     Lighthouse for Broken Wings is a 501 ( C ) ( 3 ) nonprofit organization in Eastern Sussex County.
     The Lighthouse for Broken Wings addresses the critical needs of families,  children,  elders, and Individuals who are experiencing homelessness. Homelessness is not a disease. A society's homeless crisis derives from the shortage of housing, evictions, criminal background, lack of employment, minimal wages for employment, medical and mental health disorders, etc. Yes, there are other self barriers of destruction such as addictions and destructive behaviors.
    On the other hand, a natural disaster can destroy a home and/or employment such as the Covid-19 pandemics.   Many in our society is a paycheck from being homeless.
    Therefore, no one should judge a person who is pushing a shopping cart, sleeping in their cars, and dumpster diving, it may be you one day.
  The funding will provide food, drinking water, blankets, clothes, shoes, and most important of all provide temporary and permanent supportive housing in the dangerous seasons of the year.

Lighthouse for Broken Wings has three active programs to address those individuals experiencing homelessness.  A.  "A Sheltering Heart" is the temporary winter emergency shelter  B. Summer Program called Helping Hands for families. C. Transitional Housing

An unexpected event occurred from 2019 to the present; The COVID-19 Pandemic has increased the population of individuals and families in the past two years.  The housing opportunities changed the opportunities for the people by an increase in costs and qualifications.  Therefore,  many individuals and families are in temporary housing, and rise in occupants in locations unsuitable for living. 

Lighthouse for Broken Wings encourages clients to increase their skills, education, and choice of employment. In addition, we are resourcing out to the appropriate organizations for additional support of the clients. Therefore, various organizations, education, and occupations will appropriately address the client's needs.
