Many of us remember growing up in a neighborhood where we knew everyone. Where we felt safe and cared for. This sense of community connection has been diminishing rapidly over the years. At Community Renewal the health of our neighborhood is an essential aspect to bringing us back together. How we live – together – matters. Haven House is a concrete strategy to take a city back, intentionally and systematically, block by block.
Haven House volunteers turn strangers into friends on the block or in the apartment building where they live.
