I am sorry to hear of your unfortunate circumstances and hope that our shelter can be of aid as you strive to return to self-sufficiency. Although we are not a provider of Section 8 housing, we may be able to offer you a temporary shelter as you seek more permanent housing.

I am including a description of our services for women with children below:

Our Center for Women and Families offers shelter for women, families, and single parents with children, but let me caution you by saying that our beds remain full most of the time. A client should call in advance to let our Intake Manager know of her position so she can make arrangements for them (number included below).

Once a family joins the case-managed program they will have full access to all of our services, including individualized case-management, educational and vocational training opportunities. We have a fully licensed daycare for children up to four years of age, and also provide a VPK program. Children that are old enough to attend school are enrolled in a nearby public school and attend Boys and Girls Club at the Coalition in the afternoons. Mental health counseling is available through Lakeside Behavioral Healthcare if needed, as well as our New Beginnings Child Development Program, which provides counseling for children and their families. The family will be assigned a case manager who will work to assist them in gaining either education or employment, as well as setting up a budget and savings account. By progressing through our case-managed plan they can possibly progress to our Scattered Site housing program, which aids individuals and families as they move back out into the community.

There is a small fee per night ($2 without income, $20/week if employment or income) but this provides shelter and a meal, in addition to our other services.

If you believe our programs can be of aid to your situation, please call Connie Dean (Intake Manager) at 407-872-5790 to check our availability and to make necessary arrangements. If there are any other questions I can answer, please let me know by emailing coalition@cflhomeless.org. You can also learn more about us by visiting www.centralfloridahomeless.org.
