Resurrection House is a program to change lives, not just a place to live.

Families know they are safe and secure in our beautiful, furnished 2- and 3-bedroom apartments. Since 1987, more than 500 families have completed our intensive, long-term program. Most of these families work and attend school, graduating from Resurrection House into solid careers, into permanent housing, and into bright futures for their children and themselves.

A typical participant is one of our moms who came into our program with a 3-month old daughter and no formal education. Since entering Resurrection House, she has become a Licensed Practical Nurse and continues at St. Petersburg College to become a Registered Nurse. At the same time, she volunteers, publishes a participant newsletter, and is very active in her faith life. Another participant has paid off all debt, completed Pinellas Technical Education Center as a Licensed Pharmacy Technician, works in a major hospital, and continues her education at St. Petersburg College. She came to us broke and living in her parents home in a very negative environment. Our program works!

Success means
permanent, positive change,
not a quick fix.
