‘Can’t believe this is mine’: People with mental health challenges get new home in Broward

Thank you to The Miami Herald’s Raisa Habersham and Carl Juste for visiting our members in Pembroke Pines and sharing their inspiring stories!

Our new Clubhouse in Pembroke Pines is a significant step forward, featuring both a teaching kitchen and dedicated housing for our members. The development, Southwest Hammocks, is in partnership with Carrfour Supportive Housing, enhancing affordable and supportive housing in Miami.

Foot Print to Success Clubhouse CEO Barbara Harmon said that having housing for the organization’s members was always part of her vision. “Having permanent housing like Carrfour is, I think, is one of the best things that can happen to them,” Barbara said. “ ... It provides stability to them, and they’re in a safe environment, where they didn’t have that before.”
