CAMPAIGN RESULTS: Justice Matters secured commitments from our Mayor and County Chair to end chronic homelessness through Built for Zero. By May 2025, 121 people moved from the streets into homes — and no one died last winter.

CAMPAIGN RESULTS: Justice Matters won a dedicated source of revenue for the Lawrence Affordable Housing Trust. This has created 810 units and counting.

NEWEST ISSUE: In Douglas County, over 4,000 children and 24,000 adults face lifelong health risks from childhood trauma. Justice Matters is working to prevent this harm and build resilience where trauma has already occurred.

CAMPAIGN RESULTS: Justice Matters won the creation of the Treatment & Recovery Center, which last year handled 3,683 mental health crises — serving 1,582 people.

Justice Matters will be holding listening sessions this fall. If you would like to participate in one, please contact Ann Spangler at [email protected].

We are so glad you are interested in making justice roll down like a mighty river in Lawrence/Douglas County.

"Our scriptures speak of a powerful, loving God when matters of justice arise. So, let us go upstream - as one body - and trust in God to help along the way."
