HAVEN SERVICES

At Haven Neighborhood Services, we understand that Low-and Moderate-Income (LMI) individuals and families across Los Angeles county experience a great deal of financial hardship that impacts every dimension of their lives. More than 30% of renter households are spending at least half of their monthly income on rent and utilities, leaving little discretionary income for other bills and expenses. Homelessness starts rising when median rents in a region exceed 22% of median income and rises even more sharply at 32%; in Los Angeles, the median rent is 46.7% or nearly half of median income. The chronic financial and housing instability not only imposes high degrees of day-to-day stress, but it also limits their abilities to improve their overall financial and housing outlook.

We strive to integrate effective financial capability, housing, and supportive services that are essential for LMI individuals and families to achieve economic inclusion, mobility and, ultimately, financial security to combat poverty, prevent homelessness, and end their financial and housing crisis. This involves harnessing an array of resources, capabilities, and institutional support that enable vulnerable individuals and families to sustain themselves, thrive, and move up the economic ladder.

Haven Neighborhood Services has served over 34,500+ clients since 2010. Annually, Haven Neighborhood Services serves a minimum of 3,250 participants per year. Many of which have achieved financial freedom and ended their financial/housing crisis through our education and direct services. Provided below are compiled data within the last 10 years of the following demographics profiles: age, race, ethnicity, geographic location, military status, income level, educational level, disability, homelessness or homeownership, citizenship, student status, and unbanked/underbanked.
