Benilde Hall began by providing transitional housing and substance abuse treatment to homeless men in 1993.  Since its beginning, more than 1600 men have received treatment and housing. In 2001 due to the community needs, Benilde Hall more than doubled their housing capacity by changing location to the present location that has the capacity for 50 men.
