ULI Homeless to Housed Case Study: Haven for Hope

ケーススタディの要約：Haven for Hope is the nation’s largest transformational campus for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. On any given day, Haven for Hope offers a safe environment to over 1,400 people. In conjunction with more than 180 partner organizations--70 of whom provide direct services on the Haven campus--Haven provides, coordinates, and delivers an unparalleled system of care to address the root causes of homelessness to help ensure individuals and families are sustainable in their new homes. The 22-acre campus is located in a former industrial area west of downtown San Antonio and adjacent to the city’s central business district.

As a 501(c)(3) organization, Haven for Hope’s development cost of just over $100 million was funded with a mix of publicly and privately sourced funds. About 1,400 individuals reside at Haven for Hope per night, and more than 40,000 clients have received services. More than 7,000 clients have been permanently housed, and 92 percent of those housed by Haven for Hope remain in their homes after one year. Interested in ULI's work on addressing homelessness?
