Camillus House (St. Jude)

 Camillus Housing Services addresses the most obvious aspect of homelessness — it provides individuals and families with a place to live. A range of housing options include Emergency, Transitional  and Permanent  housing, depending upon the stage in which each client is during their recovery from homelessness.
All housing programs are linked to Camillus' other programs so that clients receive the comprehensive health care and social services they require during their participation in the program. On an average night, some 1,000 men, women and children of South Florida will spend the night at Camillus House.
