What You’ll Need to Apply

Before beginning your journey at Lighthouse, there are just a few things we need to help us understand your situation and prepare the path ahead. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything — we work with each individual case-by-case.

✅ Required Documents Checklist:

  • Identification
    Government-issued ID (or Department of Corrections number)

  • Legal or Reentry Documents (if applicable)
    Probation, parole, or court paperwork
    Upcoming court dates or conditions of release

  • Emergency Contact Info
    Name, relationship, and phone number of someone we can reach

  • Medical / Mental Health Info
    List of medications
    Mental health or physical condition history

Note:

If you’re missing one or more items, don’t panic — we’re here to support you. Many of our community members come to us with incomplete paperwork, or nothing at all. Our team can help you figure out the next steps.

Program Fees & Financial Support

Lighthouse charges a program fee of $105 per week, which covers housing, utilities, peer support, and structured programming.

What this fee includes:

  • Safe, sober housing in a supportive recovery environment

  • Utilities, basic household needs, and facility maintenance

  • Access to in-house programming and structured community support

If you’re concerned about affordability, you’re not alone. We work with every individual to find a solution. You may be eligible for:

  • Partial assistance through reentry programs or referrals

  • Payment plans or temporary deferrals

  • Help applying for SNAP or other benefits during your stay

We never want cost to be the barrier between you and recovery.
