The mission of Home Free Haven is to provide shelter, support, and hope to the unhoused and underserved individuals in the Shoals.

We are currently planning our 2024-25 Winter Shelter Program. We invite everyone across the Shoals Area to join us in this mission to strengthen our community. 

Home Free Haven does not currently receive any city, county, state, or federal funding and relies solely on the generosity and support of individuals, churches, and businesses of the Shoals Area.

An Approach Focused on Individuals

Meet people where they are

We understand that some individuals may not always be ready for the support we offer. We recognize that taking the first step to seek support can be daunting, and we empathize with the challenges our friends may face in doing so. We aim to meet people where they are, providing a supportive environment where individuals can embark on their journey toward stability at their own pace, one step at a time.

Navigate resources

Recognizing the complexity of accessing resources, we offer hands-on support to help our home free friends navigate available services effectively. Our dedicated team collaborates closely with individuals, providing guidance, information, and practical assistance to access housing, healthcare, job opportunities, addiction treatment, and other essential services.

Provide targeted support

We offer individualized support to address the needs of each person. We strive to address the underlying causes of homelessness and empower individuals to rebuild their lives. Whether someone is experiencing homelessness for the first time or facing long-term struggles, we provide tailored support and resources to address immediate needs and facilitate their journey toward stability.
