Give Miami Day 2022 was a big success thanks to you!

This Give Miami Day was our most successful to date. With the support of 91 generous donors and Champions for NHSSF, we were able to raise $12,000.

These funds will help us in our mission to continue to help low- and moderate-income families across South Florida on their path to financial freedom and homeownership. Thanks to the generosity displayed, we will be able to help many families secure their dream of buying their first house and helping to create intergenerational wealth. 

NHSSF provides a multitude of services geared towards helping the community including homeownership education and counseling, financial capability services, rental and foreclosure education, and the development of affordable housing. And we couldn’t provide all these services without the support and commitment of this generous network of donors and partners.

Outside Give Miami Day, NHSSF still accepts donations, so if you didn’t have the time to show your support, you can donate now here:
