Second Heart Homes is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to ending chronic homelessness among adults with mental illnesses in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Our mission focuses on providing permanent, stable housing combined with comprehensive wrap-around services designed to meet the unique needs of some of the most vulnerable and underserved individuals in our community.

Specializing in assisting chronically homeless adults who have often fallen through the cracks of traditional systems, Second Heart Homes approaches each resident as a whole person. We carefully assess their individual circumstances and challenges to develop personalized, compassionate plans that address their mental health, housing stability, and overall well-being. Our goal is not only to get people off the streets but to empower them to rebuild their lives with dignity, safety, and hope.

By offering permanent housing options integrated with supportive services such as case management, healthcare coordination, and life skills development, Second Heart Homes creates a foundation for long-term success and community reintegration. We believe that housing is the first critical step in transforming lives and ending homelessness, especially for those struggling with mental health challenges.

Serving Sarasota and Manatee counties, Second Heart Homes continues to be a beacon of hope for adults facing homelessness and mental illness. Through our compassionate, evidence-based approach, we strive to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live a fulfilling, stable life in a safe home—because everyone deserves a second chance at a heartful, secure future.
