This month we served 318 people experiencing homelessness (including 69 children). Of those, we were able to provide "positive housing destinations" for 202. Among them, 118 went to shelters, 41 were able to rent a home (several in our houses and all with our help), 39 moved in with friends/family, and a total of 28 went to other cities where someone was waiting for them. Only 3 accepted to go to rehab. In the last 12 months, the total number served rises to 2,000 homeless individuals, with 1,805 securing a place to live! It's incredible how the numbers grow. Of the total we helped this year, 404 were children. Finally, since May 2021, when we started with the homeless trust, we have assisted 4,043 people, helping 3,708 find a place to live. We currently have 218 people under our housing programs: 162 in 22 houses and 56 in hotels. In the Veterans program, we are serving an additional 239 people with homeless prevention and rapid rehousing. It's a lot of people! The month was quite busy; we opened two houses thanks to a grant from the DDA (kudos to genius Manolo Reyes!). San Ernesto is already full, and Santa Cabrini (you have to see the movie!) is starting in November. With the hurricane agenda, we placed 63 people in shelters. We fully engaged in the campaign for life, organizing a rally that turned out amazing. Genius Eduardo Verastegui and everyone who participated touched our hearts, and now we can't stay silent. We are going all out for life. We had three births at the Maternity House, and with the baby born yesterday, we now have 5 newborns! A true blessing, and as soon as we fill the house, we will open another one. Our message is that if you are pregnant, we will help you. We fight for both lives. Abortion must be unthinkable, and we will achieve this. We are here to defend the dignity of people from conception until death. Without any exceptions. No one is worth less. Everyone counts. It is Jesus himself who awaits us among those who have the least. We will find him! Let's go, we can do it! ❤️💪❤️💪

This month, we served 235 people, of whom 143 went to positive housing destinations (75 to shelters, 1 to rehab, 4 to temporary housing, and 63 to permanent housing). The rest, we are still working with! Over the last 12 months, the total served has reached 1,947, with 1,757 success stories (800 to shelters, 18 to rehabs, 58 in temporary housing, and 881 to permanent housing). Our historical record adds up to 3,882 served and 3,556 success stories since May 1, 2021, when we started working with the Homeless Trust. The most beautiful part of the month was the baptisms of 15 brothers and sisters at Corpus Christi, which gives meaning to what we do every day. Seeing the face of Christ in the most needy! We continue renting houses, and today we received San Ernesto, which will soon have 9 tenants! Also, the DDA gave us a grant to strengthen the work we do downtown. This month, DeSantis' new law banning street camps begins, and everyone is worried about what will happen with the homeless. For us, it's a great opportunity to solve the problem once and for all. There are resources and a willingness for change. What’s missing is bringing the public and private sectors together to create the units needed to house people. There are fewer than 1,000 homeless people left in all of Miami-Dade and 600 in the city. If we organize, we can achieve this! We are looking for houses, multifamily units, and even a church to rent if anyone has something available. At the family hotel, we have 58 people, and it would be great to form teams to visit and make the stay more pleasant, especially for the children. Let's do this! ❤️ 💪 ❤️

During the month, we served 243 people, of whom 138 had positive housing outcomes. Of these, we placed 58 in shelters, 38 were relocations (either for work in other areas or family reunifications), 3 went to rehabilitation centers (it’s so hard to get them to say yes!), and the rest to our homes or their own apartments with government programs. We still have many families in hotels... there are 50 people... If anyone feels moved to help, it would be greatly appreciated to organize a visit, plan a breakfast, etc. (call Deasy to arrange at +1 (786) 694-0010). We offer community service hours! The big news of the month was... 1. First, the sad news: this month, three brothers who lived in our homes passed away. May God hold them in His glory! Let's say a prayer for Ernesto Romero, René Felipe, and Henry Losada. It's part of life, and despite the sadness, we were fortunate to walk with them and give them dignity. (Today we will hold a mass for them at St. Agnes at 7 pm). 2. The first baby was born in the pregnant women's home. Little Allan. A chubby divine baby and a great joy. 3. We had a visit from Father Angel, who stayed for a month, giving us advice and living in one of the houses he opened, "San Wilfredo." A truly great man 👏 👏 👏 👏 4. The city of Hialeah hired us to do outreach on the streets. This is a nice growth opportunity, so we’re going to knock on the doors of all the churches and places that help the homeless there to introduce ourselves. If anyone is attending a service in Hialeah, please let us know! 5. The DDA (Downtown Development Authority) approved a grant for us to open another house (we’re up to 22!) and continue serving the homeless in their area. 6. Regarding the houses, the follow-up with people is becoming more demanding as there are more and more! If anyone wants to help with a program of visits to the houses, you are more than welcome! You can call Leticia at +1 (305) 319-1238 to offer your help. 7. The houses generate a deficit, so any monetary help is also very welcome! The residents contribute to the rent, but the Foundation subsidizes a portion along with all the utility expenses, Wi-Fi, insurance, etc. Recurring donations greatly help us provide stability to the Shared Houses program, for which we DO NOT have government assistance. What’s coming up… On October 1st, a law by DeSantis comes into effect that no one can sleep on the streets anymore. The city is moving quickly to figure out how to manage this. It's complicated because there are no spaces in the shelters and rent prices remain high. We’re also being sent people from neighboring cities. But we will do something. Our houses are a good solution, so the idea is to keep growing. Beyond the rush, it's good that the time has come to solve this. And we will succeed. Let's do this!
