Pathlight HOME Pathlight HOME is ending homelessness in Central Florida through housing, supportive services, and employment assistance. Starting a Facebook fundraiser?

Search for Grand Avenue Economic Community (GAEC) as the charitable organization. Pathlight HOME changes the lives of homeless and low income Floridians by providing affordable housing and economic opportunities. Now in our 25th year, we are Central Florida’s first and largest provider of permanent supportive housing for homeless men, women and families. Originally incorporated as Grand Avenue Economic Development Corporation, we have helped more than 5,000 of our homeless neighbors through our “housing first” philosophy. Today, more than 600 residents receive safe, dignified housing and the supportive services of a team of social workers to help them stay housed. Pathlight HOME also operates two social enterprises, Pathlight Kitchen and Sobik’s Café. These enterprises create an opportunity for low-income community members to learn culinary skill sets, enabling them to overcome barriers to employment and earn higher wages.

What role can businesses play in addressing homelessness?

In Episode 11, Carl and Danny discuss why businesses, nonprofits, government, and community partners need to work together to create meaningful pathways out of homelessness. Because ending homelessness isn’t one person’s job—it takes all of us. 💜

When our outreach specialist team found Christina F., her car was what she called home.

As an individual facing homelessness over the age of 50, we enrolled her in our Three Bridges program, which provided her with immediate, emergency housing.

“It was really hard without a roof, but Pathlight opened the door, and I’m really grateful for this program,” Christina shared.

Since being moved into housing, Christina is relieved to have a roof over her head, food around the corner, and real support. 🏠💜

New episode of the Pathlight's HOME Team Podcast ! 🎙️🏈

This week, Carl and Danny tackle a complicated and often controversial topic: panhandling.

Should panhandling be legal everywhere? What’s the difference between passive and aggressive panhandling? And is giving money directly the best way to help?

They break down both sides of the conversation and discuss why long-term solutions like affordable housing and supportive services can make a lasting difference.

Plus, hear about veterans housing, community solutions, listener questions, and this episode’s Homelessness MVP, Michael Perkins.

💜 Mental Health Awareness Week

Mental health support can be an important part of the journey from homelessness to stability.

At Pathlight HOME, we believe ending homelessness takes more than a roof overhead—it takes connection, support, and opportunities to move forward.

This week, let’s break the stigma and remind one another: it’s okay to ask for help. 💜

Today is World Habitat Day.

Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to call home — and housing is about so much more than four walls and a roof.

At Pathlight HOME, we believe housing is the foundation for building stability, opportunity, and a brighter future. That’s why we provide more than a place to live. Through supportive housing, employment services, case management, and community resources, we help our neighbors move from homelessness toward stability.

Because everyone deserves a place to call home. 💜
