The Lily Housing Corporation provides temporary housing for single, employed, female heads of households and their children. Qualified applicants will be offered temporary housing for a period of time (generally from 6 months to 18 months). The Lily Housing Corporation will take a holistic approach to meeting the needs of our participants. We will focus on bringing restoration and order to the lives of our participants through effective, practical strategies designed to address their holistic needs. We understand that the needs of our program participants are complex and compounded by an acute need for debt relief and strategic personal financial planning assistance. Therefore, the head of household will receive a range of services through our Success Program to include the following three components: 1) personal financial/credit counseling; 2) career counseling; and 3) professional individual/family counseling. Our primary objective is to meet the needs of participants by providing safe and adequate temporary housing while secondarily providing a support system of holistic services designed to provide information, to sharpen skills, confidence and to restore a greater sense of self-worth. Each program participant will meet bi-monthly with a Program Coordinator who will assist in a smooth transition throughout their tenure in a Lily Home and finally into permanent housing of their own.
