Upper Valley Haven

?? Vital Stats: Vermont has one of the highest rates of housing insecurity in America, with 51 out of every 10,000 residents lacking stable housing. At Upper Valley Haven, we are proud to provide temporary shelter, supportive housing, and service coordination to help individuals and families move toward stability and independence.

We're hiring for a swell position in our Community Food Market! ?? ?? ?? ?? Come join our team.

Just read Dartmouth alum Ben Gose's article in the The Chronicle of Philanthropy about how we can better connect with donors of all sizes. Because the Haven never charges for any service, we count on the generous #UpperValley donors to support the myriad programs we offer. Thanks Ben!

April 15th marked the conclusion of the inaugural season of the Lebanon Seasonal Shelter. Safely accommodating 53 individuals during the coldest months of the winter underscored the pressing need for more affordable housing and shelter options. We're grateful for the opportunity extended by the City of Lebanon to manage this shelter, offering a safe haven, community service, social support, and nourishment to all. With enthusiasm, we look forward to another season of serving the community next winter. Read more about the first three months of operation here: https://lnkd.in/d4jUhKwa
