HULIAU
About Huliau
Huliau, meaning "turning point," is a transformative program offered through Lydia House (LH) designed to empower young adults aged 18-22. Through comprehensive support, Huliau equips young adults with the tools they need for self-discovery, independent living, and a brighter future.
This includes access to case management, career development, and housing coordination support and referrals for those who need it while in the program. (Shared dorms may be available depending on program assessments and capacity).
Huliau is here to help young adults achieve their hopes and dreams, no matter where they are in life.
