I understand that the Butler Homeless Initiative (BHI) is privately operated and not funded by tax dollars, and has been in operation for four years. I understand that this transitional housing is meant to end homelessness rather than generate or enable homelessness. I understand too, that BHI is recognized as a nonprofit, charitable 501(c)(3) corporation in the State of Kansas, and is a partner in the Kansas State Continuum of Care, an arm of the National Homeless Coalition, and that BHI is a member of the Kansas Homeless Coalition.

I have been spending my time meeting with the neighbors who are worried about the transition home and listening to their concerns. It is clear that we need to keep talking about the reality of what this initiative provides for people who have nowhere else to turn.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a weight lifting off my chest because I know exactly how hard these families struggle just to find a roof over their heads. This support proves that our neighbors recognize the value of giving people a stable foundation to rebuild their lives.

Keep up the good work. Seen too many people sleeping in their cars lately and it breaks my heart.
