Residential Services
Every woman who is a part of the residential community of Lund Family Center faces a daunting array of challenging life circumstances. We employ a feminist approach to services provided on-site, staying mindful that our clients are also parents, with responsibility not only for their own self-care, but for the continuous needs of their children as well. Often they are parenting alone and have the added responsibility of work and/or school. They may be involved in complex relationship and family dynamics, and so whenever possible, we try to involve the partners, families and significant others in the work as well.
Glen Road
The Glen Road site offers residential treatment and programming. It is unique in in Vermont in that it is the only 
residential facility where teenage and young pregnant or parenting women may receive services for themselves and their children (under the age of 5) may remain with them during the process. The women and children have their own space, and live in suites with other mothers and children.
Independence Place
Independence Place is a Lund Family Center program that offers transitional housing in six individual studio apartments for single women, ages 16 to 21, who are pregnant or parenting a child under five. The program is a partnership with Burlington Housing Authority.
Subject to availability, Independence Place apartments are available to any qualifying young woman, whether or not she has participated in other Lund Family Center programs. To participate in Independence Place, young women must be working, pursuing their education, or enrolled in a job training program. Young women must commit to a year lease and may reside at Independence Place for up to two years.
In addition to housing, participants benefit from round the clock staff support and access to other Lund family support services including childcare, New Horizons Education Program and GED preparation, case management, life skills education, substance abuse recovery, and transportation assistance.
Through participation in the Independence Place program, residents greatly increase their independent living skills, their parenting skills, and ability to live in community. Residents have regular house meetings, share communal chores, come together for community dinners, and participate in different evening activities.
