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.
Matt Talbot Apartments provide furnished safe apartments across the street from the main facility. Men who
have successfully completed the Benilde Hall program can live in an apartment provided they pay rent, stay
clean and sober, participate in aftercare services and abide by apartment rules.
The apartments help extend the continuum of care to men in recovery for addiction and homelessness.
