Who We Are

Haven House Services is the place where youth who need help find it. Founded in 1973, Haven House operates 10 programs that help more than 1,500 youth in need each year overcome their challenges and find a path to success. Whether they are experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, a crisis at home or school, or problems involving the juvenile justice system, we help youth identify their goals, connect with resources, and build skills needed for long-term success.
We are the designated "point of entry agency" in our community for youth under age 24 who are experiencing homelessness.
 

Our Mission

Our Core Values
 

• Compassion: We care deeply. About the youth we serve, their families, and the community

• Commitment: We are in it for the long haul. We don’t quit or give up just because we’re faced with challenges or adversity. We dig deeper and stay focused on our mission to strengthen youth.

• ​Integrity: We stand on principles of honesty and transparency. We strive for justice and fairness. We seek to build trust with those we serve.

• Respect: The youth and families we serve have inherent value and strengths. We honor them by treating them that way.

• Accessibility: We serve all youth and their families in need of our assistance. We strive to break down any barriers that limit their access to Haven House and success.

• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: These are more than just words. We don’t just value equity, diversity and inclusion – we celebrate it; we advocate for it; we live it. We believe the powerful combination of our differences spurs growth. It prompts needed change. It makes our community better, stronger. When all are welcome, all benefit.

• Social Justice: To achieve our vision, we know we must lead by example and actively work to dismantle systems that have created injustices for people of color, LGBTQ+, and immigrant communities.
