Reber-Mens for Miami Homes For All

Rising housing costs have made Miami-Dade unaffordable for the people who keep it running: our teachers, healthcare workers, service staff, and older adults. 

Miami-Dade has a gap of more than 118,000 rental homes affordable to households earning up to about $75,000 a year.  However, this is a solvable issue. Miami Homes For All has made crucial strides in recent years, bringing people, resources, and ideas together to make a difference.

Our goals are simple: increase the supply of affordable housing and make it accessible to all. To get there, we work across the housing landscape - from helping residents find homes and supporting community-rooted developers to advocating for better housing policies, conducting research, and empowering young people with lived experience of homelessness.

These efforts are interconnected because housing doesn't exist in a silo. It takes homes, thoughtful policies, informed residents, and strong partnerships to create lasting solutions.

Here's what we're building together in 2026:

Helping more people find a place to call home

Through Housing 305, we connect landlords and service providers to help youth, families, and individuals move from shelters into permanent affordable homes. We also work to prevent housing instability and strengthen the network of organizations supporting our neighbors.

This year, Housing 305 has:

• Helped 365 individuals across 154 households move from shelter into permanent, affordable housing, including 63 families, 5 youth, and 31 seniors.

• Built a network of 226 landlords and property operators and more than 25 service providers working together across Miami-Dade.

• Supported 1175 individuals in accessing coordinated care through referrals, among them include:

  • 599 residents supported with deposit assistance

  • 316 eviction preventions

  • 97 employment referrals

• Invested in the next generation of leaders through a leadership development program for eight young people who have experienced homelessness.

• Hosted workshops to help housing and service providers better support the people who depend on them.

Creating more affordable homes in our neighborhoods

Through our Small-Scale Affordable Development Alliance (SSADA), we help community-rooted developers and property owners navigate the process of building and preserving housing that makes sense for Miami's neighborhoods.

This year, we have:

• Advanced support for 21 property owners across 30 affordable housing developments, representing 462 new or preserved homes.

• Brought together 120 emerging developers and property owners for our first Emerging Developer Conference, connecting them with practical guidance, resources, and partners to help bring their housing ideas to life.

• Helped move financing forward for Triumph House, a transitional home for young people aging out of foster care, which broke ground this year.

Shaping policies and bringing people together

Creating more affordable housing also means improving the policies and partnerships that make it possible. We advocate for housing policies that can help Miami-Dade build affordable homes faster and across more communities.

We also bring public, private, and philanthropic investors together through the Greater Miami Housing Funders Collaborative to coordinate funding and help promising affordable housing developments move forward. This year, the Collaborative closed its first deal, supporting Triumph House and helping turn an important housing opportunity into reality.
