Elsie Mae Zeigler A Place Where Healing Begins

At Elsie Mae Zeigler House, we are more than just a group home — we are a family, a safe haven, and a beacon of hope for at-risk youth. Located in Ocala, Florida, our residential group home was founded to provide a stable, nurturing environment for children and adolescents facing homelessness, neglect, abuse, and exploitation.

Founded by a Certified Child Protective Investigator (CPI) with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and a Case Manager for Sunshine Health, Elsie Mae Zeigler House reflects a lifelong commitment to protecting and uplifting children in need. Our founders have witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of trauma and instability on vulnerable youth — and they established Elsie Mae Zeigler House to break that cycle and provide children with a chance to heal and thrive.

We are proud and go ahead early to help all friends.
