Representatives from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) presented a $39.9 million grant to Miami-Dade County through Public Housing and Community Development (PHCD) and the City of Miami to support the revitalization of the Overtown neighborhood through the FY2023/24 Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI). The CNI program aims to transform distressed public housing into vibrant, mixed-income communities. Miami-Dade’s proposal represents a unique partnership between the County, the City of Miami, Atlantic | Pacific Communities (APC) and Camillus House and many other partners to coordinate investments in the Overtown neighborhood as part of a comprehensive neighborhood revitalization strategy. APC is the designated developer for the Culmer Place/Culmer Gardens public housing sites and Camillus House will provide case management and supportive services to both public housing and neighborhood residents. The redevelopment will replace a little over 200 public housing units with more than 1,100 housing units in a mixed-use setting to include affordable and workforce housing. #Overtown is a historically-Black neighborhood near downtown Miami that was once known as “The Harlem of the South” for its thriving business and arts community, as recently reported by WLRN Public Media. #miami #southflorida #camilluscares #community #givingback #homelessness #makingadifference #nonprofit #doinggood #miaminonprofit #grant #donation

**Exciting News from Camillus House!** 🌟 We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Derrick E. George from George Law in Royal Oak, Michigan, who is pledging a generous $10,000 to sponsor our transition to the Bloomerang Volunteer Platform. This incredible support will help us streamline volunteer management, enhance donor engagement, and ultimately improve our services to the homeless community in Miami-Dade County. Derrick George, along with his wife Maggie George, are planning to expand their full-service law firm to South Florida, where they live and serve the community. The new George Law office in the Miami Design District is set to open in the coming months. Derrick, a dedicated volunteer, is also seeking an appointment to our fundraiser committee, further demonstrating his strong commitment to community service. Derrick has volunteered several hundred hours of community service to both Camillus House and Detroit Rescue Mission this year. Additionally, he has dedicated weekends to Lawyers to the Rescue, a program providing pro bono legal assistance to those in need. Led by Spencer Aronfeld of the reputable Aronfeld Trial Lawyers in Coral Gables, FL, this initiative showcases Derrick's dedication to supporting less fortunate individuals and families. George Law is a reputable law firm committed to making a positive impact in the communities it serves. Join us in celebrating this significant step towards operational efficiency and improved volunteer experiences. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of those we serve. Thank you, Derrick and Maggie, for your incredible support and dedication to our mission! 🙏❤️ See more about Derrick and Maggie George from George Law at georgelaw.com. #CamillusHouse #CommunitySupport #VolunteerPlatform #HomelessServices #MiamiDade #Nonprofit #GivingBack #GeorgeLaw #ThankYouDerrickGeorge #DetroitRescueMission #LawyerstotheRescue #CommunityService
