Program Update:

Hello all –

The Haven Office has moved to a new location! After relocating from our previous office on the 695 Road to the Bluejacket Building, our team has worked hard to transform the new space into a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment for both clients and staff.

The new location provides additional space for our advocates to work more collaboratively and be more centrally located, while also offering clients and their families a comfortable and private environment to meet with advocates and access services.

In September, the Haven Office held an open house and rededication ceremony to celebrate the new space and this exciting new chapter for the program. We are grateful to everyone whose hard work helped make the new office possible.

We look forward to continuing to serve our clients and their families in this new space and to the opportunities it provides for the Haven Program to grow and strengthen the services we offer to our community.

Haven Office Relocates to Bluejacket Building

Rededication of the Space: Words Spoken at the Ceremony in September

We gather today to awaken this building once more,
To breathe fresh life into its walls,
And to renew our commitment to the ground beneath our feet.

This is not a new foundation,
But a deep one, reinforced by the wisdom of those who came before us.
We honor the ancestors whose strength carried us to this moment.

To the elders who hold our stories: May this space always welcome your voice.
To the youth who carry our tomorrow: May this space always protect your laughter.

We rededicate these walls to be a shelter from the storm,
A sanctuary for our traditions,
A gathering place for survivors, for celebration, and for healing.

As long as the sun rises,
As long as the waters flow,
And as long as our people endure,
Let this building stand as a monument to our resilience.

With grateful hearts, we open these doors anew.

May those who step through these doors feel inspired and energized by its future.
