In 1992, MMAP was further empowered by becoming a trust, and in September 2009 it was reorganized into MDEAT by ordinance 09-70.</p> <p>Since its inception, MDEAT&rsquo;s focus has been on addressing socioeconomic disparities within the community. MDEAT does so by focusing on the individual (i.e., youth and individual family member support), building neighborhoods through the expansion of homeownership, and supporting the foundation of strong businesses and economic development via job creation, entrepreneurship, business retention, and expansion. These three gears - family, neighborhood, and business - work together to connect the community to resources, funding, and programming that together create whole communities.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.miamidade.gov/global/government/boards/economic-advocacy-trust.page">Board Members</a></li> <li><a href="/global/navigation/prindex.page?ORGANIZATIONNAME=Economic%20Advocacy%20Trust" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read press releases</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.miamidade.gov/global/government/trusts/economicadvocacy/targeted-urban-areas.page">Maps throughout Miami-Dade County</a></li> </ul> /resources/images/banners/mdeat-banner.jpg other Executive Director William "Bill" Diggs William%20%22Bill%22%20Diggs /global/government/biographies/economic-advocacy-trust.page Overtown Transit Village South - 601 NW 1st Court [loc1496409739736747] : Miami ^ 33136 loc1496409739736747 Suite 2132 305-375-5661 305-375-5651 /global/government/trusts/economicadvocacy/home.page facebook instagram economic-advocacy-trust org1477078752386373 loc1496409739736747 Overtown Transit Village South 601 NW 1st Court Suite 2132 Miami 33136 305-375-5661 305-375-5651 /global/government/trusts/economicadvocacy/home.page facebook,instagram https://www.facebook.com/MDEATInfo,https://www.instagram.com/mdeatinfo Executive Director
