Keeping Families Together.
Greater Lafayette’s only Emergency Shelter that keeps parents and children under one roof while they rebuild their lives.
“I was overwhelmed sleeping in my car while my kids were staying on a friend’s couch. I didn’t know what I was going to do. When I came here, they cared. They helped. They made a real difference for me and my kids. I won’t ever forget that””
“When I was walking into the door for the first time, I felt like I was checking myself into jail. I was scarred and worried, but would do anything to make sure I stayed with my kids. It was a relief to have support, a stable place to stay, and knowing my kids were staying with me and not in foster care.”
