Life House opened in 1992, providing street outreach to Duluth homeless teens. Our goals are to ensure access to safe and affordable housing, employment, education, and health services for at-risk and homeless youth ages 14-20. Life House services are located in the LIFELINE Building near the public transit center, downtown Duluth.
LIFELINE Expressway
To realize our agency’s holistic service approach, imagine the Life House Youth Center as the entry to a “highway to emergency services” for at-risk and homeless kids---The LIFELINE Expressway!

As at-risk kids enter the Youth Center, they are greeted by Life House staff and guided to the “LIFELINE Expressway.” Along their journey, each youth has the opportunity to take an “exit ramp” providing essential housing, jobs, school, teen parenting skills, and health services. Each “exit ramp” is designed to help “map” out a route to enable them to meet current and future goals. Step by step, mile by mile, our youth build occupational skills, personal character and self-confidence enabling them to become productive, independent members of our Community.
For 18 years, kids on the streets have developed an enduring, trusting relationship with Life House staff and programs. In Duluth, homeless kids know Life House is the safe place they can go to receive help and respect as they travel on their journey along the LIFELINE Expressway off the streets, into safe and affordable housing while achieving lasting, healthy lifestyle changes.
