Angel House - responding to Loveland's homeless family needs:

AnnMarie Arbo, Executive Director

An estimated 1% of any given population is homeless, or at risk of being homeless.  The fastest growing number are families with children.  This situation is due in large part to a shortage of affordable housing. Yet there are many factors that result in families being unable to afford a home - illness, domestic violence, divorce, unemployment - all contributing to the cruel spiral of poverty.

In Loveland, homelessness is not readily apparent. Most families take refuge in the home of a relative or friend, stay in substandard motels, sleep in their vehicles, or stay in parks or open spaces.

Thanks to Interfaith Hospitality Network, a Family Promise program, Angel House/LB-IHN can provide a chance for homeless families to get back on their feet economically, and become self-sufficient once again.  Each family is evaluated to determine their willingness to meet Network guidelines. We typically host four families for fifty days.

How to Get a Referral:

Before a family is accepted into Angel House/LB-IHN, a preliminary screening must be conducted. An adult member of the family must call and speak with a case worker to arrange initial screening.
