HomeLA Development hosted the first community event at LifeArk Tyler - bringing together friends and family of current residents, partners and supporters of LifeArk and HLAD came together to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon enjoying a summer BBQ.

Residents were thrilled to be able to invite their family and friends to the place they now call home. Now housemates, residents have been able to gather together in communal spaces and spend time getting to know each other and develop friendships. This is one of the main advantages of the shared housing model that LifeArk has been excited to see unfold through the first pilot project. We look forward to hosting many more of these community events as LifeArk Tyler grows to become a home where relationships are developed and fostered into lifelong friendships.
