Fairweather Family Lodge

The Fairweather Family Lodge (FFL)

The Fairweather Family Lodge  (FFL) serves a vulnerable population in San Antonio and Bexar County of single mothers with disabilities and their children who have experienced chronic homelessness. 

FFL was established in 2004 with the goal of providing permanent supportive housing, case management, professional counseling, life skills training, and employment opportunities for chronically homeless women with mental illness and their children in San Antonio.

FFL is a campus of 20 efficiency apartments located on San Antonio’s Southwest Side and houses the women and the children in the program in an effort to help them achieve a life full of stability, success, and self-sufficiency.
