Housing Referrals
Participants needing housing are referred to local agencies which provide permanent, emergency, transitional and/or supportive housing services. LRM supports the "Housing First" model and works diligently to assist participants in obtaining safe, affordable housing for themselves and their families. Through partnerships with other local non-profit, social service and faith-based agencies, LRM has been able to assist many with getting the help they need.
DADpals
"...In reality, a mother's love is important and special, but having an active father figure plays an equally important role in the healthy development of a child." DADpals hosts meet and greets where people fill out questionnaires, play games and get matched. At that point, a dad chooses a pal. From there, DADpals hosts a commitment ceremony and other events for participants to enjoy as a new match. There will be game nights, social events, etc. to facilitate healthy and constructive opportunities for our matches to bond.
