About Us

Down and out, on the street and pain is all around …
 

Every night hundreds of women and their children are showing up at rescue missions and shelters in Central Florida. Many of the families are being turned away because there is no more room at the existing facilities. So where do they go? Unfortunately, most homeless families sleep in their cars, abandoned buildings, park benches, or under bridges. What environment does this create for their children?

Not so long ago, it was unusual to find women and children at shelters. How times have changed! Today, homeless women with children are more common than ever in one of the richest nations in the world. According to some estimates, between 70% and 90% of homeless families in America are headed by women. Even more significant, about 9 out of every 10 homeless mothers in our country have been physically and/or sexually abused.

Domestic violence, loss of employment, eviction, illness, or lack of affordable housing… No matter what the reason, women and their families no longer have to face these rough times alone. Angels Trace serves as "a bridge over troubled waters" by providing temporary support for women and their children who are in the midst of crisis in the State of Florida, in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties.

Angels Trace offers hope! Our plans include temporary housing that responds to a family’s immediate crisis, as well as, a transitional living facility which addresses the longer term needs of women and their children. Families in our shelter and housing facilities will be provided with food, furniture, clothing, intensive case management, spiritual guidance, mentoring, and child abuse prevention and family violence awareness classes. Our programs are found on a faith-based, service-enriched model of support.

Angels Trace is “Taking steps to restore lives.”
