The Miami Coalition for the Homeless was organized in 1987 to promote community efforts to prevent and end homelessness in South Florida by establishing alliances with agencies and organizations. The Coalition is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a volunteer Board of Directors comprised of community leaders who have demonstrated a strong commitment to eliminating homelessness.
The Coalition was instrumental in the creation of the Homeless Providers Forum, the Miami Supportive Housing Corporation, and is a founding member of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust. The Coalition has also funded several community prevention efforts such as a Homeless Prevention Coordinator through the Homeless Trust, and has sponsored numerous conferences and educational efforts that target the issues related to homelessness.
The Coalition concentrates its efforts in three main areas:
 |
Advocating for the rights of the homeless population; |
|
Coordinating available resources so as to maximize utilization and promote efficiency; |
|
Developing and supporting prevention initiatives on the local, state
and federal levels |
