For more than 40 years, Volunteers of America Mid-States' (VOA) Unity House has provided safe shelter, hope, and support to families experiencing homelessness in Louisville. 

The shelter currently serves 24 families at our original location on South Preston Street. In July, VOA opened a second Unity House location on the Community Care Campus (C3), a transformative project that will bring housing, shelter, and supportive services together in one central location to help individuals and families move from crisis to stability. This new Unity House in the Smoketown neighborhood provides 29 additional units of safe shelter for families as they work toward permanent housing. 

This Give for Good Louisville, your gift can help VOA uplift families in both of our Unity House locations who are facing some of life's toughest challenges. Together, we can ensure more children have a safe place to sleep, more parents have the support they need to rebuild their lives and more families have the opportunity to move from crisis to a place they can call home. Donate today and help open the door to stability and a brighter future for Louisville families.
