About us.
We are a team that believes in not just seeing a problem but being apart of the solution in whatever way we can. We are dedicated to seeing change!
Lift CDC is a local non profit organization that provides housing options and essential life skills training, for youth aging out of the foster care system. We assist with connecting them with mentors to empower their journey toward independence. Our program supports those new to independent living who need minimal supervision but benefit from accountability. Through a shared housing program, it reduces living costs, making housing more affordable and achievable, positioning them for better outcomes as they learn independent living skills and we assist them in identifying and pursuing their goals.
At Lift, the participants are provided opportunities to engage in activities to prepare for a successful transition into adulthood and give them tools to help overcome some of life’s challenges.
Lift homes are in residential neighborhoods near public transportation to support ease of access to travel for school, employment and personal affairs. Each home is fully furnished, set up as dorm style living. We have on site laundry for most locations, Wi-Fi, and transportation assistance for (church functions, work, school, grocery runs, medical appointments, and volunteering in the community)
WHO WE ARE.
WHAT WE BELIEVE.
“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” - James 1:27
statement of faith
We believe in the truth of God’s Word as the foundation for how we live, meditating on it day and night so that we may be careful to live according to all that is written, as taught in Joshua 1:8. We believe in the transforming power of Jesus Christ, who brings restoration, healing, and freedom, as reflected in Isaiah 61. We are committed to living and changing lives through minds that are renewed in purpose according to Romans 12:1–2, and to sharing God’s love through patient and thoughtful discipleship, as commissioned in Matthew 28:19–20. We believe that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, as stated in John 14:6, and that caring for the vulnerable, including orphans and those in need, as expressed in James 1:27, is at the heart of Father God and therefore ours as well. This is why and how we serve our community.
Guided by 1 Timothy 2:3–6, which affirms that God desires all people to be saved, we are committed to serving all individuals with dignity and ensuring access to support and opportunity.
WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT.
Imagine if we could do something to reduce poverty, homelessness, suicide, trafficking, substance abuse, prostitution, government dependency, unemployment, and unhealthy generational cycles… we can with Lift CDC.
