When eviction moves fast,
we move faster.
One missed paycheck. One emergency. That’s all it takes.
Miami Beach is in a housing crisis. Rents have skyrocketed, and hardworking families are being pushed out of their homes. A single unexpected bill can mean the difference between stability and displacement.
Sheltered Futures provides immediate financial assistance to stop eviction before it happens. When stability is at risk, there’s no time to wait.
About Sheltered Futures
Miami Beach is facing a housing crisis. Rents have surged, wages haven’t kept up, and too many families are just one financial setback away from losing their homes. Eviction doesn’t just displace people. It disrupts jobs, education, and entire communities. Sheltered Futures takes action before that happens. We provide fast, direct rental assistance to stop eviction in its tracks, with a simple, no-barrier process that ensures funds reach landlords within 14 days. By preventing eviction rather than responding to homelessness, we help keep families stable, kids in school, and Miami Beach a city where people can afford to live and work.
• Our Mission
• Our Vision
Eviction doesn’t just mean losing a home. It means lost jobs, school disruptions, financial instability, and the unraveling of entire communities. Sheltered Futures exists to stop this cycle before it starts. Our mission is to provide rapid, direct financial assistance to prevent eviction and keep Miami Beach residents in their homes.
We cut through red tape to deliver immediate relief when it matters most. Our approach is simple. Fast access, minimal barriers, and direct payments to landlords within 14 days. But our work goes beyond emergency assistance. We believe that housing stability is the foundation of a thriving city, and we support long-term solutions that protect families from future displacement. By preventing eviction, we’re not just helping individuals—we’re strengthening neighborhoods, businesses, and the future of Miami Beach.
We envision a Miami Beach where no resident loses their home due to a temporary financial setback, where eviction is the exception, not the norm. A city that values stability as the foundation for opportunity, where workers, families, and seniors can afford to live and thrive.
Our vision is bold, but it’s possible. Research shows that preventing eviction reduces homelessness, protects economic mobility, and strengthens communities. With rapid intervention, direct financial support, and a commitment to long-term solutions, we can build a future where housing security isn’t a privilege—it’s a given.
"Rising home prices are pushing would-be buyers out of the market, driving up demand for rentals. As demand increases, so do rent prices—making it even harder for low-income and extremely low-income renters to find stable, affordable housing."
— Dave Walsh, JP Morgan
How It Works
APPLY FOR ASSISTANCE
If you're at risk of eviction, the first step is to apply for help. Our quick and accessible application can be completed online or in person, with minimal paperwork required. We know that when you’re in crisis, time is critical—so we’ve eliminated unnecessary steps to get you assistance faster.
RAPID REVIEW & APPROVAL
Once you apply, our team reviews applications within 7 days to verify eligibility. We assess key factors such as income level, eviction status, and landlord cooperation to determine the best course of action. Unlike other programs that leave families waiting for weeks or months, we prioritize speed and efficiency so you get the support you need when it matters most.
DIRECT PAYMENT TO LANDLORDS
Once approved, funds are sent directly to your landlord within 14 days, stopping the eviction process before it escalates. This ensures that you stay in your home without accumulating more debt. By working directly with landlords, we cut through the red tape and prevent unnecessary delays that could lead to displacement.
ONGOING STABILITY SUPPORT
Eviction prevention is just the first step. To help ensure long-term stability, we connect families with financial planning resources, job training programs, and other essential support services. Our goal is not just to prevent eviction today but to empower individuals and families with the tools they need to remain housed in the future.
Ethical Standards
Immediacy
Eviction moves fast, and so do we. When someone is at risk of losing their home, there’s no time for long waitlists, endless paperwork, or bureaucratic hurdles. Our rapid-response model ensures that applications are reviewed within days and that funds are delivered directly to landlords within 14 days; because stability can’t wait.
Community
A strong Miami Beach is one where everyone has a place to call home. Housing instability doesn’t just affect individuals. It disrupts families, businesses, and entire neighborhoods. That’s why we take a holistic, community-focused approach, working with landlords, local organizations, and policymakers to create lasting solutions that keep people housed and strengthen the fabric of our city.
Compassion
We believe that needing help is not a failure—it’s a reality of life. No one should feel shame or judgment for experiencing financial hardship. At Sheltered Futures, we provide assistance without barriers or stigma, ensuring that every individual and family we serve is treated with respect, dignity, and the care they deserve.
How You Can Help
Housing security isn’t just about keeping a roof over someone’s head—it’s about protecting jobs, education, financial stability, and the future of our city. Preventing eviction is one of the most effective ways to reduce homelessness, ease the strain on public resources, and ensure that Miami Beach remains a place where people can live, work, and thrive.
Your support makes this possible. Every donation helps families stay in their homes, avoid financial devastation, and build a path toward long-term stability.
