History

Established in 2010.

The Empowerment Initiative Corporation seeks to create a more permanent solution to addressing homelessness and to prevent the repeat cycle of becoming homeless. EIC decided then to create a nonprofit entity whose mission was to provide both permanent housing and supportive services to help the formerly homeless to successfully reintegrate into society by helping them achieve their full potential.

In 2012 the EIC began the development and management of affordable housing, providing residents with a range of supportive services to help achieve self-​sufficiency and minimize their chances of being homeless again.

Since 2013 the EIC Supportive Housing in collaboration with various nonprofit organizations and for-​profit developers, worked to achieve innovative supportive housing in Florida. Assembling millions of financing, tax credits and subsidies to develop and manage the affordable housing units across Miami-​Dade County, serving men, women and children since its founding.
