Safe Havens: Overview: A Safe Haven is a 24hr/7 days a week community-based early recovery model of supportive housing that serves hard-to-reach and hard-to-engage Veterans with severe mental illness and/or substance use disorders. The program does not demand treatment participation although it is available. The program does expect participants to transition from unsafe environments to permanent housing and re-engage with treatment.
There are a total of 23 Safe Havens, 22 of which are operational. Original sites are located in Bedford, Bay Pines, Tampa, Philadelphia and New York. In FY 2013, an additional 17 sites were funded: Austin, Chicago, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Detroit, Ft. Wayne, Kansas City, Shreveport, Los Angles, San Diego, Canandaigua, Montgomery, Leavenworth, Cleveland, Boston, Baltimore, and Washington DC. Currently, Akron is non-operational.
The Center’s Model Implementation Framework (CMIF) development model was utilized to monitor and ensure fidelity of the initially funded sites, and to guide recommendations for site expansion and improvements. Sites funded in FY 2012 were provided ongoing guidance; those funded in FY 2013 were provided technical assistance for operations and development.
