A Sparrow Program
The LifeChange Program
A year-long, whole-person journey out of homelessness — walked alongside a community that believes in you.
The LifeChange Program walks single parents and families facing homelessness through a year-long journey toward lasting transformation. Participants live in homes provided through partner churches while receiving mentorship across four areas of life — physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual.
It’s a hand up, not a handout. Through weekly financial coaching, peer support, and group mentoring, families set goals, rebuild stability, and rediscover their God-given worth — supported every step of the way by people who believe in them.

In their words
It’s a hand up, not a handout. You only get out of it what you put into it — and by the end I had achieved goals I set many years ago.
I learned how to accept my past, and realized how freeing it could be to let it go.
I had been stuck in survival mode for years. The program gave me and my children a chance to breathe, get organized, and focus on goals and dreams.
