PEACE AND PROSPERITY PLAN FY 25-26

Safety and Health Committee · 2026-04-13 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering the 'Peace and Prosperity Plan' for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The plan aims to prevent and intervene in violence, with a focus on youth. It involves allocating $2,888,942.00 from the Anti-Gun Violence and Prosperity Initiatives Trust Fund, including carryover funds. The plan authorizes the County Mayor or designee to expend funds, select an organization to manage the 'Safe in the 305 Grants Program' (up to $115,000), and select an entity to evaluate the plan (up to $50,000). It also allows for applying for additional grant funds up to $1,000,000. The plan retroactively authorizes equitable allocation of Fit2Lead program slots based on firearm homicide data, juvenile arrests, and civil citations. The Safety and Health Committee deferred the item twice before it was amended. The plan's funding is derived from Kaseya Center naming rights revenue. Previous initiatives under this plan have included the Fit2Lead internship program, the MDSO Turn Around Police Academy (TAP), the MDSO Youth Outreach Unit (YOU) and Youth Athletic and Mentoring Initiative (YAMI), and the Safe in the 305 Grants Program. The plan aims to leverage data-driven analytics for violence prevention and intervention.
