Care Corps, Inc. has been providing basic needs for over 50 years beginning with churches providing clothing and food to those in need which led to Low Income Ministry, the local food pantry and thrift store. In 1996, Care Corps, Inc. began serving the homeless population. Both service providers continued to build their services by adding programs that assist the homeless and near homeless. In 2018, the two non-profits merged becoming Care Corps’ LifeHouse. We’re devoted to aiding individuals in their journey out of poverty. No one walks this path alone.
Care Corps’ LifeHouse provides shelter, homeless prevention services, as well as five supportive housing programs. In addition, we own and operate ten 2- bedroom and five 3-bedroom apartments for families with income up to 30% of AMI. We provide wrap around case management services and life skills in all of our programs. We also provide food security to the community through our food pantry as well as operate a thrift store, Thriftology, which is open to the public for shopping and offers vouchers for those needing clothing, housewares, or hygiene items at no cost to the household.
Care Corps’ LifeHouse is governed by a Board of Directors made up of distinguished community members, including individuals who have practical lived experience. The non-profit is led by a CEO, followed by a COO and a Financial Coordinator. The emergency shelter and prevention team consists of Case Managers, a Life Skills & Workforce Development Coordinator, and shelter staff who serve as security 24-hours a day. The Food Pantry and Thriftology each have staff members. Lastly, there is a Property Manager who dedicates his time to the LifeHouse Apartments. Volunteers at each location are a vital part of our team.
