Catholic Urban Programs Holy Angels Shelter - East St Louis, IL

Description: o fulfill the mission of CUP, the purpose of Holy Angels Shelter is to provide shelter, support services, and transitional case management for citizens in the Metro East.  The staff strives to identify the needs, as well as the holistic care and concerns of women, men, and children who are caught in the temporary web of poverty and homelessness or are recovering from some catastrophic experience that rendered them without a stable living situation.
Our ministry has a threefold approach
1. Prevention: Offering rental and/or mortgage assistance in order to prevent the family from becoming homeless; offering an assessment prior to an eviction that may stave off homelessness.
2. Residential  service: Offering women and children housing at Holy Angels for 6 to 9 weeks while giving the necessary case management and social services needed to secure employment,  income,  housing options,  or referrals  for  short term  counseling  to  secure  long  term  housing
3. After care service: Follow-up case management and care for a minimum  of  six  months  to those  families  who  have left  the  shelter  and  are  once  more  beginning  to  live independently.  These services address housing, education, health, childcare, and employment issues that may be challenges as the family starts over.
