More on the New Life Center

The New Life Center is located at 411 East Landry Street, Opelousas, Louisiana.

The project just completed encompasses the renovation of the fourth floor of the New Life Center, expanding the facility capacity by 20 additional motel style rooms with private bathrooms, to provide transitional housing for homeless women and children. Four of these newly renovated rooms will be used to house homeless female veterans. Additionally, the project included the renovation of space on the first floor to create four new staff offices.

Specific details of the project include the installation of a sprinkler system; individual room A/C and heating units; electrical wiring; vinyl flooring; fire alarm system; bathroom ventilation refurbishing the exterior fire escape and exterior doors; replacement of ceilings; repair and repainting of all walls and doors; installation of two large dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the facility; and the creation of two handicap bathrooms.
