The Lamp Project works closely with individuals, families, and couples experiencing homelessness and hardship through personal, one-on-one support.
While large organizations are set up for individuals to come to them, we meet these individuals where they are located.

The Lamp Project was founded in September 2025 after an outreach encounter highlighted the need for consistent, one-on-one support for individuals experiencing homelessness.
What began by helping one person became a commitment to walking alongside others facing complex challenges.

Our efforts are geared towards overcoming the obstacles that individuals may be experiencing. This includes obtaining identification, clothing, groceries, transportation, and connections to healthcare.
At our monthly serve days we provide intake forms to further assess individual needs.
Since September 2025, The Lamp Project has walked alongside individuals experiencing homelessness and hardship through consistent street outreach, relationship based support, and one on one care across Houston.
We focus on relationships first. Many individuals receive layered support as we remove barriers and help them move toward stability, dignity, and long term independence.

While some individuals disengage due to instability or addiction related challenges, we remain committed to meeting people where they are and walking alongside them toward stability, accountability, and renewed hope.
Every number represents a person. Every barrier removed represents forward movement.
Stories will be shared soon.
We believe in honoring privacy and dignity. When individuals choose to share their journeys, you’ll find them here.

Looking ahead, The Lamp Project plans to develop transitional housing that provides stability, safety, and dignity. Our vision includes counseling, advocacy, and small accountability groups that support long-term growth, with a focus on relationships, guidance, and community.
