About Us
Benilde Hall began providing transitional housing and substance
abuse treatment to indigent homeless men in 1993.
Since its inception, more than 2600 men have received
housing and treatment.
In 2001 due to the community needs, Benilde Hall more than
doubled their capacity by moving into the present location that
houses 65 men. In 2006, Benilde Hall opened Matt Talbot, a 12
unit permanent housing apartment building for men who
successfully completed the Benilde Hall program.
