On June 26, eight female residents of Lydia’s House of Hope went back to school for a special day of business workshops taught by Paul College faculty.
Lydia’s House of Hope is a 12-month transitional living facility in Somersworth, New Hampshire, for homeless families and single women. The program is designed to provide education, training and counseling to residents with the explicit goal of moving them out of chronic homelessness and into sustainable, self-supporting, independent living.
Daniel Silverman, Paul College lecturer in decision sciences and director of the full-time MBA program, also directs and is the founder of the Out of Hibernation 5K in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This annual road race has generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for various local charities, including Lydia’s House of Hope. After learning about Lydia’s House of Hope through his charitable 5K, Silverman was inspired.
