The Metro-Miami Action Plan Trust is committed to addressing the socio-economic disparity of Miami-Dade County's Black community by advocating and coordinating initiatives and programs for the benefit of the community-at-large.

Prosperous neighborhoods are made of citizens that have equal access to the necessities that can assist them with changing their current condition and begin creating a better quality of life.

All citizens should have equal access to

• economic development funds,
• adequate education,
• fairness in the criminal justice system,
• availability of funds for business ventures and/or employment opportunities,
• affordable health care,
• decent housing, and
• the sensitivity of the public and private sectors to bring about the systemic change necessary to quell the illusion of inclusion.

Metro-Miami Action Plan Trust (MMAP) is providing part of the solution to mobilizing Miami-Dade's black community!

In July, Metro-Miami Action Plan Trust's Miami-Dade County Teen Court program hosted training sessions for middle and high school students.  This was a great opportunity for students who want to understand and/or purse a career in the criminal justice system. For more information on training sessions see the flyer.

MMAP's Homeownership Assistance Program (HAP), in collaboration with the Honorable Commissioner Audrey M. Edmonson, District 3, hosted the School Teachers Housing Initiative Ceremony on Saturday, May 31, 2008, at 10:30 a.m. at the home of the first family to take advantage of this home-purchasing program.
The kick-off ceremony took place at the home of the Janvier family, the first to purchase a home through the District 3 Teachers Initiative. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood within County District 2 represented by Commissioner Dorrin D. Rolle.
The District 3 Teachers Housing Initiative is a wonderful opportunity for teachers to be able to attain the dream of owning a home.  There are hopes to expand it to other Miami-Dade County Districts in order to make available this opportunity to many public school teachers.
