Camillus House

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup is just weeks away from kicking off in Miami, Camillus House CEO Eddie Gloria joined Christian Colón on NBC 6 and Telemundo 51 to discuss heightened concerns around human trafficking tied to major international events, and what Camillus House is doing to prepare.

Anticipating an increase in survivors needing immediate support during the World Cup, Camillus House has added more than 50 beds for men and women expected to be rescued and brought into care.

During the interview, Eddie urged the public to stay alert to potential warning signs of trafficking, including controlling behavior, situations where someone appears unable to speak freely, or older individuals accompanying much younger people.

“You might see control tactics where this person is deciding if that person can have a conversation with you,” Eddie explained. “The physicality of that couple shows you that maybe the man is trying to control how far she can go.”

As Miami prepares to welcome millions of visitors from around the world, Camillus House remains committed to providing safety, dignity, and hope for the most vulnerable individuals. 💙

As South Florida prepares to welcome more than one million visitors for the FIFA World Cup, Camillus House is expanding its efforts to support survivors of human trafficking.

Camillus House is adding 50 beds across Miami-Dade County to provide survivors with safe housing and immediate support services during a time when advocates say trafficking cases often rise around major global events.

In a recent WPLG Local 10 segment, Camillus House CEO Eddie Gloria spoke about the role the nonprofit plays in helping victims recover.

“It’s important to restore human dignity,” Eddie says. “We try to give people their lives back. We try to give them hope. We try to give them community and give them a chance to start thinking about tomorrow and move away from just surviving and into creating.”

This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring the strength, resilience, and determination of mothers like Xiomara. 💙

When Xiomara became homeless in 2019, she was pregnant, caring for four children, and facing unimaginable uncertainty after leaving an abusive relationship. Despite every obstacle placed in front of her, she never stopped fighting for a better future for her family.

Through the support of Camillus House, Xiomara and her children found permanent supportive housing, which led to a safe path forward.

Today, she is thriving in one of Camillus House’s communities, pursuing her dream of becoming a culinary professional while building a brighter future for her three girls and two boys.

“[The Camillus House team] even told me that I was taking full advantage of this program and going in the right direction. It’s a great feeling to get that support and confirmation,” Xiomara shared. “Camillus House has been a lifesaver for me.”

Her journey is a powerful reminder that behind every mother is a story of sacrifice, courage, and hope – and that with the right support system, families can rebuild and move forward together.
