History
Council considered a special use permit for a day shelter at their meeting on February 5, 2007. At the time this was for an organization known as COMPASS. [2]
In 2008, Tom hired Janet Matthews to project manage the renovation, then called the First Street Church Project. A partnership with the Blue Ridge Area Coalition for the Homeless (BRACH), formerly known as Thomas Jefferson Area Coalition for the Homeless, was formed. In 2009, BRACH hired Kaki Dimock as their executive director with the task of opening and operating The Haven. On January 18, 2010, The Haven opened its doors.[3]
In 2015, The Haven became an independent nonprofit.
