CHARITY: Where Hope Lives

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Please considering donating unused clothes, shoes, pots, pans, computers and other house hold items to the Community Partnership for the Homeless. Community Partnership is an organization dear to my heart. During my last visit I noticed a young teenage girl wearing a blouse from a bag of woman's clothing I donated the day before. It was heartwarming to see that blouse go directly to a young girl in need. It looked great and fit her perfectly. Thanks to supporters like you and I there is hope for those in need in our community.

ABOUT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP:

Help the homeless in Miami.



Community Partnership for Homeless, is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation, governed by a Board of Directors. The current Chairman is Robert E. Chisholm and the Founding Chairman is Alvah H. Chapman, Jr. Our mission is to operate two Homeless Assistance Centers and to raise the private funding necessary to assist in the implementation of the Miami-Dade County Community Homeless Plan. Community Partnership for Homeless is further committed to assisting the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust in this implementation through encouraging private sector involvement.

Community Partnership for Homeless grew out of the grave concern local citizens and politicians had about the growing problem of homelessness. The late Governor Lawton Chiles appointed a blue-ribbon panel (“Governor’s Commission on Homeless”) to address this issue. The Governor’s Commission on Homeless in 1992 and 1993 developed a strategic plan to serve the homeless. This plan called for a joint public–private sector partnership to respond to the growing problem of homelessness within Miami-Dade County. Community Partnership for Homeless serves as the private sector partner and the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust is the public partner.

The capital and operational needs of Community Partnership for Homeless are funded largely by the one percent sales tax on food and beverages at certain restaurants in Miami-Dade County. Charitable foundations, corporations, and individuals provide the remainder of the financial needs of Community Partnership for Homeless.

Currently, Community Partnership for Homeless operates two Homeless Assistance Centers – The Chapman Center in downtown Miami and the South Miami-Dade Center in Homestead.

The accomplishments of Community Partnership for Homeless have been exceptional. Since opening our doors in 1995, 61.82% of our former residents have successfully moved off the streets of Miami-Dade and on their way to attaining greater stability and self-sufficiency. Clearly, the greatest accomplishment, however, is the difference being made in the lives of the homeless from within our community.
