Lutheran Social Services of Northern California is part of a network of nearly 300 Lutheran social ministry organizations across the country. It is linked together through its membership in Lutheran Services in America. Lutheran social ministry programs have been serving California's most vulnerable populations for over 100 years. Although its roots are in the Lutheran tradition and its historical support came from Lutheran congregations, LSS has always been committed to serving the entire community, as reflected in its mission statement: Lutheran Social Services responds when people are vulnerable because of homelessness, mental illness, drug addiction or disaster. Providing support services and compassionate guidance, we help individuals and families to stabilize their lives and become self-sufficient.LSS currently serves 2075 clients in Sacramento, San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa and San Joaquin Counties. Its programs include money management services, case management in transitional and permanent supportive housing sites, case management and housing services for emancipating foster care youth, disaster preparedness training, and long-term disaster response services for Hurricane Katrina survivors.
As a public benefit corporation and a 501 (c) 3, LSS is funded by individual and corporate donations, government contracts, grants, and by the support of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, and their member congregations. The agency is accredited under the Council of Accreditation for Children and Family Services. LSS also works as the lead affiliate for northern California for Lutheran Disaster Response.
