        Message from our CEO


        As we continue to feel the effects of the pandemic, the need for stable housing for those that are poor and homeless has never been greater.

        The world began to shut down in mid-March 2020, but the work of SVdP CARES has increased beyond belief. Our doors remained open with an amazing team across 19 counties in Florida that have been on the front lines of homelessness every day. See how we are ending homelessness one precious household at a time.

        Every day, many of our neighbors face the same situation that Joseph and Mary did so long ago.
        Like Shanta, Barry, and their newborn baby…

        Why we do the work we do.

        “It is knowing that we are able to bring the security of a home to those we serve that keeps me going even when I’m exhausted. It is why I love my job, no matter how hard it gets.”

        Teresa

        SVdP CARES Housing Specialist

        “Helping out the veterans who are homeless. Delivering their beds. They are very happy when we deliver and put up the beds for them. It means they have a safe place to sleep, a roof over their head, and Matt and I love doing it.” 

        Kevin

        Community Thrift Store Truck Driver

        “We’re in the business of caring for people…it’s in our name, ‘CARES.’ People in shelters can be the forgotten population… but here, they’re not forgotten anymore. I can look at everyone out there and know their story because I get to know them, even if I’m not physically working with them.”

        Leota

        Operations Manager
