BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City of Miami Beach applies for various grants and funding allocations from external agencies and organizations. Information regarding the projects and funding sources is included in the Analysis section of this Agenda Item.
ANALYSIS
1. The Children’s Trust, Family Neighborhood Support Partnerships Grant Program, in the approximate amount of $500,000 for Family Pathways Program.
The Children’s Trust Family and Neighborhood Support Partnerships Program offers comprehensive and individualized support for children, youth, and families experiencing challenges that may limit them from realizing their full health, social, educational, and economic potential. The program aims to amplify strengths and build resilience to counter the effects of adverse childhood experiences such as child abuse or neglect, exposure to trauma and violence, family mental health issues, legal issues, and extreme poverty.
The City administration is accepting a grant renewal in the approximate amount of $500,000 for the City’s Family Pathways Program, which is a partnership between the City of Miami Beach and human services providers. No matching funds are required.
2. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, FY 2026 Urban Area Security Initiative Grant
Program (UASI), in the approximate amount of $282,000 for Gas Masks and Ballistic Helmets.
The UASI program enhances the security and resilience of high-risk urban areas by building, sustaining, and improving capabilities to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism. This goal focuses on enabling urban areas to address identified security gaps, increase interagency coordination, and strengthen critical infrastructure protection to reduce vulnerabilities in locations facing heightened risks.
The City administration is applying for a grant in the approximate amount of $282,000 for gas masks and ballistic helmets to support the Miami Beach Police Department (MBPD) against active threats. No matching funds are required.
3. Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) through U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant Countywide (JAGC), in the approximate amount of $11,500 for police technology equipment.
The JAGC program is subdivided between state shares and local shares. The local share is divided among Florida's 67 counties through a formula-based funding matrix. This funding is distributed with the goal of improving the criminal justice system.
The City administration is applying for a grant in the approximate amount of $11,500 for 25 red dot sights. This is police technology equipment that is mounted onto firearms, creating a single point of focus that increases shot accuracy. No matching funds are required.
