Facts About The Homeless

In 2010, the total number of homeless people in Florida is 58,687, up by approximately 1% from the 2009 count. The local homeless coalitions expect the number of homeless to increase based on demands for services and other housing and economic trends,
including (from Florida Department of Children and Families):

The downturn in the national economy
Miami is the #2 UN-Churched city in America
Florida’s growing number of filings for foreclosure
Increasing numbers of applicants for cash assistance, food stamps, and
other benefits
Rise in demand for local food and feeding programs
Declining revenues for local and state government human services and
housing programs
