The mission of the Family Support Center's LifeStart Village is to move single parents with children from dependency to self-sufficiency. In FSC's LifeStart Village, single parents and their children move from homelessness or near homelessness into safe, stable housing where they develop the necessary skills to create a stable, nurturing environment.
In the dorm-like Phase I, and under the direction of a full-time director, the parents learn to become self-sufficient. They receive Life Focus training, parent education, financial budgeting education, are assisted in completing their GED, and acquiring and maintaining adequate employment.
Upon completion of Phase I, parents have the opportunity to graduate to a self-sufficient rental townhome or cottage, Phase II.
Big thanks to Wasatch Paint for generously donating their time and resources to help out at LifeStart Village! With the help of a grant from Utah's Professional Women in Building, they are working to paint all of the exterior units and give these homes a fresh new look. We are grateful for their support in helping HomeAid provide a safe and welcoming community for the residents!
