Overview of Lodges
Builders of Hope provides transitional living experiences in our Community Lodges. Each Lodge offers a unique aspect of community living. Lodge residents live and manage their home together, give each other support and companionship; drawing on resources of self, other lodge residents and professional wellness counselors as needed, empowering one another on their path to wellness and managing their mental health.
Our Lodges are shared by a group of 5-6 individuals. Living in a lodge is like living in an extended family. The peer support and self-reliance provide a unique opportunity for residents to function as a team and maintain a high level of personal independence. All individuals share responsibility for managing their own home.
The Lodge Group
The structure, stability, and the supportive co-creative relationship that is cultivated in our lodges provide the basic foundation for healthy living, community, and stability. Each lodge has a community space that is shared with a television and furniture, as well as common spaces of shared kitchen and bathrooms. Kitchen appliances and basic cooking accessories are provided in each lodge. Utilities are included with a lodge lease.
