Mission Statement

ribbon gold angel house smallAngel House advocates for victims’ rights and services for victims of violent crime, providing direct services to victims and their families, and providing public education and awareness.

Our staff members are available to assist the family and loved ones of a homicide victim. Advocates assist survivors in communicating with Police, Attorney's General office, and Governor's Office and provide emotional and physical support throughout the course of your case. Advocates work closely with the staff in all phases of the Criminal Justice System. There are nearly 45,000 homicides annually in the United States. This effects between 150,000 and 200,000 relatives and other survivors. The trauma and grief experienced by survivors cause emotional scars that last a lifetime.

acvcc_treeWe assist with Death Notification, Media Coverage, Funeral Arrangements, Victim's Compensation, Trial Attendance, Insurance Claims, Crime Scene Clean-up.

This project was supported by subgrant #17-va-vs-030 awarded by the Law Enforcement/Traffic Safety Division of ADECA and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Crime and courts reporterCole, a black Labrador retriever therapy dog, recently helped a teenage girl relax and open up during therapy at Wiregrass Angel House.

The teenage girl witnessed a violent crime and has been going through some therapy sessions with Wiregrass Angel House, a local nonprofit agency that helps victims of violent crime.

“It made her open up more,” said Shelly Linderman, the director of Wiregrass Angel House. “When she first started (therapy with Cole) she was totally against it. Then she was asking for him all the time in therapy. He’s made her feel more comfortable.”
