young and the elderly. The building has 76 individual
apartments, each with its own bath and kitchen. There
are 36 units set aside for the disabled and 15 units
designated for elderly residents. Rents are subsidized
to make them affordable by single individuals of low
or moderate income. Common areas include: a living/learning
center; a wellness/fitness room; a general purpose
meeting room; and an outdoor courtyard. Residents
have organized a resident council, publish a monthly
newsletter, and along with the Rivermont House staff

Homestead Transition to Affordable
Housing (TAH)
In operation since May 1997, this
project provides scattered transitional housing for
40 formerly homeless families. During an 18-month
transitional period they are required to contribute
30% of their income to operating expenses. After the
transitional period, the families take over the entire
financial responsibility for their apartment and continue
to live in the apartment they already occupy. In this
way, the support framework developed during the transition
period remains in place and the family avoids the
disruption of a move. During the transitional period
adult family members balance part-time work with vocational
training, which enables them to earn enough to support
their families by the end of the transitional period.

South Dade Transition to Home Ownership (THOP)
This program began accepting families
in September 1999, and while it is similar in nature to
the Homestead project, this program provides a two-year
transitional period at the end of which the families purchase
the scattered homes in which they are living. The costs
associated with the transitional period for 50 families
are fully funded by a grant of $2.5 million from the U.S.
HUD Supportive Housing Program.
Section 8 Mainstream Vouchers Program
HUD has granted Carrfour Supportive Housing
fifty (50) Section 8 Mainstream Vouchers for a five (5)
year period to help subsidize the housing cost for any homeless
person experiencing disabilities (mentally and physically).
