THE SOLUTION
A Path Forward to End Homelessness in Brevard County
The solution to homelessness in Brevard County is not temporary shelter—it is supportive, deeply affordable housing paired with the right support system to help people succeed long-term.
Providence Place represents that solution.
Located at 850 S Apollo Blvd in Melbourne, Providence Place is a groundbreaking, locally led initiative designed to move beyond crisis response and create lasting stability. This is not just a housing project—it is a community-centered, dignity-driven model that addresses the root causes of homelessness while strengthening the entire Brevard community.
