Who we are
Neighbors, not statistics
The Light House is a homeless prevention support center serving Annapolis and Anne Arundel County with shelter, food, coaching and careers.
Our mission
To rebuild lives with compassion by providing shelter and services that prevent homelessness and empower people toward employment, housing and self-sufficiency.
We meet people at the hardest moment of their lives and stay with them long after the crisis passes. That means a warm bed tonight, a caseworker who knows your name, training that leads to a real paycheck, and a community that keeps showing up.
