Regional players

• Coalition for the Homeless of Miami-Dade: The Coalition for the Homeless of Miami-Dade operates its own shelter and supportive housing programs and serves as an advocacy organization for homeless services across the county.

Broad incumbents

• The Salvation Army (National): The Salvation Army is a national faith-based nonprofit operating emergency shelters, food programs, and recovery services across the United States.

• Catholic Charities USA: Catholic Charities USA is the national umbrella for Catholic Charities agencies operating housing, shelter, and social services across the country.
