Luke Redus and his wife Karla started giving back to those experiencing homelessness in the Conroe area in 2006 by handing out breakfast tacos in downtown Conroe. Now, Luke is the CEO and Karla is the director of empowerment services of Compassion United, a nonpro t helping homeless people in the Mont- gomery County area, which just broke ground on the second building of its campus, Miracle City, a ve-acre transitional community for homeless people. Diving in deeper The day center is set to include a commercial kitchen, a computer room and a medical clinic. The kitchen will provide more people experienc- ing homelessness with food, and the computer room will help them apply for jobs and navigate life on the internet, Luke Redus said. Compassion United will partner with Interfaith Community Clinic to provide the on-site medical
clinic, he said. Miracle City opened in August 2022 with its rst building, which o ers church services every morning Monday through Friday, Luke Redus said. What else? The new day center will increase the number of people the organization is able to impact, he said. Luke Redus said over the course of the past 14 years, the nonpro t has helped over 300 people who have come through its transitional program. When Compassion United completes its next phase of more transitional homes, he said it will triple Miracle City’s residential capacity. The backstory The organization started in 2009, Luke Redus said. In February 2019, Conroe City Council voted to convey ve acres of land to Compassion United for its Miracle City campus, according to its website.
