Abilene Hope Haven quietly opened their doors to a handful of Abilene’s homeless in 1994. This facility serves single men and women. In March of 2002 Abilene Hope Haven opened the doors to a second facility, Hope Haven Too which serves homeless families. Our residents pay $1 a month for housing, food and utilities. In return, they must find and remain employed in a 40-hour-a-week job. If they do not have a high school degree, they are required to work towards a GED (for which Hope Haven pays.) Life skill classes are held four nights a week and attendance is required. In addition, each client must save every dollar he or she possibly can to prepare for the day when they will be self-supporting. Finally, each client must totally abstain from alcohol and drugs. Compliance is verified through random drug testing. Abilene Hope Haven's mission is to heal homelessness and they do this by providing a simple, wholesome place for clients to live while they work to remedy their situation(s) which resulted in homelessness. |
