Their mission is to help individuals and families achieve economic well-being by providing high-impact, relationship-based programming and by addressing systemic barriers to their success. LifeWiseSTL was formerly known as Kingdom House.
Also works with The Senior Resiliency Fund (SRF) which is a multi-part program for lower-income older adults to gain access to valuable information, cash for saving and to grow relationships with the community.
Student projects address this.
Will discuss further at initial site visit; project topic will be determined with Samantha at initial site visit.
