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) that received 518 applications totaling $124,631,734 but was ultimately cancelled due to budget constraints. The report also evaluates 117 legacy CBOs, assessing their geographic reach, service scope, potential duplication with County services, effectiveness based on performance metrics, and financial dependency on County funds. The analysis indicates that 109 organizations receive less than 50% of their funding from County general funds, with 78 receiving less than 10%. No direct duplication of officers or staff among CBOs was found, though 17 individuals serve on multiple CBO boards. 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.
