4 Targeted Population At-Risk-Youth Age Miami-Dade County Little Havana Homestead Definition: An at An at-risk youth is defined by statute as a child under the age of 18 who meets at least one of the following three requirements: Is absent from home for at least 72 consecutive hours without parental consent; or Is beyond parental control such that his/her behavior endangers the health, safety, or welfare of the child or any other person; or Has a substance abuse problem for which there are no pending criminal charges relating to the substance abuse.

5 Challenges - Micro Poor Math Literacy Writing and Reading Deficiencies Lack of Confidence Public Speaking Poor Organizational Skills Disciplinary Problems Short Attention Span Difficult to Motivate

6 Challenges Macro: Miami-Dade's Income Statistics Are Troubling Miami-Dade's i Dd' incomes are low and poverty is hih high. Miami Miami-Dade County's median household income is $35,966, far below the national median income of $41,994. The city of Miami's median household income is even lower at $23,483. Miami's middle class is small. While 20 percent of the nation's households make between $34,000 and $51,000, only 15 percent of Miami's households are in that income bracket. Blacks and Hispanics are less likely to be middle class than whites. In Miami- Dade County, the white median household income is at least $20,000 more than the black, Puerto Rican, Nicaraguan, an and Haitian median household income. Source: Brookings Institution

7 Challenges Macro: Several Factors Contribute to Miami's Small Middle Class The level l of educational attainment in the region is low. Only 22 percent of the county's adult population has at least a bachelor's degree. And only 16 percent of the city of Miami's adult population has at least a bachelor's. The regional economy is a low-wage wage economy. Most jobs in Miami Most jobs in Miami-Dade are in industry sectors, such as service and retail, paying lower wages. Additionally, wages, regardless of industry sector or occupation type, are lower in Miami-Dade than elsewhere. Miami-Dade is exporting middle-class residents. During the 1990s, almost 160,000 more people left Miami-Dade than moved in from other parts of the country, many moving to neighboring Broward County. While the group of Dade-to to-broward movers was racially diverse, they were primarily middle class. Source: Brookings Institution
