Program Update:
Hello all –
This month we are focusing on the basics of our program, what kind of program Haven is, who we serve, and the services we provide. It’s important to us that you know that we are here for ALL victims of crime. Read below and call if you have questions, we’re here to help.
What Kind of Program is Haven?
Haven is a tribal advocacy program that focuses on assisting all current victims of crime. While we are tribal program (focus specifically on Eastern Shawnee victims regardless of where they live), we assist all victims that come to our office for assistance within the tribe’s service area of Ottawa County Oklahoma, and cities Vinita, Grove, Jay Oklahoma and Seneca MO. For Eastern Shawnee Tribal members, we assist all victims regardless of where they live, meaning if you live in Oregon or Oklahoma and are an Eastern Shawnee victim of current crime we are here to assist with your needs.
Who do we assist?
We assist victims of crime including, but not limited to, burglary, arson, victim of DUI/DWI crash, aggravated assault, fraud, elder abuse, identity abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. For Eastern Shawnee clients who live outside our immediate area, services may differ and are contingent upon working with a local advocate in your area.
What kinds of services to we provide?
We have two types of services, emergency services and long-term transitional housing services. Our emergency services focus on the short-term urgent needs of victims such as legal and counseling services, emergency needs after the current victimization (locks changed after burglary etc), and change of clothes, birth certificate and ID’s, etc. We also have mobile advocacy services and short-term emergency shelter options for those that qualify. Our long-term transitional housing services focus on the long-term needs of victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and are centered around creating self-sufficiency in the lives of our clients.
The type of services that best fit clients’ needs will be determined during the intake process. Services are contingent upon needs verified during intake.
If you have questions, please contact HAVEN and talk with one of our advocates about how we can help and what services Haven can provide.
