Pathlight HOME changes the lives of homeless and low income Floridians by providing affordable housing and economic opportunities. Now in our 25th year, we are Central Florida’s first and largest provider of permanent supportive housing for homeless men, women and families. Originally incorporated as Grand Avenue Economic Development Corporation, we have helped more than 5,000 of our homeless neighbors through our “housing first” philosophy. Today, more than 600 residents receive safe, dignified housing and the supportive services of a team of social workers to help them stay housed. Pathlight HOME also operates two social enterprises, Pathlight Kitchen and Sobik’s Café. These enterprises create an opportunity for low-income community members to learn culinary skill sets, enabling them to overcome barriers to employment and earn higher wages.
