Press Release
A Place Called Home in Lindsay
Appoints Angela Ricciuti as new Executive Director
The Board of Directors of A Place Called Home is excited to announce the appointment of Angela Ricciuti as our new Executive Director. Ms Ricciuti comes to us with two decades of leadership with Community Living Toronto, a leading agency serving adults with intellectual disabilities.
Ms Ricciuti has a wealth of experience in the field of social services, particularly in the domain of residential supports and housing. With a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from York University, she has consistently demonstrated a commitment to improving service delivery and advocating for individuals with disabilities.
Deeply motivated by principles of community inclusion, and the valued social roles that every citizen has in their communities, she has a passion for social justice within a framework of person-centred service delivery. Her extensive experience, from program development to recruitment and management, showcases a comprehensive understanding of the social services landscape.
Ms Ricciuti is the third Executive Director in the three decade history of A Place Called Home. APCH serves neighbours struggling with homelessness through shelter services, rooming house rentals and transitional housing. She begins this next stage in her career and in the agency’s history on March 4. We welcome Angela to the APCH community with enthusiasm and look forward to working together creating places called home in the midst of homelessness in Kawartha Lakes.
Building a New Place to Call Home
For shelter, support and a safe place to rest at the end of the day.
Where we come from
The 100+ year old buildings that make up our current shelter were the result of thousands of hours of volunteer labour, fundraising and effort to develop. Over the years, our volunteer Board of Directors have worked to improve our agency and take steps to ensure those who need our services are supported.
Where we are going
APCH has embarked on the development and construction of a new, purpose-built emergency shelter to better serve the homeless of Kawartha Lakes and the County of Haliburton. The new shelter will create a dignified and accessible space for residents to be supported as they stabilize and find stable housing.
The new build is the next step in that journey.
