Angela's House

What Angela's House does

Angela's House is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1994 in Hauppauge, New York, by Bob Policastro and his wife after their daughter Angela required specialized care unavailable locally. The organization coordinates complex home care services and operates residential services for medically fragile, technology-dependent, chronically ill, and developmentally disabled children and their families in Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island. Its service model is built around three small residential group homes — Angela's House I in East Moriches (opened 2000), Angela's House II in Smithtown (opened 2005), and Angela's House III in Stony Brook (opened 2013-2014) — each delivering 24-hour specialized nursing care in a home-like setting for children who cannot live with their families. The program portfolio extends beyond residential care into the Care Management for the Children's Home Care Program, Family Support Services (Reimbursement Program, Respite Reimbursement, Non-Medicaid Service Coordination, Counseling/Training/Advocacy, Emergency Respite, Crisis Coordination), the Everyday Wishes community outreach program, the Pay it Forward medical equipment and supply closet, the Angel of Hope memorial program, and community and family events, with a planned Respite Center still in development.

The business model is donation- and grant-funded: services are provided to families at no cost, and revenue is sourced from individual donations, corporate and foundation grants (including The Torch Foundation of Long Island, UPS, HRH Construction, Plaza Construction, Krantz Motorsports, Bank of America, Brooks Brothers, Astoria Federal Savings), signature fundraising events (William J. Pace Memorial Golf Outing, Spring Gala, fishing fundraisers, bike rides, radio-thons), and NYS Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) Family Support Service grants serving Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Operational and HR functions are supported through a formal affiliation with Independent Group Home Living (IGHL), and the organization is part of the Kinexion network of Long Island disability-services nonprofits. The technology stack is modest and operationally oriented: Salesforce for constituent and donor management with two-factor authentication, Active Web Group for website hosting with SSL, and Authorize.net for online donation processing. There are no AI/ML capabilities, no public API, and no disclosed headcount or revenue figures.
