What it says it does

GODS HOMELESS HAVEN MINISTRIES IS A CHRIST CENTERED, 501C3 VOLUNTEER-RUN MINISTRY THAT REACHES OUT TO MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN WHO MAY BE LIVING IN POVERTY OR EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. WE SEEK TO BE THE FIRST STEP IN ASSISTING THEM TO CREATE A NEW LIFE FOR THEMSELVES. IT IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT THE MAJORITY OF HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS ARE HOMELESS BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY DO NOT WANT TO WORK. TO THE CONTRARY, RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS TRUE OF ONLY A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THE HOMELESS. MOST HAVE FALLEN ON HARD TIMES DUE TO JOB LOSS, NOT ENOUGH INCOME, SUBSTANCE ABUSE, AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS/BILLS CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ANYONE. GOD'S HAVEN ASSISTS HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS IN TRANSISTION FROM HOMELESS TO A NEW INDEPENDENT LIFE.
