A Mission to Serve 

At Long Beach Rescue Mission, we provide a safe haven for women and children facing abuse, addiction, financial hardship, and abandonment. Lydia House has long been a sanctuary for those in need, offering shelter, love, and support to rebuild lives. 

However, with nearly 45% of the homeless population in our community being women and children, our current capacity of 50 beds is simply not enough to meet the need. Every day, we turn away families desperate for help. 

We are launching a capital campaign to expand Lydia House, more than doubling our capacity to ensure no woman or child is ever turned away. This project is more than an expansion; it's a chance to create a sanctuary where Christ’s love is felt in every space. 

The Need 

The need for expanded services at Lydia House has never been greater. With limited capacity, many women and children are left vulnerable to further trauma. By increasing our capacity and enhancing facilities, we will offer more women and children a path to stability and hope. 

The Vision 

This expansion is not just about increasing the number of beds; it’s about creating a nurturing environment where women and children can experience the transformative love of Christ. Key features of the expansion include: 

  • 60 new beds – Doubling our current capacity to provide shelter for more women and children. 

  • Multipurpose room – A space for dining, fellowship, and worship, fostering community and spiritual nourishment. 

  • Outdoor seating patios – Peaceful areas for reflection and connection with God and one another. 

  • Rooftop deck – A sanctuary where our residents can feel the presence of God, offering a moment of peace above the struggles of daily life.
