Let's make this the biggest and best giving day yet!  

Lydia’s House of Hope is designed to empower our residents, guiding them towards a brighter future with accountability, support, and responsibility. 

The journey to create Lydia’s House of Hope began with years of working with the homeless and understanding the struggles faced by many families, especially women and children. As we served meals at Crossroads House
and provided essentials like socks, shoes, and food to those living in tents and cars, we noticed a recurring theme: these are families in crisis. Many of those we helped were from the same family, highlighting the issue of generational poverty. They were born into it and didn’t know how to escape it.

Determined to make a difference, we embarked on a long but worthwhile journey to establish a residential housing facility for families, starting with women and children. Our goal was to help them get back on their feet and provide the tools and support needed to break the cycle of poverty. Through community support, fundraising, and hard work, Lydia’s House of Hope became a reality, opening its doors to the first residents in January 2017.

The house is named in the loving memory of Lydia Valdez, a courageous and special little girl who lost her battle with cancer. Despite her struggle, 9-year-old Lydia remained determined, upbeat, and full of compassion. Her dad and stepmom helped bring this house to life in her honor, embodying the bravery she showed. At Lydia’s House of Hope, we strive to help others change their lives with the same bravery, determination, and honesty, one family at a time.
