We hate to say it so bluntly, but, this move was long overdue. The relocation of Camillus’ House out of the CBD is a wonderful thing. Not, that we have anything against homeless people, in fact, we wish there was more help available to them. Camillus’ House should have always been located in the civic center area, near the hospitals and public work facilities that can help turn these peoples’ lives around. Lucky for us, Camillus played their cards right by partnering with UM in a large land swap deal that placed many biotech jobs at risk if the move received widespread opposition. Let’s face it, Miami’s homeless population lives in deplorable conditions and faces widespread neglect from the community as a whole. Something has to be done to help get these people off the streets. The new facility will contain 340 beds and will better equip Camillus’ house in reducing homelessness. In the CBD, this move will allow for city leaders and developers to help “clean-up” local streets which currently house many of the homeless and will further enhance the developments occurring in the area…
Speaking of Moves, Stay Tuned as we begin our move to our new website, look for redirects as early as this weekend…
