The sponsor of this project was Lazarus House Ministries, a non-denominational faith-based organization that has opened avenues out of poverty for 23 years. This new building provides 20 one and two bedroom rental units for very low-income households. The sponsor is using the new program space in the building to provide services to residents as well as to nearby neighbors, including free medical and dental clinics, food programs, and job training and skills development. Almost 90% of Lazarus House program participants attain permanent employment.
