What does a homeless person look like? You may be surprised.
FACT: St. Matthew's House has been over-capacity since June 2005 and now even families are on our waiting list.
For a growing segment of the population in Lee and Collier counties, living affordably is a daily struggle. Rising prices, a sinking economy and unforeseen medical bills or life controlling issues can lead to financial burdens and eventually, homelessness. It's a problem that affects EVERYONE.
For over 20 years, St. Matthew's House has been the ONLY place in Collier County to offer food, a home, spiritual support and a structured environment with life-changing programs to assist neighbors in need and bring them help, hope and a path to a new life.
