Eliada Home is a national historic district located near Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. The district originally encompassed ten contributing buildings and three contributing sites associated with a youth home complex in suburban Asheville. Of the original ten, only five remain. They include the early residential, administrative, and agricultural buildings of the home as well as a residence, a tabernacle site, a log guest cabin, and a cemetery. The primary buildings were the Main Building (built in 1915, but is no longer extant) and the Allred Cottage (1930). The buildings included representative examples of the Colonial Revival, Bungalow, Bungalow/craftsman, and Tudor Revival styles. [2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993. [1]
In Eliada’s 120 year history, the agency has adapted to the needs of the community. Originally an orphanage, Eliada developed Foster Care programming when there was a nation-wide shift away from the traditional children’s home model. As mental health issues in children came into greater focus, Eliada also developed state of the art Residential Treatment Facilities and expanded Foster Care services to include Therapeutic Foster Care. As women entered the workforce, Eliada added child care and preschool services. In Eliada’s recent history, we recognized that youth were aging out of Foster Care and failing in traditional post-secondary education. So the organization once again adapted to meet this community need with the Eliada Students Training for Advancement Program which provides workforce development programming for this population of youth.
Eliada’s mission is Helping Children Succeed. Eliada has high level intervention and prevention services for children and adolescents that focus on social and emotional wellbeing, life skills development, career readiness, and trauma informed treatment. Eliada also maintains a 5-Star Child Development Center (child care, pre-k, afterschool, and summer camp), Residential mental health programs, Foster Care services, and Workforce-Ready housing assistance.
