Message from the Board President
and Executive Director
Dear Friends,
We hope you and your family have remained well and safe throughout the year. This year marked
LifeTies’ 40th anniversary, an important milestone and a time to reflect on all that we have
accomplished together with our community partners. For four decades, our donors, staff, volunteers
and community have had an extraordinary impact on the well-being of our vulnerable youth. Our
focus on older youth is intentional and we recognize that our work is critical to their future success
as adults. Our dedicated staff and outstanding volunteers embrace this opportunity to empower our
young people with intensive counseling services, life skills training, educational support, housing
support, a relationship with a trusted adult, parenting classes, and safe recreational activities.
Our doors have stayed open every day, even during the past two challenging years and our services
and programs are needed now more than ever. Many of the young people we serve have
experienced complex trauma and the current pandemic has exacerbated the challenges they face
on a daily basis. The LifeTies staff has been instrumental in addressing increased rates of depression,
anxiety, relationship issues, and mood disorders. Those with learning differences, substance abuse,
job instability, and involvement with juvenile offenses have faced additional challenges, which has
required significant support.
This year, LifeTies began laying the groundwork for our new Youth and Family Pride Center which
launched in 2021, further implementing our performance measurement system to ensure best
practices, and growing our supportive housing program for Mercer County homeless single,
pregnant and/or parenting young adults ages 18-24.
This report highlights our programs and the impact that we have made on our youth and
community as well as the steps we have taken internally to ensure we are continuing our legacy of
providing high quality services and serving the youth with the greatest needs. This report also
reflects the impact that you have made on our youths’ lives through your generous support. While
the pandemic has created new challenges for our youth and workforce, you came through with
financial and in-kind donations that made it possible to continue to work with our youth at a time
they especially needed our help.
We are proud of the new paths we have provided for the youth and for our organization over the last
four decades, but our work is not done. We deeply appreciate your continued support as donors and
volunteers so that together, we can continue to help our youth forge ahead and enjoy life’s
possibilities and become healthy and contributing members of their communities.
With gratitude,
Jeanne M. Davie, SHRM-SCP Lori V. Morris, Ph.D.

Our Group Homes
TRIAD HOUSE is a 24-hour residential group home for youth ages 16-21 with emotional and
behavioral challenges. The program provides treatment for the youth and their families to
help achieve their goals.
Triad House promotes a safe and inclusive environment for all youth and emphasizes the
importance of youth understanding and celebrating diversity regarding their sexual
orientation, gender orientation, religion and ethnicity. Triad House was the first LGBTQ+
friendly group home in NJ. In addition, Triad House works with youth to deal with and
overcome the effects of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.
RAINBOW HOUSE is a 24-hour residential group home, established in 1991, for youth ages
12-21 with emotional, medical and behavioral health challenges. Rainbow House was the first
group home in the country to serve young mothers and their babies infected with HIV/AIDS.
Rainbow House now serves females ages 12-21 with behavioral health challenges as well as
young women who have chronic health challenges such as asthma and diabetes.
Both of our group homes provide a nurturing, supportive, and structured environment
where our youth can develop trust, grow, and become positive and productive members of
society.
