Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

To bridge the gap between homelessness and permanent housing for both families and individuals. We are dedicated to providing a safe, transitional shelter, along with essential services, to empower those in need and pave the way toward lasting independence.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To bridge the gap between homelessness and permanent housing for both families and individuals. We are dedicated to providing a safe, transitional shelter, along with essential services.

  • Expanded Facilities - In 2024, we added 800 square feet to our shelter, creating additional offices and meeting rooms. This expansion allows us to better serve our guests in a private and comfortable setting. Strengthened Mental Health Counseling - We took a significant step forward in supporting our guests by enhancing our mental health counseling services. Guests are now able to meet with a trained clinician on site as frequently as needed, fostering emotional well-being and recovery.

    Expenses $323,409 · Grants $1,004

  • Enhanced Garden - Our garden continues to flourish! We expanded to include raised beds for growing vegetables and herbs, enabling us to provide fresh, homegrown produce. With dedicated spaces for children to engage in hands-on learning and gardening activities, the garden is ready for any level of experience and ages. Held in High Regard by the Community - Were proud to celebrate being awarded a perfect 100 score and a four-start rating by Charity Navigator. This recognition underscores our commitment to transparency, accountability, and impact services.

  • Initiated Strategic Planning - Looking forward to the future, we initiated the development of a comprehensive long-term strategic plan. This process has helped us identify key areas for future growth and enhancement to better service our community. Since 2011, The Haven has provided shelter for almost 900 people, including 224 children.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
