Transitional Housing: Miami
Camillus On-Site Housing for Treatment Clients
A
total of 64 beds are available on-site at the 726 NE
1st Avenue in downtown Miami, for adult men who are homeless and 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 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 65 beds are available through these two facilities for men who are formerly homeless and 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 (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) 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-one-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.
Emmaus Place
Emmaus Place, located in downtown Miami directly across from the Somerville Residence, is being renovated and transformed into a housing facility for young men transitioning out of foster care.
