- Youth Self-Sufficiency Program
We stabilize the lives of at-risk youth by providing on-campus living and holistic services for personal and professional development.

- Furnished 1 & 2 bedroom apartments
on a drug-free campus - Job coaching, paid internships,
and job placements - Financial literacy classes & budget counseling
- Emergency housing for LGBTQIA+ youth

- Neighborhood Revitalization
Since buying 2.3 acres of property in the Central City neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood, FL, we’ve been committed to revitalizing the areas through a series of initiatives.
SOME OF OUR MAJOR INITIATIVES HAVE INCLUDED
- Creation of the Central City Alliance of local businesses, civic associations, and residents
on a drug-free campus - Holding a series of festivals, walk-runs, celebrations, and other public events with the Alliance
- Implementing public art, safety, and beautification projects
- Rental Assistance
We provide individuals and businesses with more opportunities to thrive through tenant-based rental assistance and rapid rehousing on scattered sites within the Fort Lauderdale area. Because H.O.M.E.S. staff personally oversees the Rental Program, lease defaults are minimal, giving tenants a safe foundation to become more financially independent and knowledgeable.

Pathways Emergency
Landing Space Program
Offers emergency housing in a shared transitional apartment setting for young LGBTQIA+ youth, providing essential support such as job coaching, paid internships, financial literacy classes, and life coaching.

- Home Ownership
We remove socioeconomic barriers to homeownership by providing affordable housing opportunities to first-time buyers, qualified families, and individuals. Through our scattered site project, we buy single-family homes, rehab them in a quality manner, and re-sell them to buyers within our traditional income target ranges, at affordable prices.
- Health + Wellness: Outdoor Kitchen & Nutritional Learning Center
We offer the resources and opportunities to form healthier habits by aiding at-risk individuals who lack access and knowledge to nutrition and exercise. The combination of unique resources available on our own campus with both new and existing community partnerships offers a fun, interactive, inclusive way to move toward a healthier lifestyle.
