The Haven
About
The Haven has provided emergency food and shelter each night to homeless men on a temporary basis (30-60 days). Pastoral and case management services are available through qualified shelter staff, working in conjunction with local agencies. Referrals are available for clients to receive medical, psychological and legal assistance. Area churches from many denominations provide nightly church services for those wishing to attend.
The Haven serves the unsheltered public, specifically men over 18 years old in our Men's Shelter, Families and mothers / fathers with children, Veterans (with a specific Veterans Program), and adult men with disabilities who need an adult foster care.
We provide emergency shelter for 30 to 60 days, all daily meals, and daily basic personal care needs. The Haven's case managers provide connection to counseling, substance abuse recovery assistance, support groups, transitional housing, and referrals for medical care, legal assistance, and employment.
The Haven serves approximately 245 meals a day to the general public, providing meals on weekends, holidays and other days when the soup kitchen at the Salvation Army is closed.
Through our Jail Ministry, the Haven provides comfort and counseling to inmates of the Calhoun County Jail.
Current Needs:
The Haven of Rest Ministries relies on the support of the community to provide the much needed help to the unsheltered people coming from all over Michigan, and other states.
