Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to recognize the Camillus House, an organization in my home city of Miami that works tirelessly on behalf of the homeless and those in need in south Florida. Since its creation in 1960, the Camillus House has operated with the belief that every person is precious and deserving of love, respect, and a chance to live a dignified life. Camillus has grown into an indispensable lifeline for the most vulnerable in our community. Camillus provides housing options, free meals, drug treatment, and a full range of medical treatment to the homeless and those with disabilities. For these individuals, the staff and the volunteers at Camillus House serve as a family, giving them the hope and support that they need in their difficult transition to a new self-sustaining life. Mr. Speaker, I thank Camillus' staff and volunteers for their devotion to the desperate and voiceless in our midst. I encourage everyone in south Florida to visit camillus.org or to call 305-374-1065 to learn how you can empower this organization to continue serving those in need in our community. ____________________
