About Lydia's House of Hope:

Our transitional-living program is for women and children who have been affected by homelessness due to poverty, domestic violence, addiction, and generational trauma.

Lydia's House of Hope provides a highly structured faith-based program for one year. Single women as well as mother's with children are provided with:

• Case management
• Nurse advocacy
• Occupational therapy
• Mental health counseling
• Substance abuse counseling
• Trauma therapy
• And over 50 continuous life skills classes to include parenting, nutrition, work readiness, time management, finance, and so much more!

Lydia's House of Hope believes a holistic program helps families to heal as well as provides the skills necessary to transition from homelessness to wholeness.

We invite you to contact us or volunteer and learn how you along with our community can transform the lives women, mothers and children. 

We are pleased to introduce Grace House, the newest LHOH step up program especially for semi-independent living. We give women the skills to end generational trauma and we stay connected with them on their journey to wholeness.
