About Open Door Mission Lydia House

Open Door Mission Lydia House is a shelter providing critical help and support to individuals and families in need. The staff are described as going above and beyond, changing lives and saving lives. They offer shelter, food, and hygiene to those without a place to stay, including families and immigrants. The program can help people turn their lives around, with success stories of guests getting back on their feet, enrolling in college, and finding stability. Staff provide help, love, and support to those in desperate situations, even offering warm cups of coffee to people on the streets. However, there are serious concerns raised by some guests. A significant problem is the separation of families into different buildings, which is greatly affecting them, especially when a family member is pregnant or a young child is involved. There is also a complaint about a reception staff member being difficult, not listening, and exhibiting racist behavior. Guests call daily with questions about lodging and bunk assignments, seeking to speak with the director for assistance. The shelter is a place where people seek family unity, safety from the harsh weather, and protection from those who might take advantage of the vulnerable. While many express extreme gratitude for the opportunities and lifesaving aid, others highlight areas where help and communication are urgently needed.
