Church of Scientology Community News: Safe Haven Re-Opens Its Doors
The Nashville Church of Scientology supports the good works of others. Today's highlight: the upcoming grand re-opening of the Safe Haven Family Shelter.
- (1888PressRelease) July 02, 2013 - "Family homelessness: It's not what you think," are words that pop up, along with ads, on the website for Safe Haven, a shelter-to-housing program in South Nashville. With 28 years experience in changing the field of family homelessness with its proactive programs, Safe Haven will soon double its capacity and spread that help even further.
Safe Haven is planning a Grand Re-Opening for mid-Summer to celebrate the much anticipated expansion project of the shelter on 3rd Avenue South. Not even a year after the ground breaking ceremony on October 2, 2012, Safe Haven will be ready to open its recently renovated doors to residents before school is back in session.
"Expanding and renovating will help us keep more families together while ensuring their dignity and empowering them to achieve self-sufficiency," said Executive Director Joyce Lavery.
Safe Haven houses an average of 38 families, including 57 children, each year. After the renovation, the shelter will be able to serve at least 100 families, including more than 150 children, annually. The program has demonstrated success for nearly three decades, with almost 85 percent of Safe Haven's residents departing from the shelter with stable employment and secured housing.
Safe Haven is a unique shelter-to-housing program in Middle Tennessee that accepts the entire homeless family. The staff works to keep families together and provide comprehensive services that empower them to achieve lasting self-sufficiency. Safe Haven Family Shelter's comprehensive approach is one of service and compassion. More information can be found at www.safehaven.org.
