South Miami, Florida

Hometown Plan fosters the revitalization of South Miami, Florida's downtown district. Through citizen participation, the Plan ensures a small-town feel is maintained while improving the city's center. The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency is focused on a blighted area that has experienced a general decline in property values. The Agency strives to accomplish redevelopment and battle this decline by assertively identifying over 35 specific redevelopment programs for both the private and public sectors. The Prevention through Academic and Recreational Excellence program was established by the Parks and Recreation Department as an after school program to give school-age children homework assistance, counseling, athletic training, and contact with a cultural element (drama, art, dance, and music).
