The History of Benilde Hall

Benilde Hall began providing transitional housing and substance abuse treatment to indigent homeless men in 1993.  Since its inception, more than 1600 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 50 men.

In 2006, Benilde Hall opened Matt Talbot, a 12 unit permanent housing apartment building for men who successfully completed the Benilde Hall Program. The men of Matt Talbot continue with aftercare treatment while becoming mentors and role models within the Benilde Hall community.
