Luke's House
TRANSITIONAL HOMELESSNESS RECOVERY PROGRAM


In November 2000, our transitional housing program for single men became the first transitional shelter for men in the Lansing area.


WHAT IS A TRANSITIONAL HOUSING PROGRAM?
Transitional housing provides a safe and nurturing communal living environment where participants will receive supportive services assisting them in achieving economic stability and independence.


WHAT TRANSITIONAL HOUSING IS NOT:
RENTAL HOUSING - By enrolling in the program, participants do not enter into a landlord-tenant relationship with Loaves and Fishes.


ELIGIBILITY:
Participants must be:
  • A single man
  • Working or in school
  • Sober for at least 30 days
  • Willing to make a life change



WHAT DOES TRANSITIONAL HOUSING HAVE TO OFFER?
  • A Private, Safe Communal Living Environment
  • Free Cable, Phone, and Laundry on site
  • Free Personal Needs once per month
  • Case Management Services
  • Monthly Individual Progress Meetings
  • Weekly House Meetings
