About Faith Havens
For over a decade, Faith Havens has been a beacon of hope and support for at-risk populations in our community, providing essential services and building pathways to stability and success.
Our Story
Faith Havens was founded in 2012 by a group of community leaders who recognized the growing need for comprehensive support services for at-risk populations in our area. What started as a small volunteer organization has grown into a full-service nonprofit serving thousands of individuals and families each year.
Our name reflects our core belief that everyone deserves a place of safety, dignity, and hope. We work tirelessly to create "havens" of support where individuals can find the resources, guidance, and community they need to rebuild their lives.
Today, we operate multiple programs across the region, from emergency shelters to long-term housing assistance, job training to mental health counseling. Our holistic approach addresses not just immediate needs, but the underlying causes of instability and vulnerability.
