Head Start Fatherhood Initiative

LifeHouse

LifeHouse (est. 2007). Our shelters for women offer safe, nurturing 12-step home environments focused on recovery and stabilization. Residents with histories of substance abuse, domestic violence, incarceration and homelessness receive supportive, wrap-around services that promote recovery and aid in developing the skills and stability needed to regain their independence, reunite with their families, and progress to permanent employment and housing.

LifeHouse staff and volunteers ensure that house rules are followed and a zero-tolerence policy for drugs, alcohol, and violent behaviors is enforced. As part of the recovery process, residents are required to secure employment and pay a housing subsidy fee.

Support services include information, referral, education, shelter, permanent housing and prevention services to support self-sufficiency.

  • 8 clients have enrolled in college

  • 5 clients obtained their GED

  • 50 (83%) of the 60 residents who have left LifeHouse have moved on to transitional or permanent housing.
