In its most recently completed fiscal year, the Trust had a budget of about $40 million, with $12 million derived from the FBT, $20 million from HUD, and the balance from state and private resources.
What are the outcomes of the Homeless Trust's initiatives?
The outcomes of the Homeless Trust's initiatives in Miami include:
- Reduction in street homelessness from roughly 8,000 to 1,347.
- Increase in housing units: 769 emergency beds, 1,815 transitional beds, and 2,072 permanent supportive housing beds.
- Development of Homeless Assistance Centers (HACs) providing emergency shelter, assessment, intensive case management, and co-located mainstream services, with over 70,000 people having used these services.
- Expansion of permanent supportive housing (PSH) with a plan to create and complete 100 new PSH units each year.
- Comprehensive jail diversion programs that have significantly decreased the number of homeless individuals with serious mental illnesses in jail, reduced misdemeanor recidivism among people with psychiatric disabilities from 70 percent to 20 percent, and allowed Miami to close an entire wing of its jail.
These initiatives have been supported by a combination of funding sources, including the food and beverage tax, HUD grants, state funding, and private resources.
