Community Services
Florida National University is dedicated to serving the community which it calls home. In conjunction with our determination to provide a quality education to our diverse student population, Florida National University actively seeks opportunities to enrich the lives of others.
Camillus House
Florida National University is also a regular contributor to Camillus House, a non-profit organization that provides humanitarian services to the poor and homeless. Camillus House provides basic support for men, women, and children in need. Some of these services include comprehensive health care, social services, addiction recovery, job counseling, and emergency food, shelter, and clothing.
His House Children’s Home
His House Children’s Home is a faith-based social services agency fulfilling God’s directive to “defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless” by providing excellent care and a safe place to call home. Established in 1989, the ministry provides residential care, foster and adoption services for abused, neglected and drug exposed children of South Florida from newborn to 17 years of age, transitioning youth and their families. The agency is licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families, contracted in the tri-county area as a residential program and child-placement agency. Our goal is to restore the emotional and physical well being of children in a loving and nurturing environment. His House is a healing place giving wounded children a warm, loving home and renewed hope for a brighter future. Foster and adoption training is available in English and Spanish on our campus, for more information you can visit our website at www.hhch.org or call (305) 430-0085.
