Miami-Dade's Continuum of Care provides bridge and transitional housing through Camillus House, Chapman Partnership, Lotus House, and Salvation Army. The Homeless Trust funds approximately 9,000 emergency, transitional, and rapid-rehousing beds annually using its food and beverage tax revenue.
Miami-Dade's Continuum of Care, coordinated by the Homeless Trust since 1993, is one of the largest in the United States. Bridge housing offers short-term beds for individuals exiting the streets while case managers arrange permanent supportive housing or rapid rehousing. Camillus House serves single adults; Chapman Partnership operates two campuses with family beds; Lotus House focuses on women and children. Length of stay typically ranges 30 to 180 days. Funding flows from the 1% food and beverage tax, HUD Continuum of Care grants, and county general revenue. The Trust reports point-in-time counts annually and has reduced unsheltered homelessness substantially since the 1990s.
Providers that violate HUD CoC contract terms face funding clawback; tenants who break shelter rules may be exited per program-specific procedures.
