60 Sessions (1year 3 months)

• Housing Ready & Rehabilitation - Therapy 4 The Soul /Safe Haven, will partner with landlords, property managers, and realtors, to assist with temporary or permanent housing. We will encourage and reinforce the importance of living within your means, some participants will be encouraged to move into rooming houses or roommates as temporary living.

We are not affiliated with the DC Housing Authority. Our housing goal is to encourage individuals and families to not live above their means but to use stepping stones to complete goals.

We will assist individuals and families with the best housing options to accommodate them. 

We encourage and assist individuals to plan, save, and roommate, instead of relying on government housing and government funds alone. 

We know everyone does not qualify for government assistance and for those who do, we will encourage, assist, and work with them to use it as a temporary resource not permanent, and make goals to be able to maximize their income and potential. 

Roommate Housing

Therapy 4 The Soul/Safe Haven, has a structured roommate plan, we will be involved and guide participants through the whole process. We select those we think are compatible as roommates, meet with them separately and together. We help them with their monthly budgets, savings, monthly living evaluations, and more.

Advanced Options

Our revolving door and advance classes for participating members, who came through one of our initiatives and need an extra push or may have fallen behind. We are still here to assist them with getting back and keeping them on track. 

These classes are ongoing lifelong classes, once a participating member always a participating member.
