Miami-Dade County Community Homeless Plan is the blueprint for the local continuum of care. The Miami-Dade County community Homeless Plan developed goals for emergency, transitional and permanent, supported housing. A well-coordinated outreach process ensures easy access to housing and services. The innovative and coordinated continuum of care model has been recognized by U.S. HUD as a model and best practice, the Miami-Dade community was awarded a performance-based Model Cities Initiatives Grant (three-years, $15 million) in 1995.

The Trust has developed many relationships and established coordinated efforts with other funding sources to complement its goals. In particular, coordination has resulted in the ability to access HOME, CDBG, SAIL, SHIP, LIHTC, AHP and other funding sources.
