WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Just a week and a half after moving out of their old building due to a sewage issue, Homeless Lives Matter is already getting ready to move into a new home.
The non-profit is moving just down the street from its original location on 7th and Travis. Homeless Lives Matter had only been in the old building for around seven months, but had been an active non-profit for over a year.
Founder Lisa Roffman has dedicated her time to helping the homeless in Wichita Falls, and she feels like the community understands her mission… After stepping up to help her find a new home for her work.
'It is crazy how the community has pulled together. Just on my Homeless Lives Matter page, it reached almost 8,000 people,' Roffman said. 'And that's from people sharing it and people know that we have a passion, that we have a purpose, and we're called to do what we're doing with the homeless.'
The new building is over 4,000 square feet, and once it's completed, it will feature showers, a kitchen, as well as counseling and prayer services. Roffman has already begun cleaning and renovating the property, and she's optimistic that it will be up and running in around two weeks.
