Lafayette Ready to Tackle Housing Issues at First People’s Summit

In the vibrant town of Lafayette, an exciting event is just around the corner—the first-ever People’s Summit on Housing! Designed to address the escalating housing crisis in the Lafayette-Oxford-University community, this summit promises a day filled with discussions, workshops, and a chance for the community to voice their concerns about housing.

Get Involved This Saturday!

The summit is set for Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at St. Peter’s Church located at 113 S. 9th Street. To make the day even more engaging, there will be a lunchtime film screening at the nearby Burns-Belfry Museum and Multicultural Center at 710 Jackson Avenue East. It’s a perfect opportunity to come together, share experiences, and find solutions.

LOUPS: A Community Coalition

Organized by the Lafayette-Oxford-University People’s Summit (LOUPS), a coalition that brings together individuals and organizations dedicated to elevating everyday voices in the community, this summit aims to foster conversations around equitable, sustainable, and affordable housing. With local residents feeling the pinch from rising rents and limited choices in housing, the timing of this summit couldn’t be better!

What to Expect

Attendees can look forward to a lively day packed with both large and small group discussions, hands-on workshops, and insightful panel presentations. The summit’s organizers are keen on encouraging active participation from everyone, creating a space where personal housing stories can be shared and heard. Throughout the day, volunteers will be on hand to document these stories and the collective efforts of the participants.

Making Real Change

The grand finale of the day, however, will be the creation of a People’s Bill of Housing Rights. This document will encapsulate the community’s vision for housing justice and outline concrete steps that can be taken to ensure that all residents have access to safe and affordable housing. A collaborative effort like this highlights the importance of community involvement in tackling significant issues.

Free Registration and Family-Friendly Amenities

Best of all, registration for the summit is absolutely free! It’s open to all who want to make a difference in their community. Light refreshments will be served in the morning, with lunch provided for those who have registered to participate in the afternoon sessions. For families planning to attend, childcare services will also be offered, ensuring that everyone can join in without any worries.
