Why: Lighthouse of Oakland County helps more than 11,000 individuals move from crisis towards self-sufficiency each year. This is accomplished through its food pantry and crisis resolution and workforce development programs -- and through PATH -- which is a long-term program helping homeless women and their children through transitional and supportive housing, daycare, job coaching, skill-building and financial literacy.
