YOUTH HAVEN BY THE NUMBERS
In response to a community request, Youth Haven first opened its doors to children in 1972, and has since provided continuous care on an 18.5-acre therapeutic campus in Naples, Florida.
Children & teens who are abused, neglected, abandoned or are homeless come to Youth Haven and receive 24-hour care. They are severely traumatized and in crisis. Youth Haven provides home, hope, and healing to these children & teens in need.
The average stay is 270 days before being placed in a home; however, children can remain at Youth Haven for much longer depending upon their situation.
Currently, up to 70 youth can reside on campus. Due to the growing need in our community, there is often a waitlist for Youth Haven’s services.
Youth Haven developed the Homeless Teen and Transitional Living Program (HTTLP) in 2014, dedicated to serving homeless teens age 16 – 19.
