Lima’s Samaritan House is a thirty-eight room emergency shelter with seventeen bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Since 1987, the program has been providing food, shelter, and essential services to over 250 unduplicated homeless, and/or abused women and their children per year.
Women and children are referred to Lima’s Samaritan House by self-referral, churches, and other public and private social service agencies.
Clients eligible for services must have no permanent residence, be able to provide care for themselves and their children, and not pose a safety risk to themselves or others.
Lima’s Samaritan House can accommodate up to seventeen households at a time and up to thirty-eight individuals depending on the size of the households being served.
