For the past two years, the Coronavirus Pandemic has severely impacted the livelihood and subsistence of enterprises, large and small, worldwide. In Miami-Dade, countless businesses continue to struggle to meet the demands of a dynamic market. Under the leadership and commitment of Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and County Commissioner of District 2, Jean Monestime, a strategic vision has emerged to address the specific needs of small businesses while stimulating financial growth within the community.
On October 1, 2021, the Office of Management of Budget Grants Coordination (OMB) of Miami-Dade County awarded The Haitian American Chamber of Commerce of Florida, Inc (HACCOF) the sum of $600,000.00 to create and develop a business incubator to assist Miami-Dade entrepreneurs, start-ups, and scale up small businesses.
