St Vincent de Paul is one of the longest serving social charities in Louisville. We are located in the up-and-coming Shelby Park neighborhood.

The Waypoint House Youth Shelter contains 24-rooms specifically serving 18 -24 year olds and their children in crisis housing. Crisis housing is short-term, transitional housing for people who need a temporary place to stay before they enter permanent housing. The ultimate goal for the program is to arrive at self-sufficiency. Case management is required and available on site for each resident. Each resident has a private room and shares common areas including restrooms, lounges, computer area, kitchen, dining room and laundry facilities.
The Program Aide for Wayppoint House contributes to the program by supporting the Program Manager with various duties and responsibilities and by helping to maintain a safe and healthy environment for residents.
