Non-profit member says solving NELA poverty problem will take more than just talking
MONROE, La. (KNOE) - According to a United Way study, the number of households in Louisiana living in poverty rose by 15% from 2010 to 2022. The study found one of the main perpetrators of growing financial struggle is the cost of living.
The United Way says Louisiana’s basic cost of living for a family of four with an infant and a pre-schooler was more than $84,000 per year in 2023.
New study finds growing economic hardship in Louisiana despite rising wages
Billy Varner is the director of the Renewal Center in Monroe, a non-profit organization that provides help to anyone who is struggling.
“They’re having to choose, ‘Do I want housing? Do I want to eat? Do I want to have a quality of life outside of just housing?’ And it’s difficult, and the choices that they make often time is, ‘I can’t afford it,” Varner says.
Aaron and Heidi are a deaf couple who live on the streets of Monroe. They are two of the many people the Renewal Center helps.
“[I’ve lived] in Monroe for two years. I’m homeless,” Aaron says. “I hope you support. Thanks for God [and] bless all in the world. [It] makes me happy.”
Varner says the growing poverty rate in Northeast Louisiana does not surprise him.
“It’s really because of a lack of education in the community that they really just don’t know the magnitude of homelessness and how it can and how it is really is impacting our community,” Varner says.
Varner says simply talking about poverty is not enough to fix the problem, but says the community can come together to make a real difference in the lives of those struggling in Northeast Louisiana.
