Miami Rescue Mission Broward Outreach Centers Inc

There is one center in Broward County. Broward Outreach Center has 90 emergency shelter beds, 32 beds are for males, 30 are for single women, and 28 are for women with children. The Broward Outreach Center also provides 20 Regeneration Program Beds. Like the Miami Campus this is an 8 to 14 month intensive program of education, counseling, discipleship training, career preparedness and job entry. BOC also has ten emergency compassion overnight shelter beds filled by the City of Hollywood. Emergency Compassion nights are provided during inclement weather (rain, winds, heat, cold) to individuals referred to us from a municipality, police departments, and/or task force. MRM owns five transitional houses in Broward County which are used by formerly homeless in their transition into permanent housing helping our residents.

MRM operates a thrift store named the Bargain Barn. The store provides merchandise for sale such as clothing, appliances, furniture, bric-a-brac, etc. Donated items are picked up by MRM's fleet of trucks. Many donated items are put into direct use by the Centers (furniture, paint, clothing, appliances); the remaining items are sold to help fund homeless programs. The Bargain Barn is a place to help train residents for future employment. The Mission / the Barn hires many of the men and women who complete the residential programs with thirty-five percent of staff being formerly homeless.
