LOTUS HOUSE SHELTER CELEBRATES SECOND ANNIVERSARY WITH OPENING OF RESOURCE CENTER
SUNDAY, MARCH 30TH, Noon TO 4 PM
LOTUS HOUSE WOMEN’S SHELTER
217 NW 15TH STREET
OVERTOWN, MIAMI
Lotus House was established in March 2006 to provide shelter, sanctuary and support to women who are homeless, whether due to domestic violence, untreated medical or mental health issues, disabilities, loss of employment or other economic reasons. Just a year later, we opened our “maternity wing” to serve homeless women who are pregnant and their infants. On this, our second birthday, we are proud to announce the grand opening of a long awaited community resource center that will enable us to expand our programming and services at the shelter and for the women and children in our community.
With comprehensive support services and access to a wide range of resources, Lotus House is not a typical short term shelter, but a place where the minds, bodies and spirits of women most in need are nurtured and supported to empower them to improve the quality of their lives on every level, achieve greater self sufficiency, and transition to permanent homes. More than 175 women have been served and are the proud mothers to more than 20 children, with more on the way.
The Lotus House is operated by The Sundari Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-denominational, public charity dedicated to the education, advancement and social inclusion of poor, disadvantaged and homeless women and children.
