| The Haven has seven distinct divisions that enable homeless men, women and children to become self-sufficient. Adult Foster Care The Haven provides licensed adult foster care for 15 mentally ill or mentally challenged men. Clients are provided access to psychological counseling, assistance with medication, therapeutic recreational opportunities and dietary needs in a cheerful, spacious, caring atmosphere. Gain Access Program (Children's program) The Gain Access Program (GAP), the newest program offered by The Haven, is designed to help homeless children gain access to life skills that they may not have been consistently exposed to. With these life skills, the children will be better equipped to make healthy decisions for their future. While The Haven’s other programs work directly with the adults to teach them life skills, GAP will work directly with the children allowing them to gain access to life skills training as well.
