Seeds of Faith, Inc

About Seeds of Faith and Lydia’s House of Hope:

Lydia’s House of Hope is a transitional housing program for woman and children in crisis. This 365-day program provides the physical, mental, emotional, and foundational life skills necessary for each woman and child that enters our home to live independently outside of it. This program is not a shelter, nor a rehab. It is a program dedicated to leading these women into a life of sustainable independence by giving them the tools and support necessary to change their lives. This is the program that brings the Homeless to Wholeness….one woman, one child, and one family at a time.
