A Safe Place To Call 'Home'
The Haven was built from a community outreach effort started in 1976 to provide assistance to youth in need. In the early years, a small Delray Beach house served as "home" to boys ages 8 to 14.
Today, The Haven is an alternative home for young men, from age 9 up to 18, who have been placed in our protective care. Each year, The Haven provides its comprehensive program to an average of 75-80 boys with the average length of stay at more than three years-with many boys staying until age 18.
On the five-acre, campus in suburban Boca Raton, the young men reside in four home-like cottages complete with a centralized kitchen and dining tables where they eat their meals together, do homework from their local schools and enjoy the camaraderie of their "family." In addition, the campus' recreation building and outdoor basketball courts serve as a focal point for a variety of activities. Each cottage is managed 24/7 by a direct care staff that provide the supervision and nurturing environment the young men require to become self-sufficient and balanced adults
