Monroe - Operation Stand Down

Operation Stand Down is a collaborative project undertaken by agencies, businesses, and faith communities to address the issue of homelessness. This one-stop-shop arrangement of human services offers homeless clients a safe haven away from the streets where they can obtain food, clothing, haircuts, and a wide variety of other forms of assistance, including health care, social services, linkages with benefits or other programs.  Equally important, the Stand Down creates a supportive community that can help strengthen the homeless’ self esteem while directing local attention to the problem of homelessness.
