Volunteer in the New Year
Let our unhoused neighbors know they count by volunteering for the 2025 Point in Time Count on January 23.
As a volunteer, you will visit known homeless encampments with a team, interview unhoused individuals, and distribute incentive bags with supplies to thank participants for their time. It’s important that you can walk one to five miles and are okay working in cold, outdoor conditions.
Volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. Free training provided. Click here or visit our website to sign up by December 12.

My heart is full of gratitude for everyone who made the @HermanosCalleUS inaugural Mayor’s Ball possible. My commitment is to help make @CityofMiami the first major U.S. city to reach #functionalzero for chronic homelessness.

These are the people on our team who are directly working to secure housing for the homeless and provide impactful wrap around services. Just this year, they’ve worked with our community partners to house 23 people experiencing chronic homelessness, the most damaging category.

‼️ Why do we need a definition for solving homelessness? @BuiltforZero use #functionalzero because communities need a definition for solving homelessness that is clear, measurable, and can be tracked over time. #HomelessnessIsSolvable
