Mission & Focus Areas
The Coalition’s stated mission is to make homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring in Brevard County. It describes its work as managing federal and state housing and services funding, coordinating advocacy and planning, and administering the local Homeless Management Information System. It also serves as the CoC’s collaborative applicant and HMIS lead agency.
Reported 2025 grantees include organizations whose own missions address behavioral health care, crisis referrals, food and homelessness support, housing for families, shelter and housing for mothers and children, and support for survivors of violence and people affected by poverty, homelessness, or mental health challenges. For example, Circles of Care describes its mission as providing comprehensive behavioral health care; Daily Bread says it works to ensure that no one faces hunger or homelessness alone; and Community of Hope describes providing structured housing for families with children.
Grantmaking
The Coalition’s 2025 filing reports 26 grants totaling $1,941,401. Grant amounts ranged from $5,077 to $750,000, with a median of $39,498. The grants appear in the context of the Coalition’s role administering homelessness-related funding and should not be confused with funding the Coalition itself receives.
Among the largest listed 2025 grants were $750,000 to Matthew’s Hope Brevard for “Challenge”; $155,543 to Carrfour Supportive Services Inc for “Continuum of Care Program”; $109,995 to Circles of Care Inc for “Challenge”; $106,549 to 211 Brevard Inc for “Challenge”; and $95,110 to Daily Bread Inc for “Challenge.”
For the FY2025 HUD CoC local competition, the Coalition said it would release a request for proposals for project applicants and hold an optional pre-proposal workshop. Applicants were instructed to submit proposals as directed in the RFP. The Coalition described a review process that included threshold review, independent scoring, final scoring and oral presentations, creation of a priority project listing, and approval steps. Its FY2026 materials describe the Coalition proceeding with submission of the FL-513 CoC Consolidated Application; they do not state a local applicant deadline.
