WHO WE ARE

 Core Housing of Central Florida is an independent transitional housing program dedicated to providing safe, stable, and structured living environments for adults facing housing instability. We serve individuals who are overcoming substance use challenges, managing mental health conditions, transitioning from incarceration or foster care, or experiencing homelessness. Our mission is to create a foundation where individuals can rebuild their lives with dignity, accountability, and support.

We believe housing is more than shelter it is the starting point for healing, growth, and long-term independence.

 Our mission is to provide safe, clean, and sober independent housing while offering structure, accountability, and supportive services that empower residents to achieve stability and self-sufficiency.  

 We envision a community where individuals are not defined by their past circumstances but are supported in building a future rooted in stability, responsibility, and opportunity. 

 Core Housing of Central Florida serves adults 18 years and older who are able to live independently while maintaining a sober lifestyle. Our program is designed for individuals who are:

• Experiencing homelessness or housing instability
• In recovery from substance use
• Living with mental health conditions
• Reentry citizens transitioning from incarceration
• Young adults exiting foster care

Residents must be committed to maintaining a drug-free and alcohol-free living environment and participating in community accountability.

We offer independent transitional housing designed for individuals who are capable of managing their daily responsibilities on their own. Residents live with minimal hands-on assistance and are expected to function independently while benefiting from a supportive peer environment.

Our housing model emphasizes personal responsibility, accountability, and mutual support among residents. Individuals largely manage their own schedules, appointments, employment, and personal needs, relying primarily on themselves and the encouragement of those they live with—not ongoing direct services.

Housing options may include:

• Short-term and long-term housing placements
• Shared living environments
• Structured sober housing
• Safe and stable properties located within the Central Florida area

Residents are expected to contribute to household responsibilities, respect shared spaces, and support one another throughout their transitional journey.
