Miami Rescue Mission Inc

In Miami-Dade County, there are two residential centers (the Center for Men and the Center for Women and Children), the nonresidential Miami Community Activity Center, the Tew Education Center, the MRM Health Clinic and four transitional houses. The Center for Men provides 320 beds for programs, which include emergency services, long-term care and transitional housing. Approximately 150 men per day were involved in an 8 to 14 month intensive program of education, counseling, discipleship training, career preparedness and job entry called the Regeneration Program. There is also a program for Hispanics that are challenged by the English language called Vida Cambiadas (Changed Lives). On average, an additional 150 to 250 men per day are provided with a shower, change of clothes and dinner. Our Center for Women and Children's AWARENESS (A Woman's Answer Regarding Education, Nurture, Encouragement, Self-esteem, and Salvation) Program is a six month long comprehensive program designed to help each woman adjust and stabilize their lives in the areas of housing, income, education, employment, and independent housing.

There is one center in Broward County. Broward Outreach Center has 90 emergency shelter beds, 32 beds are for males, 30 are for single women, and 28 are for women with children. The Broward Outreach Center also provides 20 Regeneration Program Beds. Like the Miami Campus this is an 8 to 14 month intensive program of education, counseling, discipleship training, career preparedness and job entry. BOC also has ten emergency compassion overnight shelter beds filled by the City of Hollywood. Emergency Compassion nights are provided during inclement weather (rain, winds, heat, cold) to individuals referred to us from a municipality, police departments, and/or task force. MRM owns five transitional houses in Broward County which are used by formerly homeless in their transition into permanent housing helping our residents.
