LIFE HAVEN SERVES FAMILIES Life Haven serves 20 families at a time. Over 150 families are sheltered annually, including 250 children. Most families come to the shelter after being evicted by landlords or family members. Evictions result from family break-ups, disasters, living expenses exceeding income, domestic violence and other reasons. Life Haven Inc was incorporated in 1983 to provide services to homeless women with children. In 1992 the organization established a 20 unit temporary shelter. In 2004 the agency created a childcare center for children 0 to 6 years of age through a three year grant from SAMSHA. The following year the agency received its childcare license from the State of Connecticut. The third year the childcare center is to begin the National Accreditation process. Life Haven is funded by the State of Connecticut, City of New Haven, and Federal government. In addition Life Haven applies to private foundations, corporation and individuals for funding. Life Haven provides twenty units of residential shelter for homeless women and children from throughout the Greater New Haven area.
