The Haven also provides counseling and support services to help families keep from becoming homeless again. Since the beginning, the Have has assisted more than 85 families. We have two houses - one single family and a two family dwelling. We offer a comfortable refuge in home-like settings for families. We have case managers on staff who work in a comprehensive manner with our families - providing assistance with: working with TANF; Social Security; identifying vocational trainings; after school care for children; medical/dental and other appointments to ensure a positive quality of life. The pantry provides food products for hundreds of individuals and families each month. We have dedicated and trained volunteers who work the program 3 times per week and we also provide information and referral services to our program participants.
