Independence Place is a partnership between the Lund Family Center and the Burlington Housing Authority 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.  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 and Learning Edge educational programs, 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.
