What is the Lifehouse Community?
Construction Has Begun! The Lifehouse Community project is an innovative approach to tackling housing insecurity by providing safe, supportive environments for individuals in need. The community will consist of ten homes, each with a maximum of one resident. Our mission is to not only provide safe housing but also to provide resources to promote individuals' well-being and empower them to achieve their goals.
We understand that transitional periods in life can be challenging, which is why we will be offering The Lifehouse Community - a one-year transitional housing program. Our program is designed to assist and strengthen individuals who are seeking to get out of homelessness, those who are being released from incarceration for nonviolent and non-sexual offenses, and those who are working through the Nolan County Drug Court program. Our team is committed to offering supportive services, including case management and job readiness training, to ensure our residents are set up for success.
Applicants will undergo a thorough application and review process before being accepted into the Lifehouse Community.
