Transitional Housing: Miami
Camillus On-Site Housing for Treatment Clients
A total of 63 beds are available on-site at the 726 NE 1 st Avenue, for adult, homeless men who are participating in one of the treatment-based programs offered at that location. Housing is provided in dormitory style rooms during entry phases, and clients move into more private shared bedrooms as they progress through treatment. Clients in these programs do not need to pay any rent or program fees, since they are participating in treatment on a full-time basis and therefore do not have any income.
Matt Talbot House and Good Shepherd Villas
A total of 45 beds are available through these two facilities for formerly homeless men and women who have recently completed a substance abuse treatment program. Residents receive a great deal of support to help make the transition from their former lifestyles to a new, sober way of life. Mandatory house meetings, daily Alcoholics Anonymous (A/A) and Narcotics Anonymous (N/A) meetings, and strictly enforced rules and curfews help provide clients with the guidance they need during the delicate transition period. At the end of their year-and-a-half stay, residents are ready to re-enter society as fully independent, self-sufficient individuals. Formalized case management services and a comprehensive Life Skills Education program further assist clients through their transition period.
Brother Abraham Apartments
Brother Abraham apartments provide transitional housing for 16 single men and/or women through 4 two-bedroom apartments across from the Opa Locka airport. Camillus leases the entire building, ensuring that the living environment remains supportive and drug and alcohol free. Clients receive case management and employment assistance during the 6 month program.
