The mission of the Lodi House program is to provide compassionate support, counseling and shelter to homeless women and children to empower them to live courageous, healthy and independent lives. Our unique program assists single mothers with finding employment, developing a monthly budget and savings plan, and working towards finding affordable housing.
Lodi House offers a structured home environment that focuses on building healthy relationships, providing parenting tools, goal setting, accountability and connection to community resources. All guests of our program participate in chore assignments, case management, weekly house meetings, and community living.
Lodi House understands that lasting stability for those coming out of crisis does not happen overnight. Mothers arriving at Lodi House are not merely rebuilding their lives by securing employment, acquiring life skills, saving money, and eventually securing housing. They often emerge from backgrounds entrenched in generational cycles of trauma, profoundly affecting both them and their children. Their journey involves a deliberate and gradual process of rebuilding relationships with their children and transforming their family dynamics from turmoil and survival to safety and healing by breaking old patterns. Because of this, our vision is to allow mothers to grow and evolve in their independence by providing graduated levels of support and accountability through each stage of their journey toward independence.
