Lodi House Steps Towards Stability

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.

This is accomplished through the three stages of programming Lodi House offers:

Shelter Program:

4–6-month program focused on getting out of crisis, stabilizing family through daily routines, securing employment, and developing a personalized case plan to meet financial, family, and housing goals.

Transitional Housing Program:

1–2-year affordable housing program designed to increase graduate’s independence and responsibility while still providing a support network, case management, and accountability.

Lifetime Alumni Network:

Access for all Lodi House graduates to an expansive network of connections and resources including free therapy, financial coaching, employment referrals, community and the Lodi House Thrift Store.
