Housing is the Lighthouse's top initiative for the 2022 year. Our funding goal will fund all four (4) major projects which will add 52 beds, as well as kickstart the addition of 36 Affordable Homes.

 

Here is how you can help: 

 

1,000 People Giving $100/mo. = $100,000/mo.

​

It's that simple! With your help, the Lighthouse can be closer to having a bed for every single homeless person in the City of Tulare! 

​

​

Note: Donated funds will be used to acquire factory-built housing, site-development, license and permitting, landscaping, and furnishing homes. Remaining donation will be used to support operations.

 

​

We are seeking investors for Affordable Housing developments. If you are interested please contact us at (559) 582-3871.
