ABOUT US
Touched By An Angel Ministries, Inc. is located in a former Extended Stay Motel and accommodates individuals with hard-ships ranging from homelessness, substance abuse sufferers, mental health issues, and those with limited education. Onsite we have available emergency, transitional, and supportive housing. Subsequently, we are able to move people and families from chronic homelessness to a state where they are self-sustaining and living in a private pay independent apartment. Touched By An Angel Ministries Incorporated refers individuals to local community agencies that provide assistance to their needs. The ministry's vision is that one should be reconciled back to God, to live a Christ-filled life.
THE HOMELESS
According to the Housing and Urban Development July 2008 3rd Homeless Assessment Report to Congress, in a single night in January 2007, HUD showed there were over 670,000 homeless people nationwide in the United States. HUD has reported the number of chronically homeless people (those with repeated episodes or who have been homeless for long periods, 2007 data) as over 120,000.
From October 2006 to September 2007, over 1.5 million people used an emergency shelter and/or transitional housing during the 12-month period. That means that about 1 in every 200 persons in the United States was in a homeless facility in that time period. 70% of those were individuals without a family, and 30% of those were families.
