Help The Homeless | Favela Miami
Our Mission at Favela Miami
When someone becomes homeless, it takes only three weeks of living on the streets for an individual to begin losing their sense of rational thinking and self-respect. Once labeled “homeless,” they often become invisible to society. At Favela Miami, we strive to ensure that the community sees and respects its homeless population, helping to restore their confidence and lift their spirits. Our mission is to provide resources that help individuals transition out of homelessness by meeting their basic needs, offering job training and employment support, and encouraging them to rejoin society. We aim to inspire hope and a vision for a better future, with permanent housing as the ultimate goal.

It’s not that simple…
Homelessness creates significant barriers to employment that go beyond just a lack of housing. Many homeless individuals face challenges such as limited access to reliable transportation, insufficient job training, and difficulty obtaining clean clothes and basic hygiene. Without a stable address or the ability to meet daily needs, it becomes nearly impossible for them to present themselves as job-ready, despite their willingness and capability to work.
Favela Miami is dedicated to helping overcome these barriers by providing essential resources, training, and support, giving individuals a fair chance to rebuild their lives through meaningful employment.
