Mission: Lazarus Foundation Inc. is a non-profit charitable and educational, tax exempt, 501(3)(c) corporation with the purpose of operating a rehabilitative living environment for the benefit of homeless recovering substance abusers in the Rock County area. Our primary mission is to maintain a residence providing a supportive living environment and life-skills continuum placements to help at-risk recovering homeless adults re-establish themselves in the community. It is our hope that we can provide these people with a safe, affordable environment in which to make the necessary transition. The problem faced is that many are trapped, either by a lack of employability or finances, and at risk of falling right back into the same negative environment (often surrounded by alcohol, drugs or other forms of addiction) from which they came.
