Safe Havens provide
low-demand transitional housing and supportive services to 40 chronically mentally ill homeless adults in four houses throughout the county. This population is often the most difficult to engage in treatment and are generally not successful in other group or shelter environments. The ultimate goal of the Safe Haven program is to help clients transition to a more independent, permanent, and healthy living situation.
Services include:
Comfortable and non-threatening environment
Case management and counseling
Life skills training
Weekly, on-site psychiatric services
Connection to medical care, vocational training, day treatment programs and other appropriate community resources
The Coalition established its first Safe Haven in Laytonsville in 1993 to meet the needs of the most vulnerable, seriously mentally ill adults in Montgomery County.
In July 1995, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development recognized the Coalition’s success with the Safe Haven program and awarded the Coalition a grant to open new Safe Havens. Currently the Coalition operates four Safe Havens, in Laytonsville, Rockville, Gaithersburg, and Takoma Park.
