Our

Mission & Vision

To promote safety, stability, and self-sufficiency by providing housing, education, and recovery support for underserved populations including veterans, the homeless, senior citizens, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals with disabilities or justice-involved histories. Our mission is rooted in dignity, compassion, and the belief that every life can be rebuilt with hope and purpose.
We envision a compassionate and inclusive world where every person, regardless of circumstance has access to housing, healing, and opportunity. Guiding Lighthouse seeks to build safe, supportive, and accessible communities that empower veterans, seniors, families, and individuals in recovery to thrive. By addressing homelessness, trauma, and reentry barriers, we strive to turn despair into hope and brokenness into belonging.
