Haven for Hope

?????????????????? ???? ????????: ?????????? 23% of the young adults enrolled in Haven's Young Adult program (ages 18-24) have aged out of foster care.? Research indicates that between 11% and 36% of young adults who age out of the foster care system become homeless during their transition to adulthood. This highlights the critical need for comprehensive support systems to assist these young adults during this time. Haven for Hope's Young Adult program supports and connects young adults to services they need to transition to independent living. Some of these services include ID Recovery, Income, Skills & Development, Job Training, Case Management, Mental Health Services, GED prep, Spiritual Services, Permanent Supportive Housing, and so much more.

While staying at Haven, Venus is utilizing resources like ID recovery services and other programs designed to help her build stability and achieve her dreams. Through it all, she holds onto a powerful message: “Be kind. Kindness goes a long way. The energy you give to the world is going to come back to you.” Join us as Venus shares her inspiring journey of perseverance, hope, and the power of community.

Behind the scenes of The Hope Connection Our newest video testimonial series continues at Haven for Hope with our South Campus clients. These 10-minute talks with our clients give them a chance to sit down and have real discussions about their experiences with homelessness and how Haven has helped them transform their life. Homelessness is not what we think it is, and breaking the stigma of something so complex takes love, compassion, and education. Take a few minutes out of your day to hear the stories of real people in our community. Special thanks to my amazing team: Emily Rodriguez for your assistance on set and Danny T. for the amazing portraits of our South Campus clients. #havenforhope #transforminglives #thehopeconnection #talktome

As we celebrate 15 years of service, we’re partnering with The Home Depot Foundation and 365 Connect Inc. to improve our campus and services to those experiencing homelessness. Over 600 volunteers will upgrade facilities this April, including assembling 70 bunk beds for women at our South Campus. While this shift slightly reduces sleeping capacity (mats to bunks), it enhances care — data shows clients in beds with increased engagement and case management are 4–5 times more likely to have a positive housing exit from Haven. To accommodate this new sleeping space and address the current overcapacity, staff will pause new South Campus enrollments for women. This will not include any woman experiencing homelessness for the first time, women ages 18-25 or 65 plus, or women with physical disabilities. We’re grateful for this opportunity to create a more dignified and transformative experience for our clients.

Portraits of Hope: Constance The Hope Connection is a very special project for us and our client. It gives real people a chance to tell their stories in short, 10-minute talks and opens the audience up to the realities of homelessness. For this project, we were excited to bring on portrait artist and sports photographer, Danny Torres to photograph our South Campus clients right after their interviews. It was great to collaborate with such a talented artist and our clients loved the opportunity to have their photos taken on campus. Pictured here is Constance, whose full interview is currently available on our YouTube channel. Thank you, Danny, for your amazing artistry and for capturing these amazing moments in time. #havenforhope #thehopeconnection #tenminutetalks #talktome @DT2Ten
