Created from the 1983 Metro-Miami Action Plan (MMAP) as a response to socioeconomic disparities, MDEAT’s mission addresses critical gaps in education, economic development, housing, and employment opportunities.

</p> <p>Following the riots that erupted in 1980 after officers were acquitted for the death of Arthur McDuffie, the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County collaborated to create Metro-Miami Action Plan (MMAP) in 1983 as a solution to socioeconomic disparities in employment, economic development, education, housing, health and human services and criminal justice.
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’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> <li><a href="https://www. miamidade.
