Palm Beach County is facing a growing homeless crisis, with the latest 2024 count identifying over 2,100 homeless individuals—an increase of 300 compared to last year. The Senator Philip D. Lewis Homeless Resource Center serves as the central point of entry for families and individuals in need of housing assistance throughout the county. Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc. manages the Family Division of the Homeless Resource Center, guiding more than 500 families with children each year. Through this division, families receive a range of supportive services, including initial assessments, housing placements, and comprehensive case management to connect them with the most critical resources. For assistance from the Homeless Resource Center, call (561) 904-7900. #KingdomCharitableTrust #KCT #HomelessnessAwarenessMonth #EndHomelessness #AdoptAFamily #LewisCenter #HousingandShelter #Philanthropy #Community

Every family seeking services at the Philip D. Lewis Homeless Resource Center starts by meeting with our Diversion Team. Our staff aims to help each family quickly end their episode of homelessness without emergency shelter or costly housing resources. To date in 2024, the team has supported 31 households as they regained housing by moving in with family/friends, relocating to a more affordable county, or accessing move-in assistance through a community partner. Families without a viable diversion solution were connected with shelter and/or housing resources to end their homeless episode.

A survey of our clients revealed that “stigma” surrounding mental health counseling was the most common reason for not seeking therapy in the past. Other prominent barriers included time, cost, and navigation of the mental health system.? By providing mental health therapy to clients on-site on our Lake Worth campus, Program REACH family shelter, and the Homeless Resource Center, we are removing obstacles to help make therapy more accessible and less stigmatized for the parents and children we serve. As of our last report, 63% of clients who attended 3+ sessions were attending voluntary therapy for the first time.

According to the National Low Income Housing Coalition’s 2024 “Out of Reach” report, a single parent needs to earn $42.81/hour to afford fair market rent in Palm Beach County, making it the second most expensive housing market in the state.? Our Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 (NSP2) provides 24 truly affordable rental units for low-income households who cannot keep up with the community’s exorbitant rental rates. With rent for the two- and three-bedroom units ranging from $700-$800, low-income families can comfortably manage their rent payment and all other household bills, which enables them to maintain long-term stability and pursue their goals.

Adopt-A-Family is incredibly fortunate for the partnership of Kingdom Charitable Trust. Grants awarded to two of our key programs, Project Grow and the Housing Stabilization Program, will impact hundreds of local families and children in need of a helping hand. Thank you to everyone at Kingdom Charitable Trust for your generous support of the families served by our agency. Your thoughtful philanthropy has strengthened our community.
Adopt-A-Family of the Palm Beaches, Inc. has been a cornerstone of support for homeless families in Palm Beach County since 1983, growing into the largest service provider in the region. A Kingdom Charitable Trust grant will support two critical initiatives: the Housing Stabilization Program and Project Grow. This grant will assist 135 families through the Housing Stabilization Program, which is designed to prevent homelessness for low-income families facing eviction due to a financial crisis. By providing short-term rental assistance along with strengths-based case management, budget counseling, and referrals to essential services, the program ensures families remain stably housed while they regain their financial footing and work toward self-sufficiency. Additionally 75 youth will be supported in Project Grow, an afterschool program that helps students overcome academic challenges, heal from emotional trauma, foster a love for learning, maintain consistent attendance, and set them on a positive path for the future. #KingdomCharitableTrust #KCT #AdoptAFamily #AdoptAFamilyPBC #PalmBeachCounty #Florida #Philanthropy #Community

We were grateful to have staff from Community Partners of South Florida on-site at Program REACH’s Back to School Bash on August 8 to provide parents with information on their wide range of health, housing, and parenting services. Our partnership with Community Partners extends to participants of our Housing Stabilization Program and Service Enriched Housing programs as well - clients are frequently linked to their excellent financial capability and homeownership courses.
