Our Mission

Equip and Empower Homeless or Imminently Homeless Young Adults with the Skills and Support They Need to be Safe and Self-Supporting

The Haven Project is a nonprofit north of Boston dedicated specifically to providing age appropriate services to a growing, vulnerable 17-24 year old homeless young adult population. We implement our mission through six essential focus areas: basic needs, employment, housing, education, health, and community engagement.

How We Change Lives

Our Services

Basic Needs

No one can focus on their future when they’re hungry or cold. We meet urgent needs first—hot meals, clean clothes, and emergency support—so young people can focus on what’s next.

Employment

A job is more than a paycheck—it’s a pathway. We equip young people with the tools, training, and confidence to launch a career they can be proud of.

Housing

We turn instability into opportunity by helping youth move from the streets to safe, stable housing—one step, one key, one future at a time.

Education

Every diploma earned is a door opened. We help young adults stay in school, re-engage, or reach new academic milestones on their journey to independence.

Health

Healing starts with connection. We provide access to physical and mental health resources so youth can build resilience and thrive, not just survive.

Community

From volunteer projects to peer-led events, we foster belonging and leadership—because empowered youth don’t just rebuild their lives, they lift their communities too.

The Haven program has been a part of my life since high school. As a young adult, I struggled for many years, living on my own without parental support. The Haven program provided me with a community that showed up for me every single day. Each individual helped me build character and share my blessings with others. In a world where many feel overlooked, I was seen.

I just wanted to reach out to you to express how grateful I am to have you help me get out of one of my toughest times in life. Now that I have a home, I am allowed to work on myself as an adult. You not only helped me get through my toughest battle, but helped me understand that there really is a light at the end of the tunnel. I now have a safe place to go to when I am out of work, where I can pause life and REST my brain. There are so many little things that I have worried about accomplishing, but was set back due to my living situation. Words can not express how great the work is you’re doing. You are not only changing lives, but SAVING lives.. Like you did mine.

The Haven Project is like a family to me. When I had no where and nothing but sadness and couch surfing to sleeping in cars, getting in trouble and going through the worst times of my life they stuck by me through thick and thin and were/are my main support system they make me feel safe and like it is going to be okay. They helped me build the confidence I never thought I would have and the life ive always wanted. Even though things are still tough, I’ve been a solider getting through it all but I wouldn’t have been able to be who I am today with out The Haven Project.
