Our S.O.S. program is a partnership with the Brevard Homeless Coalition Inc. (more info here) that started as a pilot program in 2017 has now grown to include two locations. It's designed to reduce the family trauma caused by sudden homelessness by providing a stable place to regroup and move forward.
These apartments are meant for a short, intensive stay during which the family will work very closely with our case manager, develop both short and long term goals to address issues that have lead to the homelessness, and assess what personal and community resources they have available. At the end of their stay, we hope that they will be in the position to regain housing or will have establish a plan to do so as soon as possible.
There are two locations for this program: one in Melbourne and one in Titusville.
Families must be referred by 2-1-1.
