It feels like yesterday but it was 2018 when @POTUS HUD Secretary, Dr. Ben Carson, joined us to announce: the functional end of veteran homelessness in our community. That means when a veteran is ready for services & housing, our Continuum has a system in place to get them housed

Since then: ✅ 2,872 veterans have been housed with HUD-VASH vouchers through our partners at the Miami VA Homeless Programs. ✅ 1,729 veterans have been rapidly rehoused or prevented from becoming homeless through Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF) since 2022.

We’re proud of the progress—and more committed than ever to making veteran homelessness rare, brief, and nonrecurring.

Sometimes our job is to listen. It builds relationships. It builds trust. Over time, it can lead to something life-changing, like a ride to a shelter & a path toward stability...

Violence is an everyday reality for our unsheltered homeless - the streets are “terrifying."  Take it from someone who was there & is now housed at Mia Casa, the nation's 1st senior citizen’s bridge housing.  A bed isn’t just comfort—it’s security, dignity, & stability.
