Tubman House
Posted to March 27th, 2013
Tubman House opened in 2003 and provides 18 to 24 months of housing and support so that Sacramento’s homeless, parenting youth and their children can get busy living rather than surviving. At Tubman, young parents experience a holistic program centered on youth development, the strengthening of physical and mental health, educational attainment, career development, and financial management so that they leave prepared to be leaders in their own lives and leaders in the lives of their children and community. Children experience stability and blossom in a nurturing home . Children attend our licensed preschool at no cost.

Tubman is fierce in its belief that ALL youth need environments that encourage, and ALL youth need support in transitioning into adulthood. Having these needs does not mean a youth is troubled- it means a youth is alone. When given the same supports most youth take for granted at this juncture, our residents choose college degrees, secure housing, and meaningful careers. They choose not to make ends meet, but to thrive.
Tubman spans across three shared housing sites, each providing a home and support to 5 to 8 families. Upon joining, each resident creates an action plan to achieve personal health, mental wellness, and healthy interdependence. This tool defines each resident’s work, establishing benchmarks and deadlines to define progress. For most, the plan includes proactive attention to health, high school completion, college attendance, activities to improve mental health, involved parenting, employment, saving at least $3000, and securing permanent housing.

Lambda Community Center

Building Our Community –
Laying the Foundation
for Our Future__________________________
The Lambda Community Fund opened the Lambda Community Center in August of 1986. The Center has served as a focal point for the LGBTQI community ever since. It is a symbol of our strength and a rallying point in times of crisis. The Center serves as the corporate headquarters for the Lambda Community Fund and houses many other programs. The Center is at the heart of Sacramento’s LGBTQI community.
We strive to build a healthy, strong and diverse Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex community in the greater Sacramento area by providing services, resources, support, education and advocacy.
Sacramento Pride Parade & Fair Sat. June 10, ’06Lambda Community Center cordially invites you to attend the 2006 Sacramento Pride Parade and Fair. This year’s event will span three days, with most of the action taking place on Saturday, June 10, 2006, with the Parade from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and the Fair from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Held annually in June at the Southside Park in Downtown Sacramento, Sacramento Pride incorporates a diverse community of people and community organizations who share the common purpose of celebrating our history and achieving equal rights for all people. With vendors, booths, top-notch entertainment, and a sumptuous food court offering cuisine from a variety of different cultures, it is an event that creates memories of laughter, shared joy, and pride.
Sacramento Pride was founded in 1984 to bring about awareness and recognition for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) and supporting community’s need to celebrate its history. From its humble beginnings as a very small event consisting of a picnic in a local community park, the event has grown to an attendance of 6,000 to 8,000 people in 2005.
Sacramento Pride is produced by the Lambda Community Center, whose slogan is “Building our community, laying the foundation for our future.” This event is Lambda’s major fund-raising event of the year, and it helps to support the many programs and services provided by the center.
