ST ANNE'S CENTER

ST. ANNE'S CENTER, DOING BUSINESS AS LANTERN HOUSE, EXISTS TO AID THE POOR, NEEDY, AND HOMELESS BY PROVIDING THEM FOOD, SHELTER, AND CRITICAL EMERGENCY SERVICES. OUR GOAL IS TO TRANSITION RESIDENTS FROM SHELTER TO HOUSING; ENCOURAGING THEIR SENSE OF INDEPENDENCE, SELF-SUFFICIENCY, AND SELF-CON? DENCE. WE ARE COMMITTED TO CARRY OUT THIS MISSION WHILE TREATING THOSE WHO COME TO US WITH COMPASSION, DIGNITY, AND RESPECT. THROUGH THIS LAST YEAR, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE SHELTER AND FOOD TO ANYONE WHO HAS ENTERED THROUGH OUR DOORS AND HELP TRANSITION HOUSEHOLDS FROM HOMELESSNESS INTO PERMANENT HOUSING. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE SEEN AN INCREASE IN SERVICES AND ARE CONTINUING TO KEEP OUR DOORS OPEN, WE HAVE SEEN A DECREASE IN BOTH CASH AND IN-KIND SUPPORT DUE TO THE RISE IN THE COST OF LIVING AND THE OVERALL IMPACT OF IN?ATION. LANTERN HOUSE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A LEADER IN BOTH LOCAL AND STATE LEVEL HOMELESS ADVOCACY AND SYSTEM COORDINATION. WE ARE DEDICATED TO THE LIFE, HEALTH, AND SAFETY OF ALL WHILE CREATING NEW, POSITIVE PATHWAYS OUT OF HOMELESSNESS.
