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.

Who is eligible?
Individuals who meet the following criteria are welcome to complete an application and be placed on our waiting list:

Tenants must be able to live independently and harmoniously in this setting, participating in the supportive services offered. Applicants must be over 18 years of age and:

Qualify as homeless under the U.S. HUD definition;
