About Lighthouse
LightHouse Women’s & Children’s Center provides temporary housing to women and children experiencing homelessness. Guests are offered a length of stay up to six months and are given the opportunity to get back on their feet in a peaceful environment that offers privacy, dignity and security.
Our 43-room facility is for both mothers with children and single women. We provide individual rooms with access to a private bathroom, shower, microwave, and small refrigerator and freezer. These rooms are flexible spaces which can accommodate larger families through adjoining doors. We do have several designated ADA compliant rooms for individuals with mobility needs.
