The problem

Instability rarely arrives alone.

Miami families and individuals can face several barriers at once—and one unmet need can make every next step harder.

Housing instability

Uncertain or unsafe housing can disrupt health, work, recovery and family life.

Health gaps

Limited access to medical care, behavioral health and wellness resources leaves needs unresolved.

Employment barriers

Job readiness, transportation, identification and training can stand between someone and steady work.

Reentry challenges

Returning from treatment, incarceration or homelessness requires coordinated support—not another disconnected referral.

HIV in our community

The need remains urgent in Miami-Dade.

2024 surveillance data
