New Beginnings of Lake County, Florida

Who We Are & Serve

We are a faith-based, Not-For-Profit organization in South Lake County helping the HOMELESS learn how to live a resposible life by making good choices and to recover from their hurts, habits & hang ups. We provide a home, food, clothing, professional counseling, job opportunities, hope, and encouragement.

How We Are Different

An emergency shelter must, by law, take anyone into the facility. They typically provide food, clothing, and a bed. The individual is usually in the facility for only a short time. New Beginnings takes in men, women, and children in need. They are carefully screened through police and medical records. Relatively healthy adults who have adequate criminal backgrounds are acceptable. Most importantly, they must agree to our admissions policy. They include: no alcohol or drugs at any time after moving in; and no sexual reading or activity. The house manager at New Beginnings monitors all activities and any medicines, and insures that all established policies are adhered.
