This week, we celebrate National Case Management Week—a time to honor the incredible professionals who walk alongside individuals on their journey to stability and hope. ✨

At St. John Center, our case managers do so much more than connect people to housing and resources. They listen, encourage, advocate, and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with neighbors who are working to rebuild their lives. 🏠💙

Their compassion, persistence, and expertise make housing possible and help ensure that once housed, our residents have the support they need to thrive.

Please join us in thanking our case managers for their unwavering dedication and heart! 💐

📣 October Outreach Academy Speaker Announcement

We’re excited to welcome James Polk, MetroSafe Deflection Project Manager, as this month’s Outreach Academy speaker!

James will share insight into Louisville MetroSafe’s Deflection Team — a vital program offering alternatives to law enforcement response for individuals experiencing mental health or substance use crises. From over-the-phone de-escalation and resource connection to in-person interventions, the Deflection Team provides compassionate, safety-focused support when it’s needed most.

He will also discuss the Families Reunited Program, which helps individuals who are unhoused in Louisville reconnect with identified support systems elsewhere — including details about the process and eligibility.

📅 Wednesday, October 15 | 12:00 p.m.
📍 Jeff Street Baptist Community at Liberty
800 E. Liberty Street (enter on the Shelby Street side)

🍱 Thanks to the Dona O'Sullivan Fund, lunch will be provided!
Enjoy a free meal, valuable information, and great networking opportunities.

No RSVP required — just come, learn, and connect!
Please spread the word and invite others.
