OUR FACILITY
The Havenwood facility is a 10,560 sq. foot building that contains fourteen apartments, a community kitchen, dining area, food pantry, donation closets, playroom, library and computer lab, laundry room, and two common areas.

Substance Abuse
We believe that if our resident families can be part of the identification of barriers, they can take ownership of their issues and be more willing to identify and follow through with a plan of action to move through the continuum towards self-sufficiency.
Using twelve objectives that are included in our Havenwood Star Case Management program, the case management team and the residents can assess individual needs and identify resources to assist the resident to move from crisis to self-sufficiency.
Objectives include assessing the following areas:
Emotional & Mental Health
Physical Health
Initiative & Accountability
Legal Issues
Time Management
Education
The Star program provides residents with visual aids showing their progress up the "ladder" in each objective. As barriers are identified, specific goals for each objective are obtained along with corresponding measurable outcomes. The goals will be ranked as required, relevant or preferable. By identifying and rating the goals, the residents will have tangible action steps and deadlines to help them stay accountable and to experience success.
