After 18 months of living clean and sober, and nearly a year after reuniting with her three children, Melissa Loyless says a big part of what has kept them on track has been where they live -- the St. Vincent de Paul Society's DePaul Apartments.
The 12-unit complex on Preston Street offers long-term housing for homeless single women with children.
"If I hadn't moved in here, there would have been no way for me to get my kids back," Loyless, 39, said. "They're awesome. They really support you ... with things that help keep you going in the right direction."
If all goes well with lining up financing, the St. Vincent de Paul Society hopes to begin work this spring on a $5.7 million expansion that will provide similar housing options to others like the Loyless family. It plans to add 54 housing units at two sites on its campus, which is bounded by Preston, Jackson, Kentucy and St. Catherine streets.

The Community Foundation of Louisville (CFL) has awarded the first grants from its new Louisville Excellence in Action Program (LEAP) to recognize outstanding programs in Louisville Metro that have a proven track record of success, but need additional funding to leap forward with improved or expanded services.
St. Vincent de Paul is one of 12 grant recipients. We we were awarded $8,400 to help fund a summer education program for 25 homeless children at our DePaul Apartments family residential shelter.
The 2009 LEAP Grants, totaling $250,000, recognized 12 outstanding educational support programs for 950 at-risk children in grades K-5 that occur during "out of school time," either before school, after school, summertime and/or weekends.
