RAQUANS HAVEN INC

Raquans Haven provides faith-based housing and supportive services to women and families experiencing housing instability. During the 2024 tax year, the organization provided stable housing to 6 families, including 4 single mothers and their children, totaling 12 children served. Additionally, the organization assisted 1 single disabled woman facing homelessness by securing permanent housing. In 2024, the organization expanded its housing capacity by purchasing a new affordable housing unit with the assistance of a partial housing grant and financing from a community lending partner. The objective of this program is to provide immediate safe and stable housing to vulnerable individuals and families. The long-term goal is to reduce homelessness among women and children by increasing access to affordable housing and supportive services that promote long-term stability and independence.

Raquans Haven is developing a transitional housing program to provide short-term housing and stabilization services to women and single mothers facing homelessness. During the 2024 tax year, the organization continued renovation efforts on its transitional housing property, including maintenance, utilities, insurance, and security-related expenses. The transitional housing program is expected to be completed in 2026 and will provide housing for up to 8 women and single mothers at a time, offering a safe environment and supportive services designed to transition participants into permanent housing. The objective of this program is to expand the organizations capacity to serve women in crisis. The long-term goal is to provide structured transitional housing that supports stability, self-sufficiency, and successful long-term housing outcomes.
