Our Approach

LSS connects people with the support they need, no matter their background, circumstances, or stage in life.

Social work is about making connections between individuals and resources.

Our programs and services are designed to flexibly meet people where they are, ensuring that a child in need of a safe home, an individual facing addiction, a family navigating disability services, or a refugee building a new life all receive the specialized support they deserve.

You can Heal.

You Are Valued.

You will Thrive.

Connecting People with Possibility

We link individuals to the resources they need, bridging the space between crisis and compassion, and between short-term relief and long-term growth.

Wherever someone is on their journey, we meet them there with support tailored to their needs.

Supporting Every Life Stage

Whether it's a child in search of safety, a person rebuilding through an addiction, a family navigating disability care, or a refugee acclimating to a new community -- each story is met with dignity, expertise, and heart.

Our programs adapt flexibly to meet those we serve, providing specialized support grounded in respect and empowerment.

Driving Impact through Partnership

LSS stands at the intersection of personal need and public systems.

We collaborate with government agencies, schools, healthcare providers, faith communities, and nonprofit partners, working together to maximize reach and drive meaningful outcomes.

Our approach is proactive and adaptive, aligning our services with evolving community needs and funding landscapes.

Funding that Sustains Our Mission

Our impact is made possible by a diverse, sustainable funding base. We receive support through:

  • Government programs at federal, state, county, and local levels (including Medicaid waivers, HUD programs, and justice system initiatives)
  • Business partners and philanthropic foundations
  • Private donors and community organizations
  • Annual distributions from the LSS Foundation

This multifaceted support ensures we can deliver high-quality care while expanding access where it’s needed most.
