A bed tonight, and a way forward after.
Haven House has 80 shelter beds, three hot meals a day and a twelve-month recovery program for men and women who want to start over. The first night has no conditions.
What we offer
From the first night to the front door of a new home.
A year at Haven House
Recovery takes a year, and then some.
Marcus arrived on a January night with a backpack and nothing else. Twelve months later he handed his own keys to the next resident. This is roughly how that year went.
Night one
A hot meal, a shower and a bed. No conditions, and no lecture.
Month one
A case worker, a medical check and a safe, sober room.
Months two to nine
Counselling, classes, chores, chapel and friendships that last.
Months ten to twelve
Job training, savings and a housing plan.
Graduation
A new home, a job, and a community still cheering.

$32 pays for one person’s night: a bed, a hot meal and someone to talk to.
Haven House takes no government money. Neighbours, churches and local businesses pay for every bed and every meal.
