Diverse Housing

Diverse Housing is a community based organization dedicated to housing that justice involved individuals in Orlando and Orange counties. They serve individuals with felony convictions and individuals with convictions for sexual offenses who are on probation, as well as those who have completed the terms of their release. Their mission is to assist these individuals, as staff understand that living in the community with a criminal record can present significant barriers to safe, stable housing. Residents of Diverse Housing have a better chance at disrupting the cycle of incarceration because they live in affordable, supportive communities that endorse sobriety and positive life changes. All residents receive a single occupancy room and have the option of a furnished space, as well as access to on site laundry services and communal spaces for cooking. Staff encourage individuals to apply for housing well ahead of their scheduled release to give the organization time to find an appropriate living space that meets the terms of their living restrictions.
