You will always have happiness if you seek and find how to serve.” - Albert Schweitzer

Approximately 8,000 people on the streets* Homeless encampments throughout urban core  Effect of “Pottinger v City of Miami” Lawsuit  Creation of “safe zones”  Need for alternatives to homelessness Fewer than 1,000 beds available *using duplicator model HOMELESSNESS 20 YEARS AGO

No meaningful funding No defined leadership/Limited-to-No involvement by the private sector/business community No identified plan to address the increasing problem  Loose-knit collection of social service agencies and faith-based organizations serving the homeless  Little to no coordination among the system of services

What resources exist to help the homeless today? F & B Tax Approved by the State Legislature in 1992  1 st dedicated source of funding for homelessness in the country  85% for homeless;15% for domestic violence  Collected at all restaurants in Miami-Dade County* that have >$400k in sales and a liquor license NO AD VALOREM TAX SUPPORT *except Miami Beach, Surfside, Bal Harbour

Other  USHUD  Leverages the F & B 2:1  Homeless Trust the “Lead Agency” for the Miami-Dade County Continuum of Care  State of Florida  Private Sector

How is funding allocated? Competitive Process  Advertised in newspapers, Homeless Trust website Tied to identified needs in the continuum  Example: permanent supportive housing Must be a 501(c) 3 at time of application

Homeless Trust is not a service provider Funds 30+ agencies;100+ programs  Monitors for compliance  Ensures continuum meeting expected outcomes  Tracks homelessness data Develops, through a community process, performance measure for the CoC Develops, through a community process, Standards of Care for the continuum

How are we addressing homelessness? Community Homeless Plan 10 Year Plan  Plan was required in order to levy tax  Approved in 1992  Dynamic plan; addresses changing needs/goals  Implementation includes and requires diverse representation and participation ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS TODAY Plan

“Close the Front Door” Reduce the number of people who become homeless “Open the Back Door” Rapidly place homeless people back into housing “Build the Infrastructure” Increase the supply of affordable housing, access to services, as well as people’s incomes.
