RESIDENTIAL

The Haven House residential shelter provides emergency accommodation and other services to women and children escaping from immediate domestic violence and who would otherwise be homeless.  The Shelter has 36 beds for women and their children who may stay a maximum of 45 days.  The goal of the shelter is to provide a safe, healthful, comfortable environment for women and children; see that their basic needs are met; provide information about domestic violence and alcoholism; assist women in making future plans, support them toward their safe-life goals, and provide social service advocacy.
