For over 16 years, Dave’s House has been dedicated to its mission of ending homelessness for adults with serious mental illness—providing permanent housing, mental health support, and a path to stability. With our current residences in Orange County, we’ve seen firsthand the power of safe, supportive housing to transform lives. Now, we’re expanding that impact with the creation of our first multi-unit Residential Community in Central Florida. Our annual fundraising event “Dave’s House Party” fuels this mission.
Your mission if you choose to accept it …
Join us for Dave’s House Party, our most important night of the year, raising crucial funds to fuel our mission of providing permanent supportive housing for adults with serious mental illness.
