Getting Started

Our Programs

Our programs are open to anyone on a healing journey, from elders navigating hospice care or transitional care units, to single-parent families seeking housing, to anyone seeking legal aid, estate planning, mindfulness support, or nourishing food. Reach out through our contact page and our team will help you find the right fit.

HVN'S HAVEN is funded through donations, grants, and community partnerships. Many of our programs are offered free or at low cost. Reach out for specifics on the program you're interested in.

Serenity Steps runs along two paths: Transitional Care Units for elders stepping down from a hospital or hospice stay, and family housing for single mothers and fathers rebuilding stability. Stays are personalized to each individual's circumstances, and our team works closely with each resident toward the right next step.
