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.
Hamlet Homes flew through this project and went above and beyond. We thank them enough for their efforts! A special thanks to the Utah Professional Women in Building (PWB) who also took part in this project.
