KANSAS CITY, Mo. — November 13, 2018 - The Saint Luke’s Foundation announced today plans to begin construction on thirty new single-family homes designed to enhance and revitalize the neighborhood that sits just west of Saint Luke’s Hospital and south of Saint Luke’s Bishop Spencer Place between 44th and 45th Streets.  The homes will feature state of the art amenities and modern conveniences while still reflecting the classic arts and craftsman style of the area and are designed to attract families and working professionals who will invest and contribute to the local community.

*As the location is an active warehouse, anyone under the age of 18 will need to have a parent/guardian sign the policies and waiver form. Children attending will need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian during the time of the event.

Russ Tuttle - President and Founder

Russ’ primary strengths are communication, leadership, team development, and compassion.

Russ is currently using his strengths to bring awareness to the crisis of human trafficking through The Stop Trafficking Project, which includes serving as the director for BeAlert and as a founding board member for Kansas City Street Hope.
 
BeAlert is the awareness and prevention strategy of The Stop Trafficking Project. The primary method of implementation is through presentations designed to 1) educate and empower students and 2) guide adults from awareness to action. A commitment to collaborate allows for presentations that provide insight into ‘the problem’ of domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) and at the same time offer effective ‘solutions’. These presentations have impact in a variety of settings.

Russ grew up for much of his childhood and teenage years in India. This created within him the drive to serve those who are unable to help themselves.

Russ brings 29 years of passion and experience in the not-for-profit world to The Stop Trafficking Project team and is the primary communicator of the vision and mission.
