The Angeline Christian Home | Laura's Home

The Angeline Christian Home is an emergency shelter for women and women with children located on the west side of Cleveland. It is a clean, comfortable home with 16 beds in semi-private suites, that provides refuge in a warm, caring environment.

Women and children are provided with nutritious food, clothing and other basic necessities. Staff and volunteers provide counseling and spiritual guidance to help women work through the variety of personal and relational problems which caused them to become homeless or in crisis.

Guests and staff alike look forward to the evening devotional time. Residents are encouraged to surrender their lives to Jesus and live in a way which honors Him. Many women take this step of faith and find in Christ the strength to break the power of addictions as well as face their fears, overcome feelings of low self esteem, and begin to build healthy relationships.

Women stay at the Angeline Christian Home for an average of 14-28 days, after which referrals are made to other agencies and programs to address longer-term needs. Last year 464 women and children were helped, but we received 10 times more calls for assistance than we were able to accommodate. Women with children have become the fastest growing segment of the homeless population and the need in Cleveland for assistance to women has risen dramatically.

We are currently in the planning stages to expand this program substantially in size and scope. Please pray with us as we move forward in this vital ministry.
