Permanent affordable housing and supportive services for the homeless.
Providence Place
Location: Melbourne, FL
Providence Place will create 120 units of Permanent Supportive Housing and reduce Melbourne’s long-term unsheltered homeless population by 50%. It will also create 36 units of Interim Housing to serve unsheltered households who are transitionally homeless, require recuperative care following hospitalization and would otherwise be discharged to the street.
