“Miami is home to extraordinary organizations and leaders working every day to help residents find stable housing, but the process is often harder and slower than it should be,” said Valeria Perez-Ferreiro, founding executive director of GreenLight Fund Miami , in the press release.

“Our investment in Housing Connector will bring a proven solution to accelerate and streamline the great work our nonprofits are doing — making it easier for case managers to connect people to available homes and for landlords to say yes,” Perez-Ferreiro said. “This investment brings us closer to a future where more Miami-Dade residents can quickly find not just housing, but the stability, dignity, and opportunity everyone deserves.”
