Project goals are to: <ul> <li>Increase community perception of safety</li> <li>Reduce criminal activity while increasing community ownership</li> <li>Encourage collaboration between community providers, government agencies, including police and residents</li> </ul> Miami-Dade County has received two grant awards for this initiative. The first FY 2014 CBCR Grant award brought innovative crime reduction best practices to the Northside District: Liberty City. Various community partners have joined with MDPD to sustain these efforts. The current FY 2018 CBCR Grant award is approved to serve a comprised area within the Goulds neighborhood. Appropriate modifications to our first model were made to fit the needs of the Gould neighborhood by bringing resources exclusively available to the residents from the project area while following COVID-19 restrictions and social distancing practices. Some of the innovative services available are Youth and Neighborhood virtual workshops and online registration to secure a box of food during our Monthly Free Food Drive-Thru Distributions at Goulds Park.
