One Stop Homeless Services Center provides support services to homeless

Faced with a tremendous need to mitigate homelessness and gain supportive services for people with disabilities in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the Gulf Coast Housing Partnership (GCHP) began to plan development and financing for the construction of a state-of-the-art facility to for affordable, permanent, supportive housing and services under one roof. Financed in part by Community Housing Capital and Whitney National Bank, along with funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, the project, named One Stop Homeless Services Center, was completed in 2011. At the ribbon-cutting event, GCHP celebrated with the Capital Area Alliance for the Homeless, whose 2004 vision for the facility helped make it a reality. The One Stop Homeless Services Center provides a full range of “Continuum of Care” support services to Baton Rouge’s homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless.
