There are a lot of different circumstances that can bring a person to homelessness including job loss, lack of affordable housing, natural disasters, mental illness, and physical disability. A lot of the reasons people become homeless are because of situations they cannot control which doesn’t necessarily mean they have made poor choices. Some homeless people receive disability checks, but their income just isn’t enough for living expenses. Some people suffer from social anxiety and mental health issues that make it difficult to live in shelter. No matter the reason for their living situation, TLOT views all people as a child of God and worthy to be served.

​Homeless services include:

• Assistance in finding and securing affordable housing.
• Addressing immediate needs on the streets with blankets, coats, shoes, etc.
• Securing hotel arrangements during inclement weather.
• Purchasing bus tickets for people to relocate closer to a support system.
