How We Help
Our Programs
We address the core barriers that lead to homelessness and allow families (single men, single women, or married couples with children) a chance to start again, to find hope, and to gain the independence that they have never had or once lost. Our three strong pillars include:
Education
Providence House operates a 4-STAR Child Development Center (CDC) exclusively for homeless and low income children ages zero to five years. Working to Learn is our full-time, adult HiSet/GED program. Adult residents have the opportunity to earn their high school equivalency diploma with an option to dually enroll with Bossier Parish Community College.
Housing
The “House” accommodates up to 27 families (80 people). With the support of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the City of Shreveport, our goal is to rapidly get families housed and provide the necessary support to become self-sufficient.
Supportive Services
Providence House employs case managers, a professional counselor, a full-time dietary team, and a full-time teaching staff. This team, along with administrative staff, provides a complement of supportive services including financial literacy, parenting and life skills classes, employment preparation, and a workforce development program.
Get Involved
We cannot do it without you, and we are asking you to get involved. There are so many ways for you to partner with us in our mission to end the cycle of homelessness in the Shreveport/Bossier area.
