Samaritan House

5
The Samaritan House is a not for profit organization in the city of Ashtabula. It began as an idea with a group of area ministers in 1987. They met to discuss the issue of homelessness in the Ashtabula area. The ministers had noticed people coming to their churches asking for help with a place to stay because they were homeless. In response, the Messiah Lutheran Church made their former church parsonage available to be used as the homeless shelter. Supporting the shelter, the City of Ashtabula provided a block grant to bring the house up to code. In November of 1989, we served our first homeless clients.

Twenty-three years later, we have served about 4,500 different residents. The shelter can house up to fourteen people at a time and averages 180 different people a year. While we have served people from all over the world, most of our residents are from Ashtabula County.
