Angela House

Our Mission

The Mission of Angela House is to provide, with sensitivity to the unique needs of women after incarceration, a safe place where they can live, grow and become the kind of person they want to be.

Residents receive emotional and spiritual support as well as professional counseling as they are encouraged to set realistic and attainable goals for the future, and to make informed choices that will:

• Enhance and improve self esteem
• Build self determination skills
• Develop personal growth initiatives and
• Empower them to lead lives with dignity in their community and with their families.

Philosophy

At Angela House, we hope to establish a community of women who respect themselves and each other, and who are committed in working for their own empowerment as well as the empowerment of their families and each other.

The administration and support staff will work hand-in-hand with the residents in creating a communal atmosphere in which each individual feels respected and valued.

Empowerment of residents is one of the primary goals of Angela House. Empowerment is accomplished by assisting each resident in identifying her strengths, setting her own agenda, and making constructive changes in her life.
