Services We Provide
Lindsey House serves women with children who are experiencing situational homelessness. In addition to providing families a fully-furnished apartment, women participate in a series of curriculum focused on financial literacy, workplace proficiency and life skills. The curriculum takes one year to complete and families are able to live at Lindsey House up to two years as they build on and implement the lessons they’ve learned through the curriculum.
Our unique approach in providing supportive services allows each family to maximize their goal achievement. Each program participant meets one-on-one with a Program Services Coordinator to set goals and create an Individualized Service Plan.
Our goal is for program participants to:
stabilize employment
eliminate or significantly reduce debt
establish an emergency savings fund
learn to live within a budget
secure affordable housing
Lindsey House believes once a woman has secure and safe
housing for herself and her children, she can focus on
setting goals to radically change her family’s future.
