Miami is facing a housing crisis. Rents have surged 66% above the national average, while wages remain stagnant, leaving many families one setback away from eviction. With only 22 affordable units for every 100 low-income households, and over 80% of renters severely cost-burdened, the need for rapid relief is urgent.

​

Founded in 2025 after Miami’s Emergency Rental Assistance program closed, Sheltered Futures is now the city’s only ERA program. They provide fast, direct rental assistance to stop eviction using a simple, no-barrier process that delivers funds to landlords within 14 days. By focusing on prevention over recovery, they help keep families stable, children in school, and communities strong.
