The Lafayette Police Department Homeless Outreach Team and LTHC Homeless Services announced the success of a recent outreach effort that allowed for a man to find a space to call home.
The Lafayette Police Department Homeless Outreach Team recently connected with an individual who had reportedly been experiencing homelessness across multiple states for numerous years in downtown Lafayette. The team quickly formed a meaningful bond with the man that enabled them to understand his experiences and empathize with his current situation, eventually leading to an establishment of a space for him to call home.
“Through months of dedicated work, our team used their expertise and resources to help him navigate the path to permanent housing,” the department released. “Just in time for the colder months, he now has a safe, stable place to call home.”
The department stated that the success story would not have been possible without the collaborative effort of LTHC Homeless Services.
“Every successful outcome like this one reminds us of the power of compassion, teamwork and community,” the department released.
