2-1-1 First Call for Help provides homeless services in Broward County, including assistance in finding shelter, support services, or programs for individuals or families who are homeless or on the verge of being homeless.
Broward County residents who do not have a permanent home or place of safety to reside are especially vulnerable during emergencies, such as a hurricane.
When a hurricane warning is announced and a mandatory evacuation order is issued, Broward County Transit (BCT) buses will offer evacuation transportation from three assigned pick-up points to four homeless shelters in the north, south and central portions of the County. Transportation will continue until sustained winds reach 35 miles per hour.
