If you are homeless in Southern Maryland and are currently not part of Coordinated Entry or if you are in need of other homeless services, please contact LifeStyles directly at: 301-609-9900. Regardless of your housing status, persons would have to meet the minimum income requirements for the non-subsidized units.

The Grand Opening of Southern Crossing

Transitional Housing for a Brighter Future
