SERVING NORTHEAST FLORIDA HOMELESS:Restoring dignity - bridging the gap - providing hope
Water is life.
Warm water freely flowing from the shower above. Sudsing up. Rinsing the dirt and sweat away. Wrapping in a fresh towel. Breathing in new perspective. Sliding into clean clothes. Ready to face the day. This simple act is a daily ritual for most. But not all. There are people - someone's father, mother, son, daughter - homeless and unable to feel this basic need of every human being.
Homelessness destabilizes the lives of our neighbors. Be it job loss, divorce, death, illness, family rejection, violence, and other crises. There are many ways one could experience homelessness, or be at-risk of it, and some people are simply a paycheck away from it.
Consider for the year 2019, from the most recent PIT (Point In Time) survey conducted by our partners at Changing Homelessness: It is estimated that just over 1600 individuals experience homelessness in Duval County at a given time. Of these, 18% are chronic homeless, 7% are veterans, 17% are families with children, 7% are young adults, and 51% all other people.
