It Starts with Home: Building stability. Creating opportunity. Keeping homeownership within reach

Home is more than an address. It is where families find stability and grow, where community is built, and where opportunity begins.

But in South Florida, the high cost of housing is making that stability harder to achieve. Families are stretching their budgets to remain in their homes. Renters are struggling with rising costs while wondering whether homeownership will ever be possible. Prospective buyers face increasingly difficult decisions about what they can afford or if they can even stay in their neighborhoods where their families may have lived for generations. Existing homeowners may be one major repair or financial setback away from losing the stability they worked so hard to build.

At NHSSF, we believe we cannot give up on the promise of home.

We meet people where they are, helping families strengthen finances, understand their options, prepare for homeownership, and preserve the homes they already have. We know homeownership may not be the immediate answer for every household, but we also believe it should not become an opportunity available only to those who already have wealth.

It’s about stability: helping families strengthen their financial and housing foundations.

It’s about opportunity: providing education, guidance, and resources that help people make informed decisions about their futures.

It’s about preservation: helping homeowners remain safely and sustainably in the homes they worked hard to attain.

And it’s about possibility: keeping the path to homeownership visible and within reach for families working toward it.

This Give Miami Day, your support helps NHSSF continue this work across South Florida.

Give Miami Day is on Thursday, November 19 but Early Giving starts this Saturday, November 14.

Your gift is an investment in families working toward greater stability today and greater opportunity tomorrow. It helps ensure residents have trusted places to turn for knowledge, guidance, and support as they navigate a challenging housing environment.

Understanding Amendment 3: Resources to Help You Prepare for November 3

This information is originally from Miami Homes For All.

 

Next Tuesday, November 3rd, Floridians will vote on Amendment 3, a proposed constitutional amendment that could significantly change the state’s property tax system.

Property taxes play an important role in funding essential services across Miami-Dade County, from schools, public safety and disaster response to transit, parks and libraries. While Amendment 3 could provide tax relief for some homeowners, it also raises important questions about how local governments would continue funding these services and what the long-term implications could be for renters, businesses and housing affordability.

At Miami Homes For All, we believe residents deserve access to clear, reliable information to help them make informed decisions. That’s why we’ve gathered resources from our organization and other experts to help you better understand the proposal and its potential impacts before heading to the polls.
