Housing and Healing Justice Corps.
Thank you for your interest in “SMASH” and “Women With Broken Heals” Housing and Healing Justice Corps.!
This program is a one year long, intentional living community and housing cooperative, with a community organizing and professional development component for current and former residents of Liberty City AND South Dade. If accepted into this program, you will be required to live in a household as part of a team, and will need to work out a living arrangement with your fellow housemates. If you simply desire a private apartment in which you only have to worry about yourself then THIS IS NOT THE PROGRAM FOR YOU. In addition, you will be trained AND deployed in the following community organizing activities:
1. Building power for the Miami Housing Justice Agenda through direct community outreach like door knocking and phone banking.
2. Creating a healing space for your neighbors by hosting workshops and events in your home.
3. Educating the community on Community Land Trust affordable housing through outreach and events.
You can anticipate devoting a maximum of 4 hours each week to these required activities.
In exchange, you will get to participate in a community of solidarity, in which living costs are shared, including the cost of your rent. You and your housemates will have been selected for this program through a rigorous and thorough application process to ensure harmony, cohesion and enthusiasm for the work of housing and healing justice.
Please note that although the program will assist with your housing costs, it will not be enough to cover the full costs of your living expenses, so you will need to prove that you also have consistent and gainful employment or a steady source of income AND that you will still have enough time and energy to complete the required activities. Someone with a long-term part-time job, or on SSI will be the ideal applicant.
HOUSING LOCATION:
1611 NW 65th St, Miami, FL 33147
FIRST COME FIRST SERVE
Participants will also have the option to renew their participation at the conclusion of the program in one year.

Thank You!!!
I’m living in Miami 7 months now. Moving for a job opportunity as a hairstylist at one of the top salons in Miami. Because of the housing crisis I’m considering moving back to Philadelphia. It’s a crisis nothing more nothing less.
Good I have lost my section8, because I could find a place with this high price market. Hope I can be a candidate.
