The Long Beach Rescue Mission currently has two facilities. Our 120-bed Samaritan House is for men, and a 45-bed Lydia House is for women and their children. The Rescue Mission's programs include seven-day emergency shelter, case management, and a one-year residential social rehabilitation New Life Program for men and women. It utilizes a computerized Learning Center where participants can obtain their GED, as well as Career Employment Services. A recent addition is the Bridge Program for graduates, which can include continued education, paid internships, and residential assistance.
