About Lindsey House
Empowering Families on their Journey to Independence
Lindsey House provides a home that encourages change, structure, and accountability, as well as life-changing services that benefit the entire family.
Housing & Support
We offer a home for today and hope for the future. Our unique blend of long-term housing and supportive services strengthens both the families we serve and our community.
Lives Changed
When Lindsey House families participate in our program, lives are changed. When they complete the program, families will likely have reduced or eliminated housing-related debt, stabilized employment, learned to live within a budget, built an emergency savings fund of at least $1,000, and secured safe and affordable housing.

Our History
In 2004, a small dedicated group from First Presbyterian Church of Tulsa began to examine the need to help homeless families in Tulsa, and discovered that mothers with children experiencing situational homelessness had limited resources in our community. The idea of Lindsey House was off and running.
In March of 2009, an independent Board of Directors was formed to incorporate Transitional Living Centers of Oklahoma, Inc. as a nonprofit in Oklahoma. After further planning and fundraising, TLC opened its first program in February 2010 when it purchased the former Saint Elizabeth’s Lodge from Catholic Charities. TLC opened the doors of Lindsey House, named after Lilah Lindsey, to mothers with children within weeks of acquiring the facility.
In 2020, we opened our new facility, where we were able to more than double the number of families we serve. Our offices also moved to the new building.

Bre Jackson
Program Services Coordinator
Bre Jackson didn’t realize her love for helping others until she found herself in a position of needing help. In February of 2016, a mere two weeks after her 23rd birthday, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. During her 2 years of treatment, she went on to graduate Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and minors in International Management, Marketing, and Economics. This experience opened her eyes to her own privilege and motivated her toward bettering herself to inspire others to do the same. Once she was declared cancer free, she began her leadership journey by completing the Thrive Tulsa program. From there her path became clearer and she connected with Lindsey House through their shared love of hands-on skills training. She now is a Financial Literacy Program Services Coordinator. To this day she maintains that all woman should try shaving their heads at least once.
