Transitional Housing
Angel Guardian Home
Mothers with disabilities are especially vulnerable to homelessness. Angel Guardian Home, comprised of 12 two-bedroom apartments in our Women's Village, provides long-term affordable housing for this special population. Up to 12 mothers with physical or mental disabilities, and their minor children (about 25 children), call Angel Guardian home.
Families pay a modest rent based on a percentage of their income, and may live at Angel Guardian until the youngest child reaches 18. Good Shepherd Center works with mothers to help transition them into alternative housing sometime before their youngest child reaches his or her 18th birthday.
Good Shepherd Center provides supportive services to the families who live at Angel Guardian. Additionally, the mothers and their children are invited to participate in a variety of planned activities and special events at Good Shepherd Center throughout the year.

Families can remain at Angel Guardian Home until their youngest child turns 18, providing the long-term stability needed for children to thrive and mothers to build independence while managing their disabilities.
