This program is designed to address the urgent needs of individuals who find themselves without a place to stay, offering a sanctuary where they can regain their footing and work towards a more stable future.
The primary objective of Safe Haven is to offer temporary shelter that ensures safety and security for its residents. Beyond just a bed, the program provides nutritious meals, essential clothing, and basic medical care.

The shelter operates on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring that those in the most immediate need are given priority.
To access the services of Safe Haven, potential residents must undergo an intake process that assesses their eligibility. Criteria include being an adult male, homeless, and in need of emergency shelter. The intake process also involves a brief assessment to identify any immediate medical or psychological needs, ensuring that each resident receives appropriate care from the outset.
Once admitted, residents benefit from a structured support system aimed at helping them transition to more stable living conditions. This includes case management services, which connect individuals to job training programs, permanent housing solutions, and other community resources. The goal is to empower residents to become self-sufficient and reduce the likelihood of returning to homelessness.
The success of Safe Haven is bolstered by the invaluable contributions of volunteers and partnerships with local organizations. Volunteers play a critical role in delivering services, from preparing meals to providing mentorship. Collaborations with healthcare providers, employment agencies, and housing organizations enhance the program’s ability to address the diverse needs of its residents comprehensively.
Our efforts have yielded numerous success stories, such as John, who, after losing his job and home, found refuge at Safe Haven.
