Being homeless is a state of transition for most of our guests at The Haven.
We provide respite services for people who are experiencing homelessness or living in extreme poverty in Charlottesville. We also offer supportive case management for guests who are eligible for programs to get them back into stable housing.
Homelessness is a housing crisis, and the solution to homelessness is housing. The Haven works with several agencies and programs to connect guests to the resources they need to find housing and stabilize their lives. We offer housing support and assistance through Housing First and other assistance programs.
Your gift helps your neighbors facing homelessness find respite and guidance as they pursue the path toward stable housing.
