CHALLENGE #28-2021 IS COMPLETE!

FAITH HOUSE

Lafayette, Louisiana

Faith House was founded in 1980 as a shelter for homeless women. Calls from abused women were received and increased with time.  In 1992, Faith House was designated as a battered women's program exclusively.  The first shelter had 28 beds and were reluctant to turn anyone away.  A volunteer and member of the Board of Directors began fundraising for a larger shelter. The volunteer called 10 friends, who called 10 more friends and so on and Women Helping Women was formed. With seed money, ground was broken in 1998 for a new 45 bed shelter and the new larger shelter opened on Christmas Eve that year. Faith House has served over 11,000 since its inception.
