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 three Housing First programs: Homeless Prevention, Laura DeLapp Haven Housing Fund, and Rapid Re-housing.

Qualifications and a printable PDF with information on all housing programs can be found by clicking each program title. Definitions of commonly used terms can be found here.

Are you eligible for housing support from The Haven?

You should call the Homeless Information Line to be screened for housing support if:

• You are literally homeless (living on the street, in an emergency shelter, in a vehicle, or another place not intended for habitation) OR

• You are within 14 days of losing your rental unit AND have a lease or new lease prospect OR

• You are doubled up with friends or are living in a motel AND have a lease prospect

If you qualify for one of our housing programs, you must call the Homeless Information Line at (434) 207-2328 and leave a voicemail with your name, housing situation, best phone number and time for a call back. Learn more about the HIL and what to expect. At this time, calls are being returned within three business days between the hours of 8:00am-8:00pm (as of 9/2024).
