As South Florida’s homeless rate continues to climb, more and more people find themselves facing the harsh reality of living on the streets of Broward County. A lost job, death of a partner, major health issue or other sudden misfortune can take a family or individual from a relatively normal life to a fight for survival.

At HOPE South Florida, we put lasting independence within reach. We are a faith-based organization that offers a holistic response to homelessness with a focus on rapid re-housing. Here, the homeless and hurting find a continuum of care that builds steady progress through emergency shelter, daycare referral, free meals, employment assistance and other services designed to transform lives and make a return to permanent housing a hope fulfilled.

Women. Children. Families. Veterans. For many experiencing homelessness, HOPE South Florida is the lifeline that leads them from crisis to recovery. With the generous support of donors and volunteers, we make their road home a safer and shorter journey.

The City has entered into an agreement with HOPE South Florida to provide Eviction Prevention, Rental and Utility Assistance for Hollywood residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Funding is provided by State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Funds. To learn more about the program and application window, please visit: hollywoodfl.org/rentassistance
