RentConnect is a team of housing professionals who connect landlords with tenants. Our expert matching program supports owners and managers in keeping properties full and rents paid. 

The tenant pool we offer is made up of pre-screened individuals and families who, having experienced housing instability, are motivated to succeed and eager to once again have a place to call home.

List your property with us and find not just a tenant, but also a team of professionals committed to providing excellent service and solid outcomes. Listing rentals in the RentConnect Program Is Easy and Free.

  • Reach out to our team of housing professionals so we can ensure this is the right program for you:
  • We will develop screening criteria important to you while reducing barriers that might hamper our households from residing on your property.

  • We set you up in our online listing service so we can act quickly when you notify us online of a vacancy or future availability. The property listing database is not public; only registered Landlords, property owners, and the Homeless Trust CoC providers have access to the information.

  • Based on the screening criteria for your property, we will match a housing-ready individual or household to your available unit.

  • Our Continuum of Care housing navigators assist you and the household during the application, lease-up, and move-in process. Navigators work directly with the program staff responsible for initiating rent payments and a security deposit if the household requires financial assistance.

As part of a funders’ collaborative with Miami Homes for All and The Children’s Trust, the Homeless Trust invests in a centralized, web-based system to enhance landlord and property engagement.  A repository of available units in the community and landlord contact information has been developed to assist housing and service providers in the Continuum of Care in matching clients experiencing homelessness to available units in the community. The landlord database continues to be enhanced, and valuable connections are being made every day, with a focus on families with minor children and unaccompanied youth.
