Saint John's Center for Homeless Men
The mission of Saint John's Center for Homeless Men is to help homeless men address barriers to self-sufficiency and housing so that they may leave homelessness for good. By providing shelter, social services, supportive housing, and serving as a hub with partner agencies, St. John Center is where homeless men “seek help, find hope, and move home.”
History of Saint John's
The history of the center started in 1986 when Saint John's began providing day services for homeless men in the Louisville area. The Catholic church that the center took ownership of was built in the 1850’s as a safe haven for immigrants following Bloody Monday, the agency still serves as sanctuary today for those who often have no place else to go.
