In its first two years in Lawrence, a respite house operated by Artists Helping the Homeless has served dozens of men experiencing homelessness. The organization has also opened a second location to provide additional support for individuals getting back on their feet.

Since opening in 2019, the Kairos House, a respite house at 1209 Randall Road operated by Artists Helping the Homeless, has served 75 homeless men, plus eight more who are currently living there, AHH President Kar Woo said during a Criminal Justice Coordinating Council meeting on Tuesday.
