A
Look At Carrfour’s Current ant Future Housing Programs
Projects operating and underway will provide 800 units
of affordable housing for approximately 1000 people. Ultimately,
Carrfour plans to develop at least 1,500 units of supportive
housing in Miami-Dade County. This represents approximately
50% of the unmet need for supportive housing units in this
area according to the Continuum of Care Needs Analysis generated
by a multi-agency survey effort in Miami-Dade County.
What is supportive housing?
It is a combination of affordable independent housing for
extremely low-income people and coordinated, comprehensive
service delivery system tailored to individual needs. Each
of these – housing and services – work best
in tandem.
What does supportive housing look like?
Carrfour residences look like any other type of permanent
housing. Tenants have their own dwellings, hold their own
leases and are responsible for meeting the terms of those
leases. Carrfour owns or leases entire buildings and also
utilizes scattered apartments and houses. Carrfour prides
itself on providing housing that not only fits the neighborhood,
but improves it.
