Program Update:
Hello all –
This month we are focusing on the basics of our program, what kind of program is Haven? Who do we serve? What services do we provide? 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, specifically victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking.
Who do we assist?
We assist all current victims of crime, focusing on victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. We also assist current victims of burglary, arson, victim of DUI/DWI crash, aggravated assault, fraud, elder abuse, identity abuse, etc.
What kinds of services do 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. Our long-term transitional housing services, for clients who qualify, 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.
What kinds of advocacy do we provide?
Our advocates can assist with emergency and transitional housing needs. We have advocates that focus on legal services – to walk you through the process of our legal services and explain the judicial process. We have transitional housing advocates – our transitional housing advocates work monthly with eligible clients to assist clients with becoming self-sufficient financially. We have advocates that focus on assisting victims and their families as well as mobile advocacy. We have advocates in-house to warmly answer your questions when you come into the office and walk you through the next steps and we have advocates who work with Eastern Shawnee tribal members who live outside of Oklahoma.
The type of services that best fit clients’ needs will be determined during the intake process. Services are contingent upon needs verified during intake.
Remember, you are NOT ALONE! For more information on the services we can provide please reach out to Haven to speak with an advocate.
