You Can Help End Homelessness

Join us in ending homelessness in Miami-Dade County! You can change the lives of people experiencing homelessness by giving them a Homeless Trust Helpline Card. If you see someone who is or appears to be homeless, give them a card and ask them to call the Homeless Helpline at 1-877-994-HELP to help them access a wide array of housing and services, designed to help families and individuals get off the streets, and/or prevent homelessness, and get on the road to a better life.

Did you know that Miami-Dade County residents give millions of dollars to panhandlers each year? The fact is that not all who panhandle are homeless. Even if they are homeless, giving them money is not an effective means to help them. That's why we are deploying our Romero-Britto designed meters throughout Miami-Dade County. They are a safe, reliable and fully accountable means for you to help people who are homeless because 100% of the money collected in these meters is used directly to fund additional shelter beds, and expand the number of indoor meal programs for people experiencing homelessness. When you see one of our homeless donation meters, please consider giving your change to change a life.
