Lafayette s Faith House saw a 70% increase in service requests during lockdown Even while the state was facing a public health emergency in the form of COVID-19, there was a shadow pandemic behind closed doors during the lockdown. Lafayette s Faith House saw a 70% increase in the number of people seeking domestic violence services during 2020 s COVID-19 lockdown, according to data from Crystal Scrantz, the organization s assistant director. Faith House also saw an increase in the severity of cases. Many of the survivors reported that the abuse had been verbal, emotional, or had episodes of extreme control before the pandemic. These individuals were coming in with injuries from being severely beaten as their first physical incident, Scrantz said in a statement provided through a spokesperson. We saw many cases in which the escalation of abuse was extremely quick.

UPDATE: Acadiana comes through to help the homeless

and last updated 2021-02-25 12:19:12-05 Last week, when the record-busting cold blew through Acadiana, the Acadiana Regional Coalition on Homeless and Housing (ARCH) reached out to our community for help. Within a few days, they d raised $10,000 and we reported that the Stuller Foundation had offered to match donations from then on. And since then, Acadiana stepped in and donated more than $31,000 to help the homeless weather the storm. With the Stuller Foundation s matches, ARCH received almost $63,000. When Stuller offered their match, ARCH needed about $30,000. ARCH has been stretched to the maximum already because of COVID, followed by two hurricanes. Because of social distancing requirements, the number of shelter beds available for Acadiana neighbors has been drastically reduced. At the same time, job loss and layoffs have increased the number of homeless in our area.
