“Mr. Speaker, on April 20, Lotus House Shelter will have the grand opening of Lotus Village, a home for disadvantaged women and children that will offer a meaningful solution to prevent homelessness in my area of Miami-Dade County. Lotus House is dedicated to improving the lives of homeless women, youth, and children, providing support, education, tools, and resources that empower them to heal, learn, and blossom into who they are truly meant to be. Today, Lotus House shelters over 250 individuals on a daily basis, 680 annually, breaking the cycle of childhood abuse, domestic violence, and homelessness. The opening of the new home, Lotus Village, offers increased capacity, a neighborhood health clinic, a children's daycare center, and a wellness center. Lotus Village includes programs like child therapy, nurturing parenting classes, as well as training programs for life skills and job readiness. This safe haven is deeply integrated in the fabric of our community, and I am incredibly proud of the tireless work of all the volunteers of Lotus House Shelter in serving those in need reintegrate into society. ____________________”
