Lydia's House

About: Supportive and stable environment for women and children in crisis. Lydias House is a home for women and children who are in transition or crisis. Some guests have been homeless. Others are refugees from other countries. One or two volunteers also live in the house. We all share much of life with one another, including space and many meals. By having our lives overlap in this way we can support one another and learn new ways of being.

The mission of Lydias House is to provide a supportive and stable environment for women and children in crisis. Each guest will be helped to move into long term housing at the end of her stay; however, housing at Lydias House is as stable as possible in nature. It is a place of hope and healing as well as a springboard from which guests can seek training, new skills, and work that will provide for their needs. Women live in community, share life and meals with one another, and are encouraged in their personal spiritual journeys.
