Impact

Since opening in 2011 we have provided over 275,000 shelter nights to over 1,000 people including over 550 children that would have otherwise been homeless. Since opening over 500 persons have graduated from the program and moved into permanent housing on a path to self-sufficiency. Many more have left with a job and/or stable housing.

The ultimate success of our program is a family that leaves Haven House and moves into permanent housing on a path to a self-sustaining lifestyle.

From the top down, we look at statistics such as length of stay, graduation rate, success finding and holding onto jobs, reasons for living at Haven House, the types of situations Participants are moving back into, academic progress of the children while at Haven House and positive changes in behavior and attitude.

Programs for Change

Participants are asked to evaluate Enrichment Programs

Program Check-ins

Case managers routinely evaluate the progress of Participants which may indicate the need to modify a program.

Staff Involvement

Weekly the Executive Director meets with the clinical staff to discuss particular issues concerning a Participants’ or families progress and alternative courses of action are discussed. Board members also attend these meetings to ensure that the Board is engaged in operations and the pursuit of our Mission.

Community Feedback

Our weekly “Town Hall” meetings with the Participants provide ongoing feedback on the programs.

Community Care

The ability of family members to follow rules established by Haven House and contribute to the welfare of the other families living at Haven House is part of the evaluation process.

Exit Interview

When someone leaves the program they are asked to complete an Exit Form to get feedback that may indicate the need for a change in our programs.

Our Metrics for 2024

The ultimate success of our program is a family that leaves Haven House and moves into permanent housing on a path to a self-sustaining lifestyle.

With the implementation of the Career Development program the ultimate measure of success will be achievement of a living wage for the family. For the children success is measured by their improved academic performance back to grade level or beyond, behavior and attitude and the improved ability of their parents to meet the needs of the children.

How will we measure our success in 2025?

Provide over 21,000 shelter nights to those who would otherwise be homeless

Serve over 175 persons, including over 95 children

Graduate at least 35 persons into permanent housing

Over 65% of Participants in the program for over 3 months will graduate

At least 75 persons will leave with permanent and/or a job.

Improve academic performance of over 85 children. Behavior, attitude and values of the children will improve.

We enabled 5 families will to regain custody of their children from foster care.

No Child will drop out of school

Continue implementation of the Early Child Program

At least 90% of the children in the program, or a school year, will raise their academic performance to grade level or above. School attendance will approximate the state level or better
