Haven: Housing and Supportive Services
Kirstin's Haven provides permanent supportive housing for veterans, individuals and families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, with a case manager and supportive services that help residents rebuild their lives.
Our housing
Since 2010, Kirstin's Haven, Inc. has helped homeless veterans and other adults move into safe, shared homes in Prince George's County. We received our first grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in July 2020 for our permanent supportive housing program.
Every resident has a supportive case management team that helps with everyday struggles and opens the door to the resources that make independence possible. When residents are ready, our Care program adds therapy, psychiatry, recovery and employment services from the same team.
Kirstin's Haven, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded to serve veterans.
Eligibility
Not sure if you qualify? Call us at (240) 392-2876 and we will talk it through with you. Veterans can also call the veterans line at (240) 563-1165.
Every permanent supportive housing resident completes an eight step guided case management program that offers:
Supportive services
A case manager helps you set short and long term goals and works through everyday challenges with you, step by step.
One on one time with a trained counselor in a safe, confidential setting to work through what matters most to you.
Groups and substance use counseling that build a sober support network and skills for relapse prevention.
Referrals to partner agencies for mental, emotional and physical health, and help with VA, SSVF, Social Security and SSDI benefits.
Vocational training, financial management and help finding a job, with Care employment services when you are ready.
Transportation and help navigating community resources, appointments and services.
Our homes
Our Prince George's County homes offer furnished shared living with a case management team, referrals to partner agencies and help meeting mental, emotional and physical health needs. For residents' privacy, we do not publish home addresses.
Residents share a furnished home with a family style kitchen and dining room, a place to cook, eat together and settle in.
Referrals and payment
We welcome referrals from veterans organizations, shelters, behavioral health providers, hospitals, families and individuals themselves. Many residents come to us through partners like PG House, QCI Behavioral Health, Friendship Place, DC VETS and Housing Community Services.
Depending on the referring agency, some residents receive temporary housing vouchers and supports through that agency. Others cover their own costs through income such as VA disability benefits, Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SSVF), employment, Social Security or SSDI, and support from family. Our team helps every resident understand their options.
