Mr. Lambert will tell you that living in Lovesman Village Public Housing was one of the best things that happened in his life. Mr. Lambert believes that he was fortunate to have a loving, supportive, and caring mother and family, while growing up in public housing.  He learned to be open minded about the needs of others and never to judge them. Mr. Lambert states that he escaped the mainstream lifestyle of public housing residents by playing sports. Mr. Lambert  participated in seasonal sports as a youth and developed additional social skills. Thanks mom!!!!!!! 

Mr. Lambert joined C.H.A.M.P.S. in February 2008. He has several years of experience working with at risk youth and their families. Mr. Lambert  believes that many children are being distracted from life’s realities and are being sacrificed for financial gains. We must learn how to love and respect ourselves so that we can teach our children how to love and respect themselves.
