Camillus House Speaker's Bureau

For nearly a half century now, Camillus House has been serving persons who are poor and homeless in South Florida. Hundreds of thousands have come through the doors at our downtown shelter. Some needed our help to get them through a rough patch in their lives, others came looking for a better life, and found it.

From it’s humble beginnings as a soup kitchen founded by an Irish Brother looking to serve God by serving his most needy children, Camillus House has grown into a full service continuum of care for the homeless of South Florida. Camillus House now provides food and clothing services, housing, medical and psychological care and treatment, substance abuse rehabilitation, and job training and placement. Camillus House been a constant throughout the major changes seen in the Miami area throughout the past 45 years, and Camillus will continue to be a constant refuge for those in need in Miami’s future.
