St. Elizabeth Lodge is a program for single moms and their children who are experiencing a time of transition and need a soft place to fall. Our families come from situations of eviction, domestic violence, family break-up, couch surfing, or reunification. All of our families are unique in their circumstances, but all share in experiencing a difficult transition. Residents at St. Elizabeth Lodge enjoy an apartment to call home, the safety of a secure facility, and the support of others in a similar situation.

These are some of the things that residents of St. Elizabeth Lodge achieve during their stay:

1. A safe and healthy environment for me and my children
2. A deeper relationship with God
3. Career Assessment
4. Savings
5. Healing of strained family relationships
