Mission Statement

Haven House's mission is to guide and support families who face homelessness on their paths to stable homes.

Description

Haven House has provided temporary shelter for homeless families since 1983. Over the years, the scope of our programs and services has increased dramatically. Not only do we support our clients with basic needs such as shelter, food, clothing, and personal needs items, but we have developed programs that will make an impact on the lives of our families after they have left our shelter.

Giving our clients the opportunity to improve their lives through goal setting, training, and education enables them to become more productive and less apt to become homeless in the future.
