About Us

The heart of Riviera Beach Cares Homeless Coalition for Families (RBC) is to fill an existing gap in the continuum of services for families experiencing homeless crises. We pride ourselves in our ability to connect and leverage existing resources, while providing a one-of-a-kind service to the community. Palm Beach County Florida is rich with resources for the homeless population. That said, none are designed to provide families with children emergency crisis shelter. Since 2020 RBC, and its Executive Board of Volunteer Directors, have successfully accomplished its mission by providing eligible families with emergency shelter in less than 24-hours.

Here at RBC, we are driven by a single goal; to positively impact our community by positively and respectfully impacting families. Our processes are intentionally streamlined and efficient adding ease of access for families who are desperately seeking shelter support. Our decision-making process is informed by comprehensive empirical studies and high-quality data evaluation. We value and protect the dignity and right to self- determination of everyone served.

Happy Family

Our Vision and Mission

VISION

Our Vision is to respectfully support working families whose lives have been disrupted due to homeless crises by providing a hand-up, with immediate shelter, connection, information, navigation, and momentum towards self-sufficiency.

Ultimately, our vision is to see families transition from homeless, to renter, to ownership.

 

MISSION

Our mission is to provide emergency crisis shelter to families with children under age 18, with a record of residence in Riviera Beach, Fl. (with plans to scale to Palm Beach County) within 12-24 hours of their initial contact with Riviera Beach Cares staff.
