LGSH solves a significant barrier for student parents: stable and affordable housing. Along with 45 two- and three-bedroom apartments, LGSH provides comprehensive programming to meet immediate needs and to help student parents develop strategies for long-term success. Services include residential housing and rental assistance; food and hygiene assistance through donations; case management and wrap around services including home visits, academic advising and career support, peer support through campus meetings and participant activities, referral to other community resources as appropriate, and completion/monitoring of Needs Assessment/Self-Sufficiency Matrices. LGSH provides academic advising and services with a tailored approach, beyond what post-secondary institutions are able to deliver. Each student parent works with a case manager to develop a sense of empowerment with their circumstances. The case manager guides them as they cultivate an understanding of how their past, present, and future decisions impact their lives and the lives of their children.
