Haven House respects the confidentiality of all residents residing at the shelter. We rarely share client-specific information, and when we do it is under the following guidelines:

With written permission from the family
When required by a court order
When someone is potentially in danger, and the release of information can alleviate the threat
When we receive a call asking for a specific resident, we will acknowledge that the person is a resident and offer to take a message if they are not here.
