🔑 It’s Key Friday at St. John Center! 🔑
Today we celebrate another neighbor taking the next step toward stability, healing, and home.
At St. John Center, we believe housing is a right, not a privilege. Every set of keys represents more than a door opening — it represents hope, dignity, and a fresh start.
Please join us in celebrating this exciting milestone and the continued power of Housing First in our community. 💙

Recent conversations about homelessness services in Louisville remind us why this work matters.
At St. John Center, we believe every person deserves the dignity, safety, and stability that come with having a place to call home.
“Our goal is to stay open seven days a week during the really hot and really cold months — July and August, and January and February,” Martin said. “The rest of the year, we’re looking at closing on weekends to make up for what we lost from city funding.”
We remain committed to walking alongside our neighbors experiencing homelessness as they build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
