Haven to Home (HTH)

The Haven to Home Program serves the unhoused members of the community. The HTH program was created to provide supportive services and resources and create a pathway to stability for those experiencing homelessness. The Haven to Home program offers to unhoused clients: access to WVCS Market for food needs, uplift bus passes for transportation needs, laundry quarters, hygiene kits, referrals to shelters, safe parking, and employment resources.  

 

West Valley Community Services partners with the Rotating Safe Car Park, which operates from the North County Safe Car Park program (https://www.propeace.org/rscpshelter.html).
