Our Story

All throughout Jefferson Parish are families wrestling with homelessness. While some might not appear homeless, they have no permanent residence. A friend’s couch, a motel room, or even a car is their only place for their family to stay. These families are sometimes formed by a single part, but always formed by one or more children. People need a place to live—safe, healthy, and secure, but families need more.

We all were created for more. Our families, children, and future generations were created to flourish. Generational flourishing comes about when we think and act holistically. People need their physical needs met, their emotional needs met, and their spiritual needs met. How will we help meet those needs? 

3rd & 4th will provide families safe, healthy, and secure housing immediately. This will also provide an opportunity for families to begin to save for the future—for a future apartment or home. To help in this, we will provide financial training and support along the way. Because families wrestle with generational trauma, we will also provide psychological and emotional support not only to allow families to heal but stop the trauma from moving to the next generation.

The future can change one family at a time, one generation at a time. What was hopeless can become hopeful. What was scarce can become abundant. What was broken can become whole. Families can flourish. Generations can flourish.
