Hope Can’t Wait… C.O.R.E. An Humanitarian Way To:

Strengthening Community Preparedness Through Partnership

C.O.R.E. is more than a rapid response team—it’s a movement of neighbors, leaders, and partners united to bring safety, stability, and hope in times of crisis. Instead of only reacting to emergencies, C.O.R.E. strengthens communities before, during, and after hardship by:

Coordinating Care: Bringing together local resources and organizations to meet urgent needs quickly.
Offering Stability: Providing immediate support such as housing, food, and essentials to those in crisis.
Restoring Dignity: Ensuring individuals and families feel seen, valued, and respected as they rebuild.
Empowering Resilience: Helping communities prepare, recover, and grow stronger together.

At its heart, C.O.R.E. is about transforming emergency response into long-term empowerment—so that every crisis becomes an opportunity for healing and renewed strength.

The Pathway From Community to Custody to Community

Empowering Change, Strengthening Communities

We empower underserved individuals and families—men, women, children, offenders, and the invisible homeless—by providing the tools, training, and support they need to thrive. Our programs help overcome barriers, build life skills, reunite families, and foster self-sufficiency, while reducing homelessness and recidivism to create safer, stronger communities.

Breaking the Cycle in Florida:
In Florida, nearly one in four individuals released from prison is reincarcerated within three years, and over 60% are rearrested during that time. Evidence-based reentry programs dramatically reduce these rates. For example, participants in Florida’s reentry initiatives experience a 13% recidivism rate, compared to the state’s overall rate of 24%.

By addressing the root causes of repeat offenses—such as employment and housing—Family In Distress empowers returning citizens to not only secure meaningful employment but also build long-term opportunities through business ownership. Our approach transforms lives, strengthens families, and creates lasting, positive impact across communities.
