About
It all started when…
In September 1991 Hope Haven opened it’s doors in a single family home that could accommodate up to 5 women and children. In 2004 we opened the building that we are currently in, and built an addition in 2011. Hope Haven’s emergency shelter can now accommodate up to 21 women and children, and our addition of a Second Stage shelter allows 2 at-risk families to reside for up to 1 year. In November 2017 we had the grand opening for our new Supported Transitional Housing. These units provide families with support while transitioning into the community.
