Louisiana regularly ranks as one of the states with the highest poverty rates, food insecurity, and income inequality in the nation. This combination of factors creates a significant barrier to stability for many families with children, often leading to homelessness.

Now in its 37th year, Providence House has been a consistent force for change, helping struggling families overcome these challenges and build a better future. Seventy-eight cents ($0.78) of every dollar ($1.00) contributed to Providence House supports families and programs.

In 2024, Providence House served 449 people, housed 161 families, provided 18,723 nights of lodging, and served over 21,000 meals. Homelessness prevention programs allowed the organization to help local families with utility and rental assistance.

Providence House was chosen by State Administrators to lead the Emergency Apartment Relocation Program. Residents affected by the forced closure of three Shreveport apartments in May 2024 received relocation assistance with dignity and respect. Providence House was honored to be the point guard on a team with many other local non-profits, government officials (City, Parish, State), businesses, and volunteers to successfully re-house nearly 90 households who sought relocation assistance.
