Tupa’s Lodge
Indigenous Women’s Second-Stage Parenting & Life Skills Program
A Program of Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society
Tupa’s Lodge is a structured second-stage communal living program for Indigenous women and their children. We operate within a small home setting that accommodates up to four families (maximum of eight residents). This is not emergency housing, detox, or short-term shelter. This program is designed for Indigenous women who:
Have completed detox and primary stabilization (if substance use history)
Are committed to sobriety
Are ready to participate in structured programming
Are willing to live in a communal home with shared responsibilities
Are seeking to strengthen their parenting and life skills
Are prepared to commit to a second-stage program (12 months)
Tupa’s Lodge focuses on supporting the mother. While children reside with their mothers, this is a women-centered program and does not provide childcare services. If you are seeking emergency shelter, detox, or immediate crisis placement, this program may not be the right fit. If you are ready to commit to personal growth, accountability, and long-term stability, please feel free to complete your application.
