LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Catholic Charities of Southwest Louisiana proposed the construction of the Saint Joseph Refuge Shelter for Men at the Lake Charles city planning and zoning meeting.
The shelter will be located on the corner of 6th Avenue and Third Street. Many oppose the build, as they are worried about the problems it will bring to their neighborhood.
“We’ve got children catching the bus. We’ve got women who are alone. We are just concerned about the safety issue,” Jacqeline Shelton said.
