Message from Executive Director:
LAMP is a homeless shelter located in Valdosta Georgia that services 8 counties. Lowndes, Brooks, Echols, Lanier, Cook, Tift, Colquitt, and Berrien. LAMP has been in existence since September 6, 1984. LAMP is the only shelter of its kind that houses men, women and families between Orlando Florida and Macon Georgia. LAMP is a housing 1st shelter which means our programs are designed to get you housed upon exiting the program. LAMP is a caring community of faith providing for the basic needs of homeless and hurting people in our community. We believe that all persons are created in the image of God. We operate on the premise that all of God’s children deserve food, clothing, shelter, and love.
What We Do
LAMP provides temporary emergency shelter to men, women, and families in Lowndes and surrounding counties. In addition to temporary housings, we provide wrap-around services that include case management and other treatment services.
HOMELESSNESS IS A COMPLICATED ISSUE. There is no one-size-fits-all solution that works for everyone. LAMP individually assesses each client's need, then develops a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of that person's homelessness.
