Homestead Haven Foundation

At Homestead Haven Foundation, youth have a safe home and stable base while they prepare for independence. They share a homestead with peers, cook meals and learn to care for their space.

• Gain daily living skills like cooking, cleaning and budgeting.
• Build healthy routines and self-care habits.
• Experience community living and shared responsibilities.

Through agriculture and life skills training, our residents learn hands-on skills that build confidence and independence. They tend gardens, care for animals and practice cooking, budgeting and job readiness.

• Learn to grow food, care for animals and understand where food comes from.
• Practice budgeting, cooking and home upkeep for independent living.
• Develop problem-solving and teamwork on a working homestead.

Every young person is matched with a caring mentor who offers guidance, encouragement and listens. Residents also get counseling to help heal and plan for a strong future.

• Set personal goals and make plans with a mentor.
• Get emotional support and guidance through counseling.
• Build self-confidence, resilience and healthy relationships.
