Promote community-wide commitment to the goal of ending homelessness by facilitating the Continuum-of-Care process in Monroe County, Florida.
Monroe County Homeless Continuum of Care Inc. centers its grantmaking on the local HUD Continuum of Care process, where it solicits, ranks, and submits project applications for Monroe County service providers. That makes the foundation less a traditional grantmaker than a coordinating body for the county’s homelessness response, with funding tied to permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, shelter and housing services, and homelessness prevention. Recent awards show a clear emphasis on direct service organizations in the Florida Keys. Samuel's House Inc in Key West received $520,229 in 2024 and $216,313 in 2025, while Cornerstone Resource Alliance also in Key West received $279,010 in 2024 and $161,018 in 2025. Domestic Abuse Shelter Inc in Marathon Shores appears among the larger local recipients as well, indicating that the foundation supports a network of providers across Monroe County rather than a single site. Its work is shaped by the Continuum of Care framework, so grants connect to system coordination as much as to individual projects. The active programs describe annual project ranking, consolidated application submission, and local priority setting for HUD CoC funding on behalf of Monroe County providers serving people experiencing homelessness, including families, youth, veterans, and people with disabilities.
The strongest theme is homelessness services delivered through local providers. In 2024, Monroe County Homeless Continuum of Care Inc. gave $520,229 to Samuel's House Inc for homeless services, and in 2024 it gave $279,010 to Cornerstone Resource Alliance for the same purpose. Those awards point to operational support for agencies working directly with people experiencing homelessness. The foundation also backs providers serving multiple segments of the homeless population. Domestic Abuse Shelter Inc received $263,440 in 2024 for homeless services, while Keys Area Interdenominational Resources received $169,506 in 2023 for homeless services. The active program descriptions add that the CoC process includes permanent supportive housing, rapid rehousing, supportive services, and rehousing and homelessness prevention. Across the program taxonomy, the emphasis stays on emergency shelter operations, transitional and supportive housing, rapid rehousing, outreach and case management, and homelessness prevention.
