When was Angels’ Place founded?
Angels’ Place was founded in 1992 by two women sitting around a cafeteria table. One of the women had a daughter with a developmental disability and was concerned about her daughter’s future should anything happen to her or her husband. The two women banded together with three other women and began their crusade for Angels’ Place.

At what age do you take individuals for residential placement?
Individuals may enter Angels’ Place homes at twenty-six years of age or older, but we have taken individuals younger in extreme cases, such as illness or sudden death of the guardian. The Abundant Life Services program takes younger individuals.

Do the Angels’ Place residents work?
Angels’ Place assists residents in finding employment. Most residents are competitively employed and those not employed volunteer for organizations throughout the community.

Are you a Catholic organization?
Does the Archdiocese give you any funding?

Angels’ Place staff represent many different cultures and faiths. The Archdiocese does not fund Angels’ Place and we are not under their social service umbrella. We are identified as a valuable resource to the community.
