What Camillus House does

Camillus House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit humanitarian services organization founded in 1960 in Miami, Florida, operating as a ministry of the Hospitaller Order of St. John of God. The organization delivers a comprehensive continuum of housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness across 11 sites in Miami-Dade County. Core programs include emergency, transitional, and permanent housing serving more than 1,700 people nightly; the Day Center providing meals, showers, and essential services; the CARF-accredited ISPA (Institute of Success and Personal Achievement) substance abuse and mental health treatment program; Project Phoenix, South Florida's only 16-bed residential treatment center for human trafficking survivors; the Camillus Youth Housing Initiative (CYHI) for at-risk youth aged 18-24; the Veterans Program; the Jail Diversion Program; the Homeless Prevention Program with rental and utility assistance; and Camillus YOUniversity, a workforce development program partnering with Miami Dade College and Florida International University on culinary arts, construction trades, and security training. Camillus Health Concern operates as a sister organization providing primary care to homeless individuals.

The organization's revenue model is donations and charitable contributions. Funding sources include individual donations (one-time and recurring via the ReNEW Hope Society), corporate sponsorships (notably American Airlines as title sponsor of the Hope for All Gala, plus Bank of America, Baptist Health, Norwegian Cruise Line, Molina Healthcare, TD Bank, Publix Super Markets Charities, Miami Foundation, and others), foundation grants (Simply Healthcare Foundation, TD Charitable Foundation, Campbell's Foundation, Florida Blue Foundation Sapphire Award), and federal, state, and local government funding — most prominently over $21 million through the Miami-Dade Homeless Trust over three years, plus support from HUD, the VA Grant Per Diem, and the Florida Department of Children and Families. Service delivery is fully subsidized: services are provided free of charge to eligible individuals, and pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Operationally, Camillus House served more than 33,000 individuals and families in a recent year, served over 209,553 hot meals, and operates with 200+ paid employees and more than 2,500 volunteers. The organization holds 4-star Charity Navigator, Candid Gold Transparency 2024, and CARF International accreditations and is governed by a Board of Directors currently chaired by Albert R. Molina (per leadership records) with CEO Eddie Gloria recognized as a 2026 Power Leader in Philanthropy by the South Florida Business Journal. The organization reports no proprietary technology systems and relies on direct service delivery across physical locations, a Homeless Helpline, mobile street outreach, and institutional coordination with hospitals, courts, and law enforcement for client intake.
