Our Mission
The mission of the Florida Coalition to End Homelessness is to work collaboratively to prevent and end homelessness in Florida through advocacy and education.
Homelessness in Florida
Recently, we’ve seen a rise in misleading narratives that blame individuals experiencing homelessness or criticize the organizations working tirelessly to end it. These harmful misconceptions not only stigmatize individuals experiencing homelessness but also divert attention from housing them. Punitive measures—such as criminalizing homelessness—may appear to offer quick results, but they are costly and ineffective. They do nothing to solve the core issue: an individual’s lack of housing. To better understand those who are experiencing homelessness, how the Homeless Continuum of Care system functions, and what effective solutions are available, we invite you to explore our fact sheet.
Join Us in Solving Homelessness
FCEH continues to demonstrate an unwavering commitment to ending homelessness by working with state and federal stakeholders to develop solution-driven practices. We believe that if everyone works together, we can solve homelessness in Florida. We are a small organization with just one staff member and a very active working board. We rely on members to provide their expertise so we can all find solutions, increase access to services, replicate best practices, and educate policy makers. If you are committed to ending homelessness in Florida, join us today.
