BOSSIER, La. – U.S. Representative Mike Johnson (LA-04) today announced that the Kennedy Center of Louisiana in Shreveport is receiving over $400,000 to support housing for victims of human trafficking. This grant will be used for the implementation of SOS II, a program to provide safe transitional housing, mental health services, food and health care, and other services to help approximately thirty trafficking victims in Northwest Louisiana.

“Human trafficking is a heinous crime that impacts communities around the nation and Shreveport is no exception. These resources will go a long way towards helping poor and vulnerable victims, as we continue our work in Congress to end this predatory practice and bring traffickers to justice,” Johnson said.
