Housing Assistance for Victims of Economic Neglect is a non-profit organization focusing on Affordable Housing Policies in America. This cross-examination of policy centers around five major pillars of concern. They are as follows:
HAVEN's mission is to assist prospective homebuyers in achieving the American dream by increasing home ownership rates in underserved communities. This largely would be achieved by reforming public policy so innovative strategies could be implemented for the purpose of eliminating roadbloks to affordability, i.e. down payment assistance. In addition we have implemented the "MOVE" Program which provides up to $5K for moving expenses depending on the purchase price of the property.
HAVEN is requesting donations for the purpose of making grants to first-time homebuyers for down payment assistance and help with moving expenses. Under the MOVE Program, HAVEN has already purchased one cargo van. However, we have expanded the scope of services under the MOVE program to include the Power MOVE Program that actually helps with the physical move, i.e. movers (volunteers), transport vehicles to assist with moving smaller, more fragile items, etc. This program is designed to further mitigate some of the cost associated with moving.
HAVEN is an equal opportunity housing assistance organization. This program is available to all people that qualify, regardless of race, color, religion or sexual orientation. HAVEN is committed to ensure equitable services by removing barriers for marginalized populations. The organization's fundamental strategy is to regularly assess and address systemic inequalities in local/national housing policies and practices. HAVEN is working towards and has high expectations to become a part of the matching grants program offered by the CFT.
