📢 Funding homeless services is about more than budgets—it’s about people.
Our Executive Director, Ra'Shann "Rae" Martin, recently spoke with Spectrum News 1 about proposed reductions in funding for homeless services and what those cuts could mean for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Louisville.
At St. John Center, we see every day how housing and supportive services change lives. We remain committed to advocating for the resources needed to help our neighbors move from homelessness to stability.
Watch the interview:
Louisville shelter concerned with proposed reduction in city funding
The center is one of several organizations figuring how to make do as the city’s Office of Social Services works to do more with less.Cutbacks at St. John means more homeless people on the streets instead of in the shelter. That will increase spending on police, fire, hospitals, and others. Show us where your priorities are, Mayor Craig Greenberg. Investing in St John Center means a healthier, safer Louisville.
🎉 Happy Birthday! 🎉
Today we’re celebrating one of our incredible team members and all the joy, compassion, and dedication they bring to St. John Center each day. 💙
We are so grateful for the impact you make on our clients, our staff, and our community. We hope your day is filled with happiness, laughter, and plenty of celebration!
