Honored and excited to be a finalist in the Community Impact category for our work and collaborative leadership on the 100 Day Challenge.

Nationwide, more children live in the state of homelessness than in most American states. This is why our work here at Safe Haven is more important than ever before. Last year we served 332 families, which included 758 children. Per data from the National Center for Homeless Education, the number of children experiencing homelessness during the 2021-2022 school year nationwide was greater than the total number of children in 28 states. Nearly 1.2 million children were either literally homeless (living in a shelter, or in unsheltered locations such as a car or tent) or doubled-up (sharing housing with friends or family beyond a unit’s designated capacity).

This #LaborDay we join you in honoring the hard work of all Americans. We celebrate the work of our families, staff, volunteers, board, donors and community partners who work together everyday to make sure more families have a place to call home.

We are honored to be a finalist for the Center for Nonprofit Management - Nashville, TN Salute to Excellence Awards in the category of Community Impact. We are so proud of our work and leadership with the collaborative 100 Day Challenge. In the Fall of 2023, Safe Haven along with The Family Collective of United Way of Greater Nashville and 30 partnering organizations set out to house 100 families in 100 days. Through these collaborative efforts, 123 families were housed in 100 days, meeting and exceeding the projected goal. We also worked and continue to work to bring about structural, relational, and transformative change for solving family homelessness in Davidson County. We believe we can end family homelessness (reach functional zero) in our community and know that collaboration with organizations, government, individuals and corporations is key to reaching that goal.

Celebrating, Aileen Katcher, APR, Fellow PRSA!!! We are so thankful to have Aileen serve on our Board and as an officer on the Executive Committee. Her wealth of experience and expertise is invaluable!

Special thanks to Niya Moon, Manager of Corporate Philanthropy for Jackson National, for stopping by Safe Haven on Friday for an update and to discuss ways to strengthen our partnership. We are grateful to Niya and Jackson for all of the support!
