violence and Prosperity Initiatives Trust Fund, plus $88,942 in carryover funds from previous fiscal years. The plan authorizes the County Mayor or designee to select organizations for managing sub-grants for the Safe in the 305 Grants Program (up to $115,000) and to select an entity for an independent evaluation of the plan (up to $50,000). The plan focuses on youth programs like Fit2Lead, MDSO Turn Around Police Academy (TAP), MDSO Youth Outreach Unit (YOU), and Youth Athletic Initiative (YAMI). The Safe in the 305 Grants Program will fund community-led projects. The resolution waives requirements of Resolution No. R-130-06. The plan aims to reduce gun violence and foster economic prosperity, building on previous successful initiatives. The County experienced a 41 percent decrease in gun-related homicides in 2024 compared to 2020.
