Corner Haven Crisis Center
Located in downtown Hazard, Corner Haven Crisis Center provides crisis assistance to people in need. Corner Haven is open 24 hours/day, seven days/week.
Emergency & Transitional Shelter
Corner Haven has 5 cots for emergency shelter and 16 beds for transitional shelter for men and women. These beds provide a temporary place for people to stay while they are working on plans for the future. Residents eat three meals a day and participate in the life of the shelter by planning meals, cooking meals, cleaning the center and doing other activities that can help them to develop life skills necessary for living independently. Residents are linked to our Case Manager who can help them set and reach their goals such as education, employment and permanent housing. Residents who are engaged in case management can stay up to 24 months.
Case Management
Case Manager Jenny Lewis works primarily with persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness through the Supportive Housing Program and KY HEARTH program, both funded by HUD and passed through Kentucky Housing Corporation.
Homelessness
Prevention
Corner Haven offers a variety of crisis assistance services to help families and individuals who are in need. Much of what we have to offer comes from the kind donations of our community, including furniture, household goods and money,
while other resources are provided through HUD's Homelessness Prevention and
Rapid Re-Housing Program through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.
